Summary

  • I am a board-certified Otolaryngologist specializing in General Otolaryngology. I completed residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the National Capital Consortium (Bethesda, MD and Washington, D.C.) in 2011. While active duty in the US Navy, I served as Department Head at US Naval Hospital Okinawa, Japan and at Naval Hospital Bremerton, WA. Upon retirement from the Navy, I transitioned to civilian practice, joining the team at North Kitsap Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic in WA. In an ever-changing health care landscape, I find that practicing patient-centered care has been highly effective for me and consistently results in positive outcomes and high patient satisfaction.
