About

Apart from birth and death, pregnancy is one of the most inexplicable and spiritual events in a human being’s life. Nothing prepared me for my medical school obstetrics rotation when my hands embraced life emerging from the womb. The challenge of caring for two patients simultaneously, where the condition of one affects the other in an infinitely recursive loop was irresistible.

Across 25 years, I have cared for pregnant women and their unborn in precarious situations, taking their lives as seriously as those of my loved ones. Along the way I co-founded and serve as the Chief Health Officer of Lōvu Health (a transformative pregnancy and postpartum digital health platform making a national impact), have been Maternal-Fetal Medicine Director at O’Connor Hospital, am 2025 President-Elect of the Santa Clara County Medical Association and a delegate to the California Medical Association, an author and speaker on climate change impacts to women’s reproductive health, a photographer, a writer, a husband, and a father.

Life is dynamic, not static, and meaningful life is resilient life. After private practice followed by 13 years of employed practice, it’s now time for the 3rd act of my career: a daring journey into a new MFM care model - one of high touch, high communication, and high compassion. Come join me in my next adventure, a novel approach to restoring humanity in maternal-fetal medicine.
