About me
Welcome to my Web page. I am a board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist at Kaiser Permanente’s Riverside Medical Center, and I appreciate this opportunity to introduce myself and provide insight into my practice and expertise. I work with a multidisciplinary team to ensure high-quality care for members. My practice is driven by a collaborative approach, combining medical oncology with surgical and radiation oncology to develop comprehensive treatment plans.
Biography
I was born in Taiwan, and my family moved to Los Angeles when I was 8 years old. I have family members here in the United States as well as back home in Taiwan. I try to go back once a year to visit my parents and relatives in Taiwan. I am married with a daughter, and my wife is a pharmacist. I choose the field of medical oncology and hematology because of the members I get to meet. You develop a close relationship with them, and they become not only members but your friends as well
About my practice
My Cancer Subspecialty
My primary focus is on gastrointestinal oncology. I provide specialized expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, including anal, colorectal, biliary, pancreatic, gastric cancers, and esophageal cancer. Through a member-centered approach, I aim to deliver a high standard of care.
National Expertise on Multidisciplinary Teams
As a member of the Southern California Regional Sub-Specialty Gastroenterology Oncology Committee, I collaborate with a team of experts to analyze emerging therapies. This work helps shape the National Kaiser Permanente Oncology Care Pathways, ensuring that members receive leading-edge treatment options. I also contribute to the multidisciplinary Gastroenterology Tumor Board, providing regional expertise to optimize outcomes.
Research and Clinical Trials
I am a proud member of several prestigious oncology research groups, including the National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Program. I am a sub-investigator in:
- SWOG Cancer Research Network
- NSABP (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project)
- Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology
- NRG Oncology
My research involvement includes collaboration with leading oncology research networks, such as SWOG Cancer Research Network, NSABP, Alliance, and NRG Oncology. My work aims to advance cancer treatment options and improve outcomes.
How I thrive
Outside of my professional commitments, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and exploring different cultures. I am passionate about outdoor activities and engage in sports such as tennis, bicycling, and full-court basketball. These activities not only keep me active but also provide a great way to unwind and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Thank you for visiting my Web page. I look forward to the opportunity to support and care for members with dedication and expertise.
