Neurologist, epileptologist, and pediatrician
Meet Doctor Chris Arca
Chris Arca is a board-certified child neurologist, epileptologist, and pediatrician. Born and raised in Hawai‘i, he carries with him the deep-rooted values of compassion, family, and care. His journey into medicine began early, inspired by close relatives who faced chronic illnesses, and guided by the mentorship of dedicated teachers and physicians.
Dr. Arca earned his medical degree from Rush University in 2016. He went on to complete a combined pediatric and child neurology residency at Loma Linda University in 2021, followed by specialized fellowship training in epilepsy at Stanford University in 2022.
Today, Dr. Arca remains deeply committed to providing thoughtful, expert care — treating every patient as part of his ‘ohana.
In his spare time, Dr. Arca likes to chase and tickle his daughter and son. Him, his wife, and two children like traveling to experience new cultures, cuisines, and perspectives.
