Greetings and welcome to my home page!

I have been a long term believer in the integrated medical delivery system Kaiser provides! I began my medical career as a registered nurse, working in the original Kaiser San Rafael ED. I went on to become a Family Nurse Practitioner and worked in private practice before attending medical school at UC San Francisco. I returned to the San Rafael Emergency Department after a residency in Emergency Medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in 1990 and consider Kaiser my ‘Home Base’. I am SR Kaiser’s liaison to the Emergency Medical Services Agency of Marin County. I have served as the Medical Director for San Rafael and Corte Madera Paramedic Programs since 1995 and enjoy assisting the paramedics bring quality care to the residents of Marin.

I was raised in Marin County and attended Sir Francis Drake High School and College of Marin before attending Sonoma State University and UCSF. My family roots, 5 brothers and sisters and extended family live in Marin. My daughter, Tiffany and co-equestrian addict is a college student at University of San Francisco. I spend most of my off hours riding and competing with my 17 hand horse, Hoppi, in the sport called ‘3 Day Eventing’ consisting of dressage and jumping. I am a gardening enthusiast, love to travel and study ancient civilizations. Each spring I travel with a volunteer medical mission group to deliver medical care in remote, underserved regions of Guatemala.

I believe in seat belts, helmets and protective gear for sport enthusiasts to avoid unnecessary injuries that might interrupt your life! I am always happy to help you and your loved ones if you become ill or injured while I am on duty in your ED at San Rafael!

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.
