We moved to Enumclaw, WAright out of residency and have been here ever since. My practice included OB, ER, inpatient, and office practice. Stopped OB in 85 and ER in 90. Still did inpatient until recently. I just retired after 34 years. We provided a lot (over 20%) charity care and did some teaching of medical students and nursing students. I'm still part owner of our medical building that we lease to Franciscan Medical Group - they were my employer for the past 10 years.
Saw over 150.000 office visits in 34 years of practice and enjoyed almost all of it.
We enjoy traveling, bicycling, photography, gardening, volunteer work
