Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, are fully licensed and board-certified physicians who practice in all areas of medicine. DOs emphasize a whole-person approach to treatment and receive extra training in the musculoskeletal system called osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). DOs at One Medical typically practice in the field of family medicine, geriatrics, pediatrics, or internal medicine, and may also integrate OMT.
My method to deliver personalized and preventative medicine begins with active listening and understanding of my patients' values, lifestyle, and concerns, which is in line with my desire to care for the whole person rather than simply treating symptoms. I incorporate evidence-based medicine along with tailored education and motivational strategies to optimize my patients' well-being, healthspan and longevity in areas of nutrition, fitness, sleep, and mindfulness in order to improve and resolve health conditions. In addition to one-on-one patient visits, I also teach and facilitate One Medical's diabetes prevention program along with sleep and nutrition group classes. I earned my undergraduate degree in Economics at UC Berkeley with an emphasis in Nutritional Sciences. I come with 8 years of experience as a Clinical Instructor and Hospitalist physician at Stanford University and CPMC where I remain on staff. I am also certified in Ayurvedic medicine level 1 and 2.
To stay healthy, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying physically active, traveling, and am an avid supporter of the arts.
