What is a head and neck surgeon, or otolaryngologist?
I joined Kaiser Permanente in 1995 and have Advanced Certification in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery. My specialties include: orbital, nasal, and maxillofacial surgery, as well as thyroid and parathyroid surgery. I function as a regional resource for the management of advanced tumors of the head and neck and provide the otolaryngologic approach for tumors at the skull base. Additionally, I am trained in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery and perform rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, and rhytidectomy. I have an interest in post-tumor facial reconstruction and facial reanimation surgery. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
The Head and Neck Surgery Department of Kaiser, South Sacramento, is an affiliated institution of the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine and its Otolaryngology Residency Program. I am actively involved in medical education and serve as the Director of the Otolaryngology Residency Journal Club. I have published several articles in national publications and serve as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of California School of Medicine.
Practice Philosophy/Approach
- Treat each patient as if they were one of my family members.
- Provide state-of-the-art treatment and care that is consistent with treatments offered at world renowned medical centers.
My Role as Physician-In-Chief
In April of 2005, I was appointed to the Physician-In-Chief position for the South Sacramento and Elk Grove Medical Facilities. I am very fortunate to be able to continue my head and neck surgical practice and I greatly enjoy my new administrative position as well. I provide leadership to our 325 physicians and more than 2000 nurses and staff who care for the 200,000 Kaiser Permanente members in the South Sacramento/Elk Grove area. I am confident that we will ensure your well-being and maintain your health. Your experience will demonstrate that the physician-led integrated medical delivery system of Kaiser Permanente, where physicians partner with a hospital and health plan organization, allows for superior quality of care and personalized service. When combined with the power of our advanced medical information technology systems, Kaiser Permanente will become a model for health care in our nation.

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.
