My Biography
Joined Kaiser Permanente: 2003
I joined Kaiser Permanente after more than 10 years in private practice, to join a team with a real focus on quality patient care. Kidney disease is increasing in the U.S. Slowly and quietly the disease will progress, damage tissues and if unchecked, the failing kidney will change life dramatically. Unless something changes, this will happen to so many of us. I believe that the solution to this problem is to try to prevent kidney injury, discover problems early, fix the things we can and then protect the kidneys from damage. This is the right time and place to make this happen.
Patients I see often come thinking all is over and the kidney is dead. For most, there is hope. Changes in medicines, diet and behaviors can often slow the process and protect the kidneys. Doing this will also improve health and help control blood pressure and sugars. I will work with every patient to try to make this happen. And I expect my patients to learn and try. We will work together. Our goal is to make every life worth living.
This is my life’s work. I love to teach and working with patients has been a joy.
In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, needlework and spending time with friends and family. Taking walks and using the treadmill lets me eat an occasional donut and helps to keep me fit.

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.
