My Qualifications

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University in Chico, then moved to Colorado where I lived for ten years while doing Arctic and Alpine research; I received my Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I was on the faculty of UC Denver, where I did research on arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems, taught evolutionary biology, ecology and general biology. I returned to California where I attended medical school at the University of California, Davis. Following medical school, I completed an internship and a residency at the University of California Davis in OB/GYN. I joined The Permanente Medical Group in 1990. I serve on the Executive Board as Chair for the District IX office of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) for California. As a member of the legislative committee, I review all state health care policies for women. I serve on the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention Select Panel on Preconception Care. I am also the State Chair of the Preconception Health Council of California. This committee is a coalition of government and health care providers who have organized to improve pregnancy outcomes by emphasizing the need for healthy choices across the reproductive life span of women. I have received the Outstanding Service Award for ACOG and am a volunteer clinical faculty member for the University of California at Davis.

My Healthcare Practice

Obstetrics and gynecology allows for a diverse medical practice with outpatient care, surgery, and labor and delivery experience. That is why I chose Ob/Gyn and I have only questioned that decision at 3 in the morning when chaos strikes! My professional interests include menopausal health and preconception care. I am interested in emphasizing a healthy approach to life with exercise, healthy diet and preventive care. Besides English, I am fluent in Spanish.

My husband is a wildlife biologist, professional photographer, and software entrepreneur. My children are in their 20's and are busy pursuing their own careers. My husband and I like to travel, especially to bird watch and to see exotic places. We have enjoyed trips to Africa, Australia, South American and even lived on an island in the arctic. I love to garden. I have presented lectures for the Older Women’s League, Haddassa, Healthy Aging Summit and for the State Department of Health Resources.

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.
