My Qualifications

I have been a Neurologist with Kaiser Permanente since July, 1999 and prior to that I had been in practice in the Philadelphia area for two years. I chose to become a Kaiser Permanente Neurologist because I can focus 100% of my time on patient care without having to worry about obtaining permission or insurance approval to order a particular test or prescribe a particular medication or treatment modality. I work in a very collegial environment in which I can easily obtain expert opinions from both specialists in my group and specialists in other fields of medicine if the need arises.

I am an active member of the Sacramento Medical Society and the American Academy of Neurology.

My Credentials

Medical school	University of Rochester, School of Medicine & Dentistry, Rochester, NY
Residency	Hospital of The University of Pennsylvania C/o Univ of Pennsylvania Health System, Philadelphia, PA
Fellowship	Hospital of The University of Pennsylvania C/o Univ of Pennsylvania Health System, Philadelphia, PA
Board certification	Neurology, American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology

My Healthcare Practice

I’m a general neurologist and have a special interest in peripheral nervous system disorders. These include nerve and muscle problems, such as peripheral neuropathies, disorders which affect how nerves communicate with muscles, and muscle disorders themselves.

I chose to enter the field of Neurology because of the intellectual challenge required to diagnose and treat neurological disorders. In addition, because many neurological conditions are chronic, I have the opportunity to get to know not only the patient’s condition but also the patient him/herself as a unique person. Getting to know a patient over time affords me the opportunity to better individualize my care and hopefully make a positive difference in his/her life.

My Outside Interests

When I’m not practicing medicine, I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my wife and two sons.

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.
