About Me

Welcome to my Web page. I am happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice.

Biography

I have always been interested in medicine. During medical school, I really enjoyed being in the operating room. Having first been exposed to Kaiser permanente medicine during my surgical residency, I was fortunate to join the Department of General Surgery in San Diego.

About my practice

Medicine as a career is a very special opportunity to connect and help people in a meaningful way, utilizing medical skills and knowledge, but also listening and responding to what patients need. Being a doctor allows people to share with me their innermost secrets, fears, and hopes; it is a privilege to help patients understand what concerns them, translate what they may not grasp, facilitate getting them the appropriate evaluations, and communicate with them and their families. I feel very honored that patients have entrusted me with their care and strive to treat them as I would my own family.

How I thrive

Keeping balance in my life is very important to me. I enjoy playing golf and going for long walks with my wife and our two dogs.
