Personal Information

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and then completed an undergraduate degree in general biology at the University of California San Diego. I subsequently received my doctorate in medicine from the University of California at Davis.

I then completed an internship in internal medicine in Portland, Oregon; before spending the next four years at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio for residency and fellowship training. I then returned to California and have been practicing general ophthalmology at South Sacramento Kaiser since January of 1999.

I have a interest in international work and teaching. I completed an entire year of undergraduate training at Georg-August University in Goettingen, West Germany, and speak fluent German. I also completed language training in Spanish during medical school in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and San Jose, Costa Rica; in addition to completing clinical rotations in Costa Rica and Berlin, Germany. Since completing my ophthalmology training I have also been on volunteer surgical trips to Honduras and Nicaragua. In December 2004, I went on a volunteer teaching and surgery trip to Nepal and The Phillipines.

I am an Assistant Clinical Professor of Internal Medicine at University of California at Davis; I coordinate the ophthalmology training program for the emergency medicine residents at UC Davis. I also lecture in ophthalmology on a continuing basis for the emergency medicine residency at UC Davis and numerous other medical departments in the area. I have also been a volunteer preceptor for Clinica Tepati, one of the UC Davis free clinics in the Sacramento area run by undergraduate and medical students.

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.
