Dr. Kenson Miyaki
Aloha! My name is Kenson Miyaki. I was born and raised on the island of Oahu. At my practice, I treat patients with foot related issues. After completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, I earned my degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine at the California School of Podiatric Medicine. Thereafter, I completed my residency at St. Barnabas Hospital in New York.
After seven years away from the islands, I moved back to Oahu to provide foot care for people in my community. Please give me a call to schedule an appointment or to discuss any questions you may have on services offered.
