I completed Internal Medicine residency training at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in San Bernardino County, CA in 2018. My expertise lies in the hospitalized patient and hospital based acute care. With my post-graduate training and current employment at high acuity stroke and Level 1 trauma centers, I have specific experience caring for hospitalized stroke and trauma patients. I have been active in various Hospital committees and projects including but not limited to: Internal Medicine Quality Review Committee performing peer reviews, Quality Improvement Committee, and currently serve as Chair of Medical Records Committee. I am very efficient and thorough in record review and I take pride in my ability to educate non-experts and to provide ethical objective opinions. My opinions and recommendations are supported by my extensive experience caring for thousands of injured and ill patients.
