“I’ve been practicing medicine in Tacoma for the past 22 years. I am excited to move into this next phase of my career and take everything I’ve learned practicing in two large health care organizations and use that expertise in our innovative private practice! I love getting to know patients as people and helping them determine what is best to keep them well.” |
