Lawrence P. Hsu has one separately dated, source-stated section about an undated RUHS-hosted Kaiser Riverside residency curriculum; it does not establish a current teaching role or verify clinical claims. Gene Choi now has a dated Riverside Medical Clinic interview-based narrative and named practice-page access note plus a local source-linked preview; these do not verify clinical claims, licensing, current access, or appointment capacity.
Source-supported narrative
An engineering-to-medicine path
Khamsi's practice biography traces his first degree to electrical engineering at UCLA, followed by a change to medicine that he attributes in part to his grandmother's influence. It says he served as administrative chief resident during orthopedic residency and received a Resident Teaching Award from peers. The biography also says he later studied part time for a healthcare MBA to better understand the non-medical side of healthcare and advocate for patients. His practice reports that he traveled to Guadalajara multiple times to perform complex reconstructive surgeries for children with severe spinal deformities; it does not give dates or patient outcomes.
