Welcome to my home page!
Born in India, I have lived in the United States for 30+ years. I completed my education and medical training on the East Coast. Searching for warmer climate, my family and I moved to California almost ten years ago. I work 4 days per week with a modified day schedule (“school-hours”) so I can spend as much quality time as possible with my wonderful three children.
Prior to joining Kaiser Permanente, I worked in private practice in Baltimore, Maryland. I had a tremendous opportunity to refine my clinical skills and learn a great deal about cosmetic dermatology. I performed a variety of cosmetic procedures, participated in various studies, and developed new applications for lasers.
I joined Kaiser Permanente in 1998 and have always been at South Sacramento. I enjoy working here with a team of incredible physicians. I feel that my colleagues and I provide superior dermatological care, and I would not hesitate to recommend any one of them to a family member! As dermatologists, we truly are the specialists at treating our patients’ skin with the latest medical, surgical and cosmetic technology. I would recommend that anyone seeking reputable dermatology information start with the American Academy of Dermatology website.
I am a medical and surgical dermatologist. My interests include pediatric, surgical and cosmetic dermatology. I have 15 years of experience with numerous cosmetic procedures, including Botox, fillers (including collagen, restylane/perlane, juvederm, radiesse, artefill, and sculptra), sclerotherapy, and a variety of lasers. As a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, I enjoy keeping current on new therapies and advances in my field, as well as educating colleagues and patients.
I am the chief of the Cosmetic Dermatology division within our department at South Sacramento and Elk Grove facilities. For general information on botox and fillers prior to a cosmetic visit, use the links on the sidebar. You can find out more about our esthetician, laser and physician services at the Cosmetic Services website.
Finally, I would like to address the issue of general health, which includes sunscreen, smoking cessation and maintaining a healthy weight. We all need support and encouragement around us. And often, an exercise partner helps. I have an extremely busy schedule; however, I feel that exercise is a crucial part of my day and a great stress reliever.

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.
