About me
Hello, and welcome to my Web page! I am a board-certified anatomic and clinical pathologist at the Woodland Hills Medical Center and happy to be a part of your care team at Kaiser Permanente!
Biography
I graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s in biology from the American University of Beirut, followed by a PhD in molecular biophysics from Florida State University. Subsequently, I completed my medical degree at Tulane University in New Orleans. I grew up in Los Angeles, which is why I moved back there for my residency in anatomic and clinical pathology at UCLA Medical Center, followed by a 1-year fellowship in gastrointestinal/liver pathology. I was lucky enough to remain in Southern California and join Kaiser Permanente in the summer of 2021.
About my practice
The role that pathologists have within the multidisciplinary care team is special. We are relied upon for our expertise and knowledge on a daily basis. Although I am more behind the scenes, my role as a pathologist is to provide you with timely and accurate diagnoses so that you and your clinical team can make well-informed decisions about your care. I take a lot of pride knowing that getting you the most accurate diagnosis will have a significant impact on guiding you and your care team to the right treatment pathway tailored for you.
How I thrive
Keeping balance in my life is very important to me. I love living in Southern California because of the amazing weather and because there is so much to do. During my free time, I like to hike, play basketball, and scuba dive. I also enjoy watching movies, spending time with my family who live close by, and trying new restaurants.
