Dr. Hanada is always pleasant, professional, and someone I trust with my care…read more I did have some difficulty reaching the office initially--after several calls, I was repeatedly routed to voicemail and had trouble connecting to schedule an appointment. However, the office did follow up and was able to get me in quickly once we connected. It may have been a staffing or communication issue, but I appreciate that they made the effort to accommodate me. Overall, I'm glad to be continuing care with this doctor and hope the phone responsiveness continues to improve.

Before making my appointment I saw there were quite a few negative reviews so I thought I'd share…read moremy positive experience. I don't know about everyone else but after seeing my PCP and dermatologist already, Dr. Sreedharan was the first provider I felt actually listened to me and took the time to figure out what was going on and then thoroughly explained to me, in a way that I could understand, what has happening in my own body. Even called to follow up and few hours later.

My 3 year old has been suffering from a *constant* cough from September 2021. Her pediatrician said…read moreshe must have post-nasal drip cough caused by allergies. With the fear of covid all around, all the reasons why you would see your PCP are, now, all the reasons why you are not allowed into the office... cough, included and perhaps- especially. So, after about 10 telehealth visits and instructions to give zyrtec daily and vacuum (I do that 5 times a day regardless) and air out mattresses and zero improvement - I was desperate and searched for a local allergy specialist online. Aloha Allergy and Immunology came up and were, thankfully, still taking new patients! We have HMSA PPO federal plan so we didn't need a referral to make an appointment. I understand that covid can be scary if you haven't had it, but it was truly heartbreaking to watch my poor toddler have coughing fits throughout the day and even wake her from sleep and her pediatrician was unwilling to see her in office because of her chronic cough. But on our first appointment, Dr. Lucuab-Fegurgur and staff were so compassionate and understanding to my daughter's situation. They expressed genuine concern for her well-being and didn't treat her like a walking disease. We discovered that her coughing was due to post-nasal drip and she has allergic rhinitis which is like an allergy- induced asthma. They did a scratch test to see what amongst the common irritants, were possibly affecting her. Come to find out, she's extremely allergic to dust mites and cockroach. Two things I cannot avoid in island... like- hardly at all. However, we know now how best we can help her. I have a lot of laundry and need to set up traps regularly in the car and at home. No stuffed animals or rugs- etc. She's on montelukast, Flonase, zyrtec and (when needed) albuterol. As long as she is propped up, she does not usually have a problem sleeping without anything. Anyway, Dr. L is an answer to prayer! She is WONDERFUL. She is kind and attentive and has helped my daughter be able to return to normal activities like school and play dates without getting dirty looks from those unaware that allergic coughs are a thing and not contagious... if you or someone you know needs an allergy specialist, Aloha Allergy and Immunology is your bet! Thank you, Dr. L and staff! My daughter can breathe ;)

I've been a patient of Dr. Kitagawa's for nearly 15 years, both for medical and cosmetic…read moredermatology, and I'm surprised I haven't written a review before this. Historically, I have been treated for teenage and adult acne with great success. Recently, I've had a number of Vbeam and PicoSure laser treatments for pigmentation and anti-aging that have been highly effective. The medical assistants, especially Jocelyn :), are incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Jocelyn has helped me build a daily skincare regimen of SkinBetter, SkinCeuticals, AND over-the-counter products. I trust her expertise and she practices what she preaches. I highly recommend Dr. Kitagawa's office!

Dr. Kam has been my allergist since 2019, and he is truly outstanding. I struggled with severe,…read moreunexplained asthma starting in 2007--it was so bad that I couldn't sleep or function normally. Hoping a change in climate would help, I even moved to Hawaii in 2015. I saw several allergists at Queen's, but none were able to provide real answers. Dr. Kam was the first doctor who truly took action. On my very first visit, he personally arranged for me to see a pulmonologist that same morning, without a prior appointment. That level of care and advocacy is rare. Because of Dr. Kam, my asthma is now well controlled, and my quality of life has completely changed. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in his patients. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for him. I highly recommend Dr. Kam to anyone dealing with asthma or allergies.

This year, I decided it was time to have cataract surgery. After the consult with Dr. Schmidt, we decided to have multi-focal interocular lenses put in. The results are MIRACULOUS! No need for contacts or glasses. I see everything better at all distances. The world is brighter and colors are more vibrant. Dr. Schmidt operated on one eye, then two weeks later, the second. The procedure was painless and recovery quick. If you're eligible, do not hesitate to get it done. I highly recommend the multi-focal solution even though you may have to pay out-of-pocket. Dr. Schmidt is truly expert, and he's done over 10,000 procedures. Beyond his surgical skill and expertise, he leads his team well. They are all well trained and motivated. Special shout-outs to office manager Ashley, who's the best. She told me to say that in my review :-) but it is true. She's the perfect wingman to Dr. Schmidt and between the two of them, they addressed every question and concern in easily understood terms. Mykaela and Vy were my techs, and they are just as good. They are personable and professional, ensuring Dr. Schmidt has all the info he needs when he conducts his exams. The front office team that greets and schedules follow up is very sharp and engaging. I cannot imagine a better experience than I had with this truly life-changing procedure.

