Dr. Gary Blum

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Gary "Kiki" Takashiro Blum graduated from roosevelt High School in 1993. He earned his undergraduate degree from the university of Michigan with highest distinction in 1996, and subsequently returned home to the university of Hawai'i for Medical School and Orthopedic Surgery residency. He completed a one-year research fellowship during the course of residency, and has presented his research at numerous local and national orthopedic meetings. Following residency, he traveled to San Antonio, Texas, where he completed a one-year fellowship in Hand, Upper Extremity, and reconstructive Microsurgery.

He was blessed to have worked with Dr. David Green and Dr. William C. Pederson, both giants in their respective fields. Dr. Blum then chose to supplement his training with an additional fellowship in Congenital Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas, where he worked with two more spectacular mentors: Dr. Marybeth Ezaki and another local boy, Dr. Scott Oishi.

Dr. Blum has spent time as a visiting resident and fellow at several programs across the country, including Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA and Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. He also had the good fortune of traveling internationally through orthopedic outreach programs; first to the South Pacific (Fiji, Western & American Samoa) with Shriners Hospital for Children, then Vietnam (Saigon, Hue, and Hanoi) with Orthopedics Overseas and the American Academy for Surgery of the Hand.

Dr. Blum, his wife Shawn and their four children Siana, Brady, Kaya, and Bella are thrilled to be back home in Hawaii with family and friends. He enjoys trail running, hiking with his family and soaking up the beauty of Hawaii. He is happy to assist you with any hand, elbow, shoulder and general orthopedic concerns.
