About Me

I am a Hospital Based Specialist, caring for adults inpatients . I promote healthy lifestyles, recommend preventive health practices and diagnose acute and chronic medical conditions. I believe my patient is in charge of her/his own health and that I am their health care advisor, advocate and cheerleader!!

I did my internship/residency, chief residency and general medicine fellowship at Kaiser, Santa Clara. Following that, I worked as an assistant residency program director for 5 years and also as a Hospitalist prior to transferring to Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa in 1999.

Internal Medicine/Hospital Based Specialist. Currently I work only with hospitalized patients. I enjoy the challenges and opportunities that this type of medicine provides, as well as the collaborative approach that we take here at Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa.

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.
