About Me

Welcome to my Web page. I am a board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist at Kaiser Permanente’s Riverside Medical Center, and I appreciate this opportunity to introduce myself and provide insight into my practice and expertise.

My practice is driven by a collaborative approach, combining medical oncology with surgical and radiation oncology to develop comprehensive treatment plans.

 

Biography

 

I was born in Taiwan, and my family moved to Los Angeles when I was 8 years old. I have family members here in the United States as well as back home in Taiwan. I try to go back once a year to visit my parents and relatives in Taiwan. I am married with a daughter, and my wife is a pharmacist. I choose the field of medical oncology and hematology because of the members I get to meet. You develop a close relationship with them, and they become not only members but your friends as well

How I thrive

 

Outside of my professional commitments, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and exploring different cultures. I am passionate about outdoor activities and engage in sports such as tennis, bicycling, and full-court basketball. These activities not only keep me active but also provide a great way to unwind and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Thank you for visiting my Web page. I look forward to the opportunity to support and care for members with dedication and expertise.
