Summary

I grew up in Southern California, and all of my education has been in the Los Angeles area: Occidental College, USC College of Medicine and Harbor-UCLA for my residency training. My family is from here, and they are members of Kaiser Permanente too. I became a doctor to help people; in the Emergency Department, that opportunity comes dozens of times each day.
