I am pleased to offer my home page as a means to introduce myself and to provide you with high-quality health information through useful handouts and helpful web links.

I specialize in Emergency Medicine, so if I had the privilege to care for you or a loved one, it was likely during a difficult time. I sincerely hope you are feeling better.

We at the South Sacramento Medical Center Emergency Department strive to evaluate, treat, and educate you or your family member to the best of our ability--the same way we would want our family cared for. There is a sign directly in front of our Physician’s Desk that states “Our vision is to be the best Emergency Department in America.” We take that goal and our responsibility seriously.

I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2010 and am honored to practice among the physicians here in South Sacramento. Emergency visits are often stressful and it's my goal to treat each and every patient I care for with compassion. If you have any compliments, or constructive thoughts on how we might further improve, please don't hesitate to let us know.

A bit about me:

I am the oldest of six children and grew up in rural Northern California. Always fascinated by the mystery of life, whether on the farm or in science fiction movies, I studied Biology at Cal Poly, as well as Aerospace Engineering, Journalism and Modern Foreign Languages. Granted a scholarship for International Studies, I attended l’Universite d’Aix-en-Provence in the south of France, where I met my wife. We subsequently returned to California, where I worked for NASA while completing my studies in Medicine and performing residency at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. We have two wonderful children of our own, who rekindle daily my early intrigue with the beauty of life.

I feel fortunate to have a career in Emergency Medicine, a field as broad as my interests are diverse, and where I may continually learn and apply new skills to help others in need.

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.
