My Specialty and Why I Chose It

I am a pediatric neurologist. Pediatric neurologists take care of children with conditions that involve the brain, spinal cord, nerve, and muscle. My childhood best friend has cerebral palsy. His influences led me to where I am today. I love my job.

My Practice Philosophy

My goal is to treat every child as I would want my own children to be treated--with compassion, thoughtfulness, clear explanation, and careful testing that is evidence based.

My Tenure With Kaiser Permanente

I've been a part of Kaiser Permanente since 2007. I was attracted to Kaiser Permanente by my partner Dr. Richard Friederich, an excellent pediatric neurologist whom I have known since 1996. We share an evidence based approach and a similar set of values, beliefs, and practice styles. Kaiser Permanente promotes our team approach to optimize your child's care.

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.
