Summary
Welcome to my Web page. I am happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I am proud to be a member of such an outstanding medical group. I look forward to helping you if you ever need my care. BiographyI grew up in New Jersey. I moved to Southern California to attend medical school. Even when I was a young child, I knew that I wanted to be a doctor; in part because of I knew that I wanted to be able to make a real difference in people's lives, and practicing medicine gives me that opportunity.About my practiceI have worked in the Emergency Department at Bellflower Medical Center full time for the past 10 years. Everyone in our department works very hard to evaluate and treat our patients as soon as possible. It is very rewarding to be able to help sick people get treatment as quickly as possible so they can feel better.How I thriveKeeping balance in my life is important to me. I very much enjoy reading and learning new things. I spend several …hours a week trying to improve my skills in emergency medicine so that I can take better care of my patients. I enjoy action-adventure novels and historical material. I am very active physically and spend one to two hours a day exercising - either running with my golden retriever or weightlifting in the gym. In the winter, I snowboard; in the summer, I scuba dive.
