Where I practice
About me
I grew up in Walla Walla, Washington, on my parent's wheat farm. My wife works as a pediatric nurse practitioner, and we're the proud parents of twins. My experience as a patient early in life inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. Positively impacting the lives of my patients and my community is a rewarding and humbling aspect of my job that motivates my life and career. I graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine, where I stayed on for my residency in orthopedics. I completed two fellowships; in sports medicine and in hand and microvascular surgery at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
About my practice
I take a collaborative approach to patient care, working as a team with patients to identify a recovery plan that fits their lifestyle. I strive to support and encourage patients as they reach their health goals. I believe that open communication and making a personal connection with patients are the most important factors in working together to achieve the best positive health outcome. The procedures I perform and conditions I treat include ACL repair, injuries of the knee, meniscus repair, cartilage restoration, rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability, shoulder bursitis, elbow and wrist arthroscopy, joint replacement, endoscopic carpal tunnel release, Dupuytren's disease and ligament injury. Helping patients stay motivated from their first visit following their injury through the healing process and returning to the activities they love is tremendously rewarding.
How I thrive
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and supporting the University of Washington football and basketball teams. Staying active and exercising regularly helps me to relieve stress and clear my head. To keep myself healthy, I lift weights, ski and golf.

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.
