About me
I moved to Kaneohe, Hawaii with my family when I was one year old and am happy to be able to work and live in the island home that I love.
About my practice
After an early experience with serious illness and the death of a close family member, medicine appealed to me as my life’s work. Initially I chose to work as a primary care physician in internal medicine for the challenge of working in an area of great complexity. I later moved to continuing care in order to work more with our elderly population and to work in the field of palliative care.I am board certified in internal medicine and hospice and palliative medicine and like to keep up with current medical research by reviewing topics in Up-to-Date, Medscape, the Audiodigest, Journal Watch, and other medical journals. I also gave a presentation on palliative care at Grand Rounds in 2012. In the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group I have found great people to work with who are always striving to improve patient care.My philosophy of care is to treat the whole person, not just the disease so I like to connect with my patients by finding out more about them as people. Relating on a more personal level increases the trust that they have in the care I can provide them. Some of my favorite moments in my practice are when my patients are able to let down their guard and share their deeper concerns with me. In addition to English, I speak some French, Spanish, and Japanese.
How I thrive
Exercising, doing yoga, eating a healthful diet, and playing with my kids keep me in balance. Outside of the clinic I also enjoy dancing and hiking.

Kaiser Permanente works together with participating providers to ensure all cultural competence obligations are met. We are dedicated to ensuring that services are provided in a culturally competent manner to all members, including those with limited English proficiency and reading skills; as well as those with diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
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.
