Banner Health has a great presence and reputation throughout Arizona and the other six Western states. I was initially attracted to Banner Health because of its high standards of care and how easy it is to share electronic medical information between its facilities. I have lived in Phoenix and worked in this Banner system for more than a decade. 

Completing my residency at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center, I continued to work and teach in the hospital in addition to building a thriving internal medicine practice with my partners. Clearly, the care that is delivered to my patients at Banner facilities has been exceptional - the emergency physicians, intensivists, hospitalists, specialists and hospital staff are committed to excellence. Simply put, I know my patients are in good hands. 

Living in the metro Phoenix area also offers so many attractions - great mountain bike trails, restaurants and multi-cultural activities. The proximity of the geographically diverse regions of Arizona - the stunning canyons and national parks, also make Phoenix a desirable place to live.

My commitment to providing the best medical care possible and to achieving the best patient outcomes clearly aligns with Banner’s mission of “making a difference in people’s lives through excellent patient care.”
