SUMMARY
“I joined Kaiser Permanente in 1995 and have Advanced
Certification in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery. My specialties include:
orbital, nasal, and maxillofacial surgery, as well as thyroid and parathyroid
surgery. I function as a regional resource for the management of advanced
tumors of the head and neck and provide the otolaryngologic approach for tumors
at the skull base. Additionally, I am trained in Facial Plastic and
Reconstructive surgery and perform rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, and
rhytidectomy. I have an interest in post-tumor facial reconstruction and facial
reanimation surgery. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and also a Fellow of the American College
of Surgeons.
I received my Bachelor of Science degree, with Distinction, from
the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and my Doctor of Medicine degree, with
Honors, from Wayne State University in Detroit. Then, I completed my
Otolaryngology training in New York at the Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat
Hospital / New York Hospital-Cornell Medical College. Subsequently, I received
additional Head and Neck Oncologic and Skull Base Surgical training from
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and The University of California, Davis.
I am also a 2004 graduate of the Kenan-Flagler School of Business Advanced
Leadership Program, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and the
University of California, San Francisco, CHCF Advanced Leadership Program. “
Roles
“In April of 2005, I was appointed to the Physician-In-Chief andChief-of-Staff positions for the South Sacramento and Elk Grove Medical
Facilities. I am very fortunate to be able to continue my head and neck
