About me

I am a board-certified dermatologist and have practiced in Orange County since graduating medical school. I enjoy photography (film and digital), hiking, cycling, and being outdoors.

Biography

I was born and raised in Southern California and don’t ever see myself leaving the sunshine, beaches, and mountains. Although my education has taken me up and down the coast of California, I’ve always found myself feeling back at home in Orange County. I am happily married with a small, growing family, which consists of my wife, our daughter, and a (semi) well-behaved dog. We love eating, traveling, and being outdoors.

About my practice

As a dermatologist, my practice is focused on the use of dermoscopy and the detection and surgical treatment of skin cancer. Dermoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses a special device to examine the skin in great detail, allowing me to identify potential abnormalities or abnormalities that may not be visible to the naked eye. This can be a vital tool in the early detection of skin cancer. In addition to using dermoscopy, I also perform surgery to remove skin cancers and treat common dermatologic conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Overall, my focus as a dermatologist is on providing high-quality care to members and helping them maintain healthy skin.

How I thrive

As someone who thrives on physical activity, I enjoy starting my day with a good workout and spending time cycling. Waking up early allows me to get a jump start on my day and gives me the energy and focus I need to tackle my tasks. I find that regular exercise not only helps me stay physically fit but also has a positive impact on my mental health and overall well-being. Whether I’m hitting the gym or hitting the road on my bike, I always feel better and more productive after getting some physical activity in.
