Welcome to my practice…

Welcome and thank you for visiting me today. As a member of a five-physician team I treat patients with abnormal heart rhythms (so-called “cardiac arrhythmias”). As part of my practice I perform electrophysiology studies, catheter ablations, and implant devices for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including cardioverter-defibrillators and pacemakers. It is a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to the opportunity to address your heart rhythm problem.

My Background:

I joined the Permanente Medical Group in 1993 and I am also a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) at the Stanford University School of Medicine. In that role I teach aspiring Electrophysiologists the techniques and clinical skills necessary to become a certified Cardiac Electrophysiologist.

My Philosophy:

I view my patients as active decision-making people in their own health care. I view myself as a consultant specializing in the area of health and well being.

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.
