Summary

• I completed my Bachelors of Science degree in biomedical engineering and computer science at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
  
  Towards the end of undergraduate school I made the decision to pursue a career in medicine, which would allow for a career involving science as well as direct interaction and service to others. I went on to pursue his medical degree at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas.
  
  I completed my surgical residency at the University of California San Francisco, Fresno program. During residency I found particular interest in the techniques of minimally invasive surgery as well as the benefits that it offered for surgical patients, in terms of faster recovery and decreased pain, discomfort and morbidity.
  
  I therefore went on to complete a fellowship in Minimally Invasive Surgery at UCSF Fresno, with mentors that are world renowned in the field of bariatric surgery.
  
  I have been practicing surgery in the Central Valley ever since completion of my training in 2013; first in Delano where I am still Bariatric Surgical Director, and now in Bakersfield since the fall of 2016.
  
  I am currently one of the only fellowship-trained bariatric surgeons practicing in Kern County.
