I got a really bad allergic reaction to a hydrocolloid adhesive pad I bought from Longs. My leg was ok but progressively got worse. I didn't have a PCP so I went to Straub Clinic in Waikiki and Queen's Emergency. The doctors kept throwing more prescriptions at me that kept making things worse. So, I stopped taking it for a few days and started to improve. Around this time, I was referred to Dr. Monsicha Dinh.
Unlike other doctors who probably would've kept saying TAKE ALL THE PILLS, she listened to what happened after the first antibiotic pill (allergic reaction), second antibiotic prescription (allergic reaction) and then listened to my suggestion of getting off all pills. She agreed and said to come back so she can check my progress.
Turns out, I didn't need any pills. I just needed to ride it out but having Dr. Dinh actually listen to me and be there to make sure my progress was good was so helpful. I'm glad I found her.
They have a website where you can download new patient forms and get the number to schedule your appointment!
