My Biography

My connection with Kaiser Permanente began at birth—literally. I was born at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco and grew up as a member. After completing my education, I was very excited about the opportunity to return to San Francisco to work at Kaiser. Not only was I thrilled to return to the city that I love, but as a former Kaiser member, I had experienced first-hand the benefits of Kaiser’s comprehensive care model and I looked forward to being a part of that model as a physician.

I fell in love with the field of pathology during my third year of medical school, for both its challenge and breadth. Having seen a couple of loved ones receive their diagnoses and treatments, I am always keenly aware that a patient is awaiting the results of his/her recent biopsy or surgical procedure, and I approach each case with respect and care. Although I bring a wide spectrum of knowledge and preparation to my role here at Kaiser, areas of particular interest to me include gynecologic and urologic pathology.

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and I try to take advantage of the Bay Area’s outdoor opportunities as often as possible by hiking in Marin and the East Bay, cycling on the Peninsula, and walking through San Francisco. I also very much enjoy the terrific food the Bay Area offers, from fresh organic produce at farmers’ markets to fine restaurants.

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.
