Introduction
Welcome!! Thank you for reading my biography. Although no one wishes to be in the ER, rest assure that I will provide the best care to you in our state-of-the art Emergency Department should you require our services. Despite our busy ER, I promise to dedicate my full attention to you and listen to your needs. I strongly believe in patient’s rights to a positive healthcare experience and I am an advocate of patient’s safety. In addition to my training in emergency medicine, I also specialize in Toxicology, a medical discipline that provides expertise treatment of poisonings and overdoses. Combining my practice in emergency medicine and Toxicology, I pledge to utilize the most up to date literature in your care and I strive to make your stay in our ER the best experience possible. I feel privileged to be part of Kaiser Permanente and I look forward to providing service to the surrounding community.
My Background
I grew up in San Jose and attended University of California, Santa Barbara. After working as a Research Scientist for a couple of years, I realized my passion was in medicine. I decided to stay close to home and attended an Osteopathic Medical School in San Francisco/Vallejo. I went on to Albert Einstein for my training in Emergency Medicine and ultimately back to UCSD Medical Center for my Toxicology Fellowship. Feeling home sick, I decided to return back to San Jose and worked at the Trauma Center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center prior to joining Kaiser Permanente. However, my passion to provide specialized care in both Emergency Medicine and Toxicology brought me to Kaiser San Jose.
My Interests
I enjoy spending time with my family and wife when I am not working. In our free time, we try to explore the city and partake in interesting festivities. Whenever possible, we also try to travel to new places whether near or afar. Since my wife and I both enjoy foods, we always look forward to trying unique but flavorful restaurants.
My Recommendations
Eat well, exercise often, keep up with the recommended annual health check-ups, and enjoy each day!

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.
