My gender:
Female
I’m accepting new patients. To schedule an appointment, call 844-622-8333 (toll free).
I was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. Growing up, most of my immediate and extended family members were in “helping” careers: doctors, nurses and social workers. I chose a career in medicine because I like science and the philosophy of helping others.
The defining moment which led me towards becoming an Ob/Gyn physician took place in a small town in rural Indiana when I witnessed a birth for the first time. I enjoy taking care of women throughout their entire lifespan, from young girls and teenagers, through adulthood and pregnancy, and then the transition into menopause. I feel that patient care is a privilege and an honor. I am surrounded by a group of excellent partners and support staff within the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group and feel fortunate to be able to work with such an outstanding team.
I stay fit by doing yoga, surfing, and hiking in beautiful Hawaii. I also enjoy traveling the world with my husband and son.

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. 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.
