My Biography

I majored in mathematics and the physical sciences until graduate school, when I became interested in the functioning of the brain. This led me to a more general interest in physiology, and finally to a special interest in breathing: the mechanics of the lungs and the drive to breathe. It seemed a natural extension of this interest to enter the practice of anesthesiology.

My 12 years at San Francisco General Hospital were devoted to the training of new practitioners in our specialty, and to the care of trauma victims. In 2002 I transferred my practice to Kaiser Permanente. As I am a patient as well as a physician at Kaiser Permanente, I am dedicated to the emphasis our organization places on excellence of patient care and service.

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.
