Accepting new patients. Please call 1-888-956-1616.
Welcome to my Web page. I hope this page will give you helpful information about me and my practice. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente and look forward to working with you to address your health concerns.
I was born in Iran and moved to Spain at a very young age, where I received my middle school and high school education. I received my undergraduate and medical training at the University of Florida, and then went on to Loma Linda University Medical Center for postgraduate studies. I was named most outstanding medical resident by my peers and received special recognition for my research activities.
Medicine as a career is a very special opportunity to connect and help people in a meaningful way, utilizing medical skills and knowledge, but also listening and responding to what patients need. Being a doctor allows people to share with me their innermost secrets, fears, and hopes. It is a privilege to help patients understand what concerns them, translate what they may not grasp, facilitate getting them the appropriate evaluations, and communicate with them and their families. I feel very honored that patients have entrusted me with their care and strive to treat them as I would my own family.
Keeping balance in my life is very important to me. I try to spend the maximum amount of my free time with my family and be in outdoor.
