"I was born in Seoul, Korea and immigrated to the United states in 1972. My family settled in New York city and that is what I consider my "hometown". I graduated from the Bronx High School of Science, the City college of New York and obtained my M.D. at the New York University in 1988. I decided to move to Philadelphia for my residency, and for a change of pace, and spent four years at the University of Pennsylvania. There, I grew to love the Schuykill River and the Fairmont Park. It was also in Philadelphia that I met and fell in love with my husband who was doing his residency in Urology. After becoming certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology in 1993, I practiced for two years at the Medical College of Pennsylvania until we both left Philadelphia for further training at the University of California San Francisco. There I completed a Fellowship in Pain Management and was also a staff Anesthesiologist at the California-Pacific Medical Canter. When our respective fellowships ended, we looked throughout the United States and felt that the Southwest would be an interesting place to settle. After working at the University of Arizona for a year, I joined Old Pueblo Anesthesia. My practice includes all area of anesthesiology except cardiac anesthesiology."
