Where I practice
About me
I was born and raised in the Ballard neighborhood in Seattle, Washington. I've been married for 18 years. My wife is a certified physician assistant who also works here, and we have two teenage children.
About my practice
I wanted a job where I could help people and put my brain to good use. I loved being a student health advocate in the University of Washington dorms, and with my strong academic history, medicine seemed the right choice. I've had 24 years' experience at central urgent care. I love the excellent network of colleagues I work with - physicians, physician assistants, and nurses—as well as the emphasis on commonsense medicine and preventive care. I see a wide variety of patients: basically, anyone who walks into my urgent care clinic. I try to be a good listener and compassionate so I can help treat their individual urgent medical needs. My goal is to calm anxious patients and support them, both as a physician and fellow human being, in their urgent medical need.
How I thrive
I do regular exercise to keep me fit, so I'm able to explore the mountains by foot and ski with my family in my spare time. I also like to garden and travel.

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.
