About me

I am a family physician by training, serving the Murrieta and Temecula region since 2000. Over the years, my experiences in managed care, hospital medicine, and private practice have given me a distinct advantage in today's healthcare system. I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2017 and now work full time as an urgent care physician.

Biography

I was born in Long Beach and raised in Orange County. From an early age, I wanted to become a doctor, having been inspired by our family pediatrician. He was a warm-hearted and soft-spoken man who treated his patients with kindness and integrity. After graduating high school, I attended UC Irvine, where I received my bachelor of science degree. In 1996, I obtained my medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific in Pomona. Three years later, I finished my family medicine residency training at Riverside County Regional Medical Center. My family and I have made Temecula our home and enjoy the climate and outdoor activities it has to offer.

About my practice

What I enjoy most about my specialty is the diversity of members we see and the opportunity to affect their health in a positive way. Our state-of-the-art urgent care department offers innovative new technology and techniques that allow us to triage more efficiently and collaborate closely with colleagues through telemedicine. The electronic records system here at Kaiser Permanente allows us to consult with a wide range of specialists to ensure our members get high-quality care. Our professional team of nurses, doctors, and administrative leaders make it a priority to see that members are well taken care and get the proper follow-up they need.

How I thrive

Here at Kaiser Permanente, all employees, including the medical staff, are encouraged to make our own health a priority as well. It is important to lead by example, and I value the importance we place on prevention, lifestyle, and well-being. Staying active and balancing work with personal time allows me to be a better physician for my members. When I’m not at work or busy with the kids, you will find me outdoors enjoying a round of golf, boating, or snow boarding.
