About Me
I was born in Glendale but grew up in NorCal (Rocklin–if you know, you know). My family relocated shortly after the big earthquake back in the 80’s. I came to Orange County for graduate school and never left. In fact, it became impossible for me to leave behind the amazing community and genuine connections. When I finished my professional education, it became my goal to serve the community in the only way I knew how–caring for others.
I, like many of our physicians, believe that healthcare should be tailored to each individual based on their circumstances and goals in life. To me, a person’s health consists of their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our practice is unique in that we have opportunities to build meaningful, intimate relationships with our patients to help them embody their ideal image of self.
What’s Interesting
I’m a seasoned sketch artist and designer who specializes in logos and cartoons. I designed the logo for the practice and our skincare line! I love drawing a variety of things ranging from whimsical to elegant to professional. Currently, my focus has been on portrait drawings. One slight change in the shading or positioning of a feature can change the entire emotion and feel of the drawing just as one small personal detail can often impact the effectiveness of a treatment plan. I love how the details in medicine and portrait drawing can be interconnected and interwoven.
What I Do at NCP
I co-founded the company with Dr. Drew Nguyen and am a managing partner/board member for NCP. I am also the current chair of Primary Care Medicine and hope to expand the department with physicians who share our care philosophy of complete patient care.
What I Focus On
Having trained as an internal medicine physician, I am focused almost solely on preventive and primary care for the adult and geriatric patient. I do incorporate some older pediatrics into my practice. Like all of my colleagues in this practice, I believe in the value of preventing illness before they come about.
