My Biography
I was born in Taiwan and brought to the United States by my parents at the age of one. I spent 18 wonderful years growing up in the Midwest in Ohio and Illinois. When the time came, however, to go to college, the East Coast was the region that appealed to me the most, so I chose to attend Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.
After graduating in 1990, I moved back to Illinois to start medical school at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. There, I discovered that internal medicine was medical area of interest that fit me best. Following medical school, I pursued an internal medicine residency at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan where I stayed an extra year to make a contribution to the residency program as Chief Resident.
My first inspiration to go into medicine was my father, a respected, dedicated, and skilled orthopedic surgeon. To be closer to my family, I moved to California in 1998 and joined Kaiser Permanente in August. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time gardening (orchids), scuba diving, playing the piano, opera, exploring California by land, air, and sea, and physician-patient communication consultant.

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.
