Professional Experience

I am a physician with expertise in internal medicine and neurology. I consult for television shows (The Ghost Whisperer, Castle, The Glades) and freelance about science, medicine, entertainment and any human interest topics. If you need a seasoned medical writer, look no further. I studied at Stanford and studied feature writing at the University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
