About Dr. Keifer: Practicing medicine since 2004
“The earlier a child, adolescent, or adult enhances the most important ‘muscle’ in the body, the brain, the sooner he or she can perform the best they can, and be the happiest, healthy person they can be.”
Dr. Keifer's passion is helping patients reach peak performance while enhancing their quality of life. He received his medical degree from the University of Nebraska College of Medicine; completed his internship in internal medicine at the University of Southern California and psychiatry residency at the University of California San Diego. Following his residency, Dr. Keifer elected further training and completed his fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine.

He also served as a physician for the men and women serving in the U.S. Army at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, where he gained a deeper understanding of the stressors that our military members encounter. He has gained wide expertise over the past years in medicine, brain health and development, and personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Dr. Keifer founded Brain Health Hawaii with the goal of helping people to live their best lives.
