Here at Kaiser Permanente, I’m thrilled to be part of an organization that puts patients’ health and well-being first. I’m honored when patients allow me to play a role in their lives, whether it’s through preventive care, advice on staying healthy, or over the course of diagnosis and treatments. My goal is to be open and honest with my patients, to listen empathetically, and to do all I can for them. In addition to my work at Kaiser Permanente, I’m a part-time clinical faculty member at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Spokane. I also founded the Eastern Washington Gender Health Group, a group of providers, therapists, social workers, and others who care for the transgender community. Each August, I volunteer as camp doctor for Camp Nor'wester Family Camp, a camp for kids ages 9-16 in the San Juan Islands.
