Personal Information

I have been interested in the Pacific Northwest since I was a child, because of my love for the landscape and music. When I learned that Washington's educational programs are some of the best, most advanced health care systems in the country, I knew it was the right fit for me and my family.
When I'm not caring for patients, I'm spending time with my family outdoors, listening to rock music and watching films.

After he told about the treatments and which is the best. He let me think about it over the weekend and I gave my answer through the portal.

My situation was rather complicated and he understood it and was up to date on it and was referring me to another doctor along with explaining everything.
