Hello and welcome to my website. I hope to give you some information about my specialty, myself (what I look like!), and why I chose to work at Kaiser Permanente.

About Maxillofacial Surgery:

Maxillofacial Surgery is a recognized specialty encompassing the surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and deformities which involve the function and esthetic aspects of the head, face, mouth, teeth, gums, jaws and neck. At Kaiser Permanente Oakland our division falls under the Head and Neck Surgery department. For more information about my specialty please visit the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons website.

About Me

I was born in Pennsylvania, and lived my childhood in the Middle East. However, I've called Northern California my home for most of my adult life. Last year, my family and I moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada for a year-long fellowship. It was a great change of weather and great experience both professionally and for us as a family, but we are all glad to be back in the bay area.

In my free time, I love spending time with my wife and 3 kids. I also like hiking, fishing, and landscape photography.

Why Kaiser Oakland

Working at Kaiser Permanente allows me to focus on caring for my patients and not be distracted by the business aspect of running a private practice. We have an outstanding non-competitive peer environment and my two partners are the best that one could ask for. The Oakland Medical Center serves as a regional center for many of the surgical specialties and there is a wealth of knowledge and talent here. Interaction with Head and Neck Surgery, Plastic Surgery, General Surgery, Anesthesia, Genetics and many of the other specialties of medicine is always readily accessible. Colleagues are always willing to share their knowledge and help with their surgical expertise when asked. You have made a great choice by selecting Kaiser Permanente as it stands to be a great model for reforming our health care system.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me.

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.
