Philosophy of Care

I pride myself on providing first-rate medical care. I listen carefully and am attentive to my patients' needs. It is very important that my patients' concerns are addressed and that I communicate clearly with them. I want patients to feel that they are very special, and most importantly, want them to receive the best medical care available.

Voted one of Seattle's "top doctors" in Seattle Magazine (2010 & 2000).

Personal Interests

I enjoy spending free time with my wife and two daughters.  I am a runner and enjoy all sports.  I also enjoy reading, traveling, and good food. My hobby is computer programming.  I have written a computerized medical record system which was previously used in my practice as well as the software which was used for greater than 10 years by the GI unit of our clinic.  I currently write software for the iPhone and iPad with several apps selling on Apple's App Store.
