"It is important for a patient to feel at ease with their provider; I strive to accomplish this by having good communication with my patients."
Board certified Ophthalmology
No Limitations
I have been getting my care from Kaiser Permanente since I was a child and I can't imagine practicing any other style of medicine. I love working with so many other skilled providers in a system that lets me make the patient my priority and where I know all the providers will give my patients excellent care. In my opinion, the most important thing in medicine is for a patient to feel at ease with their provider; I strive to accomplish this by having good communication with my patients. I listen to their concerns and take an interest in their life beyond their medical concerns. My specialty is working with any ophthalmology patients.
I was born in Seattle and grew up in Bellevue. I completed all my medical training at the University of Washington, which is where I met my husband. We have two sons—both born at Kaiser Permanente - and three cats. I now live just a few miles from where I grew up. When I was in sixth grade, I decided I wanted to be a doctor and have never regretted my decision. I love my field of ophthalmology where I can truly help my patients improve their lives. I work with some of the same patients I had when I started here in 1991, and it is a pleasure to continue being a part of their lives.
