I have maintained a private practice specializing in arthritis, rheumatic diseases, osteoporosis and pain problems since 1984. My main office is adjacent to Saddleback Memorial Medical Center, where I serve as Director of Continuing Medical Education and of the medical library. Our practice is committed to caring for our patients, a process that begins with the first phone call. After a thorough evaluation and diagnosis, doctor and patient determine an individually selected program of treatment. We educate our patients, helping them to learn more about the latest advances in arthritis care.
Our office accepts Medicare assignment, and participates in most major insurance plans. We have an additional office in Irvine.
Personal Information:
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. After 8 years of college and medical education in Buffalo, NY, I headed to the warmer confines of Miami Beach, FL for my Internal Medicine residency. There, I met my wife, a respiratory therapist. We married in 1983, during my Rheumatology Fellowship at UC/Irvine. We settled in South Orange County the following year. We have 2 children. My outside interests include acoustic jazz music. I perform on mandolin and acoustic guitar synthesizer with the group TimbreLine.
