Brief Intro

I became a physician because I was in awe of the intimacy and humane aspects of caring for people, and the privilege associated with helping folks deal with life crises. I have almost 40 years of experience treating patients and families from all walks of life. This experience provides not only a foundation of scientific and practical knowledge, but also an intimate familiarity with all the resources available in the medical system. My office is also committed to making health insurance companies work for you. Thus, acute and chronic problems are managed with personal attention and any urgent illnesses are diagnosed and treated quickly. In my spare time, I love a relaxing sail on the San Diego Bay.
