Dr. Remi A.G. Tokunaga was born and raised on the island of Oahu. She attended Sacred Hearts Academy School and later attended and graduated from University of Hawaii at Manoa with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Biology. While earning her Bachelor's degree, Dr. Tokunaga interned at Hawaii Vision Associates with Dr. Robb Shibayama, who she and her family grew-up seeing for their vision and eye care. After graduating from the University of Hawaii at Manoa she attended and graduated from Midwestern University, Chicago College of Optometry, earning a Doctor of Optometry degree. After graduation, Hawaii Vision Associates welcomed their once intern back with open arms.
In her free time, Dr. Remi A.G. Tokunaga enjoys spending time with her family. Dr. Tokunaga is one of eight children and reports having a close relationship to each sibling. Interesting factoid about Dr. Tokunaga; she grew-up working in her family's dental office. Her father, mother, and two of her siblings are dentists. Though it would've been easier for Dr. Tokunaga to go into the family business, she worked hard to pave her way into the eye care world and is now the only optometrist in her entire family! Hawaii Vision Associates is honored and thrilled that Dr. Tokunaga has joined our family.
