About

I was a practicing Infectious Disease specialist in Portland, Oregon, from 1990 to 2023. I was voted a US News and World Report best US doctor, best ID doctor in Portland Magazine multiple times, had multiple teaching awards and, most importantly,  the ‘Attending Most Likely To Tell It Like It Is’ by the medical residents at my hospital. More about me on the wikipedia if interested.
