About Me

Hello! I often go by Dr. T, as my last name may be challenging to pronounce. I look forward to guiding you through your journey in neurosurgery.

 

Biography

 

I am a Southern California native. I went to UC Santa Barbara for undergrad, then USC for my master's degree in pathology. I then attended Virginia Commonwealth University for medical school, ultimately returning to Southern California for my neurosurgery residency at UCLA. Finally, I concluded my training with a fellowship in complex spine at the University of Miami. I have been with Kaiser Permanente in Fontana since 2010. I enjoy the beautiful Los Angeles weather with my family, including my young daughter.

 

About my practice

 

As a complex spine fellowship-trained neurosurgeon, I deal with the entire range of both cranial and spinal neurosurgery. My practice consists of approximately 80 percent spine, and 20 percent cranial neurosurgery. I love what I do, and always look forward to coming to work, as no 2 days are the same.

 

How I thrive

 

I consider myself athletic, and I really enjoy being outdoors, and working out, including running. I also love golf, and am very much into classic cars and Formula 1.
