My Biography

Welcome

I was born in a small town in Poland and came to the U.S. when I was 14 years old. I graduated from the University of California at San Diego with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry. In 1993, I earned my Medical Degree from University of California at Davis where I also completed my Anaesthesia residency. I then continued my medical training with a fellowship in Cardiac Anaesthesia at Stanford University. I have a strong interest in trans-esophageal echocardiography.

I joined The Permanente Medical Group in 1999 and since then have been an active member of the Cardiac Surgery Group. Kaiser Permanente provides an environment supportive of the highest quality of patient care as well as professional development. I truly enjoy my group practice with eight other board certified Cardiac Anaesthesiologist.

I am married with one child. In my free time, I enjoy running, hiking, reading and traveling.

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.
