Bio

I joined Kaiser Santa Rosa in July 2008. I have returned to California after several years spent in training, and it is great to be back. I spent part of my training at Kaiser Sacramento and am very pleased to be back with this organization.

I spent my early life in Africa and India. When I moved to the US, I first came to the Central Valley in California and fell in love with the farmlands.

I completed my internship in Michigan, and then medicine residency at UC Davis in Sacramento. I had the opportunity to rotate at the Kaiser hospitals during residency training. After completing a year of chief residency, I completed a fellowship in Cardiology in San Antonio, Texas.

I have always loved the Northern California area and was very glad when the opportunity presented itself to come to Santa Rosa.
