After many years in Seattle and Arizona, I came back home in 2014. I love Hawaii and feel grateful to care for the people in my community..

As an Orthodontist, I love seeing the transformation of one’s smile, function, and confidence. I recall a patient who always wanted to straighten her teeth but could not afford it. Her crooked teeth prevented her from being able to eat comfortably, because the top and bottom teeth did not touch when she chewed. On the day her treatment was finished, she told me I had changed her life and felt so overjoyed.  <and could eat her favorite food? or what was the first thing she wanted to eat?

When not in the office, I enjoy trying new recipes and eating – I love Hawaiian food, sushi as well as Italian and Peruvian cuisine. I also stay active by running and attending fitness classes.
