Dr. Black received his M.D. from the USC School of Medicine in 1996. Upon completing his residency training at Kaiser Permanente's Los Angeles Medical Center, he became board certified in internal medicine in 2001.

He returned to Kaiser, working as a hospitalist at the Riverside Medical Center as well as staffing Kaiser's Urgent Care center in Wildomar.

Recognizing the need for adult primary care in our community, Dr. Black joined an existing medical group in Murrieta in November 2004 and built up a loyal patient base under the Temecula Valley Physicians IPA.

In January 2011, Dr. Black opened his own practice, Valley Internal Physicians, where he continues to offer his training and experience in both hospital- and clinic-based care.
