About Me

Welcome to my Web page.

Biography

I was born in Pampanga, a province of the Philippines. I've lived in Los Angeles since the age of 7. I was fortunate to have received an outstanding education. I attended Marshall High School in Los Feliz, earned a bachelor's degree at UCLA, and received my medical doctor's degree at UC Irvine. I love to spend time and grow with my remarkable wife and three fantastic children. If I have the privilege to become your family physician, I hope to get to know the person you are and help you become the healthiest you can be. Thank you for choosing Kaiser Permanente and taking the time to learn more about me.

About my practice

I will treat you like I would any of my family. I will be honest with you. I will treat you to the best of my ability with dignity and compassion. I work at our Montebello Town Center Medical Office Building with many talented and dedicated physicians and staff. We work very hard not only to address the reason for your visit, but also to identify other needed care that you may not know you need. Do you need a mammogram? Do you need a life-defending immunization? Do you need a colon health screening? Do you need other health testing? We can tell you and order it on the same day.

How I thrive

I like the feeling I have after a good run or swim. I like the feeling of making good decisions-for example, take the stairs rather than the escalator or elevator. Eat more brown rice than white rice. Walk rather than ride. Laugh rather than yell. I like the feeling of spending quality time with my family and with myself.
