About me

I was born and raised in Southern California. After graduating from high school, I briefly lived on Oahu with friends. That experience left me with a lasting love of the islands, and I knew that one day I’d be back. I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science at California Polytechnic University in Pomona, and my Doctor of Optometry at Interamerican University of Puerto Rico School of Optometry in San Juan.

 

When I was growing up, my parents were wonderful role models and a strong influence in my life. My mother’s perseverance and determination to achieve her goals, and my father’s strong work ethic, have helped to make me what I am today. 

About my practice

Early on in life, I discovered that I truly enjoyed one-on-one interaction. A career as a medical provider, I realized, would allow me to have these experiences and at the same time contribute to people’s quality of life. My inspiration to pursue optometry came from a fabulous optometrist who made a big impression on me in my childhood. It’s extremely gratifying to be in a position to improve someone’s vision, and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to help others in this way.

 

To keep up-to-date with the latest developments in my field, I attend professional optometry conferences, read the journals released by optometry organizations, and consult with colleagues.

 

I had previously worked at Kaiser Permanente in the Southern California region, and I was therefore familiar with the collegial, supportive climate in this organization and its overall mission to deliver compassionate, high-quality patient care. When the time was right for my family to make a move, the islands were calling, and I knew that Hawaii Permanente Medical Group was the place I wanted to be.

 

I believe in giving patients my full attention, listening closely to their concerns, and reassuring them that their well-being is my highest priority. I want them to feel comfortable taking whatever time is necessary to ask their questions and understand my answers. The wide age range among those I see in my practice mirrors the ages of the people in my immediate and extended families. This reminds me to treat each of my patients as I’d want my family members to be treated. 

How I thrive

To stay physically healthy and fit, I go surfing and bodyboarding. For my mind and mood, I balance spiritual pursuits, recreation, quality time with family and friends, and community service with the Girl Scouts of America. In addition, traveling and experiencing different cultures broadens my perspectives on 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:

  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.
