Curtis Takemoto-Gentile, MD

Dr. Curtis Takemoto-Gentile is a family physician at Kaimana HealthCare Direct in Honolulu, treating patients from newborns to those over 100 years old. He began his career in academic medicine as an associate professor at the University of Hawaiʻi's John A. Burns School of Medicine before moving into private practice more than 35 years ago.

Dr. Curtis approaches medicine from a functional perspective, looking at how the body is working as a whole rather than treating symptoms in isolation. When he finds areas of dysfunction, he works to restore balance through natural therapies, nutritional support, and prescription medication when it's genuinely needed. His care is shaped around each patient's age and stage of life, since what helps someone in their 30s often isn't what a patient in their 70s needs.

He puts a lot of weight on diet, vitamins, and hormone balance for keeping the body and mind functioning well, and many of his patients reach strong health and vitality without relying on long-term prescriptions.
