About me
I grew up in the Philippines and am the youngest of 4 children. Growing up, I saw the effects of poor access to health care, including some of my family members who succumbed to terminal illnesses because they didn't have the care they needed. I wanted to make a difference, so I turned to science and medicine. After finishing medical school, I decided to further my training in the United States. I'm happily married to my husband, whom I met in residency training. We have 2 wonderful daughters who inherited their dad's love of music and the outdoors. In our family, every day is action-packed and full of music. A few years ago, I received a Service Excellence Award for having one of the top patient satisfaction scores in our health care system. It was one of the most gratifying rewards I've received in my life. I chose to join Kaiser Permanente because of the patient-centered approach to care and their commitment to improving health care delivery.
About my practice
I get to know my patients, their health history, cultural background, preferences, and goals in life. This helps me guide them in their choices while respecting their unique wishes. Then, I educate them on their health issues. I want my patients to be informed and invested in their health. I treat all adults, and I also specialize in geriatrics. The connection I have and the trust that I build with my patients is incredibly rewarding. It's a privilege to share life journeys with my patients, from helping them feel better and healthier to sharing tears and holding their hands.
How I thrive
I read, reflect, and rest. I also like to get creative with my cooking, which is not as good as my husband's (according to my children). My family loves to cook and share food with our friends. We go to Italy and the Philippines once a year to visit family.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
