Where I practice
About me
I am a general surgeon who provides surgical care for patients with a variety of conditions, including cancers of the breast, skin, and intestines, as well as complex hernia cases. I am one of a select group of surgeons who use advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques to treat abdominal problems.
Biography
I grew up in San Diego and have lived in Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, the Bay Area, and Colorado throughout my education and surgical training.
I am married and have 3 amazing children. As a family, we enjoy swimming, spending time outdoors, camping, hiking, and reading together.
Providing high-quality care to members is at the core of my motivation. It inspires me to continually stay current with the latest advances and therapies.
About my practice
I specialize in general surgery and treat a variety of conditions, including complex abdominal wall hernias, using advanced robotic surgical techniques. I also care for patients with cancers of the breast, skin, and intestines, as well as other general surgical conditions.
My professional philosophy is simple: it's about the patient. I focus on delivering personalized, high-quality care and ensuring that each patient's needs remain at the center of every decision.
I work closely with a supportive care team, and together we strive to ensure patients have everything they need throughout their treatment and recovery. I am committed to caring for patients from all backgrounds and walks of life.
How I thrive
What I enjoy most about working at Kaiser Permanente is the balance, structure, and support that allow me to focus on providing high-quality patient care.
Outside of work, I prioritize a healthy lifestyle through good nutrition and regular exercise. I am also mindful of my mental well-being and continually work on improving my communication skills, which helps me both personally and professionally.
