History
I was born and raised in Castro Valley. I returned to my hometown to practice medicine in the fashion that my father practiced for 50 years. I've been in the same location, in solo practice since 1989. In 2006, I changed from a traditional clinical practice to a concierge model so that I could continue practicing in today's healthcare insurance enviorment without sacrificing the personal attention that my patients have become accustomed to. Other professional activities include: Medical Doctor for the Oakland Raiders, Medical Director Valley Pointe Rehab Center, Medical Director Avalon MedSpa, on medical staff at Eden Medical Center Castro Valley
Specialties
I'm a Family Doctor practicing in the Old School model of the Personal Physician. My Preventive Health and Wellness Program suppliments traditional insurance, includes an annual comprehensive Physical Exam with all tests being done during a 2 hour visit on site at my office. Patients get a written report and recommendations as well as a credit card USB flashdrive/ID which has your complete medical history and test results downloaded on it. I limit my practice to 350 patients (traditional practices have over 2500), I am the only practitioner seeing my patients, we answer the phone
