My Profession and Why I Chose It

I chose general surgery as a career because I particularly enjoy helping patients through acute medical issues. As a general surgeon, I am able to treat a wide variety of diseases, some benign and some more complex. I have a particular interest in breast cancer and devote about 50% of my practice to diagnosing and treating breast cancer surgically.

My Tenure with Kaiser Permanente

I have been in the Kaiser Permanente system for approximately 6 years, 2 as an attending surgeon. I enjoy working in this system as it allows me to focus on being a surgeon and caring for patients, without having to run the “business side” of a medical office. Furthermore, I am surrounded by excellent physicians of all specialties, as well as nurses and medical assistants. This association allows for top-notch patient care.

I completed my residency at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento.
