Summary

  • I am board certified in Pediatrics and practicing hospitalist medicine at LA General Medical Center. I am also the Associate Program Director for our Pediatrics residency program and the teaching aspect of my job drives my enthusiasm for medicine. I love sharing the special field of pediatrics with residents and medical students. I did my pediatric training at Los Angeles General Medical Center (formerly LAC+USC Medical Center) where I did an additional chief year focusing on inpatient medicine. In addition to rounding on the wards, I also perform procedural sedations and cover the PICU at night. I am proud to be part of a team that serves the underserved children and families of Southern California.
