I grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. After completing medical school, internship and residency training at Stanford University Medical Center, I pursued a fellowship in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, with combined studies at the UCLA Medical Center and a private practice in Beverly Hills.

I joined Sunnyvale Medical Clinic, now the Camino Region of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, in 1993. Since then, I have developed a practice focused on facial aesthetic and rejuvenate surgery, specializing in surgery of the nose and sinuses, eyelids, forehead, ears, and neck. I believe that my primary roles as physician and surgeon are to listen to my patients' concerns, educate and inform them about their options, and finally, to implement a plan to achieve optimal surgical results with minimal recovery time. I feel strongly that surgery should achieve natural results that enhance my patients' own looks, without appearing artificial or "done." The vast majority of my practice consists of referrals from previous patients and my colleagues.
