About me
My fellow Kaiser Permanente physicians and I are pleased to provide you with high-quality health care.
Biography
I was born and raised in California, and while I briefly considered venturing beyond our golden hills, the amazing recreation, opportunities, and people here have convinced me that California is my permanent home. I spent my undergraduate years studying at UC Berkeley. I traveled through Costa Rica and South America for nearly a year at the end of my college education, then worked at the American Lung Association promoting their smoking cessation, asthma prevention, and clean air programs. I completed both my medical school and residency in Ob/Gyn at UC Irvine, my father’s alma mater. As the saying goes, “The fruit does not fall far from the tree,” and I’m happy to carry on my family’s tradition of personal and compassionate medical care.
About my practice
As a general Ob/Gyn, I am able to provide comprehensive women’s health services, from preconception counseling to normal and complicated pregnancy monitoring, as well as care during the menopausal years. I have trained with leaders in the field of Ob/Gyn, and I am excited to bring minimally invasive surgical techniques to my practice. In addition, my Ob/Gyn department has several specialists in the areas of gynecologic oncology (women’s cancer), urogynecology (incontinence and disorders of the pelvic floor, such as prolapse), perinatalogy (high-risk pregnancy), and infertility. I currently work as a hospital-based physician. Your total good health is our goal, and together we have the tools to help you.
How I thrive
Staying well is easier when you nurture healthy living habits. Growing up, I spent many summers in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and I credit many of my healthy habits to the recreation I enjoyed as a child. Cross-country running through the forests and American Lung Association bike treks up and down the western U.S. are just a couple of ways I developed a taste for outdoor fitness and fun. In medical school, I placed 35th in my age group in the Los Angeles Marathon. Today my days of long-distance running are few, but I’m finding that regular exercise and a balanced diet help improve my energy and happiness during the day.
