About me

I was born in Seoul, Korea to parents who dreamt of a life full of opportunity. They came to America as foreign students and fell in love with Hawaii. When I was six, we emigrated here and made it our home. I attended Punahou School and feel so fortunate to have grown up in a warm and caring community.
 

I earned my Bachelor of Arts at Yale University, a Master of Science from the University of Hawaii, and my medical degree from the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine. After graduating, I did a transitional year internship at Legacy Health in Oregon and a residency at Oregon Health and Science University in anesthesiology.
 

My parents are my true heroes. They both sacrificed so much to help me pursue my dreams, and I’m forever grateful to them.

About my practice

My mother had hoped to become a physician herself, but life had other plans for her. Watching her pore over her medical text books as I was growing up made a big impression on me, and I ended up following the path she would have taken. Medicine’s a wonderful way to make a positive difference in the world. The field of internal medicine allows me to develop lasting relationships with my patients and to contribute to their well-being through prevention, education, and a holistic approach to treatment.

 

I co-authored a study on video laryngoscopy in an obstetric unit that was published in the journal Anesthesia and Analgesia and was cited online on the PubMed website as well.

 

I stay up-to-date on the latest developments in medicine by taking advantage of technology. I also receive noteworthy publications and practice updates by email, read medical journals, attend professional conferences, participate in continuing medical education programs, and consult my colleagues.

 

Kaiser Permanente’s spirit of excellence, innovation, and concern for its patients, along with the amazing people who work here, were what sold me on becoming part of the Kaiser Permanent Hawaii Internal Medicine Residency Program. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to come to work every day.

 

It’s my view that the physician and patient should be partners working toward a common goal of wellness. Patients deserve to be heard and understood as individuals with rich and complex lives.

How I thrive

Eating a wholesome diet, getting good sleep, unplugging from technology, spending time with family and friends, working out, and being out in Hawaii’s natural beauty all help me to feel my best. In my spare time I also play the piano and practice meditation, yoga, and kickboxing. I enjoy cooking, watching kung fu movies, playing video games, and trying new things. I especially love playing with my son and experiencing the world through his eyes.

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.
