My Practice Philosophy

My health-related philosophy to my patients is “No news is good news”.

My Tenure With Kaiser Permanente

I have been with Kaiser Permanente since 1992. I practiced part-time with Oakland and Pleasanton Kaiser from 1994 to 1996. Since then, I have been with Sacramento Kaiser full-time except from 2000 to 2002 when I was at the Kaiser Permanente in Fremont. Over the years, I have come to appreciate the active pursuit of preventative medicine at Kaiser Permanente.

My Credentials

Medical school	Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, East Lansing, MI

Board certification	Internal Medicine, American Board of Internal Medicine

Why I Like to Practice Medicine at Kaiser Permanente

The main reasons I like to practice medicine at Kaiser Permanente are because it operates as an integrated system in which everything, including the specialists, are just a phone call away and also, because of the supportive multi-specialty and multi-disciplinary group setting.

My Professional Interests and Affiliations

I am a member of the local chapter of Greater Sacramento Osteopathic Medical Associations and I also regularly attended American Osteopathic Association meetings.

My Personal History

In my spare time, I enjoy cycling and working with computers.
