Biography
David started his career as an Organizational Psychologist, but he found his true calling in medicine while volunteering at a women’s shelter in Pasadena, CA. During this time, David found a “visceral level of enjoyment” in having a tangible and direct impact on the lives of others. This prompted him to change to a career path that ensured he would have a positive and direct impact on the lives of others. Shortly afterward, he enrolled in nursing school to become a registered nurse.
He has never stopped helping his patients as a nurse and never stopped studying different nursing fields, even as he became a Nurse Practitioner. He continued exploring, studying and practicing different specialties, in an effort to be even more helpful to his patients.
Among others, he specialized in Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Weight Management, Urgent Care, and even Addiction Medicine (while he was an NP at the Las Vegas jail).
