I was born and raised in Berkeley. I did my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley and my medical studies at Dartmouth Medical School and Columbia University. During my residency at UC San Diego, I decided to specialize in ear surgery (otology and neurotology) and ear research, and I received a PhD for inner ear research I performed in the Department of Molecular Pathology. Before settling down in San Diego, I did an extra year of fellowship training in ear surgery at the Otology Group in Nashville. I subsequently added to my ear training by doing a fellowship with the Gruppo Otologico in Italy with world-famous Dr. Mario Sanna. I have one son, who means the world to me. He and I have had many adventures together. We also have a golden retriever named Charger, so you know we are big San Diego Chargers fans!
