About Me

Welcome to my Web page. As an anatomical/surgical pathologist, I’m essentially a consultant to your personal physicians, helping them determine the nature of your illnesses through tissue examination. I see members from “behind the scenes” — actually, from behind my microscope.

Biography

Although I grew up in small towns, I’ve lived in the Los Angeles area for most of my adult life, since I graduated from medical school at UCLA. I’ve been working at Kaiser Permanente’s Panorama City Medical Center since completing my training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

About my practice

There are pathologists and dermatopathologists on our team, all working together with our award-winning office and laboratory staff to bring you prompt and accurate diagnoses. We also consult with colleagues with specialty training throughout Kaiser Permanente and with academic specialists across the country when necessary.

How I thrive

The Kaiser Permanente message of treating the health of the mind, body, and spirit came at just the right time for me. I find my thrive balance by cycling. (100 miles? Just to end up back where you started? Are you crazy? Well, yes.) I encourage everyone who doesn’t have an activity yet to keep trying until one clicks with you. I’m proof that it can happen. Better late than never.
