Where I practice
About me
I was born in Austin, Texas, but I've lived in Chicago, Boston, New York City, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. I'm happy, however, to finally call Washington state and the Puget Sound area home.
About my practice
I chose to practice at Kaiser Permanente Washington because I wanted to work and collaborate with an organization that I could grow with over time. With a superb team of caring and compassionate providers and staff members, I know I've made the right decision. It's wonderful knowing that this health care delivery system is always seeking to expand the expert resources that are available to me and my patients. My approach to health care delivery is always about teamwork. Things work best when everyone works together toward a common goal, including the patient, their trusted family members, the hard-working medical staff, and the provider. As medical a specialty, neurology is on the cutting edge of medical advances and treatment options. I look forward to caring for all my patients and their families as we journey together toward better health.
How I thrive
I'm constantly inspired by nature and the people around me, and I'm always looking for ways to reciprocate that inspiration.

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.
