About me

Welcome! I’m pleased to welcome you to my Web page, and would like to share some information about myself so you can get to know me.

Biography

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. My father is a retired ophthalmologist who was a professor at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute for over 25 years. As a child and teenager, I often spent time in his office and was fascinated and impressed by his skills, and by how much he was able to help people. I knew from an early age that I would follow in his footsteps.

About my practice

I’m a general ophthalmologist who enjoys taking care of a wide range of eye problems. I’ve been practicing with Kaiser Permanente since 1998, and feel I can offer a very high level of care here. I especially value my colleagues in the Ophthalmology Department. Our group of physicians includes specialists in all areas of ophthalmology—including retina, glaucoma, cornea, pediatrics, oculoplastics, neuro-ophthalmology, and uveitis. I know that if I see a member with an urgent need for specialized ophthalmology care, my partners are just a phone call away.

How I thrive

As a doctor, wife, and mother of two active children, finding the right life-balance is important to me. I find exercise is key—it keeps you healthy in mind, body, and spirit. I walk almost every day before work, and workout at the gym on weekends. When I’m not at work, I enjoy volunteering at my children's school and participating in their activities.
