Intestinal Diverticulitis near Santa Ana, CA

Care Philosophy: Caring for patients from birth to their advanced years is what I pictured when I imagined practicing medicine as a young man, and it's what I do every day. I find it fulfilling to build relationships with my patients and advocate for the care they need. It's a privilege that my patients take me into their confidence and I am able to share the most significant circumstances in their lives. I like taking care of all my patients' health needs, rather addressing than one particular organ group or concentrating on patients of a certain age group.
