I am an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics in the Division of Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology at the UCLA School of Medicine.

My research at UCLA is on asthma and allergic inflammation. I am also an investigator there in multi-center clinical trials for treatments of hereditary angioedema, chronic pain and inflammation.

My private practice is in the St. John’s Medical Plaza in Santa Monica, and includes:
Asthma
Anaphylaxis
Food Allergy
Immune Deficiency
Urticaria and Angioedema
Allergy (Eyes, Ears, and Sinuses)

I received my bachelor’s degree in Physiology from the University of California, Los Angeles; a Masters in Public Health degree in Epidemiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham; an internship at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention along with my Medical Degree from the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. After completing my Pediatrics residency at Harvard Medical School’s Massachusetts General Hospital, I finished my fellowship in Allergy and Immunology at the University of California, Los Angeles. During his final year of fellowship, I also trained in Pediatric Pain Management at UCLA. I was the Clinical Director of the UCLA Pediatric Pain Program from 2007-2009. I continue to refer some of my patients to Complementary and Alternative Medicine practicioners, because Wellness is a whole mind/body way of health.
