Overview

Within endocrinology, I see all aspects of thyroid disease, pituitary and adrenal disease, PCOS and menstrual irregularities, osteoporosis and diabetes. I have a particular clinical interest in diabetes. Specifically, I see many older adolescent and young adult patients with type 1 diabetes during their transition from pediatric to adult care. In fact, I was part of a group that started a type 1 transition program for this patient population at the University of Washington. I also have a special interest in helping patients with late-onset autoimmune diabetes, diabetes management during pregnancy, sports and exercise, diabetes technology and cancer treatment. I love getting to know my patients over the years. In endocrinology, most patients are seen on a routine basis throughout the year, which is key to keeping up on health. It also provides the opportunity to get to know patients very well. Forming a strong, trusting relationship is key to providing top-notch personalized care. Many aspects of life make it difficult for us to keep up with our health, and I am honored to help patients navigate through any challenges that might come up. I feel it is especially important to spend time educating patients on their health and treatment options so they can make well-informed decisions. My practice philosophy is to provide patients with the gold standard of care while also individualizing treatment plans for each patient, as one size does not always fit all.
