We are Hawaii's first & premier facility for brain enhancement and restoration.
We are committed to prioritizing your brain health needs and performance goals. Our goal - help you feel, sleep, think and perform better as quickly as possible.
Personalizing your healthcare leads to optimal health and performance.
Having worked with thousands of toddlers, children, teens and adults of all ages, Dr. Keifer has developed an acute understanding of brain health, developmental trajectories, and predictors of success and peak performance.
Our passion and day-to-day focus is helping the people we work with achieve health and success - from symptomatic to health, health to peak performance.
We aim to improve your quality of life, achieve your goals, and optimize your body to live your best life possible.
How well you function in daily life is the barometer of brain health. This includes smart decision making, interacting successfully with others, solving problems, emotional balance, and consistent physical performance. These functions demand brain efficiency in order to attend, comprehend and learn; to process information; to think strategically; to creatively solve problems.
"Brain Health equals improved mindset, performance"
Your initial appointment will include a FBA. This is painless mapping of brain activity that takes minutes, allowing us to visualize & gain an understanding of what is happening in your brain, where it is happening and if there are irregularities in brain rhythm.
Our FBA is an electrophysiologic study of the brain mapped in a clinically useful way constructing a functional understanding of your brainwave activity. The FBA, or 'brain map', is used to identify conditions originating in the brain and areas of dysfunction, or arrhythmia. While typical brain imaging techniques such as MRI's, CT scans and X-rays measure brain structure, the technique used at Brain Health Hawaii measures functional connection and synchrony within the brain.
Much like the electrical system in the heart, the brain can be in a state of arrhythmia associated with symptoms. Brain arrhythmia is at the root of many conditions - such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep problems, ADHD, headaches, and more - and we have seen it can be understood & treated.
Call 808-554-5688 for a functional brain assessment (FBA).
We will assess your unique brain and condition with the focus on helping you achieve optimal health and performance.
The most common benefit of a complete course of treatment our clients experience are:
Every person's brain is unique and results will vary depending on your presentation and history.

Whether you are a corporate executive, entrepreneur, medical student, attorney, engineer or competitive athlete, optimizing brain functioning and efficiency can enhance cognitive & physical performance, memory, decision-making and restore proper sleep rhythm without the use of medication.
Peak performance is possible when:
Brain Health Hawaii can help you enhance your performance.
Many professional & collegiate athletes, elite military operators and CEO's experience peak performance as a result of our drug-free, pain-free brain enhancement.
Research and clinical experience has shown just a few nights of fragmented, non-restorative sleep can have a very serious negative impact on your skin and appearance, and on an even deeper level, your immune system, leaving you in the short and long run more vulnerable to infections and cancer. It affects your mood and ability to handle stress, physical strength, memory and critical decision-making ability. Less than optimal sleep negatively impacts essentially every aspect of the organ systems in your body.
Restoring your sleep cycle can improve your physical and mental performance and reduce your risk for serious diseases including infections, obesity, diabetes, depression, anxiety and even cognitive decline (dementia).
Our personalized approach to brain health leads to improved sleep in most people who complete a full treatment course.
Treatment is non-invasive, pain free and non-pharmaceutical.
If you continue to struggle with non-restorative sleep, call 808-554-5688 for a functional brain assessment (FBA).
Symptoms of brain injury or concussion may seem mild or go unnoticed at first, but can also appear later and worsen over time. Following a concussion, about 15-20% of patients continue to have symptoms for a year or longer negatively impacting memory, attention, sleep and can lead to chronic headaches, depression and anxiety. We have helped many patients, teens and adults, experience relief from the effects of post-concussive syndrome using non-invasive, pain-free, non-pharmaceutical treatment.
Brain Health Hawaii is the leading facility in Hawaii for patients seeking personalized treatment and technology currently being used by elite athletes & military operators.
Most of our patients have returned to the classroom, field, workplace and life, with restored health, performance and quality of life.

If you or a loved one suffer from post-concussion symptoms, call 808-554-5688 for a functional brain assessment (FBA).
Pregnancy and hormone changes have a bioenergetic impact on a woman's brain and general cognitive functioning. Symptoms of mommy brain and perimenopausal brain have similar features including word finding & memory changes and a sense of absentmindedness, proneness to anxious thoughts, low energy, feeling irritable, and non-restorative sleep patterns.
We seek to help women restore their mood, relieve anxiety and restore sleep through non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical and pain-free diagnosis and treatment.
One of our clients said:
"I can now get things done without feeling like I'm worrying about everything else that's on my plate. Ever since having children, I never thought I could get back to feeling like how I felt before becoming a mom. Thank you."
Restore your mood, get restful sleep and relief from persistent anxiety or worry.
Brain Health Hawaii offers a non-pharmaceutical option for those with autism. We are proud to be on the leading edge, having helped many with autism see significant functional improvement.
Studies show people with autism have different brainwave patterns compared to those without autism. Since TMS can restore brainwaves and neuronal activity to normal levels, it may improve many of the symptoms associated with autism.
A review of patients with autism who completed treatment at Brain Health Hawaii and other studies suggest that TMS improves attention, information processing, anxiety and repetitive behaviors.

According to the leading sleep experts in health and neuroscience, sleep is your superpower. Restoring your sleep cycle may allow your brain to feel better and think faster and more clear. Disrupted sleep is currently considered by experts in the field to be the leading risk factor for dementia.
Chronic sleep loss (quality & quantity) has been associated with higher risk for cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, heart attacks, Alzheimer's, dementia, depression and stroke.

Antidepressant medications fail to help 30-50% of patients diagnosed with depression. If you continue to suffer from depression despite multiple medication trials and/or you are looking for an alternative to medication, Dr. Keifer's approach to brain health has helped many patients experience relief from depression using non-invasive, pain-free treatment.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is FDA approved for depression. Your insurance policy may cover treatment if you have failed to respond to four or more antidepressant medications. You would need to check with your insurer to verify whether or not they cover rTMS for depression. We have found it helpful to have a letter from your treating physician documenting failed medication trials and a referral for rTMS for treatment resistant depression. With this documentation in letter form at your first visit with us, we can assist checking with your insurer about coverage.
If you struggle with depression, call 808-554-5688 for a functional brain assessment (FBA).
Dr. Keifer is the only physician in Hawaii offering individualized rTMS for:
Treatment resistant depression
PTSD
Anxiety Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorders
ADHD
Concussion
Chemo-brain
Menopause
Migraine Headaches
Sleep Disorders
Cognitive Enhancement
Treatment is non-invasive and typically takes 25-40 minutes per session, Monday through Friday, for 6-8 weeks. The goal of treatment is to improve brain health, rhythm and functioning as measured by neurocognitive scores, brainwave analysis and mapping, and subjective report of the patient.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free brain treatment that is FDA cleared for treatment of Depression, Migraine headaches, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The neuromodulation equipment used by Dr. Keifer has been cleared by the FDA, and may be used off label for other disorders in the practice of medicine. At leading medical centers on he mainland & ongoing phase 3 trials in the U.S., and clinical practice in Europe, TMS is demonstrating measurable positive outcomes in patients suffering from PTSD, mood disorders, autism, chemo-brain, postpartum depression, concussion, and other neurologic conditions.
Most current treatments in neurology and mental health involve pharmaceuticals and largely rely on a one size fits all approach.
