Referral required.
I was born in California to immigrant parents who were attending graduate school at UC Davis. Because I moved to Hawaii with my parents while I was still in elementary school, I consider Hawaii my home.
I was on my way to medical school from the moment I was born. My parents are pharmacists and my uncle was a cardiologist. While I was in medical school, my grandfather suffered a stroke and I was fascinated with his rehabilitation. I have also always been fairly physically active and really enjoy the musculoskeletal aspect of physical medicine and rehabilitation.It is wonderful to work with the supportive and brilliant physicians of the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group. Medical decision-making is done in partnership with the patient, so education regarding disease or injury and treatment options are at the center of each encounter. Sincerity and openness, eye contact, and mutual respect allow me to work together with my patients as we sometimes tackle very difficult problems.
I spend nearly all of my off time with my family. We play together on weekends and get our exercise through karate.

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.
