Describe the most rewarding experience that you have had working with a patient?

After acheiving the look a patient desires, their new smile that reveals their new self confidences and says thank you in way words cannot capture. This is the biggest reward I ever receive. Seeing patients achieve a new level of self confidience through empathetic listening and compassionate care is the most rewarding aspect of being a physician.

What is your charity organization of choice and why?

Physicians for Peace. It is so important to give back to those around us. The Waldorf School and the American River Charity. Our local community needs us all to care for it.

What does living in the Sacramento community mean to you?

A wonderful quality of life with a fantastic community and people. A vibrant city, great outdoors activities, happy healthy people, and sun shine.

What is your favorite quote or saying?

To handle yourself use your head to handle others use your heart. Eleanor Roosevelt. Compassionate Emptiness... I dream of things that are not and ask why not. Robert F. Kennedy People who feel good about themselves produce good results -Kenneth Blanchard & Spencer Johnson

A satisfied happy patient whose expectations were exceeded.

What is your favorite procedure to perform and why?

Rhinoplasties as they offer such rewarding changes. A close second is facial rejuvenation and breast enhancment.
