Find a Doctor

I was born in the city of Santa Barbara and raised on Limoneira Ranch, County of Ventura. I completed a BA in Cultural Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles and a PhD in Clinical Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology-Los Angeles. I have been a member of the Clinicas mental health team since 1993, my personal and professional call to service finding expression within the context of Clinicas’ inspired mission.

I have been with Clinicas del Camino Real, Inc. since August 2011 as a Board Certified Family Physician. I became Associate Medical Director in 2013 and have been the Chief Medical Officer for Clinicas since March 2014. I received my Undergraduate and Medical degrees from Government Medical College, Amritsar, India. I completed my residency at The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health University of Pennsylvania where I became Chief Resident. I worked in Botswana, Africa for a few years focusing on HIV/AIDS and multi- drug resistance tuberculosis patients. My responsibilities at Clinicas have included Physician Care, Hospitalist, auditing, and policy development.

I am a member of multiple Committees where I have been an integral part in overseeing primary care, specialty and quality assurance functions.

I was born in Mexico and was raised here in Ventura County. I attended Santa Clara High School and received my bachelor's degree in Zoology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I was blessed to attend and attain my degree of Doctor of Optometry from the University of California, Berkeley. I became an Optometrist so that I may provide the caring and personalized Optometric services that our unique, and often under-served, population of Ventura County deserves. Clinicas del Camino Real allows me to satisfy my personal and professional goals. It has been truly gratifying to serve our patients over the past years.

I feel fortunate to be a primary care provider and be at the forefront of preventive medicine. I believe in a holistic approach to health and work with my patients to help them lead a healthy, disease-free life. I also keep myself up to date with the latest guidelines and practice evidence-based medicine.

Outside of work I love spending time with my husband and our 4-month old daughter. We moved here from the North East and we are looking forward to exploring California.
