I am thrilled to establish the first of its kind Neuroimmunology and Comprehensive MS Center for Hawaii and the Pacific Regions. This vision is driven by the critical need for particularly for underserved areas on the island where access to advanced care is limited.
Neuroimmunology is a rapidly developing field, and given its complexity, specialized training is key to mastering the management of these disorders. With my interest, training, and experience, I will help bridge that gap including active clinical trial and research in neuroimmunology for the region. The ultimate goal is to become a trusted resource for patients who may otherwise have limited options for managing their conditions.
As I build my practice and learn more about the needs of my patients, 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 Neuroimmunology and Comprehensive MS Center in Hawaii that embodies equity, compassion, and innovation to make a lasting impact on their lives.
The Hawaii Comprehensive MS Center leverages a multidisciplinary approach of specialists physicians to ensure that MS patients get the benefit of a comprehensive holistic approach including:
• Restore function and quality of life
• Addressing pain & motor functions
• Addressing other symptoms such as fatigue, incontinence, insomnia
• Nutrition counseling and general wellness
• Neurorehabilitation PT, OT, Speech
• Cognitive and memory assessments
• Onsite Sleep Study, EEG, EMG
• Onsite 3T MRI, Floro Xray for Spinal Tap
• Onsite IV Infusion Unit
• Onsite MS Research Unit for Clinical Trials & Research Options
Clinical Trials available at Hawaii MS Research Unit

Our team is committed to reducing the disparity in health status of its racial and ethnic minority, rural, low-income, and other underserved populations. We have therefore focused our efforts in caring for underserved, minority, diverse patient populations.
