About me
I was born in Baltimore while my father, a 16th-generation physician, was completing his residency. North Carolina would eventually become home when my father moved there for his fellowship in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery.
Our family's roots trace back to Taiwan, where my ancestors began as "barefoot doctors." Surrounded by my father's dedication and our family's long tradition in medicine, pursuing a career in health care always felt like a natural path.
On my first visit to Hawaii, after stepping off the plane on Oahu, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and joy – I knew immediately that this was home. From that moment, I focused all my goals on returning to Hawaii to live and practice.
I earned my medical degree from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill and completed my internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of North Carolina Medical Center. I chose to do my fellowship in hematology and oncology at the University of Michigan Medical Center because of its strong training in both academic and community settings, which I knew would prepare me well to practice medicine in the islands.
About my practice
Although I'm board-certified in medical oncology and hematology and see a wide range of diagnoses, my subspecialty focus and interest is breast cancer. I collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams so that every patient receives comprehensive, coordinated care tailored to their needs. I'm also committed to expanding access to innovative therapies through clinical trials. I currently serve as the lead principal investigator for all of Kaiser Permanente's hematology and oncology clinical trials in Hawaii.
As chief of the Hematology and Oncology Department, I'm proud to work alongside a team of dedicated, expert clinicians. I actively participate in our Excellence in Cancer Care Program, serve as faculty for the Kaiser Permanente Hawaii Internal Medicine Residency Program, and act as a voting member of the Kaiser Permanente Oncology Clinical Trials Program (KPOCT). I'm also a member of national cooperative research groups, including SWOG, the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, and NRG Oncology – leading organizations that design and conduct cancer clinical trials nationwide as part of the National Cancer Institute's National Clinical Trials Network. Through these collaborations, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii offers patients access to cutting-edge, research-driven cancer care.
I hold a master's degree in clinical research and actively pursue my passion for advancing science. I’ve been an active co-author to several recent research abstracts, poster presentations and scientific publications in national meetings and peer-reviewed journals.
How I thrive
Gratitude is at the center of how I live. I stay grounded by spending quality time with my family and friends, and I enjoy the outdoors and nature as a way to recharge. I'm also committed to giving back – especially to my parents – who made profound sacrifices so that I could have these opportunities.

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.

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.
