Did you know that Ko’olauloa Health Center has a board-qualified podiatrist/foot & ankle surgeon on staff?

Yes, we do! Dr. Day runs our podiatry department which offers diagnosis and treatment of all disorders in the lower extremity. Dr. Day’s professional interests include trauma, advanced foot, and ankle reconstruction, podiatric orthopedics, sports medicine, diabetic care, and bunion correction.

Dr. Day believes in treating his patients like family, taking the time necessary to understand their needs. His patient-focused care allows him to work with his patients to achieve their specific goals while employing an evidence-based, yet individualized approach.

Born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu, Dr. Day graduated from Kahuku High School and earned his Bachelor's Degree in Biology at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. He then pursued a Medical degree at Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine. Following graduation, he completed a 3-year podiatric medical and surgical residency at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation/Mercy Regional Health Medical Center in Cleveland Ohio, where he trained under several leaders in the field of podiatric surgery and served as chief resident during his last year.

If you or someone you love is experiencing challenges with their lower extremities, give us a call at (808) 293-9231 or reach out via our website:

- Any swelling or thickening of your breast
- Irritation or dimpling of breast skin
- Redness or flaky skin on your breast
- Pain or pulling in of your nipple
- Nipple discharge (other than milk!)

Did you know that we believe a community's health isn't just measured by access to medical care? It’s true. We believe that physical and mental health are critical elements for improving social well-being. Vibrant public spaces are essential community resources where people come together to play, learn, grow food, exercise, and relax.

At Ko’olauloa Health Center we work with local, public, and private partners to address those needs to improve community health outcomes within the Ko’olauloa area by improving opportunities for physical activity; increasing access to nutritious and affordable food; promoting public safety; and offering high-quality health care services.
