About me

I was born in Pines Lake, New Jersey – in a log cabin built in the 1920s on a lake in a close-knit community where families took care of each other. My parents, grandparents, and our extended family got together for many activities, including lake life, sailing, hiking, music, and travel.

 

I went to medical school at MCP Hahnemann University School of Medicine in Pennsylvania (now Drexel University College of Medicine). I did my internship and residency at the Oregon Health & Science University’s Cascades East Family Medicine Program, a rural clinic. I’m board certified in family medicine.

 

It’s been quite a while since my wife and I moved to Hawaii, where we have multiple family members. I’m very happy to be raising my children on Maui, a community that reminds me of where I grew up. 

 

About my practice

 

Being a physician allows me to combine my passion for science with the art of healing. In family medicine, we meet people of all ages from different walks of life and often treat multiple generations in one family. Family doctors live many lives in one day through the eyes of our patients.

 

To keep up with the latest developments in medicine, I read medical journals, use online clinical tools, attend live continuing medical education events, and learn from my patients, my medical students, and colleagues.  It’s also a pleasure teaching and mentoring medical students to help build the next generation of doctors who’ll hopefully stay in Hawaii.

 

Hawaii Permanente Medical Group has created a network of bright, energetic people and provides the tools and systems to support high-quality care delivery. Physicians, clinicians, and staff come together to help patients achieve and maintain optimal health. In my experience, HPMG is committed to innovation and readily adapts to changes in health care. 

 

My international experiences – including living and studying in India, volunteering in Israel, working in New Zealand, and working in the Cayman Islands after Hurricane Ivan – have deepened my understanding of how family, social environment, and culture can influence a patient’s health. My goal is to care for the whole person and help patients achieve overall well-being – not simply the absence of illness. As the saying goes, “It’s more important to know what sort of patient has a disease than what sort of disease a patient has.”

 

I consider myself a guest in my patients’ lives. It’s an honor to be allowed to know them and act as a guide as they heal from illness, manage chronic conditions, and work to maintain their health. Sometimes, offering comfort to reduce their suffering, telling a helpful story, or lending an ear or shoulder can help in the healing process. 

 

How I thrive

 

In my spare time, I enjoy playing the guitar, ukulele, and piano, and writing songs and poetry. To keep my life in balance, I bike to work, swim, enjoy ocean life snorkeling, kayaking, scuba,  practice yoga, meditate, write, and read. I recharge by spending time both alone and with my wonderful wife and three daughters as well as our extended family. I enjoy eating Indian food and sushi, going to community events, traveling, and playing games with family and friends.

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.
