About me

I was born in Santa Rosa, California and grew up in Utah. I went to college at the University of California, Santa Cruz and to medical school at St. George's University in Grenada. I then did residency training at the University of California, Irvine and a fellowship at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.


During my training I received several awards, including the Kaiser Permanente Surgery Resident of the Year award, a trauma resident award, an award for humanism in surgery, and a teaching award.


I’d visited friends in Hawaii over the years and was drawn to the culture, the food, and the respect for the 'aina that pervades the islands. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to live and work here permanently.

About my practice

When I was in high school, my father retired early because of illness. My mother became a nurse and introduced me to the many career options in medicine. Her encouragement and my fondness for math, science, and problem-solving, along with a desire to help others, pointed me directly to medical school.


My specialty incorporates vascular medicine, minimally invasive endovascular surgery, and open vascular surgery. I enjoy the range of procedures entailed in my work, the constantly evolving new technology, and the long-term relationships that I develop with patients.


I’m certified in both general surgery and vascular surgery and am especially interested in peripheral and carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms, dialysis access, and varicose veins. My research, publications, and presentations have covered topics in these areas.


To stay up-to-date in my field, I belong to several professional associations such as the Society for Vascular Surgery, the Endovascular and Vascular Surgery Society, the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery, the American Venous Forum, and the American Medical Association.

How I thrive

Physical and emotional health go hand in hand. I try to engage in some activity every day such as surfing or bodyboarding, biking, hiking, fishing, or playing baseball. I also love spending the day at the beach with my family, taking in the beauty of Oahu, traveling, visiting the mountains, and snowboarding.

The information in this online directory is updated at least monthly. The availability of physicians, hospitals, providers, and services may change. To report an error, please call 1-800-966-5955 or email us.

Medicare Members: To request a hard copy of Kaiser Permanente’s provider directory, please call our Member Services department at 1-800-805-2739, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Kaiser Permanente will mail a hard copy of the provider directory to you within three (3) business days of your request.

If you request it, your request for hard copies of the provider directory remains until you leave Kaiser Permanente or request that hard copies be discontinued.

Kaiser Permanente works together with participating providers to ensure all cultural competence obligations are met. We are dedicated to ensuring that services are provided in a culturally competent manner to all members, including those with limited English proficiency and reading skills; as well as those with diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

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. If you would like more current information on a practitioner's license, call either the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Consumer Resource Center at (808) 587-3295 or visit their website, or call the Kaiser Permanente Customer Service Center at (808) 432-5955 (Oahu) or 1-800-966-5955 (toll free, neighbor islands).
