About
Bio
I am an interventional radiologist practicing at Kaiser Permanente Napa-Solano. My primary interest is interventional oncology, using catheter and ablation skills to treat liver, kidney, and lung tumors. I am also trained in diagnostic radiology, interpreting x-rays, ultrasounds, CTs, and MRIs. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, dining out with my wife, and bringing my dog to the great bay area dog parks.
