Welcome to my Home Page...

When I was a medical student, I had great mentors and role models in surgery. Specifically, I was under the tutelage of a surgical oncologist whom I greatly admired. This experience prompted me to pursue training in general surgery and subsequently specialize in surgical oncology. Currently I participate in the Society of Surgical Oncology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Society of Breast Diseases, American Society of Breast Surgeons, and American College of Surgeons.

Being a Kaiser physician, I can provide great care under one roof in an unfragmented system with other top notch colleagues. In my department, we share very similar philosophies with the goal of helping the patient to reach their potential well-being.

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.
