Biography

As a radiologist, I enjoy interacting with patients and referring clinicians. I strive to provide the best patient care through high quality interpretations with timely communication. I am always looking for ways to help improve patient care, delivery of care and patient outcomes.

I completed my undergraduate education at the UC Berkeley with a double major in Molecular and Cell Biology and Psychology. I graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine in 2004 and subsequently finished my internship at St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco. I received my residency training at Stanford University Hospital and Clinics and followed by a fellowship in Musculoskeletal and Spine Imaging at National Orthopedic Imaging Associates in San Francisco. Prior to joining Kaiser Permanente in 2012, I worked in various private practice settings, helping to optimize patient care and practice efficiency.

I am interested in musculoskeletal imaging with specific emphasis in sports imaging. I have provided advanced subspecialty reads for various professional sports teams including the San Francisco Giants and San Francisco 49ers.
