About me

I was born in China and grew up in San Francisco. I attended college at the University of California at Berkeley and attended medical school at George Washington University in Washington D.C. I attended medical school on an army scholarship. So, after graduation it was off to the army. I completed my residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine in the army. Like many San Franciscans, I returned to the Bay Area after my obligation with the army was finished. I have been in practice at Kaiser Permanente in Walnut Creek since 1999. I am married and we have a young son who keeps my wife and I on our toes. In our off time, we enjoy traveling, movies, skiing, and any acitivity my son is into at the time.

Practice approach

In my practice I see patients with the entire range of respiratory diseases in addition to patients in the intensive care unit. My approach has been to have patients take an active role in their medical care after I have given them as much information as possible, along with my best advice. I have been very fortunate to work in a department that provides outstanding medical care. We have a great facility here at Walnut Creek with the best staff possible to provide the best care to our patients.

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.
