About Me

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been practicing at Kaiser Permanente since 1990.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR APPOINTMENT

• Unfortunately traffic and parking at the Oakland Facility is often difficult to contend with. Allow yourself extra time in order to park, locate the Optometry Department, and to register. Arriving on time ensures that we have the most time possible to address concerns you may have.

• Feel free to write down any questions that you have and bring your list with you to your visit. If you have a new problem with your eyes, consider writing down when the problem began, and any other information about the problem that you have noticed.

• Do bring any glasses that you currently utilize with you to your appointment. For contact lens wearers, bring your contact lenses, your contact lens case, your contact lens packaging (boxes), and solutions with you.

• If you have a special vision need that may require special glasses, make a note of what your need requires. For example, if you spend a lot of time at the computer, measure and jot down how far you sit from your screen, keyboard, printed reference material, or other objects at your desk. Musicians, artists, and tradespeople often require special glasses, and mentioning your needs at the beginning of your visit will be very helpful.

• Please refrain from wearing colognes, perfumes, or other strongly scented products to your appointment.

My educational background and board certification are as follows:

Undergraduate Education: BS in Physiological Optics, University of California, Berkeley
Optometric Education: University of California, Berkeley, School of Optometry

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. 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.
