I have been struggling for months with horrible plantar fasciitis pain. The doctors and the staff were amazing here. They really know their stuff they knew exactly what I needed and set me up with all the things to ease my foot pain help me get back to being active and pain-free again. read more

I remember my first visit with Doctor Au, she was super sweet and nice. I had to get seen for an ingrown toe nail and I couldn't get it surgically removed at the time so she insisted on a cold numbing spray and getting only part of the nail removed. It was painless! And my toe was good! For my second visit I got seen by Dr. Anderson to get the ingrown toenail permanently removed. And thankfully I was able to see them ASAP. I called early in the morning and they were able to schedule me to come in at 3:30pm on the same day! For the procedure I was really anxious at first, because I am not very good with needles, but he was very understanding and patient! He told me to relax and not to worry! We then proceeded to the procedure, which only took 30 minutes and it was super painless! In the end they gave me a sheet on how to take care of my toe! Also, after a week of care you have to do a follow up by either video chatting or coming in person to see how the toe is doing! Overall, I would recommend coming here, staff is really sweet and doctors are super nice too! I live 30 minutes away from the clinic, but it was worth the drive! read more

Aloha Foot Centers - The aftermath of my ingrown toenail being removed haha! - Medical Centers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

I honestly don't remember the Dr's name but she was very nice. She was thorough and gave a lot of good information and suggestions. The receptionist was nice and was patient when there was a technical issue with my insurance. The place is dingy. Looks like a dirty even if it's not because it's old. I would recommend because everyone was so nice and helpful. read more

I went years ago as a first time client, based on a referral from my previous doctor to fix my callouses. The staff was friendly enough & had me filled out paperwork. Dr. Sandra Au was pretty chill, got to the point that I caused the callouses because of poor posture, possibly weight and poor choice of footwear. Nonetheless of how that sounds- I appreciate a honest doctor than one that would try to just upsell me a different service as well. ESP after my run of doctors who would get me in their offices to run around my issues & not actually fix my issues. She was able to shave off my callouses and the relief was uncomfortable at first, but so relieving. Due to how much she had to shave off, she was concerned about how much skin was taken off possibly too close to the bones but I lived to tell the tale! And I'm grateful for the help I had received that day. I still refer to her advice which was finding a sturdy footwear that doesn't bend at the top and has a rectangle top part. It's just difficult for me to find sturdy footwear for my foot size. read more

Ken Tsubata saw me through a healing process that consisted of mending two broken heels. His approach was articulate, personable and humorous. I highly recommend visiting Aloha Foot Centers for any podiatry needs. read more

Dr Anderson is a gem! I mean seriously, gotta give some props to people who specialize in other people's feet!! I've been in a boot for two weeks and although it not the most fashionable thing, it sure does make my foot pain disappear! He is thorough in his clinical exam and is helping me on a road to recovery. read more

My dad is diabetic, overweight, and has trouble walking. He sometimes falls and gets cuts that seem minor to a normal person, but tragic for a diabetic. One time it got infected and the doctors at Aloha Foot Centers helped me out so much! They showed me how to clean and care for their wound using some of the products they have in store. They also introduced me to this compression brace that saves me so much frustration! Have you ever put on compression socks for an overweight diabetic? It sucks! I wish it was like throwing a hot dog down a hall way but no! It is absolutely not! Anywho, im much happier now after learning how to care for wounds and using this new compression brace. Thanks Aloha Foot Center! read more

Dude! Dr. Tsubata saved me! Like I was so shame about my feet because the years and years of neglect and abuse. I definitely wouldn't be able to sell feet pics on the internet due to how busted they were. The last 3 years I had a growth on the bottom of my left foot and my heels were so severely cracked I couldn't wear slippers. I mean I could.. it would just look unappealing. But the growth turned unbearable in 2020, much like everything else.. and I exclaimed enough is enough! With weekends off, they open relatively early. I believe it was 7-5pm. and I'm normally in and out within 30mins or less. I had to go back twice to get my wart removed and comeback for a follow up to make sure it didn't comeback. He also Rxed a cream for my crusty heels and it looks so much better! If I were actually consistent, my foot would probably be 100% healed by now. Wonderful bedside manner. Very personable, which was huge for me bc I was already sticking my nasty ass feet in his face..so talking about random things took the pressure off. But business is business and he is very thorough about explaining what's going on and why. Highly recommend! read more

Father has toenails clipped here. Dr. Tsubata is very personable and informative. Office operations efficient and courteous.

