I am thrilled to lead the first of its kind Neuromuscular program with focus on Neuroimmunology in Hawaii and the Pacific Regions. This vision is driven by the critical need for specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders, particularly in underserved areas where access to advanced care is limited. My vision is to create a center of excellence that serves patients with neuromuscular disorders especially related to immune system.

With the development of new therapeutic targets and approval of new medications to treat these disorders, this field is rapidly evolving and gaining complexity. Thus, I plan to leverage the expertise gained during my dual fellowship in neuromuscular and neuroimmunology to tackle this. The development of a multidisciplinary team will be key with physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and social workers to build a strong and comprehensive care network for our patients. This team will ensure that our patients receive not only top-notch medical care but also holistic support for their physical and emotional well-being.

My commitment to research and clinical trials to expand the horizons of available treatments and enhance the quality of care we provide. The ultimate goal is to become a trusted resource for patients who may otherwise have limited options for managing their neuromuscular conditions. I would empower our patients through conferences and QA panel discussions, actively collaborate with local & national organizations to raise awareness and empower individuals to take control of their conditions.
My vision is to create a Neuromuscular Center in Hawaii that embodies equity, compassion, and innovation to make a lasting impact on their lives.
