About Me

Thank you for visiting my Web page.

Biography

I was born and raised in Pasadena, California. I attended the Pasadena Alternative School, and graduated from John Muir High School I earned a degree in biology at UCLA, and then attended medical school at Howard University in Washington, D.C. I was very fortunate to do my residency at UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica. After my training, I worked for five years at a community health center near Visalia, California, providing care primarily for migrant farm workers. I returned to Pasadena to teach at the USC Family Medicine Residency. Since starting my practice at Kaiser Permanente, I have been thriving. The main difference is less stress, more exercise, and eating healthier food. I enjoy all sports.

About my practice

I started my family medicine practice at Kaiser Permanente Glendale in 2006. I like to practice full-scope family medicine. I see infants, children, teens, adults, and seniors. I put a lot of effort into providing preventive care that is based on the latest research. I enjoy the small-practice feeling here at the Glendale office. We use a team approach to provide patients excellent quality healthcare.

How I thrive

I like running at the Rose Bowl, and play softball every Tuesday night. I also love to work crossword and Sudoku puzzles. My wife is a pediatrician in private practice in San Marino. We have two children. We enjoy going out for walks as a family.
