Hi! Welcome to my practice.
I graduated with honors from the Chicago Medical
School in 2001, where I served as class president.
After internship and residency at
Harbor-UCLA, I earned board certification in emergency medicine and still
practice in several Los Angeles area emergency departments. I also hold a Clinical
Attending position in
the Harbor-UCLA Department of Emergency Medicine.
Practicing in the emergency departments of Los Angeles, I began to realize that a
large percentage of people have little or no access to quality, reliable, empathetic and
open-minded primary care.
Soon I decided to open my own private practice in order
to serve segments of the population that may feel less
than comfortable in traditional
primary care settings.
I am especially
familiar with challenges and struggles of people who do not fit
society’s molds. Members
of the transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and intersexed
communities receive supportive and empathetic care.
Members of alternative
lifestyle communities can feel comfortable discussing their private lives and intimate
practices without fear of judgment or invalidation. And, of course, anyone from any
walk of life
is welcome!
In my free time I can usually be found on my bicycle,
producing music in my
recording studio or out seeing live music, independent films or art exhibits. I
frequently travel near and far and look forward to my winter ski trips!
