Approach to care

I enjoy my career as a physician. I feel privileged to be able to establish relationships with my patients and I truly do learn from my patients. I believe my role as a physician is, to the best of my knowledge, to provide my patients with health information that will empower them to take an active positive role in their health. I try to encourage lifestyle changes including exercise, a healthy diet and holistic activities, and stress the importance of medicine when necessary.

I support the American Academy of Family Medicine Practitioners (AAFMP) and the California Dept of Public Health's (CDPH) guidelines and schedules on vaccinations to protect your child's and the community's health.
