Few Words about Myself:

I was born and raised in the Syrian coastline city of Tartous. I earned my medical school diploma from Damascus Univeristy and did my family medicine training at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I relocated to California in 2005. Outside of my profession, I enjoy outdoor activities such as tennis, running, hiking, biking, and skiing.

My Practice Philosophy

The care I provide in my clinic is comprehensive, personal, private and follows the nation's highest standards in evidence-based medicine.

Through my practice, you will always have access to me through clinic visits, phone or email. I will be your partner and advocate, helping you be in charge of making decisions about your health and wellness. I expect my patients to be actively involved in their own wellness by trying to live a low stress healthy lifestyle and quit smoking. I am also a Dermatology Fellow where I help my colleagues in the Adult Medicine Department diagnose and manage skin conditions.
