About Me

I started my professional career with Kaiser and I am very glad to make this choice, as it gave me the freedom to use my knowledge and abilities in the best possible way to take care of patients and also to grow in the professional life. I have been actively involved with teaching and educational activities since the start of my job. I spent the first 2 years of my association at Kaiser Sacramento and served as director of HBS CME program and academic attending for the UC Davis residents.

I chose internal medicine as my specialty for several reasons, this is the only field where you work with the patients not for their hypertension or diabetes but for the overall well being of their health from screening for cancers to diagnosing one, from promoting healthy living style with exercise, proper rest and dietary habits to building one, from sharing the joys of building a healthy family to staying available for the sad moments of family member loss. I decided to choose the new but well recognized branch of internal medicine — hospitalist based physician. My job is to take care of hospitalized patients at all the floors of hospital starting from Emergency room to ICU.

My Recommendations

I believe in team work, with my patients, staff and colleagues. I strongly feel that patients should understand the disease to actively participate in the process of recovery and staying healthy.

It is true for many illnesses including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and even cancers. Daily exercise, healthy eating habits, no smoking and stress management can prevent many of these very common illnesess.

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.
