More About This Provider
I graduated from UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine in 2016 and completed Emergency Medicine residency at UCSF-San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. In residency I gained a special interest in orthopedic care and procedures which led me to complete a Non-Operative Sports Medicine fellowship at the Stanford Health Care-O'Connor program. After completing my fellowship I served as team physician for the 2022 USA U17 Men and Women's Freestyle and Greco-Roman teams at the World Wrestling Championships held in Rome, Italy.
My personal interests include orthobiologic therapies such as platelet rich plasma as well as diagnostic and therapeutic use of ultrasound. I use ultrasound as a bedside tool to provide accurate and precise clinical care in real time.
Personal Interests
In my free time I enjoy trying new cuisines, traveling with my family, and exercising. I grew up wrestling and enjoy watching mixed martial arts and the UFC. I follow collegiate and international wrestling, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Philosophy of Care
I believe in quality and evidence based care. I enjoy treating orthopedic and sports related problems and strive to provide exceptional care with a goal of keeping people active.
