Richard spent his childhood years in Texas (Dallas and Houston) and then moved to Southern California at the beginning of High School. He attended Revelle College at UC San Diego and graduated with a degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. As a post-graduate for three years after college, he was involved in molecular and biochemical research at the La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation. During those years, he enjoyed his work, the San Diego lifestyle, and competing in triathlons. He then went on to medical school in Chicago where he graduated at the top of his class, after which he then returned to Southern California (Huntington Beach) and completed his internship and radiology residency at UC Irvine. For his specialty training, Richard then did a fellowship in Interventional Radiology (minimally invasive image guided procedures) in Washington DC where he learned from the best and brightest leaders within the field. Since returning to California, he has performed thousands of minimally invasive procedures here in the central valley at DMC Modesto and at Emanual Medical Center in Turlock. With 20 years of experience, he provides the leadership and skillsets that are needed for directorship of our Medical Spa and for the safety and satisfaction of our clients.
