“Remaining up to date with the cutting edge science of medicine is extremely important, but of equal importance is caring for patients emotionally and partnering with them around decisions that affect their health and their lives.”

He completed an internal medicine internship and residency at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego. During his residency, he was honored as both the intern of the year and resident of the year.
