Summary

I'm an American Board Certified in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism (ABMS), clinical densitometry (ISCD), obesity medicine (ABOM), and Internal Medicine (ABIM). I also completed the certificate program in Plant-Based Nutrition through Cornell.  I have been awarded the Fellowship of The American College of Endocrinology (FACE), Fellowship of The American College of Physicians (FACP), 2017 -America's Top Physicians by The Consumers Research Council of America, and 2018- Top Endocrinologist in California by Top Doctor Awards.I manage diabetes, obesity, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pituitary, lipids, bone, calcium, and Reproductive disorders.  My clinical areas of interest are thyroid cancer, endocrine hypertension, plant-based nutrition, and diabetes technologies (Insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors). I believe that each patient is unique. Endocrine and diabetes care are definitely not 'one size fits all,' I think it is important to get to know the patient and their lifestyle to create a treatment plan that will work for them. As Sushruta, an ancient Indian Physician, said, The greatest medicine of all is to teach people how not to need it, My focus is on lifestyle changes to prevent, treat and potentially reverse chronic Endocrine conditions in their early stages.
