About Me
I joined Kaiser Permanente in 1999 as an internal medicine physician and now work exclusively as a virtual medical doctor for the Colorado region. Although you may not sign up with me as your primary care provider (PCP), you will often find me providing virtual medical care as a Telephone and Video Advice physician or on the popular Chat with a Doctor service on kp.org. As the lead of the Telephone and Video Advice service, my team of physicians works with you from the convenience of your home computer or mobile phone to care for your medical needs.
After completing medical school at the University of Minnesota Medical School in 1992, my wife and I moved to Colorado so that I could complete my internal medicine residency at the University of Colorado in Denver. Having spent years at Kaiser Permanente providing care in medical offices, my training now allows me to provide around-the-clock virtual health care for you and your family.
About my practice
An internal medicine career allowed me to treat adults with almost any medical issue, from well care physicals to heart disease and diabetes. Ankle sprains, pneumonia, back problems, blood pressure and many other issues are all within the spectrum of internal medicine.
To thrive, we must take care of our mind, body and spirit. I can help you with sound, evidence-based medical advice around the clock, when you need it. You can always expect that if you are receiving medical advice from me, it is the same advice I would give to my own family. Electronic medical records help me to see the big picture of your health, so I can answer your questions and coordinate your care most effectively.
How I thrive
My wife and I have 2 boys, both now in college. One wants to be a pilot and the other an engineer. We love Colorado and you can often find us exploring mountain biking trails, hiking trails, or Jeeping along the ridge of a mountain peak as a family. We thrive outside in the great outdoors away from the fast pace of the city.
