Biography

I have lived in Southern California since the age of two. My college years were spent at UCLA. After college, I spent four years in Chicago attending medical school and developing a better understanding of cold winters. In 1976 I returned to Southern California for my internship at UC Irvine Medical Center and then my urologic training for four years at the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. From 1981 to 1994 I worked in a private practice in Southern California. In 1994 I joined the staff at the Kaiser Permanente Woodland Hills Medical Center.
