My experience in urgent and emergency care has allowed me to evaluate and manage patients presenting with a wide variety of acute health concerns.

Throughout my clinical practice, I have cared for patients experiencing everything from common everyday illnesses to conditions requiring more extensive evaluation and escalation of care.

This experience is particularly important in virtual healthcare.

Not every health concern belongs in an emergency department — but not every condition can be safely managed virtually either.

My approach is to determine the appropriate level of care, provide treatment when virtual management is appropriate, and recognize when symptoms require laboratory testing, imaging, an in-person examination, urgent evaluation, or emergency care.

After more than two decades in healthcare and more than a decade as a healthcare provider, I have seen healthcare from many perspectives.

I've seen patients wait hours for conditions that could have been appropriately managed in a more convenient setting. I've also seen how important it is to recognize when seemingly simple symptoms require a higher level of care.

I've watched older adults and their families struggle to navigate medications, hospital transitions, chronic conditions, residential care requirements, and multiple healthcare providers.

I created CuraNow Health to provide a simpler option.

CuraNow Health brings together my experience in urgent care, emergency care, primary care, and geriatric care to provide convenient, personalized healthcare for patients and families throughout California.
