DEAR PATIENTS:

Welcome to my Internet Home Page. This site is designed to provide you with information concerning the skin, hair and nails and to help you learn about common dermatologic disorders. There are a number of links to clinical information, as well as a link to the web sites of other members of our department

About Myself

I received my medical degree from University of Nebraska, Omaha, NE. I then finished an internship program at Presbyterian Denver Hospital, Denver, CO. I completed my residency and a fellowship at University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, CO.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. As a second generation native Californian, I have decided to make California my home.

I have a special interest in cosmetic dermatologic procedures which are provided at our clinic for a fee at the time of service. Click here to see information about our Cosmetic Services.

My personal interests include bowling, traveling, cooking and gardening.

Practice Philosophy

I believe in providing high quality of care for skin diseases.

The entire Dermatology Department and I want to be certain that all of your dermatologic concerns are addressed. If you are new to our department or have been seen by us before but now have a different problem, please see your primary care physician first for an evaluation. To schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, please call 476-2080. If you have been seen in the Department of Dermatology and now need a follow-up visit for the same problem or have a question about an office visit with us, please call 476-2166.

Disclaimer
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.
