"I practice medicine for the whole person and

I love what I do"

Practicing for the whole person

 

I strongly believe that medicine is more than technology, because people are more than machines!  My goal is to care for the whole person, and I aim to foster a relationship with patients based on trust and mutual respect.

 

I have practiced medicine for over 20 years in diverse clinical settings and have held positions with large medical groups in the Bay Area.  I have also contributed to research in therapeutic device development in the field of hypertension.  I publish regularly in peer-reviewed journals and I serve as assistant clinical professor of medicine at UCSF.  I wrote a book that critically examines the theory and practice of "population medicine."

 

I am board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in the areas of cardiology and interventional cardiology.  I also hold a certification in bioethics with distinction from the National Catholic Bioethics Center.
