About me

I’m originally from Ukraine and attended medical school at Bogomolets National Medical University in the capital city of Kiev. After that, I did advanced training in cardiology in Paris, where I met my husband. We then came to the U.S., where I did an internal medicine internship and residency at the Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling, West Virginia, and became certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

 

My son is a student and musician in San Diego, my daughter is a scientist at the University of California, San Diego, and my husband’s now a retired engineer. When we came to Hawaii on vacation, we fell in love with the islands, the people, and the way of life.

About my practice

In school, I was always fascinated with biology, anatomy, and physiology, so I naturally took the path leading to a career in medicine. Internal medicine was my specialty of choice because it requires the physician to understand how all of the bodily systems interact and affect each other, which is endlessly interesting to me. My other professional interest is in echocardiography.

 

I’ve given presentations on hospital medicine, the patient-centered medical home, and perioperative medicine (care given before, during, and after surgery) at conferences sponsored by the Hawaii and West Virginia chapters of the American College of Physicians. Recently, I co-authored a research report on the effect of blood pressure on mental status that was published in BMJ Case Reports.

 

To stay current on developments in medicine, I test myself using review questions put out by the American College of Physicians. I also access the online resource UpToDate as well as the websites of the Journal of Cardiology, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, for which I’m a fellow. My membership in the American College of Physicians provides me with the latest information in my field, and being assistant professor at the University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine helps to keep me at the top of my game.

 

The culture, traditions, and people at Hawaii Permanente Medical Group are what drew me to this organization. It’s a pleasure to work among such highly skilled and dedicated professionals.

 

It’s important for physicians to provide sufficient and clear information to their patients so that they can work in partnership when making decisions about treatment. I enjoy talking to my patients about their travels, hobbies, and past experiences. It’s rewarding to see them leave the hospital happy with their care.

How I thrive

To stay healthy and physically fit, I exercise, scuba and free dive, meditate, and laugh. I like to do outdoor activities whenever I can, such as helping out in beach cleanups with dive clubs. I also enjoy photography, Argentine tango, and travel.

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.
