About Me

Thank you for visiting my Web page. Although my hope is that you are never ill enough to have to visit me in the Emergency Department, if you do come in, expect to get the compassionate and comprehensive care you are used to receiving at Kaiser Permanente. As the chief of service of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center Downey Emergency Department, I expect nothing less than this from all the other emergency physicians and support staff.

Biography

I am a native Californian who enjoys the diversity of people found in Southern California. While attending medical school in Maryland, I developed a passion for emergency medicine and the variety of patients it allowed me to care for in a single day. I discovered that I can make a tremendous impact on the well-being of people when they are in the stressful situation of requiring emergency care.

About my practice

When you visit our Emergency Department, you will find health care providers who are truly dedicated to giving quality care and excellent service. Our department runs on all cylinders 24 hours a day so we can meet the needs of our patients when they need it most.

How I thrive

As a Kaiser Permanente physician, it is my duty to not only help my patients live well but to lead by example. I believe in maintaining a balanced work/life schedule, eating healthy foods, and exercising daily. My philosophy is to live life with no regrets and enjoy every minute you can. In my spare time, I enjoy being a father of three, playing sports, fitness, and traveling.
