Facial Plastic SurgeryAbout Me
Thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage! I am originally from the Northeast, born and raised outside New York City. My undergraduate and medical training have taken me all over the country, but I am so excited to have (finally) landed in California. Growing up the daughter of a pulmonologist, I was exposed to the medical world at a young age. I knew early on that I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps, but as an Architecture major and art lover, I hoped to find a way combine my creativity and hands on personality with my love for medicine. Ultimately, I found this perfect balance in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. I am fellowship trained in all aspects of reconstructive and cosmetic facial plastic surgery, with a heightened interest in transgender facial feminization surgery.
During my residency and fellowship training, I had the opportunity to be part of several humanitarian surgical mission trips around the world. My travels to El Salvador, Ethiopia and Cambodia have been some of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I hope to continue my involvement in humanitarian work throughout my career.
I am a firm believer in Kaiser Permanente’s comprehensive and integrated approach to healthcare and I am so excited to be part of the Kaiser Permanente family. Kaiser Permanente allows me to spend my time focusing on providing the most comprehensive and compassionate care possible for my patients.
