About me
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to serve the members of Kaiser Permanente in Southern California. I am a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and am double board certified in dermatology and Mohs surgery/facial reconstruction. My goal is to provide high-quality care to our members and to do so in a relaxed and professional environment.
Biography
I grew up in San Diego and spent a lot of time in the sun. I completed my undergraduate studies at Columbia University in New York City, where I majored in neuroscience and behavior. I completed medical school at Weill Cornell Medicine, also in New York City, where I discovered my passion for dermatology and working with diverse patients. My intern year brought me back to Southern California, where I completed an internal medicine intern year at UC Irvine. I went back to the East Coast to complete dermatology residency at Weill Cornell Medicine – New York Presbyterian Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. During this time, I became very interested in the surgical and nonsurgical approaches to skin cancer treatment. I completed an ACGME -accredited fellowship in Mohs surgery/dermatologic oncology/facial reconstruction at the University of Michigan, where I focused on the management of high-risk skin cancers. As a result of my training, I am a part of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Board of Dermatology, and the American College of Mohs Surgery.
About my practice
I understand that receiving the diagnosis of “cancer” can be very stressful for members and their loved ones. My goal is to take care of members in the same way as I would take care of my own family – with thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and compassion. Our Mohs team works together as a unit to achieve positive outcomes. We will guide you through the procedure and be with you throughout the healing process.
How I thrive
I love to stay active and have fun in the sun with my family. I try my best to stay photo-protected while hiking, running, biking, or swimming. I also love to cook and try new recipes with in-season produce. I do my best to support our local businesses by checking out (new to me) restaurants, and I am always happy to hear members’ recommendations on delicious places to eat and their favorite trails and beaches!
