About Me
As your personal physician and general internist, I would like to express my appreciation for the opportunity to provide you medical care over time. We strive at Kaiser Permanente to provide excellent, high-quality medical care and service. As a Primary Care Physician, my clinical time is primarily in the outpatient clinic. I spend a portion of my professional efforts in administration, and a portion of time in the hospital-inpatient service, as well as time with the Internal Medicine Residency training program.
I am a native mid-westerner from Wisconsin, but started my health care career in the northwest, first in nursing. I went on to receive my undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Seattle Pacific University. Although I worked a few shifts during my residency with The Permanente Medical Group, when I graduated from residency, I started with a successful, but brief career in private practice in Oakland. I joined The Permanente Medical Group full time in 1990, because I believed in the quality and collegiality of the organization. Support, from The Permanente Medical Group and Kaiser, for providing medical care for patients, superceded what was present, even then, in fee-for-service practice. Outside of my vocation, I enjoy my family home life and take pleasure in music, reading, and theater/opera.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
