My Biography

Joined Kaiser Permanente Medical Group: 2000

In my practice, I really enjoy taking care of patients in the way I would like to be treated. I try to communicate with patients so they have good comprehension of their illness and treatment plan. I also try to be approachable and accessible so as to provide the best care possible. In addition, I enjoy the challenges of working in the Intensive Care Unit because it allows me to put to use all my knowledge and skills in a critical situation and make a difference. As for practicing at Kaiser, I appreciate the comradery and teamwork that goes into our excellent patient care.

As a Pulmonologist, I take appointments by referral only. If you do not yet have a referral, please call our appointment/advice line at (650) 742-2100 to make an appointment with a general practitioner. Once you have a referral, to make an appointment in our sub-specialty department, please call (650) 742-2230.

Our goal at Kaiser Permanente is to be your health plan of choice and deliver the quality medical care our members deserve. Thank you again for choosing Kaiser Permanente.

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.