Was referred here by my PCP for some foot pain. Dr Au was very thorough. She listened to my concerns and was able to tell me the reasons for my pain. She even took an X-ray right there and showed me what was going on. Her footwear suggestions has really helped me feel better. I highly recommend Aloha Foot Center and Dr. Au. read more

AlohaFoot Center is the BEST Foot Center on the Island! Dr. Tsubata is Fantastic and if only other Doctors were more like him the Medical Field would be a better place!! Not only is the office concerned about your needs they are truly compassionate & reallycare about how they can help you! I've been there about 3 times and twice was for an emergency and they took me right away & took care of my big toes. If you ever find that you may need to see a Podiatrist I highly recommend you go to Aloha Food Center and see Dr. Ken Tsubata. He is the Best ever!!! Best Wishes to Aloha Foot Center for have compassion & integrity. read more

It is a rare experience when I meet someone who is as passionate about his/her job as this: enthusiastically letting the words bubble out, clearly knowledgeable about a focused skill, and devoted to educating another individual using this knowledge. It can be almost overwhelming to encounter this sort of passion, since so many people just slog through the work day, staring at the clock until it's over. True passion cannot be contained. Dr. Ken Tsubata has this passion. After a recent foot injury, I was looking for a professional opinion about whether or not I needed orthotic inserts for my shoes. After looking through Yelp reviews and calling around, I made an appointment at the Aloha Foot Centers. The phone staff was warm, professional, and knowledgeable. On my appointment day, I was lucky to snag a parking spot right next to the facility. I checked in and filled out the necessary paperwork. Again, the front desk staff was wonderful. Even though I arrived rather early, I was able to see Dr. Tsubata in a timely manner. I explained the progression of my injury and he asked thoughtful questions along the way. (He even remarked that I could be a "fascinating" case study in medical literature for the unusual presentation of the conditions.) With permission, he manipulated my feet to judge their movement, enthusiastically and intensely explaining his findings along the way. Eventually, he explained that I shouldn't need the (very expensive) custom orthotics unless I start doing intense athletic training again. He brought a pair of Sole orthotics to try, also recommending a few other pairs. He clearly discussed what I should look for in a good orthotic and stable shoe, bending my shoe to show me where it had too much give. I also received a sheet that recommended specific footwear and exercises. At the end of the visit, Dr. Tsubata demonstrated effective stretching techniques, enthusiastically explaining the science behind his recommendations. It's clear that he keeps up with the medical literature and uses it to inform his care. Checkout was easy and the staff answered all my questions in a very professional manner. I received specific instructions for trying the orthotics and was told there was a 30-day refund policy in place, should I decide that they aren't working for me. I was very pleased with the Aloha Foot Centers and Dr. Ken Tsubata's care. I recommend this location for anyone who needs an evaluation. read more

I went in see Dr Ken Tsubata with a broken toe. I was very apprehensive because I could see that it was crooked and I knew he would have to set it. But he was awesome! He told me I needed injections and right away I started to freak out and asked him if he could give me something so that I wouldn't feel it but you know what? He sprayed it with some freezing stuff and by golly I did not feel any of the three injections that he gave me. And then when he pulled and yanked on my toe to put it back in place I didn't feel that either! I thanked him for putting up with me cuz I am a total big baby about stuff like that and I really, really appreciate him and his patience! Absolutely five stars ..go and see him, he is fantastic! read more

The staff and Doctors are on it the minute you enter their office. Very friendly and professional. I would recommend them to anyone that may have an issue with their feet. I love the first class treatment!! Samuel Kalahiki Jr read more

Drs James Anderson and Ken Tsubata know their stuff. They take great care of my feet. I came in with a spiral fracture and Dr Anderson did an excellent job at numbing the foot and taking X-rays and resetting it without causing me pain. These doctors seem to be the best and I trust them with any foot issue. Their staff are kind and professional as well. read more

First appointment doctor was a little late, understandable as I think she was the only one there (just be aware if you're using the coin parking lot). She went above and beyond for my issues. She gave me a few temporary relievers and even took X-rays so I could see what was wrong. Offered to stretch my shoes and apply pads into it. Probably have to get surgery but she didn't make me feel rushed into a decision which made me feel good. read more

Referred by my primary, was looking to find out what was going on with a toe. Dr Au looked things over, assessed the issue, informed me what it was a treatment option. 20 minutes later after a minor procedure I was on my way and pain free. Dr Au is engaging, friendly and a pleasure. No Dr knows best and only attitude. Great experience and results! Other then the almost now everywhere forms and registration process they are fairy digital and efficient. read more

