Alan K.Y Obara, DVM
Dr. Obara was born and raised in Hawai'i Kai. His love for animals began by making saltwater habitats with the fish he caught at the Sandy Beach Tide pools and those he "saved" from his mom's fishing cooler. Little did his parents know that this love of animals would sound turn their home into a zoo. He would also volunteer at various veterinary clinics, the Hawaiian Humane Society, Honolulu Zoo and Sea Life Park.
His educational background began as a son of 'Iolani School and a student at Colorado State University. He graduated from CSU Honor's Program in 2001 with a degree in animal sciences. In 2005, he graduated from Colorado State University with his doctorate in Veterinary medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Returning home, he began working at Kalihi Pet Clinic in Moili'ili under Dr. Timothy Lau who opened the original location at the Old Kalihi Shopping Center in 1962. Upon Dr Lau's retirement in 2013, Dr. Obara became the primary care doctor and took over the practice.
In his free time Dr.Obara loves to Harass Mochi, his cat; talk story with his dogs, Elway and Von at the beach and spend time with his wife and son (not in this particular order). He is an avid University of Hawai'i and Denver Broncos fan. He also loves yoga, playing basketball, volleyball, being a foodie and a lover of many hiking trails and beaches.
