OVERVIEW
About Me
Thank you for looking at my home page. I view this page as a nice way to introduce myself to my patients. I chose to practice nephrology because the kidneys are the chemists of the body and perform many functions. Please feel free to access some of the Internet health care resources that I believe to be reliable (the links are located in the left margin area).
I grew up in Orinda, California, and attended college at the University of California, Berkeley (Go Bears!). After finishing my nephrology training at University of California Davis Medical Center in 2003, I was privileged to start my practice at Kaiser Permanente in Walnut Creek.
I am a member of the American Society of Nephrology, the International Society of Nephrology, and the American College of Physicians. I have offices at the Walnut Creek Medical Center and at the Antioch Medical Center - Deer Valley Offices. Kaiser Permanente’s fully integrated computer systems allow me to access laboratory data, …radiology reports, and important dictations at either site. Both facilities have pharmacy, radiology, and laboratory services on site, allowing same day medication pick-up, x-rays or lab tests if needed.
My practice philosophy includes focusing on patient education. Having my patients understand the way their disease process works contributes to their quality of care.
My first language is English, but I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.
My research and clinical interests include molecular biology. My personal interests include cooking, running, and reading mysteries.

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews
We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.
All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.
We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
