Welcome to My Home Page!
Medicine has always been a fascinating field for me. I grew up with family members who have been in healthcare, greatly affecting my choice to pursue a career in the medical field.
When I was young, my doctor relatives would bring me to the hospital on the weekends when they rounded with their patients. Those encounters were my first glimpse of what it is like to be a doctor. Growing up, I enjoyed science subjects, particularly Biology. When I went to college, I concentrated in Physiology. After graduating from college, I worked as a Cell and Molecular Biologist at UCSF. Although conducting scientific experiments was exciting, I knew that I would be happier working with people. I applied to medical school and got accepted at the University of California, Irvine. I completed my residency at this university as well.
After residency, I had wonderful experiences before working at Kaiser Permenente. I worked as a rural provider in the Central Valley, Urgent Care provider at Washington State, Detention Healthcare Provider for the County, and as a Staff Physician for a group in the Peninsula/Palo Alto/Stanford Area. I speak fluent Tagalog and medical Spanish. I am an active member of different medical societies, including AAFP, AMA, CAFP and IDSA.
I enjoy working with Kaiser Permanente because the group is able to offer many services, whether they are primary care or specialty care needs. Also because of the newly implemented electronic healthcare records, accessing medical information is so much easier, thus, facilitating better communication between patients and their physicians. From a personal level, I would like to offer my patients not only the knowledge and experience I have accumulated throughout the years but also the dedication and commitment each patient fully deserves in their pursuit of healthy living.
In my pastime, I try to enjoy the simplicity and tranquility of life. I enjoy reading and traveling. I enjoy exploring the local sceneries of the Bay Area and its surrounding environment. I am also very fortunate to have close relatives around me. I truly enjoy spending time with my brothers and sisters, and their kids.

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.
