Update: unfortunately because of this review my family has faced backlash from this doctor. Last tip I will give is: if you have a birth plan, stay strong and keep discussing with Dr. Pratt so she fully understands. My sister who was doula had a run in with Dr Pratt when her patient wanted to adhere to her birth plan and the doctor refused. She had no problem telling my sister off outside in the hall, making sure that my sister knew who the doctor was and who was the doula.. well, what about the mama? She made this birth plan for a reason. be careful ladies this is your birth story make sure you are in charge of how you want your baby to come into this world read more

After reading my Yelp Review, this doctor didn't call me to talk. She didn't reply to my concern and use it as an opportunity to center humanity. Instead she reached out to another doctor, who encouraged me to remove my Yelp Review. I was told that my "job could be in danger." Angela Pratt was more concerned about the Yelp Review than my actual health. I hope this update protects women from having a similar experience as I question her empathy, and now her ethics. read more

I was really looking forward to having Dr. Pratt as my Ob for my first birth based on yelp reviews and one professional referral, but unfortunately it didn't turn out as expected. She was great on the first visit, but during our second visit, there was some miscommunication in information from the specialty OB and she wasn't very patient while we were trying to work out the understanding. Among the other instances of patronizing us when explaining, she chided my husband for not attending the appointment, which he would have gladly done if we had known it was an important one. She was also very short in relaying to us she had to attend to another patient (I had no issues with her attending to another patient, only in the manner in which she did it). I had to wonder if she was haven't an off day. I would given the practice another try because, perhaps, she was having a bad day, but towards the end of the appointment, frustrated from trying to clear up the miscommunication, Dr. Pratt took off her mask to speak clearer?? Not sure why. She had been fully vaccinated but I was still waiting for my second shot. It was unprofessional, and a risk to a pregnant women. If there was science behind why it was ok to do that, I wish she would have explained it to before she took it off. Additionally, when I was inquiring about a bill, their accountant Bonnie (I've seen other terrible reviews about her since), was very uncooperative. Under my HMSA insurance, I shouldn't be charged for prenatal appointments so upon learning I had a bill, I inquired for understanding. I learned from HMSA the claim for my visit with Dr. Pratt was for Amenorrhea. Amenorrhea is when menstruation is absent during the reproductive years, between puberty and menopause. I asked them to help me understand why I would be bill for amenorrhea when, of course, I wasn't getting my period because I was pregnant. After going in circles without a clear explanation from Bonnie, she then blurted out "Oh, its only $40ish, you can't pay that?!?!" The question for me wasn't a matter of price (although it would have been insulting and a shame if I happen to be someone who couldn't pay that), but of proper, professional, and ethical practices, which it was apparent that Bonnie didn't seem to respect. I did later get a better explanation from Jen the receptionist which I found reasonable and helped resolve the question. (Jen's great btw. Super nice, friendly, patient and a pleasure to work with.) Shame it had to turn out the way it did with Bonnie for what was obviously a lack of information/misunderstanding. read more

Dr. Pratt is perhaps one of the most warm, wonderful doctors you could ever imagine. In addition to the amount of time and care she gives with each appointment, she listens with so much empathy and we are grateful that our first child will be born under her care. In addition, WOW, Jen & the entire office staff is beyond extraordinary. Seriously, I don't think I've ever experienced such an efficient and "there for you" team to help with any insurance nonsense, scheduling or need you might have. read more

I was recommended by another friend who swears that Dr. Pratt is the best doctor in her field in Honolulu. She's definitely right. She's fashionable, funny, comfortable and spunky. After getting to know her on the first appointment, she wanted me to proactively check and prepare myself for when I do want to start a family. How awesome is that? I can't wait until she delivers my babies! By the way, she made it on Honolulu's Best Doctors magazine. When she found out my friend got engaged, she went out to the lobby to meet the lucky man and gave her a "goodie bag" filled with condoms and other goodies. Too funny but cute! She's still taking new patients but I don't know how long that will last. So many good doctors get filled up fast. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Pratt for maybe a decade or so. She really is the best and her staff are very nice and helpful all the time. You will get the best care! read more

