Brief Intro

My Specialty and Why I Chose It I am a pediatric endocrinologist and I provide care to children with hormonal conditions, which include diabetes and disorders of growth and puberty. I chose this specialty so that I can help these children with special needs to optimize their quality of life. I find this very fulfilling and emotionally rewarding. Practice Philosophy I believe in open communication with my patients and their parents, and encourage their involvement in the health care decisions. I strongly advocate for patient/parent education and teach the skills that are needed for better health. I strive to be respectful of the patient’s needs and to provide culturally appropriate care. I support a team approach to provide comprehensive care of children with diabetes. Children have great potential and deserve the best possible health care with compassion. My Tenure with Kaiser Permanente I have been with Kaiser Permanente since 1998. The pediatric endocrinology and diabetes services have expanded a great deal since that time. Many new and novel services are available to better serve our patients. Reasons I Like Working at Kaiser Permanente Kaiser Permanente provides a wonderful working relationship with my colleagues. I am able to offer the latest treatments and information to my patients. Working at Kaiser Permanente allows me great opportunities to explore and implement new ideas for patient care. I have been actively involved in the implementation and running of the program to help reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes in children and conduct an annual camp for children with Type 1 diabetes. It has been very rewarding experience to be able to offer these programs to the Kaiser kids. I am very privileged to receive the coveted Sidney R. Garfield Exceptional Contribution Award for these programs in 2006. On a Personal Note. . . I am married to a Kaiser Permanente physician and we have two children. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy reading, writing poetry, and traveling to culturally diverse places. I also experiment with fusion cooking. I have a very enriching professional and personal life.
