Welcome to My Home Page

My colleagues and I have developed home pages to make it easier for you to interact with me and for me to take care of many of your healthcare needs. I'm eager to work with you to make your experience at Kaiser Permanente a positive one.

My Background

I grew up in Amador County California east of Sacramento and went to college at UC Davis where I majored in English. I worked for several years before going on to medical school at UC San Francisco. I did my internship at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland CA, and my medicine residency at Cambridge Health Alliance in Boston, MA. After finishing residency I stayed on at Cambridge Health Alliance as an attending physician for two years before returning to California in 2008.

On a Personal Note. . .

My hobby is playing a baritone ukulele.

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.
