Brief Intro

Welcome. Thank you for visiting my Web page. BiographyI grew up in the suburbs of Boston and Atlanta but have spent most of my adult life in the Northeast-mainly New York City where I went to medical school and did my residency. Three and a half years ago I came to Los Angeles. I entered medicine in my late 20s after going to graduate school to study American history. I worked as a voting rights consultant with the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department and came very close to going to law school. But through some volunteer work, I realized that I really liked caring for people more than burying my head in lots of paperwork. I have never regretted making the switch to medicine. I am married and have a son. Most of my nonwork time is spent hanging out with my family. About my practiceI am an obstetrics and gynecology hospitalist, which means I take care of patients in the hospital and do not have an office practice. I enjoy helping to ensure a safe labor experience. In addition, I enjoy the challenge of seeing obstetrics and gynecology patients who come to the hospital with emergencies. How I thriveHiking the Santa Monica Mountains with my family is my favorite way to reduce stress and get some exercise.
