I enjoy caring for people of all ages, especially women and their families, often seeing family members spanning several generations.  While studying for a biology degree at UC Berkeley, I worked as a caregiver for the disabled.  Caring for the elderly is also a primary interest.  Through emphasis on preventive care,  I believe that patients and physicians can form a powerful alliance to bring about optimal health and well-being.

My clinic is modeled after L. Gordon Moore's Ideal Medical Practices that deliver superb care through 24-7 access to your physician who knows you and is able to provide coordinated and comprehensive care.  By designing the office environment to eliminate inefficiencies of flow and access, more time is dedicated for the physician-patient interaction.
