Where I practice
About me
I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and went to medical school and residency training in Kansas City, Missouri. I knew I wanted to be a doctor since the sixth grade because I was very good at science, anatomy, math, and really enjoyed helping people. I have been married for 24 years and have 5 children, 2 cats, and 1 dog.
About my practice
I have been with Kaiser Permanente for 26 years and choose to work here because of the organization's commitment to evidence-based medicine. I have a strong belief in preventive health care and strive to educate my patients by making complex situations simple to understand. I want my patients to feel they've been heard and have had their needs met with every interaction. My practice includes minimally invasive surgery, gynecology, menopause and hormone care, endometriosis, LGBTQ care and low-level infertility treatment.
How I thrive
I like to eat healthy, and I've never seen a vegetable I didn't like, except for lima beans! I try to exercise three or four times a week and as a soccer fanatic, I've coached my sons' soccer teams for the past 12 years. My family loves to play games of all types and I especially like trivia. If I hadn't chosen to be a physician I would have pursued a career as a jazz musician. I played saxophone and piano with bands all through medical school and residency training.

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.
