My Qualifications

When I attended college at the Universtiy of California, Berkeley, I became very interested in the health and injury prevention of workers. When I received my medical degree from the University of Southern California and completed my Internal Medicine residency with Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Los Angeles, I wanted to use this strong clinical foundation to further develop my interest in workers' health and safety. Therefore I pursued and completed my two year fellowship in Occupational Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. I joined the Permanente Medical Group in 1983 and currently serve as Chief of Occupational Medicine for the Capital Service Area which emcompasses the clinics in Folsom, Roseville and Sacramento. I was involved with the development of the occupational medicine program from its beginning. I am a member of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

My Healthcare Practice

As an occupational medicine physician, my goal is to thoroughly evaluate and treat each patient, always aiming toward returning patients to their maximum function. I also see toxicology patients on referral as I have always had an interest in chemical exposures and toxicology. I currently work Monday through Thursday at the Folsom Occupational Medicine Clinic and on Fridays at the Sacramento Occ Med Clinic.

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.
