Dr. Ambily Kushal, RD, MS, PhD is licensed in Hawaii and sees patients across the state by secure video. Nineteen years reversing diabetes, gut disorders and metabolic disease at the root — with food, not guesswork. Insurance accepted, or book directly for $140.
Plans Dr. Ambily works with for patients in Hawaii include:
Medical nutrition therapy is a covered benefit on many of these plans, and a good number of patients pay nothing out of pocket. Session limits and cost-sharing vary, so coverage is checked against your own plan before anything is booked — no surprise bills afterwards.
No coverage, or a plan that will not pay? Book directly for $140 a visit: same clinician, no benefits check, no prior authorization.
Every plan is built from your history, your labs and your life — not a handout. See how she works.
Hawaii keeps Hawaii–Aleutian Time. Hawaii does not observe daylight saving, so it sits two hours behind Dr. Ambily's Pacific practice hours in winter and three in summer — her later appointments land early in your day.
Patients book from across the state, including Honolulu, Pearl City, Hilo, Kailua and Kaneohe. Visits are held over secure video, so where you live in Hawaii makes no difference to the care.
