Accepting new patients. Referral may be required.
Welcome to my page. I'm an internal medicine physician specializing in members who are admitted to the hospital at Kaiser Permanente.
I grew up in the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam, spent my teenage years in the Pacific Northwest and the Emerald City of Seattle, where I began my undergraduate studies at the University of Washington. In the subsequent years, additional studies have given me an opportunity to experience life in places like bustling New York, colonial Connecticut, mountainous Montana, and the island of Grenada. However, I feel most at home on the West Coast, so I relocated to California, where I practiced in Palm Springs before moving to Orange County to join the Southern California Permanente Medical Group.
I'm very fortunate to be working with a group of dedicated physicians and staff here at Kaiser Permanente. While realizing the limitations of medicine in curing diseases, we strive to provide you with a supportive environment for healing, using available modern therapy and encouraging patient education in health and prevention for longer lasting positive outcomes. I enjoy working with diverse ethnic backgrounds, and I'm fluent in Vietnamese with moderate fluency in Spanish.
In my spare time, I practice yoga several times a week, and I find that listening/engaging in music on a regular basis not only relaxes but also empowers personal expression. Additionally, I treasure the privilege to travel and experience world cultures.
