Brief Intro

My Specialties and Why I Chose Them I have three specialty areas. The first area is Family Medicine, which by the way guided my feet upon the path of medicine. When I was growing up I was inspired by our family physician who, was actually like a part of our family. When I finished my training in Family medicine there was still a group of patients that often needed very early and intensive care. Since I wanted to also include these patients in my continuum of care, I continued my training to specialize in Emergency Medicine. Throughout my years of practice in both Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine, I became aware of a special group of patients where I could blend my two areas of training and practice into one. Therefore, I entered the realm of Occupational Medicine. This specialty area blends my emergency medicine skills of urgent acute injury management with that of my family medicine training in continuity of care and prevention. My Practice Philosophy Occupational Medicine is not just the care and rehabilitation of the injured worker, but it must include a well orchestrated interaction between the injured worker, care provider, employer, and occupational system. Only when the parties involved are in concert with one another does the care of the injured worker become world class. Why I Like Practicing Medicine at Kaiser Permanente Practicing Occupational Medicine at Kaiser Permanente is a real pleasure. With our team of physicians, nurse case managers, medical assistants, secretarial support, we have managed to combine several different ideas and systems to maximize patient care while meeting the reporting needs of employers and carriers. We have erased many boundaries to the care of the injured worker. As an example, patients receive care both within the Kaiser system and from our community specialists which enables us to best meet the needs of our patients. On a Personal Note On the lighter side of things I do enjoy teaching my patients about preventative medicine, and connecting with my patients on many subjects but especially woodworking, golfing, and family experiences.
