Direct Primary Care
Healthcare like you’ve never experienced. Healthcare you deserve.
Meet Donna Mayeda
Donna is a primary care doctor from California who followed her heart—and her taste buds—all the way to Hawai’i. Drawn in by the islands’ aloha spirit, warm community, and onolicious food, she made her home in Kane’ohe, where her partner of 20+ years, Michael, was born and raised. Together, they’re raising three spirited (and irresistibly adorable) kids, plus one 90-lb German Shepherd named Link—yes, like the hero from Legend of Zelda.
A lifelong Star Wars fan, Donna finds her balance through yoga and finds joy in sharing good food with her favorite people. Her bucket list includes scoring a goal in a real game (even though she doesn't play soccer) and riding the tube (even though she doesn’t surf)—proof that a sense of humor and adventure are always close by.
Disheartened by a healthcare system that often puts profit over people, Donna is passionate about practicing medicine the way it should be—free from insurance hurdles, endless paperwork, and burnout. She believes in real connections, compassionate care, and helping people reach their own vision of health—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
She’s board-certified in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine—and she can’t wait to meet you. Reach out anytime and may the force be with you!
What is Direct Primary Care?
Can we be real here? Traditional, insurance-based healthcare just isn’t working. It’s designed to put money into the pockets of company shareholders more than to help real people get real care. What gets lost is the actual relationship between doctor and patient - and no one actually gets healthier.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a different path—one that centers on transparency, access, and real connection. With DPC, you can reach Donna like you would a trusted friend—no phone trees, no insurance black holes, no 7-minute-visits-scheduled-3-months-before just to hear “Some documentation error occurred. Let’s schedule a follow-up visit in another 3 months.”
It’s healthcare without the middleman. The focus is 100% on you and not on checking boxes or chasing billing codes. It’s not just a better model. It’s the one that lets me practice medicine the way it was meant to be—and the way you deserve.
