Meet the Veterinarians of Haiku Veterinary Clinic in Kaneohe! We’re pleased to provide exceptional vet care for your pets!
Please call us at (808) 235-6405 to speak to one of our caring veterinary staff members!
After graduating Kamehameha Schools, Dr. Elison attended Oklahoma State University for three years to study in their pre-medical science program. Afterward, she spent a year in Washington State University’s veterinary program before transferring to the University of Illinois for her last three years of veterinary training. Having earned two Bachelor’s degrees in pre-medical science and her veterinary degree, Dr. Elison married her husband and returned to Hawaii. In her “free” time during her first pregnancy, Dr. Elison organized and opened Haiku Veterinary Clinic in 1977.
Dr. Elison loves to see people, pets, and families grow together over the years. Working with enthusiastic people and solving problems together is the ultimate reward for her. Medically, she’s passionate about integrating Eastern remedies, like acupuncture and herbal medicine, and state-of-the-art treatments like cold laser therapy into the clinic’s care regimen. She finished Colorado State University’s Veterinary Acupuncture program in 2002, and completed the Chi Institute’s Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine course in 2013.
Dr. Elison and her husband Ed have three grown daughters; two live in Hawaii and one lives in Wexford, Ireland. When she has time, Dr. Elison loves to travel, take international trips, and meet up with friends and family whenever possible. At home, Dr. Elison and her husband keep two dogs and a cockatoo. Their cat, Tigger, lives here at the clinic.
Outside of her clinic duties, most of Dr. Elison’s interests still revolve around animals. She is a member of the Aloha State Dressage Society of 2017, and is the immediate past-President of the Hawaii Veterinary Medical Association. She’s also associated with the Kailua Hawaiian Civic Club, which works to provide curatorship of the ancient Ulupo Heiau temple in Oahu.
Dr. Chung was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He completed his undergraduate studies at California Polytechnic State University, then went on to graduate with honors from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
In 2013, Dr. Chung and his family moved to Oahu and he decided to introduce himself to the local professional veterinary community. When Dr. Sharman Elison gave him a tour of the facility and discussed Haiku Veterinary Clinic’s philosophy and mission, Dr. Chung was blown away. He was so impressed that he started working here immediately afterward!
Dr. Chung and his wife, Sena, live with their young son Benny. Sena works as the fiscal manager at the non-profit Pae Pae O He’eia, which helps restore and maintain the He’eia fishpond in Oahu and gives back to the community. In his time away from the clinic, Dr. Chung enjoys spending time with his family, playing the guitar, going to the beach, and riding motorcycles.
