Where I practice
About me
I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. I moved to Seattle to play soccer for Seattle University, and attended medical school at the University of Washington. I trained in surgery at Virginia Mason Medical Center. After a year of specialty training in advanced laparoscopic surgery in Portland, I returned to Seattle. They say a career in surgery chooses you, and that was true for me. I love being a surgeon. Being able to help patients through emergency and life-altering situations is a true privilege. I co-developed our only transgender surgery program in Kaiser Permanente, and volunteered to teach surgical operations in Vietnam.
About my practice
It is very important to me that my patients become active participants in their care. My goal is to clearly explain their problem, how I can fix it with an operation, and what they can expect after surgery. I empower my patients with information, so they can make an informed decision in their operative care. I am fellowship trained in all aspects of advanced minimally invasive surgery, from colon cancer to heartburn disease to hernia repairs, as well as rare problems like adrenal and spleen disorders. My areas of specialty are LGBTQ care, transgender surgery, minimally invasive surgery, adrenal tumors, heartburn surgery, disorders of the spleen, hernia repairs, and colorectal surgery. Through surgery, I have the privilege of helping my patients in a direct way.
How I thrive
My favorite place is on the water, whether lounging on the lake in our pontoon boat, stand-up paddle boarding, surfing, or playing in the waves. I stay healthy by eating a balanced diet, working out at my local gym, lifting weights, and taking long walks with my partner and our dogs. I also enjoy listening to music and cheering for our local sports teams.

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.
