Our Logo

There are four pictograms depicted in the logo. The double waves of the ocean reflecting our Pacific Ocean, molar symbolizing our unique profession, the lava erupting from the center of the molar with an embedded curvature of Pele as an homage to Kona’s volcanic history. Altogether the image is a pineapple to reflect our island lifestyle and Dr. Li’s wife’s favorite fruit.
