Hello, and thank you for taking the time to view my webpage. I am a neurologist, and my subspecialty is in the expanding field of Clinical Neurophysiology/ Intraoperative Monitoring (IOM). Please read on if you are interested in learning about my personal background and professional highlights.

I am a product of Orange County, growing up in Huntington Beach, California. I attended the University of California, Irvine, completing a B.S. in the Biological Sciences and a B.A. in History. I earned my M.D. from University of California, Los Angeles and loved the academic milieu and city life there so much that I stayed on for internship and neurology residency. I believe this was fate because at UCLA, I had the chance to work with Dr. Marc Nuwer, a neurologist, epileptologist, and renowned expert in O.R. monitoring.

Dr. Nuwer introduced me to the role of the IOM physician in mapping and monitoring patients’ motor and sensory pathways; speech centers; and cranial nerves that control facial movement, hearing, and swallowing. As a neurologist, I find my chosen subspecialty very exciting in that it allows me to participate in the primary prevention of strokes and other neurological complications related to surgery.

I moved to the Bay Area in 2007 to be with my boyfriend, now husband, and to hone my craft during my fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology/Intraoperative Monitoring at Stanford University.

In 2008, I joined the Kaiser Permanente Neuroscience Center at Redwood City. I feel ecstatic about my job; I work with neurosurgeons who are at the top of their field, deliver outstanding patient care, and are among the nicest people you will ever meet. The anesthesiologists and nurses I interact with daily are delightful. Within the Kaiser Permanente environment, I feel well-supported to pursue my goal of providing state-of-the –art neuromonitoring to complicated neurosurgical cases. It is immensely rewarding for me to see patients after their surgery walking, talking, smiling symmetrically, and without new impairments.

My professional memberships include the American Society of Neuromonitoring, Bay Area Neuromonitoring Group, and the American Academy of Neurology.

My other passions are tennis, water sports (especially sailing and surfing), cooking, reading at coffee shops, and watching my husband work on our house.

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.
