Where I practice
About me
I was born and raised in Poland and moved to the United States with my family when I was a teenager. I completed most of my education in the Northeast part of the country and consider that area to be my home away from home. I am a recent transplant to the West Coast and am looking forwarding to making Washington my home. I am happily married to my husband, who is also a doctor. We enjoy spending time outdoors, and we are excited to explore the Pacific Northwest wilderness together. I chose to join Kaiser Permanente because of their whole-person, patient-centered approach to care, which resonates with my approach to healthcare.
About my practice
My areas of expertise include cataract and glaucoma care. I strive to care for my patients the way I would want my family or myself to be treated. Everyone has different lifestyles and preferences, and it's important to me to personalize care plans for each patient. Getting to know my patients over time is very rewarding.
How I thrive
I stay active by running, hiking, and biking. Spending time with my family and friends keeps me motivated and inspired. I enjoy traveling and exploring new places.

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.
