About Me

Thanks for visiting my home page.  Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I joined the Internal Medicine staff in 1994, after completing my residency in the Oakland facility.  I was pretty familiar with the medical center; I’ve been a Kaiser member since my family moved from Detroit to Oakland in 1956.  (My younger sister was born at Kaiser Oakland in 1957.)  I’ve lived within a short walk or bike ride to a Kaiser Medical Center most of my life, and still commute to work by bicycle on most days. 

After completing my undergraduate degree at the University of California at Berkeley, I moved to New York City where I attended the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.  In my exam rooms you might notice several old maps and photographs of New York City, attesting to my on-going connection to that city.  I try to visit New York at least once a year. 

My approach to the doctor-patient relationship follows a few simple principles – mutual respect, open and effective communication, and a common goal – your best possible health.  I apply these principles to my general medical practice, and as one of the staff in our HIV specialty 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.
