About 9Line
A physician-led practice for active-duty service members and veterans — built on clarity, respect, and clinical judgment.
Mission
9Line exists to give service members and veterans a straightforward place to discuss hormone health and wellness with a physician who understands the context of military and post-service life.
We favor education over hype. Consultations are directed toward helping you understand options and plan next steps — not toward selling a fixed outcome or a branded promise.
Who we serve
Current active-duty service members and veterans. Schedules, deployments, VA systems, and operational constraints are part of the conversation when they matter to your care.
How we operate
Care is physician-directed. 9Line is physician-led and veteran-owned. We do not claim SDVOSB status or other government certifications on this site.
Background
Our physician grew up in Southern California and earned a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology at Brigham Young University. He received his medical degree from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed family medicine residency at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington (University of Washington Family Medicine Residency Network). He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians (FAAFP) and speaks English and Spanish.
Military service
A former U.S. Army Major, he deployed to Afghanistan in 2012–2013 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom as the Squadron Surgeon for the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment (1-4 Cav). He is a disabled veteran who continues to care for the military community through 9Line.
Clinical focus
Hormone health and wellness consultations for service members and veterans — education-first, physician-directed, without hype.
A note on tone: We nod to service without costume drama. No tacticool branding, no body-shame, no “transformation” galleries. Just professional care for people who have already done hard things.
