Biography

After growing up in the San Gabriel Valley, I attended and graduated from Columbia University in New York City, where I majored in neuroscience and behavior. During that time, I started getting involved in immunology and dermatology research at UCLA. I subsequently attended the University of Michigan Medical School (Go BLUE!) where I spent a research year studying the role of the immune system in psoriasis. I stayed at the University of Michigan for my dermatology residency, and after many years away from home, I returned home to Southern California where I joined Kaiser Permanente Woodland Hills Medical Center in 2017.

About my practice

My goal is to provide comprehensive dermatological care through a wide array of different services. My particular interests include skin cancer screening, acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and warts, among other skin conditions. Outside of the office, I enjoy participating in the improvement of health care information technology and medical student education.

How I thrive

I'm an avid supporter of my hometown Lakers, Michigan Wolverines, and now the Los Angeles Rams, so you may find me at any one of these games. I like to get my regular exercise by playing tennis and heading to the driving range.
