About me

I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and was fortunate to grow up in this beautiful place. I left the islands to go to the State University of New York at Downstate College of Medicine for my medical degree and to do my internal medicine internship and residency at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Although I enjoyed living on the mainland, I was happy to return home to live and have the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of the people in the community where I grew up.

About my practice

I decided to pursue a career in medicine because it allows me to be of service to others. Being able to help people in times of their greatest needs is the most rewarding experience I could have hoped for. It’s truly an honor to be entrusted with the care of patients and their families. I was drawn to hospital medicine as a specialty because it combines personal interaction with the intellectual challenge of investigating complex medical conditions that sometimes involve several different organ systems.

To keep up-to-date with current medical research, I read professional journal articles, participate in continuing medical education programs, and attend local and national medical conferences.

At a meeting of the Society of Hospital Medicine, I gave a presentation on the effect of preoperative anemia on blood transfusion requirements in joint replacement surgery. I also spoke about the fungal infection known as valley fever at a regional meeting of the American College of Physicians.

It’s a pleasure to be part of the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group. Everyone at Kaiser Permanente is helpful and welcoming, which makes for an excellent support system and an ideal place to practice medicine.

It’s a great privilege to be allowed to work as a physician. Each and every patient should be treated with the respect that we’d want for ourselves and our own loved ones. Spending time talking to my patients and their families are some of my favorite parts of patient care.

How I thrive

In my spare time away from work I relax and unwind by practicing yoga and spending quality time with family and friends.

Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities

Kaiser Permanente is committed to providing accessible facilities, services, and programs for all members, visitors and individuals with disabilities. In compliance with federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination based on disability, Kaiser Permanente provides:

  1. accessible exam rooms and medical equipment;
  2. free auxiliary aids and services to ensure effective communication with individuals with hearing, vision, cognitive, and/or communication-related disabilities, including qualified sign language interpreter services and informational materials in alternative formats (large print, audio tape/CDs, accessible PDFs or Microsoft Word documents, electronic texts/disks/CD-ROMS, and Braille); and
  3. access to service animals, except where the animal poses a significant health or safety risk(s) to others.

For more information about access to a specific facility or provider, or if you believe that Kaiser Permanente has failed to provide appropriate access or services or otherwise discriminated on the basis of a disability, please contact Member Services toll-free 1-800-966-5955 or TTY 711, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. or Saturday, 8 a.m. – noon. You may also contact or file a grievance with the Kaiser Permanente Civil Rights Coordinator in person, by mail, fax or email at: 711 Kapiolani Blvd, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, civil-rights-coordinator@kp.org, or toll-free 1-800-966-5955, TTY 711.

The availability and use of the Kaiser Permanente grievance procedure does not prevent a person from filing a complaint of discrimination on the basis of disability with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights or the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission.

Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.

A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.

Information about a practitioner is provided to us by the practitioner or is obtained as part of the credentialing process.
