Here, Dr. Roberts didn't just perform the tasks of a caregiver; she immersed herself in the lives of her residents, treating conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s to Down syndrome with a level of care that went beyond the physical. Through shared decision-making, laughter, and activities like swimming and healthy cooking, she fostered a deeply empowering and collaborative environment. This experience crystallized her belief in the profound impact of small, collaborative changes on health and wellbeing.

Now, with nearly eight years as a resident of Hawaii and over a thousand patients treated, Dr. Roberts has woven herself into the fabric of her community. Her approach to care is characterized by a deep-seated compassion and a commitment to go above and beyond in her practice, ensuring not just rapid improvements but lasting health transformations.
