BA, Cornell University
MD, UCLA
Peds Residency, Children's Hospital Oakland
Board Certified, Pediatrics

My husband and I were both raised in the suburbs of New York City. We were married when we were very young and we both graduated from Cornell University. I worked while my husband was in graduate school and then he supported me while I was in medical school at UCLA. I had been a math major in college but I chose medicine because I wanted more interaction with people. My father was a Freudian psychoanalyst and my mom was a nurse so I was quite familiar with the medical field.

Throughout medical school I enjoyed many different types of medicine but there was nothing else that matched my feeling in pediatrics. I therefore did my residency at Oakland Children's Hospital and have worked in private practice in the Tri Valley area for more than 25 years. I love working with parents and children, watching the family evolve and the children grow.

We have three daughters of our own who are our joy and our challenge.
