About Me

For information about my education, training, and credentials, please refer to the My Credentials section below.

My Healthcare Practice

I am a pathologist with additional fellowship training and certification in cytopathology. This means that I examine tissue specimens removed from patients with both my eye and my microscope. By studying a sample of tissue, I make a diagnosis. This pathologic evaluation is often an integral part of the diagnosis and treatment of patients. I decided to do this because I discovered in medical school that I enjoy looking at tissue under the microscope. I have an inclination for analytical thinking and feel fulfilled in using it to help treat patients.

Why I Choose Kaiser Permanente

I have been a part of Kaiser Permanente for over 10 years. Over that time I have come to appreciate the close cooperation I have with the Kaiser physicians. It is easy for me to call any of them and discuss my findings.

I enjoy my practice at Kaiser because I have the freedom to concentrate my practice on making diagnoses. I enjoy working with the other physicians at Kaiser and being part of a team. I am an active participant at tumor conferences, where decisions are made to determine the best treatment options for our patients.

My Outside Interests

I have a wife, Barbara, and two children, Michael and Eric. We are all native Californians. Before joining Kaiser, I served three years as a physician in the US Navy. Weight training, which complements my more cerebral profession, has been a long term hobby of mine. I have coached scholastic chess and have assisted in organization of local scholastic tournaments. My additional time is spent reading philosophy and literature.

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.
