I am a board-certified Family Medicine physician and California Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) with specialized fellowship training in Primary Care Pain Management, Psychiatry, and Addiction Medicine through the University of California system. My practice focuses on the comprehensive evaluation and management of complex medical conditions, with particular expertise in pain management, occupational medicine, behavioral health, and the interaction between physical and psychological factors affecting health and recovery.

Throughout my career, I have cared for diverse patient populations and managed a wide range of acute and chronic medical conditions. My clinical experience includes the treatment of chronic pain, substance use disorders, mental health conditions, infectious diseases, and other complex multisystem illnesses. This broad medical background enables me to evaluate complicated medical histories, identify contributing factors to injury and disability, and assess the impact of pre-existing conditions on clinical outcomes.

My multidisciplinary training provides a unique perspective when evaluating cases involving overlapping physical, psychological, and occupational issues. I am particularly experienced in assessing functional limitations, treatment necessity, causation, and the relationship between chronic medical conditions and workplace injuries.

As a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) and Agreed Medical Evaluator (AME), I provide objective medical-legal evaluations in workers’ compensation and related matters. I am frequently retained to address questions involving causation, apportionment, impairment, disability, treatment recommendations, and the influence of pre-existing medical conditions on injury-related outcomes. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I conduct culturally competent evaluations across diverse patient populations and deliver thorough, evidence-based reports that assist attorneys, insurers, and triers of fact in resolving complex medical issues.