I had a horrible experience with Dr. Pratt. Like others here, she came highly recommended and was even written up in magazines as the best ob/gyn in Honolulu. At my very first appointment (I was about 9 weeks along) she seemed so kind and friendly and like she was actually genuinely excited and happy for us. Then things started to go down hill, as every single one of my appointments were canceled or rescheduled after that (because of the office calling me to reschedule, not because I needed to reschedule!) Most without 24 hours notice. In total, 6 out of 7 of my appointments were rescheduled. This was an issue because I was a waitress and I needed to give my job two weeks notice of any appointments that would require me to be off the schedule for that shift. But it was something I was willing to look past. Then, her receptionist, Bonnie, started to be outlandishly rude to me. When I was about 5 months pregnant, she told me I owed them about $500, completely out of the blue. Turns out, she had been mailing my insurance claim to the wrong P.O. box. Again, not because I had made and error, but because she had. She told me I needed to find a new ob/gyn because they didn't want me there... with NO prior notice or anything that she had trouble with filing my insurance. I called my insurance before I even left the office and they said there was no problem and Angela Pratt was covered and even offered to speak to Bonnie. Still, not THAT big of a deal - but it's still scary to be refused from your ob/gyn's office when you're already 5 months along and it's your first pregnancy. Then she kept forgetting to save me a flu shot, and forgot whether she gave me the flu shot or not. Which was a little scary, since she's my doctor. The worst of the worst came when I was 7 months pregnant. I had been having scary abdominal pains and was worried about the baby. I called physician's exchange and she just told me to wait to come in tomorrow for my regularly schedule appointment (the monthly appointment that had been scheduled over a month before). I came into her office, still with pains, when they told me to go in the back and remove my clothes so she could examine me. I waited for an hour and a half in the examination room with no clothes on - even calling my mother to ask her if this was normal and if this ever happened to her when she was pregnant. Finally a nurse came in and said "I'm sorry, Dr. Pratt can't see you today, she was just called to delivery, we have to reschedule, unless you would like to wait for her to come back." I explained that I had been having abdominal pains and was worried about the baby so I would wait for her. I didn't want to leave until I knew the baby was ok and the pain was normal. The nurse seemed annoyed that I said I would wait and left. About ten minutes later Dr. Pratt came in, not in scrubs or anything, but with heels and perfect make-up and hair... definitely looking like it was an office day for her, and not like she had just been delivering a baby. I started to say "Oh thank god you could see me, I'm worried about these pains" but she cut me off and said: "This is a private practice. I don't think you fit in here and you need to find a new ob/gyn." She just said it. My mouth dropped open. I was still sitting there in the little paper outfits they give you when they ask you to take your clothes off. "But I'm worried about these pains, can you please just tell me if the baby is alright?" at this point I was actually crying in front of her. I was terrified. It can take months to find a new ob/gyn and I was already 7 months pregnant with my first baby! "No, I can't." She said. "But I don't understand what happened." I said. "This is a private practice and I don't think we're a good fit." She repeated. "But why?" my boyfriend asked. "You don't need to yell at me, sir." she said. "I'm sorry, I wasn't yelling." he said. Then she turned around and started writing on her clip board. She didn't even leave the room to allow me to get dressed in private, I just got dressed scared and crying and worried about my baby and then booked it out of there as fast as I could, embarrassed and concerned and devastated that I suddenly had no ob/gyn and didn't know why. The next Saturday, after I already scheduled an appointment with another doctor (Dr. Savala) Dr. Pratt called me and said she had a little bit of a nervous breakdown and was sorry for kicking me out of her office when she knew I was having abdominal pains. She said if I wanted to come in Monday at 8 am she would check to make sure the baby was alright. I had scheduled a "babymoon" with my boyfriend till Tuesday so I couldn't make Monday at 8 am - the only time she offered. Since this happened, I have heard almost the exact same story from OTHER women who had this happen to them with Dr. Pratt! If this is your doctor, I just hope you're on her good side, because I would hate for this to happen again. read more

