About Me

Welcome to my Web page. I have been practicing gastroenterology and hepatology (the specialty that deals with liver disease) in Orange County since 1983. I am the division lead for the gastroenterology unit, which includes 15 staff gastroenterologists and 4 nurse practitioners.

Biography

I was born in Chicago and moved to Los Angeles when I was 10. I am a true blue UCLA Bruin, although I attended medical school at Northwestern University. I entered medicine for many reasons, but I am sustained by the rich experience of caring for patients with a broad range of problems.

About my practice

My practice is located at our Kraemer Medical Offices Building One. I work collaboratively with our staff and care for the full spectrum of gastroenterology patients. I have a special interest in colon cancer screening, biliary tract disease, and liver disease.

How I thrive

I have an active lifestyle that includes competing in marathons and triathlons. I am committed to personal health and often spend time advising my patients on diet and exercise. I spend my leisure time traveling and I enjoy photography.
