I have had the privilege of training with some of the finest plastic and head and neck surgeons in the world, and hope to bring the highest level of medical service to you and your loved ones.
My mission is to provide comprehensive care within the face, head, and neck to all my patients. It has been my dream to serve a community in need, and that's how I settled on Yuma, AZ which is only 2 hours from my native San Diego.
