About me
I was born in China but grew up in New England. My parents have always supported my goals and have been my greatest inspiration and role models. They instilled in me the importance of caring for others and of having a strong work ethic. My grandmother taught me that medicine is a rewarding and humbling profession and stressed that caring for the whole patient can be more important than curing an illness.
I attended the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and did my internal medicine internship and dermatology residency at the Rhode Island Hospital/Brown University, where I was chief resident. My first visit to Hawaii felt like a homecoming. My husband and I knew this would be an amazing place to build a life, and we decided to follow our hearts!
About my practice
Dermatology is an incredibly exciting and rewarding field. I’m able to diagnose and treat skin cancers, rashes, and help patients with nail and hair problems. I was fascinated to learn that certain rashes on the skin can offer clues to underlying cancers and illnesses that may have not otherwise been diagnosed. Plus, my field allows me to work with both adults and children and to help them not only manage their skin diseases but also to prevent skin cancers and to feel good about their skin—what's not to love?
I’ve presented and published on a wide range of topics, such as atopic dermatitis/eczema, skin tumors during pregnancy, and various skin cancers.
To stay current in medicine, I attend dermatology meetings, read scientific journals, follow the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Medical Association online newsletters, and consult colleagues.
When I visited the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group I felt so welcomed and knew that this was a place where I could thrive personally and professionally. I was impressed with the collegiality and feel privileged to be selected to join the other physicians in our joint effort to serve and care for the people of Hawaii.
I value the importance of educating my patients so that they can take better care of their skin and understand their diagnoses and treatment options. Listening to my patients and building partnerships with them allows me to advocate for them and guide them in choosing a course of care that suits their needs.
How I thrive
I’m fortunate to have a network of family and friends who keep me happy and healthy. I enjoy active sports, such as running, hiking, paddle-boarding, swimming, and SCUBA diving. My husband and I love spending time with our French Bulldog “Potato,” checking out new restaurants, dancing to bachata and salsa, traveling (we went to 17 national parks in 2016!), and sitting on the beach eating fresh poke.

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:
- accessible exam rooms and medical equipment;
- 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
- 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.
