Summary

I have been a part of the Kaiser Permanente health care system most of my life, having been born at Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles, growing up as a member there, and now working for the organization since 1989. Being a child at heart and maintaining the child within me, with all his wide-eyed wonder and openness, guided me to the practice of pediatrics. I find much of the joy in my work in seeing the smiles of the children we help take care of.
