About me
I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and am a testimony to the adage, “it takes a village to raise a child." My mother was the centerpiece of my support system, but other family members, friends, neighbors, and teachers have lent helping hands everywhere I've been. For my medical degree I went to Michigan State University College of Human Medicine in East Lansing and did my internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Hawaii’s beauty, diversity, and aloha spirit makes the long distance between here and the Midwest worth it.
About my practice
I knew I wanted to have a career that would allow me to have a significant and beneficial effect on my community. Since I’ve always enjoyed academic challenges, especially in the sciences, medicine seemed like the perfect choice. During my residency I enjoyed stabilizing acute medical crises and being able to help people when they were most afraid. This led me to specialize in hospital medicine.
To stay current in my field and in medicine overall, I read the weekly newsletter put out by the American College of Physicians and access the online resource UpToDate. I also attend professional conferences, participate in continuing medical education programs, and consult colleagues.
At the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group I found a team of dedicated and supportive physicians who demonstrate great leadership and concern for their teams and colleagues. Up-to-date technology and helpful support staff also contribute to making this a great place to practice medicine. The positive relationships among all of the staff members involved in the hospitalization process allow us to work as a team and ensure seamless care for our patients.
I believe that illness is influenced by a person’s life situation. Knowing more about a patient’s experiences helps me to develop the most appropriate and timely care plan.
How I thrive
In my leisure time I take long walks and go on scenic hikes, prepare colorful meals, watch movies, pray, meditate, and read self-help books. I enjoy traveling and learning about the culture and history of those places, and I enjoy meeting fellow travelers. My highest priority is spending quality time with my family. Sharing my feelings helps me to release any stress I might feel and results in more meaningful and nurturing relationships with the important people in my life.

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.
