I am board certified in both Emergency Medicine (American Board of Physician Specialties - 2021) and Family Medicine (American Board of Family Medicine - 1993). For the first thirteen years of my practice, I performed Family Medicine including Emergency Room, Obstetrical and Inpatient care. Beginning in 2006, I spent five years working solely in the Emergency Room at Banner Health-Page Hospital. In 2011, I returned to work in both Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine, as well as Hospice care. Throughout my thirty years of medical practice, I have always practiced at least part-time Emergency Medicine. I have worked Emergency Medicine jobs in Page, Winslow and Phoenix, Arizona. I have been Medical Director at the Page and Winslow Emergency Departments, Encompass Health Services, and Zion's Way Hospice in Page, AZ. I currently work as a contracted ER Physician through The Emergency Center (TEC) at Dignity Health Services' Free Standing Emergency Rooms in the Phoenix, AZ metro area. I am currently the Medical Director at the Camelback ER site in Glendale, AZ.
I worked part-time as a contracted ER physician for Dignity Health Services from June 2015 until May 1, 2018. Since May 1, 2018, I have worked full-time (12-16 shifts/month) as a contracted employee for Dignity Health Services at several of their free-standing ER's and at Arizona General Hospital, all located within the Phoenix metro area. As of April 2019, I added the responsibilities of being the Medical Director at Dignity Health Services' Camelback ER Facility in Glendale, AZ.
