About me

I was born in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. At age five I moved with my family to Massachusetts, where I grew up. I returned to the Islands for college and decided to make Hawaii my home once again. My dad has always been an inspiration to me. When he was 19 years old, he was working as a printer in Indiana, and although he was a good worker, he lost his job to a college graduate. Determined, he overcame his previous disinterest in school, went off to college himself, and ultimately became an associate dean at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I have always admired his perseverance. In addition to my education, I worked at various jobs in my teens and twenties. I think that this real world experience was as valuable as school because it gave me a better understanding of diverse groups and people.

About my practice

I have always enjoyed the sciences. I became interested in health and nutrition in my twenties and decided to go into medicine soon after that. I find internal medicine interesting because it is wide-ranging—I like to consider how all of the body’s systems interact with each other to result in health or illness. I also like to look at the individual as a whole, taking into account the effects of nutritional status, exercise habits, and environmental factors. My favorite interaction with my patients is simply talking with them and advising them on health issues. I believe that most patients are capable of making good choices about their care and health. I respect their decisions and encourage them to take as much ownership of their situations as possible.I believe that Kaiser Permanente exemplifies a highly effective care delivery model, where the values and objectives are based on providing high quality health care. Our model focuses on the patient first and foremost, which I believe should be a standard in health care delivery.

How I thrive

Hawaii is an ideal home for me as I enjoy participating in numerous outdoor water sports, including surfing, kayaking, and stand up paddling. I also enjoy slacklining (similar to tightrope walking at a lower height), reading, and spending time with my family.

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.
