I was born in Mumbai (Bombay), India and came to the United States for my undergraduate education. I first attended Fresno City College and then transferred to University of California, Irvine where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences. I continued my education at University of California Irvine College of Medicine and received my Medical Degree in 1989. During my years at University or California, Irvine, I received several honors including appointment to the Dean’s Honor list, the President’s Undergraduate Research Fellowship, and the University of California, Medicine residency, including a year serving as Chief Resident, at the Kaiser Santa Clara Medical Center. I am Board certified in Internal Medicine.

In 1993, I joined the Permanente Medical Group after completing my residency program. Since then I have also served in some administrative roles. Currently, I am a Director of The Permanente Medical Group in Oakland and have serve as the Chair of the Hospital Ethics Committee for the last 11 years. I continue my involvement in teaching our medical residents and Stanford medical students.

I have also been active outside of Kaiser Permanent and have been a past recipient of the Physician Community Service Award. I am a member of several professional societies including the American College of Physicians, the California Medical Association, the International Association of Bioethics, and the American Society of Bioethics, & Humanities and the Santa Clara County Medical Association. At this time I chair the Executive Committee. I continue to lecture on various ethics topics, including at the Stanford Health Policy Forum and the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. I have also served on the Voluntary Clinical Faculty of Stanford Medical School. Since 1990 I have also volunteered at the Julian Street Homeless Shelter.

I have one son, and in my spare time I enjoy reading, gardening, watching movies, playing tennis and racquetball. I speak two Indian languages, namely Marathi and Hindi. I want to be certain that all of your concerns are addressed. If you forget to ask a question during your visit, you can e-mail me through my webpage:

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.
