Summary

  • Board certified in Internal Medicine and a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, I have specialized in the treatment of venous disorders since 1986. In 2010, I began working with physicians who were burned out or who wished to improve their effectiveness in professional roles and/or balance in their lives. As a Physician Coach, I provide workshops for groups of physicians as well as individual coaching. I am a regular contributor to San Diego Physician, the monthly publication of the San Diego County Medical Society, and Vein, an industry-sponsored publication for vein specialists.
