I practice Functional Medicine, a patient-centered approach where I address the root cause of your symptoms. Many patients are treated with band-aid medicine where symptoms are masked by prescription medication and signs from your body are ignored in order to create the illusion of health. I believe that true health and wellness is only possible when each patient is respected as a unique being and an individualized approach is used.
I have a special interest in women's hormone health, and working with women on their transition through menopause. I approach each patient with compassion and work with her to develop a personalized plan.
I earned an Electrical Engineering degree from UC Davis in 1985 and had a successful career in Silicon Valley before deciding to make the change to medicine. I earned my medical degree from Midwestern University's Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am licensed by the California Osteopathic Medical Board and completed my residency in Internal Medicine at Kaiser Santa Clara where I worked as a Primary Care Physician for seven years before making the change to Functional Medicine.
