Where I practice
About me
I was born and raised in Texas and moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1992.
About my practice
A certified hand therapist, I attended the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston School of Allied Health Sciences. The ease of communication with providers across medical specialties and the opportunity to work closely with them is why I joined Kaiser Permanente. Guiding patients along the path to regaining function - so they can be as independent and fulfilled as possibleis how I approach patient care. My specific medical interests include hand, wrist, and elbow care. Interacting with patients and the ability to provide treatment is what I enjoy most about practicing medicine.
How I thrive
I enjoy traveling, wood working, kayaking, gardening, and home repair. Spending as much time in nature helps to keep me grounded. Having a trip to look forward to also helps keep me motivated.

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.
