About Me

Hello, and welcome to my Web page. I am glad to have the opportunity to present my credentials to you and share other information about myself. It's very important that you feel comfortable with your personal physician, and I hope this page will help you start to get to know me.

Biography

I'm from Alabama where my family still lives. After receiving my medical education from the University of Alabama, I completed my residency through UC San Francisco at San Francisco General Hospital.

About my practice

Medicine as a career creates a very special opportunity to connect and help people in a meaningful way. I do this by not only utilizing my medical skills and knowledge, but also listening and responding to what members need. It is a privilege to help members understand what concerns them, translate what they may not grasp, facilitate getting them the appropriate evaluations, and communicate with them and their families. I feel very honored that members have entrusted me with their care and I always strive to treat them as I would my own family.

How I thrive

I firmly believe in Kaiser Permanente's philosophy of total health, which includes health of body, mind, and spirit, and I try to live it in my life every day. My wife and children are the center of my life. I also enjoy pretending to know how to play golf.
