About me
Working in medicine is a family tradition. I'm a third-generation physician and love the intellectual challenges that I come across every day. I was raised in Colorado, where I studied medicine and worked as the medical director of the University of Colorado Health System's advanced wound care program. I am excited about the opportunity to do the same at Kaiser Permanente. I graduated from the University of Colorado School of Medicine and completed my residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. I am certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
About my practice
I take an honest and mutually respectful approach to patient care, working collaboratively to identify individual challenges and solutions for optimal health. Using education and open discussion, I encourage patients to make positive changes to their lifestyles to prevent disease in the short and long term. My professional career has been focused on my 2 passions: quality primary care and long-term care for patients with chronic, nonhealing wounds. I love the connections I develop with patients and am honored to be a part of the doctor-patient relationship.
How I thrive
To keep myself healthy, I practice what I preach to my patients, follow a near-vegetarian diet (I eat fish but no other meat), and stay active outdoors skiing, fishing, trail running and hiking. I'm an avid reader who appreciates art and music, and I enjoy cheering on my favorite sports teams. Working in medicine helps me to stay motivated and challenges me to learn at least one new thing every day.

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.
