About me
Welcome to my Web page. I'm happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about me and my philosophy as a physician at Kaiser Permanente. I am a family medicine and sports medicine physician. I feel fortunate to be able to work at Kaiser Permanente and provide high-quality care to our members.
Biography
I was born and raised in Bakersfield, California, and attended college at UC Davis and medical school in the Los Angeles area. After medical school, I returned to Bakersfield to complete a residency in family medicine and practiced in the area for 9 years, 6 of which were with Kaiser Permanente. In 2016, my family and I left for North Carolina, where I completed a fellowship in primary care sports medicine. During our 5-year stay in North Carolina, I cared for Division 1 collegiate athletes, instructed medical students, and was the program director of a family medicine residency. North Carolina provided many opportunities to grow professionally and personally, and I wanted to bring the skill sets learned there back home to California. My wife and I decided to return home to California so I can provide high-quality care to the residents of my home town and to the members of Kaiser Permanente.
About my practice
My primary focus is in sports medicine, and I believe that we are all athletes. Our bodies have the amazing ability to heal themselves when provided proper nutrition and the right environment to do so. Healthy living and preventive care are essential to staying healthy and are also a requirement for your body to "thrive." When caring for members, I focus on the whole person caring for their mind, body, and spirit. I look to partner with members who are actively involved in taking care of their health. Should an injury occur, I am here to help you recover and get you back in "the game."
How I thrive
I firmly believe in Kaiser Permanente's philosophy of wellness in mind, body, and spirit and try to live it in my life every day. My wife, my 2 sons, and my spiritual life are my major priorities. I enjoy family outings including hiking, kayaking, fishing, and mountain biking. I also make it a priority to set aside time to just relax or read a good book.
