About Me

My career in medicine began with a challenge. I was in high school with my eyes focused on becoming an aeronautical engineer, when my brother, who lived in the United States, challenged me. "You are smart but I don't think you can become a doctor." That was a defining moment in my life, and I determined then to become a physician.

My specialization in pathology and laboratory medicine began as a fluke. I was unexpectedly offered a residency position, and I took it. Now I think that has been one of the best things that happened to me. Being a pathologist, with regular hours and no weekend calls, leaves me enough time to spend with my family and play sports.

As a matter of philosophy, I firmly believe that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of healing. Thus, I am really proud of laying the foundation of the Fine Needle Aspiration Service at Vallejo. Please see the Fine needle aspiration cytology icon on my home page.

The advantage of working in Kaiser Permanente is that I don't have to worry about bills, payments, and insurance issues. Working with fellow physicians who have the same goal of providing excellent service to our patients becomes easy.

If I am not working you will find me either playing tennis, ping pong, or on the soccer fields coaching my daughter's soccer team.

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.
