Worth knowing
- He is labeled a geriatrician, but our research did not confirm a separate board certification in geriatric medicine. The certification we found listed in directories is Family Practice. Patients can ask the office directly or check certification verification services. medicalnewstoday.com
- Sources disagree about his residency training. Doximity lists Albany Medical Center (Family Medicine, 1983-1986), while Vitals lists New York University. This is unresolved. doximity.com
- Sources disagree about hospital affiliation. Providence lists him at its Anchorage campus, while Healthgrades lists him as affiliated with Alaska Regional Hospital and accepting new patients. healthgrades.com
- Sources disagree about years in practice. US News says more than 20 years; WebMD says 44 years. The 1982 graduation date fits the longer figure. health.usnews.com
- A general web search for license discipline returned only the Alaska State Medical Board's search portal and no record matching this physician. This was not a direct check of the board's records, so no conclusion should be drawn either way. Patients can search the board portal themselves. commerce.alaska.gov
