I was born at the Oakland Kaiser medical center, and raised in Maryland. My medical training was at the University of Rochester NY. My residency in Internal Medicine was at Mt Zion Hospital in San Francisco, my Rheumatology training was at UCSF/VA in San Francisco. I am board certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. I was in private practice in San Francisco from 1982 till 1990. I've worked for Kaiser Permanente at the Fremont Medical Center since 1990.

I am a fellow of the American College of Rheumatology, and a committee co chair at HL7.org, the standards organization for electronic healthcare systems.

I also do consulting work in healthcare informatics for various software companies.

My practice at Kaiser is in Rheumatology by referal from primary care providers.

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.