I'm writing a Yelp review about the wonderful service I received from the 3 ladies working at the front desk of the Aloha Foot Center in Kailua. The Center offers not only treatment by medical doctors, but also a small store selling high-quality orthopedic shoes. My visit today was to buy a pair of sandals to replace the pair I had worn out. The ladies answered all my questions, including bringing out and explaining a foot brace. I appreciated their friendly & professional service! read more

They should change their name to no aloha foot center! Idk who the doctor is here now but he's a frickin jerk and it's no longer lareaux! I made an appointment for what I think is a fracture in my foot. Long story short is when I called they told me next available is a week out. I explain my situation and the girl tells me I can come in today at 1:30. I admit I was 10 min late but not an hour late as I could here the doctor telling the receptionist. I over hear this ignorant/cocky mofo lecturing the receptionist about how I'm an hour late and that's unacceptable. He'll see me this time but now I'll have to wait till he's good and ready! He's sitting in his office at his desk on his computer. She comes in and explains that I'm an hour late and I technically should've been there at 1 for checkin. Um hellooooooo? I wasn't told this! Im an existing patient also! I've been here multiple times to see Dr. lareaux‍ after hearing this ignorant mofo lecture his receptionist I'd rather just pay ER rates and walked out. If this new doctor would get off his high horse for a min he'd realize this was miscommunication. My appointment was at 1:15, I was told 1:30, I was there by 1:40, by the time I used the bathroom, filled out a short form, and made it to the exam room it was almost 2. I was right in the next room and over heard every word of his lecture! I felt bad for the receptionist because it was neither of our faults. read more

My teen son was referred to Aloha Foot Centers by an orthopedist (no visible broken bones in x-rays, but lingering foot pain from hurting his foot playing soccer. Dr. Au was personable and my son and I both liked her because of her friendliness and obvious expertise. The orthopedist had been unable to pinpoint where his pain was coming from, but Dr. Au knew right where to press to elicit the pain he was describing. We were both impressed. After a month in a hard-soled sandal, the pain was gone. She prescribed an insert and an ankle brace, both which seem to be keeping him from repeated injury. My son no longer complains of foot or ankle pain. Dr. Au even scraped off a small callus on his foot during examination. I am now going to send my dad there to get a medical pedicure. As an aside, we went to the Kailua location, and the office is a little tricky to find in the maze-like layout of the ground floor. read more

I wanted to thank Dr. Ken Tsubata for the outstanding service I received during my visit. This was my first visit to the foot doctors so I was a little apprehensive. Dr. Tsubata was very knowledgeable and explained everything in depth. The visual aids he used really brought more understanding to what was going on with my feet. Thank you very much! read more

I arrived a half hour before my appointment as I didn't know where their office was even though I've lived in Kailua for 50+ years. Staff was very friendly and put me in an exam room right away. A few minutes later Dr. Anderson came in and began to examine my problem. He was kind, professional and put me at ease. When I left, I was happy to learn that my problem was not serious. I would recommend for anyone with foot problems visit them. read more

Dr. Tsubata was really good and that he took time to explain everything! Late but glad I finally made the appointment to get my issue addressed and have a goal to work towards to be pain free! I feel hopeful that this heel pain I have been dealing with off and on will finally subside or at be least manageable! Parking is convenient in metered parking garage (.75 per hour) behind McDonalds. In fact when you drive to enter garage and handicap parking on left and right but look beyond right and you will see the big sign Aloha Foot Center-entry is doors left of the sign and first door on right as you enter and go down the steps! read more

Great service, no waiting for the doc! He was knowledgeable, sociable and a good conversationalist even when explaining the treatment. Am glad the VA referred me to him to address my foot problems! read more

My experience with Aloha Foot Center has always been a pleasurable one. The doctors are very good at what they do and they go out of their way to make sure you as a patient gets all that you need. The staff are pleasant and helpful. At times the office is filled with patients but the service and the attitudes of the staff are always professional and helpful read more

Dr. Au is my primary doctor. I appreciate her and the whole team in making appointments and working with me for any special needs. They are all very prompt, efficient and patient centered. I recently had pain on Sunday and they were able to work me in on Monday morning! I had to see Dr. Au's partner and he was also very good. Office hours are wonderful. They open pretty early so that helps if you need to get to work. read more

The Aloha Foot Center is a friendly professional place and Dr. Ken Tsubata is great. Very thoughtful, supportive and has great follow through. He actually cured my bad pincer nail and I am grateful and finally pain free! mahalo nui loa! read more

