*If you become pregnant I can facilitate your early pregnancy care and work up, including ordering labs and ultrasound for dating. If you wish to continue your pregnancy, I will help you find an OB provider team for your ongoing prenatal care and delivery. I will continue to be available for all other issues that may happen during your pregnancy (that are not directly related to your pregnancy), including guidance with nutrition and optimal health in pregnancy, evaluation for common infections, and I will certainly be available for your postpartum care.
Note on Privacy: I follow all HIPAA laws. My electronic health record complies with all HIPAA laws. The electronic health record I use is not used by anyone else in the community. Thus, your information will only be seen by other health professionals and their staff if their expertise and consultation is needed. I will readily share your health record with other health professionals whenever it will improve your care, with your permission. And, when indicated, I will update your chart in Epic (the electronic health record used by Olympic Medical Center) so that your pertinent health information is up to date.
Medication Assisted Therapy
I am also licensed to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid abuse disorder. This is typically called Medication Assisted Therapy or MAT. I include this care in a typical membership because sobriety is an essential part of wellbeing, and I wholeheartedly support a person's journey with that.
Gatherings for Discussion and Learning Since January 2018!
We meet on roughly a quarterly basis to foster community among people while learning new skills and sharing experiences (might include cooking/nutrition classes, grocery store tour with your doctor, support groups, book discussion, or video viewings with discussion). Most of these ideas came straight from our community members!
Unbeatable Lab and Pathology Prices!
How is this possible? I've developed a relationship with Quest Diagnostics and Cole Diagnostics to arrange for what's called client-based pricing for labs and pathology (biopsies and Paps) ordered outside my clinic. The idea is to have a list of transparent, affordable prices for those needing or choosing to pay for these services out-of-pocket. Let me know if you are interested and I will share the price list with you.
