About Me

Welcome to my Web page. I'm happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente because of my wonderful colleagues and members, and look forward to working with you to care for your health.

Biography

I was born at Kaiser Permanente in Walnut Creek. I started my career with a degree in physical education, with an emphasis in athletic training—all of which made for a good introduction to podiatric medicine. I find my medical practice, with its focus on foot and ankle problems, very fulfilling. I especially enjoy working with a large variety of member populations.

About my practice

I feel strongly that I have three responsibilities in helping you to improve your health—good diagnosis, treatment, and education.

How I thrive

I feel it’s better to use recreation to preserve health than to use medicines and treatments to try to regain health. My wife and I exercise regularly, though not quite every day. Our current passion is hiking. I really enjoy getting out in nature with the broad spectrum of Angelenos. With few exceptions, we also enjoy healthful food.
