About me

I was born in Honolulu and feel very fortunate to have lived and studied here my entire life. I went to medical school at the University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine, where I also did my internship and residency in internal medicine.

About my practice

I’ve always been fascinated by the basic sciences, especially biology and chemistry, and I also wanted to use my knowledge to help others. I decided to become a primary care physician because I enjoy interacting with people on a daily basis and establishing long-term relationships. To stay up-to-date on medical issues, I read medical journals, participate in continuing medical education programs, and attend professional conferences. When I was a medical student, I presented a poster that examined the relationship between fat intake and dementia at an American Geriatrics Society conference. It’s a pleasure to work with the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group because of its emphasis on primary care. The close coordination of my practice with specialty care and hospital care gives me access to the information and resources I need to take the best care of my patients. Great technology and excellent support staff are also a huge help in creating an atmosphere that allows providers to focus on the patients and their needs. My philosophy is that a healthy lifestyle is the best medicine. Although pills and other treatments may be needed, a balanced diet and a regular exercise program can greatly enhance the effectiveness of these medications. One of the most rewarding aspects of practicing as a physician is bonding with my patients by listening to their stories, striving to understand their beliefs and values, and making sure they have all the information they need to make decisions about their health.

How I thrive

To stay healthy, I snorkel at Hanauma Bay and swim at the pool or beach. Cutting back on watching television has given me more time to exercise, cook healthy food, and sleep – the TV stays off unless I’m on my stationary bike! For relaxation, I enjoy spending time with my family, singing karaoke with friends, and watching musicals, both on film and at local community theaters.

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.
