About Me
I am originally from Long Island, New York. I attended high school there and went on to attend Hofstra University, where I received a BA in biology. From there, I entered the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. I attended medical school on a National Health Service Corp scholarship. Following medical school, I trained in internal medicine at St Mary's Hospital in San Francisco and in emergency medicine at Sparrow Hospital/Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. After several years of practicing with a private emergency medical group in Northern California, I joined Kaiser Permanente in 1990.
The reason I chose medicine as a career is the same reason why I am still thrilled to be practicing medicine today. I enjoy working with and taking care of patients as well as the challenge that medicine presents to me every day I practice. I also enjoy that medicine allows one to continue learning, constantly building your skills and testing your knowledge.
When I am not practicing medicine, I enjoy anything that involves the beautiful outdoors. I am a vegetarian and I have a special interest in disease prevention. Kaiser Permanente's focus on disease prevention integrates well with my own philosophy that disease prevention is the key to a healthy, productive life.

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.
