My Biography

One of the main reasons I wanted to work at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco was because the organization provides a larger opportunity for outside involvement in life activities. I had spent nine years in a trauma unit, with very little quality time that I could call my own, and I was searching for a different milieu. I have a good number of acquaintances in the Medicine and Administration departments, and I had always heard positive feedback about Kaiser Permanente. As a result, I had a high regard for the organization. Kaiser’s Radiology department is a highly respected one.

I enjoy interacting with such an involved, committed patient population. Patients arrive here with more knowledge than the average patient. Communication across specialties here is superb, and I find that it is easy to consult with colleagues. Colleagues are motivated to get patients what they need; I experience no gatekeeping practices here. People answer their pages and they respond to their voice mails.

My special interests are in interventional radiology, fibroid embolization, and abscess drainage management. I am also interested in the arterial vascular and dialysis population. I am involved with the UCSF residency program, where I lecture and teach.

I am an avid reader and belong to a reading group. I am active in the political arena with a group of women, which I find very fulfilling. I like walking and I have walked one complete marathon! My husband is a doctor here in the city, and I have one college-aged daughter and one high school-aged daughter.

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.
