I began my practice of anesthesia as a faculty member at the University of California, San Francisco, in 1992. As an educator, I had the opportunity to teach future doctors and anesthesiologists as well as broaden my personal horizons with other subspecialty work, such as cardiovascular anesthesia and critical care medicine. It also gave me the opportunity to integrate my internal medicine training with my anesthesiology career.

I came to Fresno in 1999, practicing anesthesia and cardiovascular anesthesia while continuing my association with the University of California, San Francisco Fresno Medical Education Program. I have had the pleasure to function in administrative and teaching roles during my time in Fresno. I joined the anesthesia team here at Kaiser Permanente Fresno in 2006.

I have had a varied and interesting career. I believe it gives me a broad perspective about the hospital, my patients, and the impact my specialty of anesthesia has on them. I believe that every one of my patients deserves to be treated the way I would want any of my closest family to be treated with respect,thoughtfulness, and most importantly, careful consideration of his or her medical condition.

When not at work I enjoy traveling, cooking, exercising, skiing, skating, and being involved with my daughters and all their many sports and school activities.

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.
