I have been a practicing Internal Medicine physician since 1991. My practice has been focused on primary care of adults. Since 1996, I have been practicing with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation initially in Sunnyvale, then Mountain View, California. My plant-based journey began in the mid 1990s when I read “Diet for a new America” by John Robbins, and subsequently read many books by Dr John McDougal. In addition to taking the eCornell course through T. Colin Campbell, I became board-certified in Lifestyle Medicine in 2019. i have attended 2 of the annual Lifestyle medicine conferences, in 2019 and 2022. I have also attended the Plant Strong conference in Ashland, North Carolina in 2023, led by Rip Esselstyn.

Since February 2024, I have been the lead physician in my group’s new concierge medical practice. This membership-based practice is allowing me more time to work with patients who are interested in plant-based eating and healthy lifestyle changes. My philosophy of healthcare is preventive, collaborative, and postive.
