I was born and raised on the island of Guam, a US territory in the South Pacific. My mother was a nurse, introducing me to medicine as a profession and ultimately leading me to become a physician. Attending the University of Washington, I earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology as well as a second Bachelors in Biochemistry. I graduated from University of Rochester School of Medicine in 1999 and then completed an internship and residency at Baylor College of Medicine. I am dual board certified in both Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine/Weight Management, with over 20 years of experience in clinical medicine. I am also certified in Functional Medicine by the Institute of Functional Medicine. I have completed additional education and am certified in Age Management Medicine through the Age Management Medical Group. I've seen a tremendous need for a more comprehensive approach to patient care. Better preventative care could have reduced the need for many of the hospitalizations I attended. I founded Austin Medical Partners to partner with the patient, and focus on preventative care as much as illness care.
