Biography

I am a bicultural family medicine doctor offering compassionate, culturally humble and inclusive patient-centered care.

I treat patients of all ages, especially those with diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

I provide many types of treatments for my patients, including preventive care and screenings, medication and chronic disease management, mental health care and reproductive health care.

Growing up in Yakima, Washington, I saw firsthand the challenges faced by individuals with limited access to healthcare due to language and cultural barriers. I strive to bridge this gap. I am passionate about building long-term relationships with patients, particularly those from underserved and marginalized communities. I aim to provide a space where individuals feel heard, cared for, and supported.

Outside of OHSU, I enjoy playing different types of music, reading about moral philosophy and spending time outdoors with my wife and our dog, Horchata.