My first time at Aloha Foot Centers and every thing was great. From making my first appointment to seeing the Dr was absolute seamless. The Dr was wonderful and funny! I had previously been to a Podiatrist on the mainland where he removed them but it looked like he just cut them off without regard and left them jagged and nasty. The Dr at Aloha Foot Centers did a wonderful job and I could hardly tell where he even removed the nail. As of today I still have pretty feet and it's only been a week. I would highly recommend going to Aloha Foot Centers! read more

Dr. Au is amazing but the front desk staff is not very pleasant or helpful. If someone calls and says that they are in pain they should make it clear that walk-ins will be left to sit in the front for hours. If you're actually having a foot emergency, this is not the place to go. They expected me to stay for hours in the waiting room with a toddler... literal hours. I don't know what universe that makes sense in. read more

Dr Tsubata is not only the best podiatrist I've ever experienced but he's quite possibly the best doctor on this island! After being referred to him by my primary provider, my entire visit was an experience that put all my previous specialist visits to shame. His office staff treated me with exceptional, world-class respect, care, consideration and aloha. From the instant I walked in the door to the time I left, I felt like part of their Ohana. Special mahalo goes out to Ms Amy, for incredible kindness and assistance. If you need a podiatrist, this is the place you must go. Dr Tsubata not only treated my foot condition but explained five different procedures that could be done to repair a chronic foot issue that I had for over 15 years. He described state of the art options that were light years ahead of the standard, can't-do attitude of my previous doctors. His knowledge is superb; his bedside manner impeccable, and his treatments are effective and painless! I do not have the proper words to convey just how exceptional my experience with Dr Tsubata was. Come here and see for yourselves! read more

It was a good place to visit. Lots of options as far as footwear, but the receptionist could've been more friendly or a little more welcoming. The doctor on the other hand was friendly and she answered all questions I had. overall! read more

I have been treated for several years at Aloha Foot Centers and received excellent care each time I went. Although I began many years ago when Dr. LaReaux was there full time I found Dr. Tsubata an excellent successor. And... the new pedicure service they just began works great for me. Aloha Foot Centers make my heart - and my feet sing. read more

I saw the review from a year ago that was a 1 star as I was getting ready to give Dr. Ken Tsubata a 5 star rating. We were a few minutes last for our appointment (mom is 91 and moves slowly). We were immediately taken to an exam room and I barely started filling out the forms before Dr. Tsubata came in. Examined mom and started to treat her straightaway while explaining the treatments available. Very pleasant and informative. I highly recommend him. read more

Podiatrist Dr. Robert LaReaux is a fantastic foot doctor. I have taken my two children there for ingrown toenails. Dr. LaReaux is professional, friendly and extremely good natured. His staff is on top of it and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Dr. LaReaux for any kind of foot problems you might have. Mary Zanakis Kailua Resident read more

I was recommend by a friend to see the Dr Au at aloha foot center in Kailua. The staff at the office was very friendly and nice. They were very patient and were willing to answer my questions. Dr Au took the time to diagnosis the problem to the core and give you option on what you can do. I would definitely come back to see them if I ever need to see a podiatrist again or if a friend ever ask for a recommendation. read more

Dr. LaReaux is very professional and knowledgeable, if you have a question he has an answer. He and his staff have always given me excellent service!!! I started going to Aloha Foot Centers when I was having trouble with plantar fasciitis. Little did I know how much my feet dictated the rest of my body. After establishing that the joints in my feet were "loosy goosy" Dr LaReaux fit me with custom orthotics and to my relief...the pain in my knee, hip, and back joints are feeling better. I highly recommend Aloha Foot Centers to everyone......especially those with feet problems. read more

Before my review, I want it to be known that my low rating is in no way reflective of the Doctor. She was wonderful. The staff consistently dropped the ball and led to my low rating. I had my first appointment and showed up early with my paperwork. I sat in the waiting room until 30 minutes past my appointment time. I then went into the patient room and waited by myself there for another 20 minutes. The Doctor came in and she was great. She alone is 5 stars. The Center as a whole is 2! I made a followup appointment. I called a few mornings later to ask a question and was told someone would call me back. 7 hours later no call, so I called a second time. The lady said she needed to speak to the doctor and would call me later, probably the next day since it was late. Okay. The next day, no call. Day 3, I called in the morning and was told that someone would have to call me back. Six hours later when I got home I made phone call #4. The lady I spoke to this time said there were no notes in my chart that someone should call me back. She couldn't help me so now I am still waiting for another phone call. I have made 4 phone calls over 3 days and am still waiting on the doctor to get back to me. read more
