About me
I am a board-certified general surgeon. I was originally born in Reykjavik, Iceland, and immigrated to the US as a baby. My surgical training began at Cornell University in New York, and I completed residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, also in New York. I then moved on to a 1-year fellowship in advanced gastrointestinal (GI) and minimally invasive surgery at Emory University’s prestigious Emory Endosurgery Unit, one of the first established minimally invasive surgery programs in the country. I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2017.
Biography
I grew up all over the country including Albany, New York, and Denver before settling in Carmel, California. I knew I wanted to be a doctor from a very young age after witnessing the amazing care performed on my brother when he was very young. My family grew up idolizing the surgeon who carefully performed the complex surgery.
About my practice
I am a general surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive techniques for treating diseases of the GI tract and hernias. These include everything from the gall bladder, colon, stomach, spleen, and appendix to more complex swallowing and reflux disorders. I also perform hernia surgery including complex abdominal wall reconstructions for people with giant hernias or failed prior hernia repairs. Over 95 percent of these surgeries are performed laparoscopically with small incisions, minimizing postoperative pain and shortening recoveries.
How I thrive
I care deeply about members and take pride in being accessible to help address their concerns. I believe the initial encounter with members is often a point of vulnerability, and I take care to provide reassurance, education, and confidence as we attack the problems together.
