Nora is also the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Pacific Coast Medical Review, a platform that showcases the rich tapestry of medical narratives from the West Coast.
Her latest book, "Bridges of Healing: Journeys with my Patients," delves into the unique experiences of patients from diverse backgrounds within the U.S. healthcare system, focusing on those who have made San Francisco their home. In addition to this work, Nora has authored two collections of essays: "Unexpected Discoveries: Insights from My Patients in the Art of Medicine" and "Intimate Encounters: A Doctor's Journey at SFGH." She also curated the anthology "Voices from the Pacific Coast."
Nora's writings have graced the pages of the San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and The British Medical Journal (BMJ). Her work has been broadcast on National Public Radio. She was honored with the California Writers Exchange Award for her essay "San Francisco Bay," chosen by Jane Goodall for "Best American Essays 2023." Her piece "Unity in Diversity" was selected by Atul Gawande for "Best American Science Writing 2024." Another essay, "Enduring Vows," earned her a place in "Best American Essays 2025," as picked by Mary Roach. Nora received the 2024 John P. McGovern Award for her outstanding contributions to medical communication from the American Medical Writers Association.
Nora is currently crafting a series of essays exploring the intersection of medicine and society, while a few partially completed novels collect dust under her desk in her cozy home office. Nora lives in a charming Victorian house in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood with her partner, two kids, a piano, and a golden retriever named Sunny.
