Meet Dr. DeBoy
Your Partner in Health
Aloha! I'm Dr. DeBoy, and I'm a family medicine resident physician with the University of Hawaii Family Medicine Residency Program, practicing right here in Aiea. I'm passionate about providing comprehensive and compassionate care for individuals and families across the island of Oahu.
My journey in medicine is driven by a fundamental belief: you know your body best. I see my role as your partner in health, dedicated to truly listening to your concerns, providing you with the information you need, and empowering you to make informed decisions about your well-being. I believe that the strongest health outcomes arise from a collaborative approach, where your voice is heard and respected every step of the way.
My training in family medicine has equipped me to care for a wide range of health needs, from newborns (keiki) to our elders (kupuna). I have specific training and interest in managing common chronic conditions such as muscle, joint and bone pain, diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease, as well as in pediatric and adolescent health, women's & men's health, minor procedures and exploring the benefits of lifestyle and preventative medicine. I am also open to discussing complementary approaches to care.
My path to medicine has been shaped by diverse experiences. Growing up on an Indian reservation, serving in the Peace Corps in Senegal for two years, and teaching in urban Oklahoma have instilled in me a deep appreciation for the unique backgrounds and perspectives each individual brings. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and understanding care to all my patients here in Hawaii's diverse community.
As a resident physician, I am continuously learning and working under the guidance of experienced attending physicians at the UHFMRP clinic. I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge and skills to provide you with the highest quality of care.
I am excited to connect with you and your family on your health journey. Please feel free to call the clinic to schedule an appointment. I look forward to meeting you!

FAQs
What is DeBoy Family Medicine?
DeBoy Family Medicine is the personal practice brand of Dr. DeBoy, a resident physician with the University of Hawaii Family Medicine Residency Program (UHFMRP). This website is a space to share my approach to patient-centered care and connect with individuals and families seeking a dedicated primary care physician.
What is OMT?
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on, drug-free approach where your doctor uses a variety of gentle techniques – such as stretching, direct pressure, and mobilization – to diagnose and treat imbalances in your body's muscles, joints, and soft tissues.
The goal of OMT is to restore proper body mechanics, reduce pain, and enhance your body's natural ability to heal. Many patients appreciate OMT because it can provide immediate, noticeable relief right in the office, helping them feel better and move more freely before they even leave. By addressing the root cause of your discomfort, OMT can be a powerful way to alleviate common issues like neck and back pain, headaches, joint stiffness, and muscle spasms, often reducing the need for medication and supporting your overall well-being.

Do you offer alternative or Eastern medicine approaches?
Yes, I am open to discussing and integrating complementary and alternative medicine approaches into your care plan where appropriate and safe.
