On Patients

"I believe people with MS should have an active role in directing their care. As such, my most important role as a physician is to provide information and choices to my patients. Because every person with MS has different needs, we believe in individualizing therapies using a multidisciplinary approach to patient care."

On Virginia Mason

"Patients with MS and other neurologic disorders can often benefit from the ongoing care of multiple providers. At Virginia Mason, we are committed to excellence in patient care, education and research.all under one roof. We can work together to make the best care more accessible to patients."
