About Me

I feel very fortunate to be a Kaiser physician. I should tell you that at the age of 18, I was hit by a car while on my bike, and whisked to a Kaiser ER for care. I still vividly remember the excellent care I received that day. I also feel fortunate to live and work in the Bay Area: I was raised in the East Bay, and returned after stops in Los Angeles, Tampa and Vermont/Maine for my education.

I am board-certified in radiation oncology and am happy to discuss clinical trials that Kaiser Permanente is currently enrolling patients.

Radiation oncology was fascinating to me as a student: patients of both genders; young and old; and treatments from head to toe. I very much enjoy working with patients and getting to know them through the course of treatment, and radiation therapy allows for these types of interactions.

I am a member of ASTRO, the national radiation oncology association.

Current projects or research:

I have published papers and abstracts on prostate cancer, anal cancer, endometrial cancer and vulvar cancer.

Family and Friends:

I grew up in the East Bay and my mother still lives in the house I was raised in. My sister is an attorney and lives in the South Bay. I am recently married (November 2009). My wife is originally from Lompoc, CA (near Santa Barbara).

Hobbies or interests:

Cycling, cooking, hiking, travelling.

I own both a road bike and mountain bike, and I love being outdoors on either bike. I spent a month in Costa Rica as a medical student, studying Spanish and exploring the country.

My three favorites cities in the world are New York City (for its fast-pace and food), Montreal (for its charm and, at times, the dollar conversion rate) and Florence, Italy (for its beautiful museums and wonderful walks).

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.
