About Me

I am a native Sacramentan. After attending local schools, I continued my education at the University of California, Berkeley, where I received my Doctor of Optometry (O.D.) degree in June 1978. After graduation I enjoyed different modes of optometry, including teaching, practicing at a university health clinic, and working in both private and commercial practices. I joined Kaiser Permanente in 1980.

My Healthcare Practice

What I like best about practicing optometry is the opportunity it gives me to work one-to-one with patients and address their visual needs and concerns on a personal level. My goal is to treat patients just as I would want to be treated if I were the patient. At Kaiser Permanente, I appreciate being able to work closely with fellow colleagues and ophthalmologists.
