About me

I was born in Louisiana but grew up in Mississippi and California. I went to the University of California, Berkeley for my undergraduate degree and University of California, San Diego for medical school. I did an internship at Mount Sinai Cabrini Medical Center in New York, a residency at Harbor-UCLA where I served as chief resident, and a fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. I’m now certified in diagnostic and interventional radiology.

 

Since I was 10 years old, I took yearly trips to Hawaii with my family, and when the opportunity arose to live and work in this special place, I couldn’t turn it down.

About my practice

Medicine seemed like the ideal profession, as it’s a marriage of science and personal connection. A medical school roommate inspired me to go into interventional radiology when he told me, late in his training, that if he could do it over again, this is the field he’d choose.


Some of my other professional interests include prostate artery embolization – which is a non-invasive procedure to close off the blood supply to tumors – and vertebral augmentation, which stabilizes fractures of the spine. My research on embolization in the thoracic duct was published in the journal Seminars in Interventional Radiology.


Physicians must listen closely to their patients, recognizing that every situation is unique and tailoring their advice to meet each individual’s needs and preferences.


I attend professional conferences, read interventional radiology journals, and take in online clinical resources to help me to stay abreast of current medical research and developments. Being affiliated with the Society of Interventional Radiology also keeps me in the loop on advancements in my field.


When I was exploring the possibility of working with Hawaii Permanente Medical Group, the people I met there seemed to genuinely care about each other and the well-being of their community. I was also impressed with the safe and high-quality care they provided, especially in the radiology area, and I was delighted to become a part of such an exceptional organization.

How I thrive

To stay fit and happy, I exercise in the outdoors—swimming, running, and hiking— preferably with my wife, dog, and friends. I also play guitar and aim to follow a healthy vegetarian diet.

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.
