As someone who spent a lifetime working with physicians, it's easy to spot a doc who's truly exemplary and gifted. Doc Avino offers his patients so much more than an accurate diagnosis. He takes the time needed to clearly explain your diagnosis, his treatment recommendations and, will consider your specific situation and preferences with ongoing care. He cares about his patient outcomes and providing state of the art care tailored to each patients needs and desires. As a patient, I am deeply grateful for Dr. Avino's exceptional care and expertise.

12/17/2025 Happy holidays! Went a couple days ago to see Dr. Kristy for a pre-op appointment…read more She is a very sweet and patient doctor who was able to answer many of my questions about what to expect. She informed me that she would remove the joint on my third toe and try to stitch it up as best she could. Sadly removing the joint will leave my toe flapping. I was grossed out but...Hopefully it is better than a tiny blister looking bubble that doesn't subside. Guess when I go out in public I should wear covered footwear vs slippers or open sandals as needed. I was self conscious for anyone to see it especially my pedicure person. I had gone and showed both my doctor and dermatologist prior. My previous appointment Dr. Kristy suggested using a Kleenex and pressing on it... stayed the same. Last straw was when I went to the dentist, you prop your feet up. She always comments on my holiday nails and the assistant saw that bubble. Ugh. *** I am now Waiting on her front desk two ladies to get back to me with a surgery date and check in time for January 2026 since Monday. Dr. Kristy's regular surgery days are Fridays. I shared with the front desk ladies: The sooner in the month hopefully right after the New Year since need my toe to heal before the biggest trip of my entire life comes up in spring. I also met a pretty med student who entered the examining room. She introduced herself as Dr. Chun's daughter who I've seen before years ago. She said Dr. Kristy would be in shortly. Have a merry Christmas 2025

Medical care in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. My aunty's Primary Care Physician referred her to Dr. Michael Chun, podiatrist. Faith was the friendly Medical Assistant who took the Medical History. No vital signs were needed. She thanked us for our patience since we waited for a while to be seen. Dr. Chun was very patient, gentle, and thorough. We found out that he graduated from Pearl City High School and went to San Francisco for college - that's why he's a Giants' fan... he has a lot of memorabilia in the waiting room's display case! I'd recommend Dr. Chun... he has a great personality, is knowledgeable and efficient, and has a fun sense of humor!

I want give my highest recommendation for Dr Sakuda and his medical assistant Dawn…read more Dawn at the front is so friendly and I really enjoy taking story with her. It really helps lower my anxiety bc I'm getting a steroid shot in my foot and it's very scary for me bc I don't really care for needles. Dr Sakuda gave me a shot in my plantar fibroma. And he did it with as little pain as possible using a lot of cold spray and taking his time. I was so grateful after he finished bc it wasn't as painful as I had imagined. Dr Sakuda has a great bed side manner that is very calming that I really appreciate. I highly recommend going to Dr Sakuda especially if you have plantar fibroma.

When your body speaks to you, listen. Especially when you get older…read more I'm on my feet a lot and have experienced several foot/leg issues where eventually it was resolved. But step in diabetes, where overlooking issues under this condition can be tragic. Just last week at my part time job, a customer came in and I recognized his voice as he's a regular. But I didn't immediately recognize him as he lost a lot of weight and clearly had mobility issues. When I blurted out his name, indeed it was him. He told me he was diabetic and ignored a toe injury where a life-changing procedure slowed him down. For a couple of weeks now, I had what seemed like a blister on one of my toes where it now became 2. It was painful to walk in shoes and when I showed it to family members where one is doing her residency at a large hospital and my sister has been an RN for over 30 years, was told it could be either a blister, callous or wart. I, too, am diabetic and fears crossed my mind. My sister strongly suggested I have it investigated immediately. Step in Ricky Sukita (RS). RS is a podiatrist who has been in practice for over 35 years. Located in Kuakini Physician's Exchange, the office of RS is on the 11th floor. It was so nice to make an appointment where his staff immediately answered the phone when I called. Their records show this wasn't my first time to the office, but I was impressed on the service and professionalism extended to me. I addressed to the staff of my issue and after confirming my address and health insurance plan, I was escorted to an empty office where several minutes later RS showed up. Words cannot express my relief where it was disclosed my issue was callous development. I've had warts before where it was painful and took a long time to resolve. After assessing my regular work and leisure regimen, RS explained of my current condition and how this came all about. He also advised me how to handle this situation and provided me with protection. I appreciated how he informed me and educated me where I understood and didn't feel incompetent that led to my condition. Overall, solid 5-stars to RS and his staff. From making the appointment to walking out of the office after my appointment, there weren't hassles nor stress. I understand RS is taking new patients. If you're looking for a podiatrist, look no further.

