Where I practice
About me
I grew up in Chicago, Illinois. My wife is an anesthesiologist, and we have a daughter who is a vocal performance major at Pacific Lutheran University, located outside of Tacoma in Parkland, and a son in high school who rows crew. I'm board certified in orthopedic surgery, and I have an M.B.A. degree in medical management from University of Massachusetts.
About my practice
My uncle is an orthopedic surgeon, and I worked with him for two summers while attending college and medical school. I treat patients the same as I'd treat my family. I get satisfaction from knowing that I can fix people, so that they can get back to doing what they want to do. My specialties are hand and upper extremity surgery. I chose to practice here because it is a model of care and work-life balance. I believe health care is a team effort. My patients and I must work together and communicate clearly to get the best outcomes.
How I thrive
I get up at 4:30 nearly every morning to go to the gym. I enjoy sports, live music, travel and ethnic cuisine. When we travel, our favorite vacations are to Italy, Croatia or Palestine.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
