Qualifying medical cannabis patients for Hawaiʻi State Certification, Paola Abaro, DNP, FNP-BC, is a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in healthcare. Paola is passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and accessible care to patients throughout Hawaiʻi.
Bilingual in English and Tagalog, Dr. Paola Abaro believes that healing begins with listening, and she values clear communication to ensure every patient feels heard, respected, and supported.

															At Greener Healing Ways, we believe education is the heart of safe and effective medical cannabis care.
Our Cannabis Education Library helps patients, caregivers, and Kupuna understand how cannabis interacts with the body, how to use it responsibly, and how to make informed choices rooted in both science and aloha.
Whether you’re new to medical cannabis or looking to expand your understanding, this library offers clear, medically accurate information to guide your wellness journey.
Today we honor the retirement of Dr. James Berg, who has served our island community with dedication, compassion, and aloha for over 20 years.
As the founder of Greener Healing Ways, Dr. Berg has guided thousands of patients with wisdom, kindness, and care. His work has touched countless lives, and his presence in our office will be deeply missed.
While we celebrate his well-earned retirement, we also look forward to continuing the Greener Healing Ways legacy of compassionate care. I am honored to carry this work forward, and we are excited to welcome our new provider, Paola Abaro, APRN, who will continue to serve our patients with the same level of care and aloha you have come to know.
