About Me

Thank you for visiting my Web page. I am a podiatric physician and surgeon at the Kaiser Permanente Orange County Medical Center. My office is in the Tustin Ranch Medical Office Building.

Biography

I am a native of Orange County, having grown up a couple of miles from the old Lakeview hospital. I was able to witness first-hand the growth of the medical center, dating back to the Canyon hospital days. From my early years in medicine, I have envisioned myself working here. I received my bachelor's degree in biological sciences from UC Irvine and my medical degree from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco. I then completed a two-year residency program. The first year was in New England, specializing in podiatric orthopedics. The second year was in San Francisco, specializing in foot surgery. After completing my training, I returned to Southern California, where I was in private practice for six years before joining Kaiser Permanente.

About my practice

The focus of my practice is the surgical and medical treatment of the foot.

How I thrive

I thrive by trying to balance a busy practice with an active home life. I try to get a daily workout in, whether it is at our home gym or at the local fitness club.
