About me
As an Air Force dependent I lived in various places around the world; however, my family eventually settled down in California, where I went to medical school at Western University of Health Sciences. I then did my psychiatric residency in Hawaii at Tripler Army Medical Center, where I was chief resident in my final year of residency. Hawaii is also where I met my wife, who’s my biggest supporter. We now have a young daughter who keeps us on our toes.
About my practice
Growing up, I always thought about a career in medicine and I was fortunate enough to have experiences that inspired me and reinforced this interest. I’ve always enjoyed helping others, and in psychiatry I feel that I have the opportunity to help my patients when they are going through some of their most difficult times.
To stay current in my field, I attend professional conferences and read various medical journals. I’m also a member of the American Psychiatric Association, which gives me access to the latest developments in my field.
After moving back to Hawaii and becoming familiar with the medical community here, I determined that Hawaii Permanente Medical Group (HPMG) is a great fit for me. The large group practice approach at HPMG allows for close collaboration among HPMG providers, which helps to address all of the patient’s needs—whether physical or emotional.
My goal is to treat each of my patients with respect and to instill in them a feeling of hope and strength. I strive to make sure they feel heard and to understand their unique perspectives so I can work collaboratively with them toward positive change.
How I thrive
To stay fit, I exercise several times a week, either working out at the gym or running at Ala Moana Beach. Following a healthy diet and getting adequate sleep help me be at my best. My favorite pastimes are spending time with my family, photography, cheering on the Lakers, and playing my guitar.

- 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.