I called her office because her number was listed for another MD. She talked in a rushed tone and…read moreshe repeated herself several times preventing me from getting a word in. I understood that Dr.Imoto said the other MD was not at her clinic, however if she stopped talking over me the call would have been shorter. Eventually, I got a word in and asked what was the other MD's number and she said "I'm in the middle of a telehealth with a patient. You can look it up in the phone book." Well, I'm sorry for disturbing you. I understand you're busy, but if you're in the middle of a telehealth with a patient why did you answer the call? I was expecting the front desk to answer. You could have easily said, "Hi, I'm sorry I'm with another patient. Can I transfer you to my front office?" Is that hard? Absolutely not. I've spoken to other doctors who speak calm, respectfully, and would not have handled that phone call as she did.

RUN! The father is an arrogant prick. Yelled at me for asking questions, refused to answer anything…read moreI asked. Refused to complete a full panel because it "was an economic problem and I'm not going to spend money for one patient." Talked over me and interrupted me the entire time. It took everything in me not to tell him to treat me with respect. Worst of all, he used my BUTT as a clipboard. I can't imagine any doctor doing that to a male patient. It was absurd. Do not go here. This behavior would never fly on the mainland. He is only employed because he has a short waiting list (I wonder why?) and there are so few specialists on island. In terms of medical care, he forgot about me after giving the pin test, rendering the result invalid. Clearly he messed up, because I've gone to other allergists before and I am severely allergic to cats and dogs, but the result came out negative. The place is just a money mill, as evidenced by the dad running in and out of rooms. He refused to order a blood test for the full panel, too. The explanation is because he would not be willing to give me allergy shots for it (due to "economic reasons.") His obligation is to complete a full test regardless of whether it will result in financial benefit. It's my right to know what I'm allergic to, but he doesn't want me to take those test results to a different doctor who would be able to provide actual care based on the results of a full allergy panel. Apparently he has a reputation for being an incompetent jerk. The employees at the lab said as much.

My experience with Dr. Kushner has been excellent. I've been dealing with severe eczema and…read moreallergies my entire life. I was also dealing with severe fatigue and inflammation. My allergies and eczema got exponentially worse after moving to Maui. I used to take several different types of topical, nasal, and injectable steroids and allergy pills, yet I would still wake up and sneeze 30 times in a row and be congested all day. I also suffered from intense, debilitating itching due to eczema and could not even go to the beach anymore. I was tired of the medication side effects and was literally at my wits end. Luckily, I found a good review of Dr. Kushner on Yelp and that pushed me to make an appointment. I was not sure what she could do for me, but was wanting to try a natural method as traditional ways of medicine were not working. My allergies, eczema, fatigue, and inflammation are now able to be well controlled through the natural methods prescribed by Dr. Kushner. I no longer need steroids. She is extremely knowledgeable and her help has been life changing. I was surprised to see how thorough she is. She really takes the time to understand your issues. I never would have thought that my symptoms would improve so much with supplements, dietary, and lifestyle changes. I HIGHLY recommend booking an appointment with her!!

In late 2016 our son experienced a massive life threatening anaphylactic episode landing him in the…read moreemergency room. We took him to the best Doctors and Specialists we could find and ran all the tests we could. We decided to fly our son to Queens Hospital to see an allergist to no avail. The Doctors ran allergy tests, skin prick tests, thyroid test, blood tests, liver ultrasounds. The only allergens found were to dust mites, roaches, & scallops. He also had secondary reactions to steroids and antibiotics given to him at the hospital. We were told it was idiopathic anaphylaxis and we would most likely never find the cause or the cure. He was instructed to carry epi-pens at all times. Our son has since had 3 more anaphylactic episodes the last one in November of 2017. We decided to seek alternative help and contacted Dr. Kushner. Dr. Kushner met with me first and just listened to me for over and hour about the events leading up to my son's first episode. It was so nice to be heard for a change. We set up an appointment for my son at a later date. Dr. Kushner spent several hours just talking and listening to our son. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone who actually listened. After Dr. Kushner gathered all the information & lab results she formulated a plan to help our son. He has since lost more than 23 pounds, the visible inflammation throughout his body has been drastically diminished, and most importantly of all he has not had an anaphylactic episode since we started with Dr. Kushner. His last episode was the one he had in November 2017 and It will be June 2018 this Friday. This will be the longest stretch that our son has had no anaphylaxis. We can not thank Dr. Kushner enough for all she has done. Mahalo
