About Me

Welcome to my Web page! While meeting your doctor face-to-face is important, I hope this page will help you learn more about me and what I enjoy about my medical practice. The more you can learn about your physician, the easier it will be to choose one.

Biography

I grew up in Northern California. I’ve wanted to be a doctor since I was 5 or 6 years old. I still have a drawing I did then. It says: “When I grow up I want to be a doctor and make people happy.” So I guess I was pre-med early on. And my handwriting hasn’t changed much. In addition to being a doctor, I’m a husband and father of 3 boys.

About my practice

I chose family medicine for many reasons. I really enjoy taking care of both kids and adults. I try to be the kind of doctor that I would want or that I’d trust with my family. I believe that quality care includes staying current with the science of medicine, but also with the art of dealing with each person as an individual. I really enjoy our new electronic health record system, as I believe it has made it easier for me to deliver high-quality medical care.

How I thrive

I make regular exercise a priority in my life. I recently started training in martial arts at a local studio. It’s not easy, but finding a balance between my professional, academic, and personal life is what, I think, makes me better at each. Spending time with my wife and boys brings me the greatest joy in life. We like to hike, play video games, camp, and exercise as a family. Pretty much anything we do together is time well spent.
