Dr. Kai and his wife have been married for more than 10 years and have three daughters. Dr. Kai admits that no matter how hard he tries to resist, he can’t say no to them. All they have to do is bat their eyelashes and they usually get what they want.

One of Dr. Kai’s favorite things is to watch and play basketball. It’s great cardio even though his friends laugh that he is the only person on the court wearing protective goggles.
