About Me

Welcome to my Web Page. I'm happy to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you. It is a pleasure to work at Kaiser Permanente with such wonderful patients and colleagues. I look forward to being part of your team of health care providers.

Biography

I was born and raised in Southern California, and had the opportunity to live in Mexico for five years as a child. My parents instilled a strong appreciation for education and encouraged me to take advantage of the opportunities available to me. I became interested in medicine after a sudden death in the family, which made me feel that I needed to be more informed about health issues within my family and community. I value spending time with my family and friends. During my free time I enjoy reading Spanish literature.

About my practice

I have the privilege of helping patients preserve their vision. I encourage prevention and help treat vision loss. I strongly believe in working with my patients as a team. It is important to me that my patients understand their eye disease and the different ways that I can help them in their treatment.

How I thrive

I thrive and stay well by being close to the people I love. Also, physical activity in the form of dance classes helps me stay healthy and energetic.
