About Me

I am a board-certified physician specializing in Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. After spending six rewarding years as a staff physician at the Cleveland Clinic, I relocated to Southern California with my family in September 2024. While we were drawn to the region's beautiful weather, our primary motivation was to be closer to family and enjoy the incredible outdoor lifestyle this area offers.

I’m proud to have opened my practice in Fountain Valley to establish deep roots within this vibrant community. My mission is to provide exceptional care to our patients, collaborate closely with our physician partners, and work within the health systems to ensure seamless, high-quality service. Drawing from my experience in renowned healthcare institutions like Cleveland Clinic, I am committed to bringing world-class medical expertise to our local community.

Above all, my goal is to build lasting relationships with my patients, their families, and the community, providing personalized care that emphasizes health, trust, and well-being.

My philosophy of care

My approach to medicine prioritizes your health and well-being. As your physician, my goal is to ensure that your concerns and needs are always heard and addressed. I strive to make your experience as straightforward and supportive as possible in today’s complex healthcare environment.

Effective communication and staying current with medical literature are essential for delivering the best care. I am committed to explaining medical terms and concepts clearly to you and your family. I will also ensure that your other healthcare providers are informed about the care plan to guarantee seamless transitions. Staying up-to-date with the latest evidence-based treatments and attending national meetings enables me to provide you with the best possible outcomes.

While I hope you remain under my care, some complex conditions require specialized support. In such cases, I will coordinate with leading centers to secure the best treatment while continuing to oversee your care locally. I enjoy collaborating with hospital teams and our office staff to manage your health effectively. Together, we can offer comprehensive and personalized care.

Engaging you and your family in improving your health and enhancing your quality of life is a key part of our approach. I encourage family participation in your treatment plan and am dedicated to supporting both you and your family throughout your health journey. Building a long-term relationship with you and your family is important to me, and I look forward to supporting you every step of the way.
