My Practice Philosophy

The practice of medicine is a privilege, a calling and an art. Caring for the suffering patient requires doctors exhibit a listening heart, an active mind, and caring hands.

About Me

I was born and raised in New York, NY. I received my BA in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997. I earned my Medical Degree at New York University School of Medicine in 2002. I completed my residency training at NYU Hospitals, Bellevue and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and then I completed a fellowship at Stanford University.

I am board certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care Medicine. I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2009.

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.
