About:

Hello! I'm a urologist currently serving as the Director of Urology at United Medical Doctors in Encinitas, California. My journey in medicine began with a strong foundation in Molecular and Cellular Biology, graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of Arizona. This was followed by earning my medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine. My passion for urology led me to complete rigorous training through residencies and fellowships, including advanced endourology and stone disease at the Cleveland Clinic. Over the years, I have held positions at institutions such as the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Virginia, where I focused on endourology and stone disease, contributing extensively to research and clinical practice.

In addition to my clinical roles, I have also served as a consultant for leading medtech companies, including Stryker Endoscopy and Dornier/Advanced MedTech Corporation. As an active member of several professional societies, including the American Urological Association and the Endourological Society, I strive to improve patient care through innovative research and education. Currently, I am pursuing an Executive MBA at the UCSD Rady School of Management to further enhance my leadership and management skills in healthcare.
