Welcome to the Sacramento Medical Center Neuro-Oncology webpage!

I hope that you find useful the educational materials and website links to resources for Neuro-Oncology patients and families found here.

I specialize in the medical management of nervous system cancer. I work in close collaboration with neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists and other care providers who are involved in the treatment of cancer in order to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to the care of patients. It is my job to put together the knowledge and expertise of all these specialists to provide the best possible outcome for my patients.

I am originally from the Philippines but moved to the United States at the start of my specialty training in 1997. I started my post-graduate medical training in New York to do a medical internship at the Montefiore Medical Center. I moved to Dallas to specialize in Neurology at the University of Texas Southwetern Medical Center. I eventually worked my way back to New York City, where I did my Fellowship in Neurologic Oncology at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. After completion of training, I spent a few years in private practice and later on became an Assistant Professor of Neurology and Medicine (Hematology/Oncology) at the Dartmouth Medical School. I joined Kaiser-Permanente in 2011 and am very happy to be living in Northern California.

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.
