My Specialty and Why I Chose It

I am a hospitalist. This means I take care of patients hospitalized for acute medical illnesses and health issues.

Why I Like Practicing Medicine at Kaiser Permanente

I appreciate working as a team within Kaiser Permanente and being able to access technology and sub-specialists in order to provide the best medical care to our patients.

My professional interests are pulmonary and critical care medicine and I am affiliated with the local and state medical societies.

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.
