About Me

I’ve always seen the doctor-patient relationship as a partnership, based on mutual understanding and excellent communication. So much uncertainty exists in medicine despite amazing technology and procedures that save lives. All the technology available doesn’t add up to great care unless we can speak openly to one another and understand each other’s perspectives. Despite being from California originally, my education has brought me to both sides of the US. We are unique in the Pacific NW and need to celebrate that in our practice of medicine.
