Accepting new patients.
Welcome to my Web page. I'm happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I am an internal medicine physician and have practiced here for more than 10 years. I enjoy working at Kaiser Permanente because of my wonderful colleagues and patients, and look forward to working with you to care for your health.
I was born and raised in Iran. I moved to the United States when I was 16. I attended California State University Northridge and received my bachelor's degree in biology and my master's degree in environmental/ occupational safety. I then attended Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. I moved back to California and, after my internship and residency at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, I joined Kaiser Permanente.
I want to be your partner in health, and it helps me better care for you when you take an active part in staying well. The best ways to take care of yourself are healthy living and preventive care, but if you need my care, I'm here for you.
Keeping balance in my life is very important to me. I enjoy swimming and I make it a priority to set aside time to exercise at least three times a week.
