Biography:
Palisades High School

Pre-medundergrad BS from UCLA in Biochemistry

M.D. from USC Medical School. now Keck

Internship and residency 3 years at USC in Family Practice 1990

Was Board certified, and re-certified,- 3 times every 7 years and finally decided not relevant to quality of care I provide so stopped re-certifying but still Board Eligible. I felt the written test had almost no reflection on the decision making and quality of care I provide ! I had highest score in the history of USC Family Practice residency on my first Board certification for a second year resident.

Elected by USC Medical Staff as Chief Resident at USC

In practice for 35years.

I am available 247 by my personal cell phone, as well as through my emergency office line.

I have found this only possible to do in the context of my solo VIP Practice.

Pay for services at time of visit.

After hours appointments available at increased charge. Telemedicine appointments readily available when appropriate.


VIP means immediate response to your needs.

coordination of care, same day or next day appointments, personalized old fashion medicine.
EKG's, xrays, IV fluids, IM antibiotics, blood tests IN OFFICE.

Ultrasounds, vascular studies, cancer screening, every thursday in office.... echocardiograms on Fridays.



Usually same day appointments, which last as long as necessary to address the problems most important. I get to know each patient as an individual. There are are no patients who have the exact "same" issues.

I am particularly interested in psychopharmacology . I diagnose and treat many simple and complex patients with depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADD, and with mixture of co-existing mood disorders. I DO NOT prescribe ANY OPIATES or SOMA. I treat chronic pain with other means.



My interests in "Rejuvenative medicine", and disease prevention are very strong, .

Treating chronic fatigue has proven quite helpful for hundreds of my patients.


My goal for you is quality and quantity of a well-balanced life, full of happiness , and healthy outlets for stress.


Optimizing Low growth hormone levels are a special interest area of mine

Anti-inflammatory supplements ,and optimization of vitamin D3 levels , thyroid, pregnenolone, testsoterone, female hormones when appropriate, and DHEA levels will be addressed.
