Where I practice
About me
I am a board-certified medical oncologist practicing at Kaiser Permanente’s Panorama City Medical Center in the Hematology/Oncology Department. I’m proud to be part of a team where physicians, nurses, and specialists collaborate closely to provide high-quality, coordinated care. It is a privilege to care for you and your family, and I look forward to working together on your health journey.
Biography
I have always been drawn to the meaningful relationships that develop in caring for patients with cancer. As a hematologist/oncologist, I am dedicated to treating individuals with serious and complex medical conditions.
About my practice
My Cancer Subspecialty Focus
My clinical expertise includes gastrointestinal cancers, breast cancer, head and neck cancers, genitourinary cancers, skin cancers, lung cancer and thymoma, and thyroid and endocrine tumors, as well as complex and malignant hematologic conditions. I also provide care for benign hematologic disorders. As an active member of the multidisciplinary Tumor Board, I work with colleagues across specialties to develop and refine treatment strategies. I remain committed to staying current with rapidly evolving cancer therapies to ensure patients receive personalized care based on current evidence and research.
Regional Multidisciplinary Teams
I serve on regional multidisciplinary teams, where experts in medical oncology, hematology, radiation oncology, pathology, and other specialties collaborate to develop comprehensive treatment plans. My participation in these teams allows me to contribute to and learn from national best practices, ensuring that patients with malignant hematologic conditions receive advanced, effective treatments.
Research and Clinical Trials
I am an active member of several prestigious National Cancer Institute–supported oncology research networks, including:
• SWOG Cancer Research Network
• National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP)
• Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology
• NRG Oncology
As a sub-investigator on multiple clinical trials, I help bring innovative and promising treatments to patients in our community. My research also focuses on cancer survivorship — improving quality of life after treatment by addressing long-term health, reducing complications, and minimizing recurrence risk.
How I thrive
Outside of work, I embrace an active and balanced lifestyle. I follow a healthy diet and enjoy preparing healthy meals for my family. My 2 boys keep me busy and bring joy to my days. I love exploring the outdoors through hiking and maintaining my physical and mental well-being through regular yoga practice. These activities keep me grounded, energized, and ready to bring my best to my work.
