About me

I was born in Singapore, grew up in Indonesia and Taiwan, and spent the rest of my childhood in Vancouver, Canada. My family members have been a strong and positive influence on my life. My father was the Chairman of China Steel Corporation, but he always put his family first instead of work. My mother was an engineer, unusual for a woman of her generation. She instilled in me the values of having a diligent work ethic, perseverance, and always doing my best. My grandmother taught me to love nature and to care for all creatures.

I attended the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia for my medical education and completed my general surgery internship and residency at the University of California, Irvine. I underwent additional postgraduate training as a visiting professor at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas. Prior to coming to Hawaii, I held the position of Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of California, Irvine’s School of Medicine, where I taught medical students and trained surgical residents for 20 years.

About my practice

Although several of my immediate family members are engineers, I preferred the softer side of science, interacting with people instead of machines. My decision to enter medicine resulted from my love of biology and a deep desire to care for people. Still, there must’ve been some influence of the family "engineering gene” that led to my decision to become a surgeon, which gives me an opportunity to work with my hands and is both physically and mentally demanding.

I’ve spoken at many breast cancer conferences, survivor groups meetings, grand rounds, and scientific meetings, both nationally and internationally, and have published numerous papers in journals such as the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science, Annals of Surgery, and Breast Cancer Research. Most of my NIH-funded research projects have focused on developing new treatment protocols for breast cancer. My specialized research included working with the Beckman Laser institute on the development of a laser-based breast scanner.

To stay current in medicine, I attend professional meetings and consult with colleagues nationwide. I also benefit from my memberships in the American College of Surgeons, the Pacific Coast Surgical Association, SWOG (formerly Southwest Oncology Group), and the American Society of Breast Surgeons, all of which are educational professional organizations.

My older brother has been a family practice physician at Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) for more than 20 years. I was delighted to join the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group and believe that I have a meaningful part to play in supporting the breast cancer and melanoma programs here.

It’s critically important that my patients trust me and feel comfortable being honest about their needs. I believe in doing my utmost to care for my patients both physically and emotionally. My role is to provide information and then help guide patients to their own decisions about their care. I’m an eternal optimist, and I strive to affect everyone in a positive way.

How I thrive

I try to eat a balanced diet, do some form of exercise every day, and relax my mind whenever I can. Talking to friends, watching movies, dining out, and learning new hobbies all help me to recharge.

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.
