About me
I am a proud Los Angeles native, born and raised in South LA. It is a true privilege to serve my community as a sports medicine physician and as the Physician in Charge of the Kaiser Permanente Sports Medicine Center at Intuit Dome—just miles from where I grew up.
Biography
I earned my undergraduate degree in Integrative Biology, with a minor in African American Studies, from the University of California, Berkeley. Home called me back for medical school at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, and I continued my training with a residency at Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center. From there, I pursued fellowship training in sports medicine, specializing in helping active people stay healthy and perform at their best.
About my practice
I currently serve as the Physician in Charge of the Kaiser Permanente Sports Medicine Center at Intuit Dome, where I practice full-time sports medicine. As a former athlete and lifelong sports enthusiast, I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages and skill levels maintain peak performance, prevent injury, and recover safely and effectively.
I believe in caring for the whole person, not just the injury or condition, but also the family history, environment, culture, and long-term goals that shape overall health. My role is to provide clear, thoughtful guidance tailored to each person’s lifestyle and priorities, so they feel confident making decisions about their care. At its best, medicine is a partnership built on trust, understanding, and shared goals.
Whether working with competitive athletes or individuals striving to stay active, my mission is to help every patient move better, feel stronger, and live healthier.
How I thrive
Outside of medicine, I’m all about my two awesome kids, basketball, running, outdoor adventures, expanding my music collection, watching sports, and traveling the world or discovering the next great restaurant with my wife.
