"I believe in delivering evidence-based care, while paying close attention to the patient’s expectations and quality of life. I strive to provide every patient with care that is both personalized and comprehensive.

I live with my wife Dana, a pediatrician at Coast Pediatrics, and our three daughters: Hadas, Roni, and Shai. We live in Carmel Valley, and enjoy the beach and other outdoor activities. As part of the North County community, we appreciate running into our patients at local stores and events."
