Welcome to my Rheumatology Practice!
I have been practicing rheumatology with Kaiser Permanente, South Sacramento, since 1992. I completed my rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Davis Medical Center and remain on the clinical faculty there as an Associate Clinical Professor of Rheumatology. I work in this volunteer capacity about one month a year helping to train medical students and residents. Prior to my rheumatology training, I was an Internal Medicine specialist with the Indian Health Service in Oklahoma. I enjoyed working with the Choctaw and Cherokee Indians and saw a lot of rheumatic disease, which inspired me to get further training in my specialty.
I see patients upon the request of your primary care physician in order to help him or her in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as inflammatory arthritis, autoimmune disease and vasculitis. Following a visit, I send a report of my evaluation to your primary care physician, who will then follow up. In complex cases, I provide follow up in conjunction with the care your primary care physician provides. Together with our health educator, we offer classes to help you manage non-inflammatory conditions such as fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. I also offer soft tissue injections for conditions such as tendonitis upon the request of your primary care physician.
As a native Californian, I am happy to be living and working here after my many years in the midwest. My passions include my young adult children, skiing in the winter and horseback riding year round. I hope to do more traveling in the future.

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.
