In My Own Words
I have been in private practice specializing in sleep and pulmonary medicine for thirty years in Ventura County. I am board certified in both Sleep and Pulmonary Medicine. I am a fellow of the American College of Physicians, American College of Chest Physicians and American Academy of Sleep Medicine. I have had the privilege to provide medical care for a few decades for some of my patients. I am a volunteer clinical faculty member at the sleep clinic of the UCLA-West Los Angeles VA Medical Center where I completed my pulmonary/sleep fellowship training. It is a joy to interact with young physicians. The old adage of "you learn more by teaching' is certainly true for me. I am active in the Chinese American community in Ventura County. When I am not working, I enjoy time with my family as well as golf, kung fu and traveling.
