Hello! Thanks for coming to read more about me. I understand how important it is to have a doctor that listens to you and understands you. I promise to strive to do this each and every visit!  

I was born in the old Sutter Roseville Hospital across the street from where the practice is currently located. Growing up, I looked up to my father's work as a family medicine doctor, who started the practice over 35 years ago. I admire most how his patients became his best friends. I graduated from residency from Ventura County Medical Center, rated among the top in the nation. Since then, I've enjoyed working with tropical medicine (sometimes referred to as travel medicine), treating patients with opiate addiction, and treating families from young to old.  My biggest joy in medicine is feeling I've made a difference in others' lives.  

My hobbies include traveling to new places, bike riding, speaking en Espanol, and trying new foods.

Thanks for taking the time to read my bio. I hope I can help you live your best life!
