As family medicine physicians, we are committed to exploring healthcare innovation that enhances beneficence by delivering better care to more people. Our goal is to improve primary care access and reduce primary care wait times, all while addressing the critical issue of physician burnout.
I grew up in a Navy household, moving every few years, and spent eight years in the US Navy myself before medical school. Those experiences taught me adaptability and the importance of systems that work no matter where you are.
I chose family medicine because I wanted to build lasting relationships and have the broadest possible impact. But I’ve also been a patient navigating my own medical challenges, experiencing firsthand how even the best healthcare providers work within a system that makes it too hard to get the care you need when you need it, contributing to increased primary care wait times.
After graduating from VCOM in 2018 and completing residency at Riverside Family Medicine in 2021, I moved to the Northern Nevada area, where I’ve been practicing family medicine ever since. I’m looking forward to further professional opportunities in medical education and graduate medical education.
From my first day as a physician, I’ve seen the gap between the “ideal” way we learn to practice medicine in medical school and the reality we face every day. That gap requires healthcare innovation, not just harder work, to address issues like physician burnout that many face in the field.
I’m exploring alternative delivery models that could actually improve access, quality, and cost simultaneously. I believe some of these approaches are not only attainable but could fundamentally change how we serve entire populations. This website is where I think out loud about those challenges and potential solutions.
My focus is on beneficence in its truest sense: doing the most good for the most people, even when that means rethinking how things have always been done.
I live in Nevada with my wife and our two young children. When I’m not practicing medicine, I’m usually reading about health and wellness, exercising, traveling, or trying to solve problems that have been “just the way things are” for too long.
This work wouldn’t be possible without my partner in medicine and in life, Dr. Misty Kasky. Also a family medicine physician, Misty shares my passion for improving healthcare access and delivery. We’re exploring these innovations together, with more to come.
