About me
Hello, and welcome! I’m an anesthesiologist who’s proud to work with a group of passionate and caring physicians at Kaiser Permanente. I’m pleased to share a bit about myself and help you feel as comfortable as possible during your health care experience.
Biography
I was born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, and had the privilege of completing my undergraduate and medical school training at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. I have a passion for medical research and fell in love with San Diego while working on projects here. I moved to the area full time to complete my anesthesiology residency at UC San Diego and am thrilled to continue to serve the community as a Kaiser Permanente physician.
About my practice
Having spent time on both coasts and in a wide range of medical facilities, I’ve had the chance to work with various populations and am sensitive to the rich diversity of member needs. I see the practice of anesthesia as both an art and a science. It’s not one-size-fits-all, and I strive to tailor every anesthetic to create an individualized approach for each member. I understand that going under anesthesia may be an intimidating experience, and I deeply respect the trust you place in me to care for you. Although our time together before surgery is brief, I make it a priority to alleviate stress, as I believe comfort and confidence in the process can have a far-reaching impact on your well-being.
How I thrive
In both my professional and personal life, I’ve learned to never underestimate the power of the human connection in maintaining wellness. I find joy in trying new things and sharing experiences with friends and family by taking advantage of all that San Diego has to offer. I spend my free time exploring the expansive restaurant scene, dancing to live music, and soaking up the sunshine at the beach and while exercising outside. Having an active lifestyle while also prioritizing time for rest and relaxation is crucial for me to stay refreshed and focused on delivering high-quality care.
