About
Bio
I graduated from UC San Diego and stayed there to do Medical School as well. After completing an internship and residency in Emergency Medicine in North Carolina, I returned to Southern California to practice.
Along with directly managing medical concerns, I try to educate and empower my patients.
Outside of medical practice, I also enjoy writing & recording music, camping, and spending time with my wife and son.
