My Biography

This page contains information about my background in Diagnostic Radiology, along with additional resources to provide answers about services provided by the Radiology Department.

I have been at the Redwood City facility for 16 years. I have been board certified in Diagnostic Radiology since 1985, and have subspecialty training in body imaging (CT and Ultrasound). I went into Radiology because it offers a wide variety of different kinds of professional interactions, multiple different procedures, and involvement in the care of patients with many different illnesses. I enjoy practicing medicine in a system where Radiologists have a central role in decisions regarding which diagnostic imaging examinations are appropriate for a given set of clinical parameters.

I am a member of the Radiological Society of North American, the California Medical Association, and the San Mateo County Medical Association. In my spare time I enjoy music and movies.

At the bottom of the "Learn More About Radiology" page there is a link to the patient information web site of the Radiologic Society of North America.

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.
