About Me

I must have one of the most unique and fun jobs at Kaiser because I rotate among 3 Kaiser facilities — Oakland (seeing patients in Genetics), San Jose (co-directing the TPMG Regional Genetics Laboratory), and San Francisco (Santa Rosa Genetics satellite clinic one day a month). I also am an associate clinical professor at UCSF, where I attend the Genetics clinic once a month on a voluntary basis.

My background is a Ph.D. in Genetics while I was in medical school, a residency in Pediatrics, followed by a fellowship in Genetics. Kaiser Permanente gives me the opportunity to combine my love for both clinical care with laboratory sciences. My special interests include management of children and adults with Down syndrome, skeletal dysplasias, lipid disorders, cancer genetics and craniofacial anomalies. I look forward to coming to work because my patients give me great inspiration and strength, and I have such well-rounded, knowledgeable colleagues and support staff to work with. In addition, I think that Genetics is a wonderful area of medicine because of the fast-paced advances and many future applications. Practicing within the Kaiser Permanente system offers many advantages, especially because of the preventative approach and philosophy.

I have four young children who keep me current in pediatrics. My oldest son is adopted from Korea. He is followed by my daughter and fraternal twin boys. My husband of 13 years is an adult psychiatrist. I like to play my grand piano, cook international foods, bike, and hike.

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.