In my line of work I used to deal with a lot of physicians being a medical sales rep. Dr. Sukita immediately makes you feel at ease. He treated me for plantar fasciitis making great recommendations in orthotic products and educating me on how to treat my injury. If you're ever in need of great foot care, I would highly recommend Dr. Sekita. His staff is also great! I had made an appointment and arrived at the wrong time, but they worked me in with no problem. Very grateful for Dr.Sukita and his staff

Wow, I mean wow. I needed to a podiatrist here in Honolulu. I was directed to Dr Day. I am so very…read moreglad that I was. I had a foreign object that had gotten under the skin of my foot, I think from the beach. Thought that I would work. It's way out on, it did not edit. In fact became very painful. Went to Dr Day. He figured it out immediately of course and he took it out, but he didn't just take it out. He is really kind, he's considerate, amazing bedside. He really developed the doctor patient relationship. He's incredibly knowledgeable and well trained and a lot of experience. If you need a podiatrist, look no further, Dr. Day is the real deal.

I was referred to Dr. Day by my Physical Therapist. I wasn't happy with my other Podiatrist. He was…read morevery caring to my needs. And told me what he possibly can do. But have to wait until he sees my X-ray. Which is in 17 days. Kinda sad that I have to wait this long. Meanwhile im taking my Ibuprofen and a lidocaine spray to help ease the pain. I left with knowing I will have to have surgery in the near future. I was told that he's front office people aren't so friendly. But I was pleasantly surprised that they were very nice! I was talking story with one of the ladies for a few minutes. And even asked about the cream/lotion for the feet. And she was very knowledgeable about the products.

The staff was super friendly and everything was clean and the exam room has a beautiful view. Besides all that, Dr. Tsubata spent a good amount of time examining my feet and explaining my condition and course of treatment. I have already seen improvement based on his suggestions. I have no complaints whatsoever and truly feel well taken care of.

So glad there is a Honolulu office now!…read more We all know diabetics need to take care of their legs and feet. Here is a tale as old as time... Took my dad to see them for his diabetes and a wound he had on his leg. I told my dad not to close the car door, just sit in his wheel chair while I put his walker away... but no. Elderly never listen. While sitting on his wheel chair, he ends up closing the door on his on his own shin and blood spewing out of a dime size hole onto his socks and dripping on the floor. Aigoooo...WTF, Dumba$$ Bakatare! He got me so mad I started speaking Korean, Text speak, and Japanese all at once. Now I'm just thinking of more doctor appointments I need to drive to near and far... near being in town... far being kailua. Anyway, a few days passed and our pain management doctor in Kalihi said I should look into getting it checked because it may be eschar. The scab was all black and worrying us... I'm just filled with rage toward my dad at this point. All I know is, don't take these small things lightly. These small wounds could turn into big things if not taken care of properly. I'm seeing a dime size wound turning into a leg amputation. Am I over reacting... maybe... but better to be 'sorry not sorry' than to be 'sorry for real sorry.' So I took my dad to Dr. Tsubata in town and he treated my Dad's leg wound and advised us on how to care for it. (Bandages, healing gels, amount of changes, etc) The wound healed over a couple weeks. And all my anxiety and rage subsided. As for me, I bought some nice orthotics for my shoes. My arches have never looked and felt better while pushing a wheel chair. Thank you Dr. Tsubata!

