The committee’s emergency physician’s seat has been vacant since July 2008, when Dr. Vicki Mazzorana resigned because she was relocating out-of-state. Dr. Schuller was the sole respondent to the county’s newspaper ad announcing the vacancy. This appointment would be for the balance of Dr. Mazzorana’s term, expiring March 31, 2012.
Currently, Dr. Schuller is a staff physician at Seton Medical Center in Daly City, where he also serves as the assistant medical director of the emergency department.
Dr. Schuller holds a medical degree from the University of Minnesota and completed his internship as well as his residency in emergency medicine at the University of Southern California.
Throughout his career, Dr. Schuller has practiced emergency medicine under various circumstances, including at Kaiser-Permanente in Honolulu; Gallup Indian Medical Center in Gallup, New Mexico; and at San Mateo Medical Center (1993-1995).
In 2007, he was the “on tour” physician for the San Francisco Symphony.
Dr. Schuller’s experiences in medicine as well as health care administration will be assets to this committee and to the county.
