My Qualifications

I joined the Permanente Medical Group in 2001. I currently serve on the Risk Management Committee and am a Volunteer Clinical Faculty Member for U.C. Davis Surgical Residency.

My Healthcare Practice

I see myself as the patient’s partner. Together we can decide what is best for an individual patient. I chose this specific field of medicine because I like the combination of intellectual and physical challenges inherent in the specialty of surgery. Besides English I also speak marginal Spanish.

Receiving Your Healthcare From Kaiser Permanente

From the standpoint of a surgeon, one of Kaiser’s greatest strengths is the lack of financial pressure on clinical decision-making. Decisions to operate are based on the patient’s needs, not the surgeon’s.

My Outside Interests

I am married with children.

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.
