Physician Assistant

I have enjoyed working as a P.A. for 30 years and continue to do so. Dr. Schwartz and I have worked much of that time together which has been a benefit, at least for me. We have gone from writing in charts, sometimes even hard to read ourselves, to a new way of life which is the computer! The practice is growing at a rapid pace and it is nice to be a part of that growth.

I was raised in Ohio and came to California while serving as an emergency technician at Edwards Air Force Base. That was how I was introduced to the occupation of Physician Assistant and also where I learned many of the skills it takes to treat patients just like you and your family.

Due to the great difference in weather conditions, I decided to move to California after I graduated from college. I am married to my wife, Judy, who teaches elementary school. We live in the mountains with three, at the moment, rescue dogs. We enjoy horses and have had some in the past. It appears we are about to get a couple more soon. I am leaning towards a mule for me this time, as the trails in the mountains can be steep and rocky, so the more sure-footed the better.
Hope to be able to help your family with any of your medical needs in the future. See you soon and, yes, I am the tall guy who used to have a pony tail.
