My Biography
I enjoy working at Kaiser Permanente because of the diversity of families I get to see in my practice. Additionally, I like Kaiser’s focus on prevention and wellness. I came to know San Francisco as an undergraduate student.
I love working with families and watching children grow over time. Now that I have two young children of my own, I have a better appreciation of the challenges involved in, for example, teaching a baby to sleep through the night! Patients make their appointments with me, so if I am on the premises, patients are assured of seeing me. I am particularly committed to immunizations; specifically, in encouraging families to be receptive to receiving vaccines during urgent care visits. I have an interest in child advocacy. As part of this volunteer work, I visit and write to legislators to promote policy that will advance the health of children and adolescents at the state and local levels.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband is a Kaiser Foundation Hospital San Francisco general surgeon, and our children provide us with much laughter. I enjoy hiking, bicycling, and downhill skiing. On the weekends you might catch me at a Cal Golden Bears sporting event. I love to read fiction and I encourage my patients' parents to share books together. Reading is one of the most important ways to enhance speech and language development.
I take care of myself by making healthy food choices, including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and trying to get enough rest. At my house, we endeavor to have sit-down family dinners. I look forward to sharing in the care of you and your family. Be Healthy and Thrive!

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.
