About Me and My Practice
On Patients
Each patient is unique and has different health care needs. Spending time to establish effective communication with them is integral to quality healthcare. Not only do I enjoy getting to know patients, but doing so also allows me to form a treatment plan that is realistic and best accommodates their needs.
On Neurology
Neurology is fascinating, and the science and treatments are continually advancing. I enjoy the continuing education and the opportunity to apply new knowledge to improve patient care.
About Me
As a child, I loved my toy doctor set and played with it daily. I’ve always been drawn to health care and I cannot imagine having a different profession. I have practiced in many parts of our country and even overseas, but I feel so fortunate to live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Personal Information
The Olympic Peninsula is the ideal place for my family and I to enjoy the outdoors. I delight in camping, fishing, kayaking and skiing.

Clinical Interests
The variety of conditions treated in general neurology keeps my practice interesting, but I particularly enjoy treating patients with headaches and Parkinson's disease.
