My Qualifications

I am currently Chairman of the Quality Assurance Committee at the Cosmetic Center. I oversee issues regarding protocols for enhancement of patient safety and outcome. Additionally, I am the Plastic Surgery representative for credentialing at the Greater Sacramento Surgery Center. I am originally a native of Connecticut, and joined the Kaiser faculty after completion of my plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. I also completed fellowship training in hand and microsurgery from the nationally and internationally recognized Christine M. Kleinert Institute in Louisville, Kentucky. Prior to my plastic surgery residency, I did maxillofacial and general surgery training at the University of Nebraska Medical Center where I also graduated from medical school with honors. Before this, I spent time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where I received a doctorate in dental medicine from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelors degree from Temple University. I joined The Permanente Medical Group in 2001.

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.
