Hi, and welcome to my website.

I am a Pediatric Dermatologist based at the Oakland Medical Center. I was raised in Dallas, Texas and went to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

My first residency was in Pediatrics at Oakland Children’s Hospital. It was during this residency that I developed a strong interest in the diagnosis and treatment of the many dermatologic conditions encountered in children. Following my Pediatric residency, I worked in the Melanoma Clinic at UCSF and then completed a Dermatology Residency at the University of California in San Francisco. I am trained in General Dermatology but have an expertise in Pediatric Dermatology. One of my special interests is vascular birthmarks - infantile hemangiomas and congenital vascular malformations. I perform Laser treatments on some of these lesions in the office and operating room at Fremont Kaiser.

I have been working at Kaiser since 1994. My clinic is in the Fabiola Building, where I see adults and children. However, once a week, I have a Dermatology clinic in the Pediatric Department in the Mosswood building. I am board certified in both Pediatrics and Dermatology. I am also associated with the Dermatology Department at UCSF. Occasionally I teach the Dermatology residents in the Pediatric Dermatology Clinic of San Francisco General Hospital.

My husband and I have three energetic children which keep us quite busy. Much of my free time is spent at my children’s music lessons, sports practices, or at their schools. My hobbies and interests include gardening, sewing, music, and being a Girl Scout leader.

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.
