I have worked for the Permanente Medical Group for over 20 years. During the last 16 years, I have served as the Chief of the Head and Neck Surgery Department at the Hayward Kaiser Foundation Medical Center. At UC Davis, I received extensive training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery from professor Leslie Bernstein M.D., an internationally renowned teacher of facial plastic surgery.
I have performed over 3,000 cosmetic surgeries of the face and neck; including cosmetic nasal surgery (rhinoplasty), facelift surgery (rhytidectomy), cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), lip augmentation, chin augmentation, cosmetic ear surgery (otoplasty) and browlift. I serve as a regional resource in reconstruction of the face, with specific expertise in rhinoplasty. Additionally, I have been trained for the somnoplasty procedure, the latest breakthrough for snoring disorders. I also performed over 1000 laser procedures of the face and neck.
I enjoy golf, fine dinning, and travel. I am an avid fan of the University of Southern California athletic program, especially its football team.
I graduated with honors from the University of Southern California School of Medicine in 1979. During medical school, I was selected to Alpha Omega Alpha (the national honor society for medical students). Subsequently, I completed my residency in otolaryngology/head and neck surgery at the University of California, Davis, where I served as a clinical instructor in head and neck surgery in 1984. I now serve as clinical attending faculty for the Oakland Kaiser head and neck surgery residency program.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
