About me
Welcome to my Web page. I hope that what I have provided here will help you understand who I am, where I came from, and why I chose to do what I do. I view my relationship with you, the member, as a partnership in which both parties contribute equal amounts to achieve the same desired goal — your improved health and well-being.
Biography
I was born in Newport Beach and moved to San Francisco at a young age. I received my education in the city until I left to attend UC San Diego, where I majored in biochemistry and cell biology. Following college, I moved to the East Coast, where I attended medical school at Boston University and had my orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Connecticut. I returned to California to complete a fellowship in hand and upper extremity surgery at UC Irvine. I am excited to be back in California with a renewed appreciation for the beautiful weather and the opportunity to live closer to family.
About my practice
As a hand and upper extremity surgeon, I focus my practice on ailments that predominantly affect the shoulder, elbow, and hand. I was drawn to this area of orthopedic surgery by the complex nature of the anatomy, mechanics, and problems that affect this area of the body. While it is rewarding to treat the wide variety of upper limb problems I see on a consistent basis, I find that the most gratifying aspect of what I do is improving the daily lives of the members I treat.
How I thrive
I wholeheartedly believe in health of the mind, body, and spirit. By focusing on one's combined emotional and physical well-being, I think we cannot only help to prevent future illness, but can also expedite the healing of existing ailments. Personally, I strive to accomplish this by eating right, staying active, and making the most of my time by participating in activities that provide me with a sense of personal accomplishment and happiness.
