With over 25 years practicing as a primary care physician in the San Fernando Valley, California, and surrounding areas, my goal as a private internal medicine doctor is to provide more personalized, proactive care to my patients. I aim to treat everyone as if they are my family members. I have more time and tools to help you pursue your wellness goals, and together, we can work towards a happier, healthier future more of a reality.
Having a small, personalized healthcare practice allows for longer appointments that are typically not rushed, little to no waiting time and the ability for patients to contact me after hours for more urgent needs on my cell phone. And my MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.
I believe that healthcare is one of the most important aspects of your life and that it is essential to have a primary care physician in the right setting to help deliver the care and attention that most patients seek. To me, the partnership between doctor and patient is critical to developing more personalized approaches to your needs and preferences. I can work more closely with you to help guide you on a path to better health as you make choices about your lifestyle habits and behaviors. As a board-certified internal medicine specialist, I can discuss acute and chronic health concerns, as well as emphasize prevention and education, with more time to coach and support you. I have special interest in chronic disease, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes.
Having served as the previous chief of staff of West Hills Hospital, I have relationships with specialists to help you with your unique needs as needed. My practice is in West Hills and serves patients in Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Northridge, Calabasas, Agoura, Westlake Village, Hidden Hills, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Tarzana, Reseda, Encino, Sherman Oaks and Studio City. I am affiliated with West Hills Hospital and Medical Center.
