About me
I was born and raised in Hilo and attended a Native Hawaiian boarding school in Honolulu from ages twelve through eighteen. I am fortunate to belong to a large extended family (‘ohana) and am thankful that in addition to receiving my pediatric training here, I am able to practice medicine in Hawaii.
About my practice
I am committed to lifelong learning and enjoy teaching others. My decision to go into medicine was influenced by this commitment and by my devotion to my community. I chose to pursue board certification in both pediatrics and internal medicine because of my desire to care for entire families and still be a specialist in each field. I appreciate that through my work I can make a difference in the health of my own family, my community and in the health of the people of Hawaii. My colleagues are one of the reasons why I enjoy working within the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group. I find them to be bright, caring and genuine people who share a common goal toward improving health care in our society. The physicians and medical staff with whom I work are dedicated to learning, staying current in their fields and to being responsive to change. In addition to my role within Kaiser Permanente, I am honored to be an Assistant Professor with the Imi Ho'ola Post-Baccalaureate Program at the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine. My philosophy of care is centered in relationships. For me there is a significant power in all relationships, be it patient-doctor, doctor-doctor, nurse-doctor or the like, and I teach and practice with this foremost in mind. I believe that healthy relationships can produce excellent experiences for all concerned when nurtured. I value connecting with my patients early on in our professional relationship by finding common ground, and building on this initial connection. With a solid foundation in place, I believe that any health or personal challenges can be addressed and more favorably resolved.
How I thrive
I keep a healthy balance of physical activity and quality time with my ‘ohana. I enjoy water sports and hiking our island trails. I am active with the Polynesian Voyaging Society, and was honored to be part of a fantastic crew on one of the legendary sailing canoe Hokule‘a voyages. And despite my love to stay quite active, there are times when I enjoy doing nothing at all. For me that is time well spent. I really enjoy being in the moment!

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:
- accessible exam rooms and medical equipment;
- 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
- 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.
