About
Bio
Originally from Minnesota and Upstate New York, I migrated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004 to follow my dreams of becoming a tech entrepreneur after completing my medical training and MBA at Fuqua and Duke University School of Medicine. But alas medicine has been my calling and now I am board certified in Internal Medicine ready to diagnose and treat all sorts of non-surgical ailments.
Having completed residency at Stanford, I currently practice in Santa Clara and in Palo Alto, California and volunteer at several non-profit clinics in San Jose and help orphaned pets at the local humane society. I love to hike around the Stanford DISH, pet random pets and agonize over my fantasy football team. Hope you find my assessments and recommendations useful.

Thanks for your quick reply! I just came back from my gyn's office. She recommends histerectomy based on HPV risk, symptoms, and my personal cancer history.
