Based in the Puget Sound Region, Serving Patients throughout Washington State

Practice Focus, Interests

As a practicing Obstetrician/Gynecologist for over 25 years, one of the most satisfying aspects of my work has been helping patients and their families navigate the healthcare system. Medical situations can be confusing due to complexity, multiple treatment options, or value systems that are different from those of their care providers. Sometimes serving as an interpreter of the language and culture of medicine is all that is needed. Other times several treatment options must be evaluated to help with medical decision making. Often patients are overwhelmed trying to sort through the abundance of medical information. All of these areas are ones in which I am skilled at putting together the pieces of the healthcare puzzle.

Professional History

I have practiced as an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, providing health care for women, since 1983. I have both inpatient and outpatient experience, having delivered babies, provided prenatal care and outpatient gynecologic care, and performed gynecologic surgery. I was trained in a large University Hospital setting, spent a year as a clinical assistant professor at a UCLA teaching hospital training resident physicians while caring for patients, and have provided medical relief work overseas. I worked in private practice before joining a large HMO, where I practiced for 17 years.

Academic Background

I am a board certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist, licensed in Washington State (license number MD 00024746) and California (license number G59965). I graduated from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine in 1983, and completed my residency in Ob/Gyn at the University of Iowa Medical Center in 1987.
