I chose medicine as a career because it allows me the opportunity to really get to know other people from all different cultural backgrounds and to help them live a healthier life — both physically and emotionally. I believe in treating patients as if they were a close friend or family member. I feel honored by my patients that that have chosen me to be their physician. I love to work with individuals to make sure their pregnancy is a great experience no matter what issues arise. Outside of work, I enjoy spending special time with my young daughter, traveling, exercising, wine tasting, spa days, beach days and entertaining friends and family in our beautiful city of San Diego.
