Brief Intro

Why I Became a Physician My path toward becoming a physician was a little circuitous. I always gravitated toward sciences during my education. I worked my way through college as an emergency medical technician (EMT) with a local ambulance service. During my graduate work, I realized that I enjoyed direct patient care much more than research. Why I Chose My Specialty Emergency medicine is the natural progression from my experience with the emergency medical system. I relish the opportunity to treat acute, even life-threatening problems. What I Like about Kaiser Permanente Because Kaiser Permanente is a completely integrated health care system, it allows me to work closely with colleagues of various specialties to provide the best care for each patient. My Philosophy on Healing I believe that healthy people tend to stay healthy, and that health maintenance and disease prevention are of paramount importance. My role in the emergency department is to provide the body with assistance in recovering from acute illness. Other Personal Interests I enjoy biking, hiking, SCUBA diving, and spending time with my family.
