I am the Medical Director of the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) Tuberculosis Clinic at Ward 94 located at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. In addition to overseeing the clinical team in San Francisco, I also have experience working overseas in tuberculosis surveillance. I am board-certified in internal medicine and infectious diseases and continue to consult on infectious diseases at the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center. I have a 15+ year history of working in infectious diseases and public health at an international, national, state and local level. San Francisco has one of the highest incidence rates of tuberculosis in California at ~13/100,000 (>4 times higher than the national rate). I love working at the SFDPH Tuberculosis Clinic, where our mission is to evaluate and manage or co-manage all cases of active tuberculosis in San Francisco. We average over 100 cases annually, as well as manage and provide expert consultation on patients with multi-drug resistance and complicated or difficult-to-treat latent tuberculosis infection. We participate in multiple collaborative training and research endeavors with our partners at UCSF, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the California Department of Public Health TB Control Branch, and the Curry International Tuberculosis Center.
