About Me

Thanks for visiting my Kaiser Permanente home page! As a nuclear medicine physician I spend much of my time looking at images and don’t often get to spend a lot of time with the patients whose studies I am reading. This page gives me the opportunity to introduce myself and tell you something about me

Education, Training and Work Experience

I grew up in Florida, where I completed college and medical school. I trained in radiology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and in nuclear medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. I have been in the Department of Nuclear Medicine here at Walnut Creek, practicing nuclear medicine full-time, since 2005.

Why Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine satisfies my interest in science and technology and allows me to apply my clinical knowledge in a way that impacts decisions regarding patient care. My particular interest in nuclear medicine is the imaging of cancer with Positron Emission Tomography (PET). I belong to the American College of Radiology and the Society of Nuclear Medicine

Why Kaiser Permanente

I initially chose to work for Kaiser Permanente because I truly believe it is the best model of health care. I had been exposed to many different health care systems during my training and feel that Kaiser Permanente is able to truly provide an integrated approach to healthcare, combining quality care, health education, and prevention services.

Personal Notes

Outside of the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family.

Disclaimer
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.
