About me

An Orange County, California native, I earned my bachelor’s degree in molecular toxicology from the University of California, Berkeley. I then went on to obtain my medical degree from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in Pennsylvania followed by residency training at HCA Houston Healthcare West, an affiliate of the Texas Medical Center – the largest health science center in the world. During my residency, I performed more than 2,000 procedures and gained extensive experience across all areas of foot and ankle surgery. After completing residency, I pursued fellowship training at University of Texas Health San Antonio, home to the Texas Diabetes Institute, the world’s largest diabetic health center – where my clinical focus was on Charcot foot reconstruction, orthopaedic plastic surgery, and functional limb salvage.

 

I’m a board-certified podiatrist, serving as a diplomate of the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and board-qualified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. I’m also an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Podiatric Medical Association, the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, the Association of Extremity Nerve Surgeons, and the Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society.

 

My connection to Hawaii developed over many years through frequent visits with close friends and family. Over time, the islands became a second home, making my decision to eventually put down roots here feel both natural and fitting. I enjoy serving our island community and helping patients get back on their feet.

 

About my practice

 

My philosophy is to treat every patient as I would my own family and friends. I’ve seen firsthand how restoring foot and ankle function can transform a person’s mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. I believe in helping patients fully understand their diagnosis and working collaboratively to develop treatment plans that align with their symptoms, lifestyle, and activity goals.

 

My clinical interests include general podiatry, reconstructive limb salvage and deformity correction, orthopaedic plastic surgery, advanced wound care, hyperbaric medicine, and the treatment of diabetic foot conditions such as ulcers, osteomyelitis, and Charcot neuroarthropathy.

 

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve lectured at national and regional conferences and have published research on limb-salvage reconstruction, gait biomechanics, and the prevention of diabetic foot complications.

 

How I thrive

 

In my spare time, I enjoy staying active through activities such as hiking, kayaking, and other ocean sports. I also make time for personal interests including reading, cooking, scale modeling, and traveling with family and friends – all of which help keep me grounded, energized, and engaged.

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.
