Where I practice
About me
I was born in Bismarck, North Dakota, and spent my first 22 years in the state. After completing my medical education at Yale and my surgical training in Philadelphia, I moved to Seattle in 2003. I now consider it home. I have been happily married since 2009, and we have an energetic border collie who loves to play fetch. I became a doctor because it gives me joy and satisfaction to help others lead healthy, fulfilling lives; working at Kaiser Permanente, I feel empowered to provide patient-focused care in a setting free of financial incentives or biases.
About my practice
My training as a chemical engineer has provided me with unique problem-solving skills that apply well to medical diagnostics and care. Urology is a balance of cutting-edge surgical intervention and long-term medical care, and I strive to include my patients in a shared decision-making process that prioritizes their hopes and goals. I am especially interested in genitourinary cancers, kidney stones, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
How I thrive
I stay active by hiking, walking, and skiing, and my hobbies include cooking and photography. To relax, I enjoy spending time in the company of my wife, family, and friends. I also like to travel, especially internationally, as I feel there is much to be learned from other peoples and cultures. I am grateful to live in Seattle, which allows for a quick trip to the ocean and the mountains.

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.