I came here on referral from Dr. T ... I was having constant foot pain for months and just thought…read moreI had pulled a muscle or something, and that it would go away. It didn't. It got worse. We though that what I had was plantar fasciitis :/ So I did what he recommended .. wear inserts in my shoes, no heels :(, only sneakers. And to roll a frozen water bottle under my foot .. which btw .. hurts until the ice numbs your arches .. Moving forward .. I was referred to Dr. Yees' office where I saw Dr. Karen Yamaguchi. The front desk gals are sweet and very helpful. They even have a bowl of candy at the front for you taking pleasure :D My appointment was at 2pm, I waited maybe 20-30 minutes ... she was still with her last patient. And honestly the wait I didn't mind at all. The waiting room is pretty lounge action lol When I was called in back, I waited only 2 minutes and there she was!! :) Dr. Yamaguchi is a hoot!! She nearly died when I told her my work heels are stilettos ... You can't not work in town and not own pairs of stilettos for work! You can't beat my argument .. Anywho, turns out I have tarsal tunnel ... did you just say 'What?' ... cause I gave her that face when she said it. Even told me to google it. In short, she said it's like having carpal tunnel .. with the constant shooting pain and the joint freezing type thing ... but with my arch, heel and ankle. I was in pain so it pretty much was what ever you throw at me I'll do type of thing. She gave me a choice ... either a boot or a night splint. But, told me why she wouldn't chose the night splint. It would only help relieve the pain at night, keeping my foot in a straight up position to promote healing. She said I would benefit from the boot instead. What I didn't expect was the boot to look so big :/ I look like I had a skiing accident hahahaha!! it also doesn't look heavy .. but once it was on, I couldn't feel any pain at all ... it was also a little heavy and my other leg is over compensating since the boot is like 3 inches high ... I'm going to mention here that I had NO shoes or heels that are 3 inches lol ... got those thick 'slippahs' now .. so I'm walking slowly and as evenly as I can. Also gave me a script for Prednisone for the swelling ... It's helped so far. Forgot to put it on before bed last night and boy! I can tell the difference .. I could hardly walk when I got up. Lesson learned folks ... I see her again in 3 weeks so keep your fingers crossed!!!! Anyone wanting to graffiti my boot is more than welcome to :D ** edit note ... Dr. Yee shares an office with other doctors there .. his number is (808) 591-0020

Without gloves or warning or pain medication, he came at my toe with giant clippers and shaky hands. I was pulling my foot away and told him how much it hurt and he laughed. He gave me less than 3 minutes of his time, and laughed at all my questions about why it was green, what I could do to help it grow in normally, if I should wear a bandaid or not. I felt like I lead the appointment. Huge waste of time and a medical bill. Time to retire!

Dr. Yamaguchi said the surgery would…read moretake several months to heal and the pain level would be intense, she doesn't recommend it since my mom's in her 70's. Five years went by, my mom suffers daily, the pain traveled to her legs and back she finally saw another doctor for a second opinion. We are so blessed to find the new doctor who performed minimally invasive surgery to correct my mom's bunion problem. There was hardly any pain and she started walking within days! Dr. Yamaguchi's approach was the traditional surgery, which will take a long time to recover and painful. She's not up to date with her skills and craft. She literally robbed my mom years of quality of life. Although Dr. Yamaguchi is nice, her experience with bunions is not enough. Please seek second opinion for minimally invasive surgery.

I've been seeing Dr. Yamaguchi for years. She is the only podiatrist I've seen (and I've seen a…read moregood handful) that is very thorough in her work. Also, she is genuinely interested in you as a person, and has a really good memory about what you last conversed about. The girls in the front are always personable and easygoing. They take patients pretty early as well (I think I've scheduled as early as 7 am) and sometimes work on Saturday every other Saturday). If you need special inserts, slippers, padding for certain wounds, lotions, etc. they also have some stock in-house. If you need foot problems addressed, I'd highly recommend this practice!
