About Me
Having grown up in the SF Bay Area I am proud to provide expert care in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as otolaryngology.
I am fortunate to have completed all of my training within the University of California. I graduated from UC San Diego (Muir college) with honors and athletic accolades. I then earned my medical degree from UC Irvine with a distinction in research and inducted to the AOA honor society. Thereafter, I completed a five-year surgical residency at UCLA in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and completed further subspecialty training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at UCSF. My desire to improve patient satisfaction, optimize surgical techniques, and advance patient outcomes have resulted in over 40 surgical research publications in and over 100 presentations internationally.
