My Specialty and Why I Chose It

I am an emergency physician which means I deal with life threatening situations. I decided to do this because it is a lacking specialty in my home country and several people die due to lack of basic emergency intervention. My goal is to volunteer my time in introducing this specialty to my country.

My Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is you have to be in good health before trying to fix the health of others. Take good care of your health.

My Tenure With Kaiser Permanente

I joined the Kaiser Permanente family in 2009 as a physician. I worked at Kaiser Permanente as a phlebotomist in 1993 and I have since then appreciated the ease of having all facilities of care under one roof and the high standard that Kaiser Permanente maintains in the community. Lastly, Kaiser Permanente cares not only about their patients, but cares about their employees and these are the reasons I am working here.

On a Personal Note. . .

As a husband, father and sometimes a patient, I can definitely empathize with my patients.

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.
