Welcome To My Home Page!
I am pleased to offer this web site as a means to provide helpful medical information for my patients, as well as an opportunity for you to learn more about me. I hope that through this medium I will be able to better serve you with the most current information, useful handouts, and helpful web links.
I have worked as a family physician for more than 20 years in the US and in other countries. In the US, I have worked in several states before moving to California in 2002. I have had many wonderful experiences in diverse practice and teaching environments, that span such activities as having been on the teaching faculty of Harvard Medical School, to being a Family Medicine Residency Director in Northern New Mexico, to serving on the Board of Directors of the US office of Doctors Without Borders. I have also worked in several Community Health Centers, and Public Hospitals, and done research in Clinical Medical Ethics and primary care.
Over the last 20 years, I have also worked internationally with several organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, in Asia, Africa and Latin America. During 2005, I was fortunate to have been able to help organize Kaiser Permanente's Tsunami support projects and Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. I was able to travel to the country of Sri Lanka and work as a physician as a part of KP's international medical relief effort, and to work in Houston, Texas as a part of the KP Hurricane Katrina relief project. In recognition of my international work, I was honored to receive the 2005 International Humanitarian of the Year award from the Bay Area Red Cross, and the 2005 Citizen of the Year award from the Marin Medical Society. I have always believed in the concept of a world community and have enjoyed providing medical care in diverse settings.
I am proud to be a member of such a quality department and medical group here at Kaiser Permanente, and I hope that we can always provide high quality of care and service to you.
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome, and I look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.

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.
