About Me

I’m 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 surgeon, and I hope this page will help you get to know me and my background.

Biography

I am a rhinology and endoscopic skull base surgeon. I was born and raised in Southern California and attended medical school at USC’s Keck School of Medicine. During my time at USC, I also attained my MBA at the Marshall School of Business. Afterward, I completed my residency training in head and neck surgery at UC Irvine. To further pursue my interest in nasal, sinus, and skull base surgery, I completed a rhinology and skull base surgery fellowship at Kaiser Permanente in Orange County, and I am currently codirector of this rhinology and skull base surgery fellowship. I have special interest in the areas of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, skull base reconstruction, and office-based rhinologic procedures

About my practice

My practice is primarily dedicated to the medical and surgical management of nasal and sinus diseases. I perform primary and revision endoscopic sinus surgery, balloon sinuplasty, septoplasty, turbinate surgery, CSF leak repair, nasal tumor excision, and dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery. I also work in collaboration with other specialists, including neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists, for more complicated disease processes or tumors that involve the orbital and intracranial cavities.

How I thrive

I am very family oriented and love all sports.
