About Me

Thanks for looking at my website. I grew up in the Bay Area and, after living in New York City for a few years, am excited to be back and take advantage of all the great things it has to offer. Outside the office, you can find me hiking on Mt. Tam, running through various parts of San Francisco, playing tennis, skiing, or planning my next travel adventure, a definite passion of mine. I also spend my time relaxing with family and friends or catching any local ballgame. For better or worse, I’m a loyal Giants/Niners/Warriors fan, as well as Stanford, my alma mater, although not a popular choice in the East Bay, I realize.

Why Dermatology

I think the skin presents a fascinating window to the body as a whole. Our skin is always on display to the world, and when it is affected, one may feel a stigma or challenge to his or her self-esteem that can be very difficult. I appreciate that when a condition is on your own skin, nothing is a trivial matter. Systemic diseases may first present on the skin, and one’s emotional well-being may be reflected in the skin. I enjoy the variety of conditions and patients that walk into my office every day, from the youngest of children to the elderly and everyone in between. Although I take great satisfaction in treating diseases in Dermatology, it is the interactions with my patients and relationships that I am able to form that give me as much if not more enjoyment.

I feel very fortunate to be at Kaiser Oakland. Please explore the links on the page for helpful information regarding Dermatology and your office visits.

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.
