About me

I am a native of Southern California, husband, and father of 2. I am passionate about delivering high-quality, personalized, and member-centered care. My family has had a lifelong experience with Kaiser Permanente as members, and I have come back to provide the compassionate, life-changing care my family received growing up. Returning home to practice has been a goal of mine after performing surgery across the world for years as a United States Naval officer, with a current clinical focus, serving on our Orange County Thyroid Surgery and Complex Neurosurgical Spinal Reconstruction Teams.

 

In addition to providing high-quality care for members and their families, I have additionally served as a head and neck trauma training officer for the Naval Special Warfare Command (Navy SEAL Teams), hold the rank of associate clinical professor for the UC Irvine School of Medicine, serve as faculty for AO craniomaxillofacial trauma, and have represented our specialty nationally with pride as a longtime member of the Board of Governors for the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation.

 

I was most recently a member of the medical groups at Naval Medical Center San Diego, USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) Hospital Ship, and Rady Children’s Specialists San Diego (Children’s Physicians Medical Group).

 

Biography

I earned a bachelor of science degree in neuroscience at UCLA, followed by graduating as medical school class president at the F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University. I went on to pursue a master of business administration (MBA) after completing surgical residency from Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, to improve my ability to lead and improve processes and quality of care within the hospital. I completed Navy active-duty service at the rank of commander (O-5), with career highlights including providing maxillofacial trauma care to veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, deploying on the USNS Mercy (T-AH-19) and performing side-by-side surgeries with host nation surgeons from Indonesia, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka. I was recognized in 2012 for a successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a civilian airline undergoing an emergency landing.

About my practice

I previously served as associate residency program director at Naval Medical Center San Diego and have presented more than 30 invited national and international presentations and published more than 20 manuscripts and book chapters, with current research focus in telemedicine during the COVID-19 response, emergency airway training, and opioid use in the head and neck cancer community.


I provide a wide range of care to members of all ages. For adults, this includes thyroidectomy for cancer and autoimmune toxic hyperfunction, salivary gland masses (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual), chronic nasal obstruction, and sinusitis. I also work closely with the Kaiser Permanente Complex Neurosurgical Spinal Reconstruction Team in Orange County. Further, my previous professional experience includes working in the Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology at Rady Children’s Hospital, and I have a passion for treating pediatric sleep apnea and chronic sinus/adenoid and ear infections, as well as congenital neck mass surgery.

How I thrive

Family is at the center of my life, and I treat members as if they were part of my family. I have created community and synergy in each place I have been, which has translated into higher-quality, safer care for patients and their families. I love to travel, and free time includes staying active with the kids — hiking, backyard BBQs, basketball, and snowboarding, to name a few. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your family’s care!