Is it possible to be polite and be void of empathy? With my personal experience with Dr. Angela Pratt's office, this was the case. My critique is based on how they treated me when it came to explaining my missing insurance card and when I tried to pick up my refund check on August 19. No complaints about past appointments or how I was diagnosed. They accepted my payment in cash every visit without a problem and I explained that my insurance cards were still delayed. I signed up for the Hawaii Health Connector in February 2015 and my plan started in March. I never received my HMSA insurance cards until the end of May 2015. First visit with Dr. Pratt was March 6. No complaints with those visits and the two other appointments I had on March 30 & April 30. My last fetal diagnostics exam was on May 18. I was worried that they found I was placenta previa so I was looking forward to getting a diagnosis from Dr. Pratt on May 20. Day before my appointment, Bonnie from Dr. Pratt's called and told me that they were concerned they haven't seen my insurance cards. I tried to explain that HMSA delayed sending me the insurance cards but I will still pay out of pocket if needed. Bonnie told me on the phone, "Why didn't I go on my husbands insurance." I replied back, "Have I not been paying cash every visit?" Bonnie replied, "We're not a clinic, we don't normally take in new patients." Bonnie continued to scold me for not taking care of my insurance. For a woman trying to juggle work, baby, and husband, these remarks are condescending. It's rude to imply that I need my husband for a solution, that I was expecting some kind of hand out, and that I was not taking my pregnancy seriously. Obviously insulted, I said "I've explained my situation, I simply want to know, will the doctor take me or not?" Bonnie, perturbed, told me she'll call back with an answer. She left a message on my phone saying that the doctor couldn't take me because I didn't have insurance. Needless to say, the superfluous HMSA cards came in the last week of May. I called Dr. Pratt's office mid June to request a refund for the cash payment from my three visits (minus the deductibles). I explained that I did have insurance since March 2015. They said they would let Bonnie know and keep me updated. On July 1, still no update from Dr. Pratt. I asked my husband to call. He spoke to Bonnie and said that she had not processed my paperwork and it would take three more weeks. On August 13, I called Dr. Pratt's and Bonnie said the doctor was out of the office but she would mail the check to me next week. My midwife was concerned about my placenta previa and wanted to check if my medical records were faxed to my new doctor. August 19, I did a walk-in to Dr. Pratt's office to sign a waver form for my medical records. I also asked if they had mailed my check and if I can pick it up that day. Bonnie told me that the doctor was with a patient and that she will sign the check shortly. After waiting patiently, the doctor asked me to talk to her. She said they usually take a month to mail it out. I was a bit confused and I asked to clarify if it takes a month to request for the medical records or the check. She clarified that it was for the check and I replied. "It's been more than a month." Dr. Pratt said (in an irritated tone), "No, it hasn't." turned her back from me and walked away. I proclaimed (while the door was closing on me,) I understand you may not have the information that it's been over a month, but it's been quite some time!" The front ladies, then called me again to talk privately and told me that the doctor was upset. I responded quite defensively, "She's upset? I'm the one that should be upset." "Do you know how long it takes to find a doctor when you're pregnant?" I replied, "I just want to finish this paperwork so I can leave." I walked away shook and said, "Have some compassion for this pregnant one." In retrospect, wouldn't it have been easier to tell me that the check wasn't ready? This personal experience has left me with such great doubts about the authority and power that the medical profession think they have over us. It's led me to a path where I believe we should all demand some compassion from our health care providers paranoid of malpractice and not be considered as just another pregnant cash cow. Don't all women deserve that? If you are a new mother and want to be around women that remember the human experience of giving birth and providing for another lady, I would not recommend seeing Dr. Angela Pratt. Instead, try to seek out caring midwives and/or doctors that have more patience and time especially when it comes to new mothers. I would highly recommend Dr. Susan Vicenti and her staff in Kailua and my naturapathic physician and midwife, Dr. Ye Nguyen. I would also recommend researching the Bradley Method, my Honolulu teacher is Julia Vergara. Thank you for taking the time to read my experience. read more

Personally, I found Dr. Angela Pratt to be a VERY ATTENTIVE, concerned and down-to-earth individual! I first found out about Dr. Pratt through various magazines such as Honolulu's Best as well as reviews from others online. I am very picky and particular with OB/GYNs due to an unfortunate incident with my previous OB/GYN. Also, being a registered nurse myself, I only want the best care, as I know what services I am capable of having. It took me about 4 months to actually get an appointment set up with Dr. Pratt because her patient load was so full. I waited patiently, and was embraced as a client when upon meeting Dr. Pratt. She listened to my medical hx and showed much concern for my situation and accommodated to everything. I could tell she sincerely wanted to take good care of me. Did I mention she has a great sense of humor?! Dr. Pratt delivers at both Queens and Kapiolani, and I've heard she has a reputation for trying to deliver ALL of her babies. GREAT!! Shes been a joy to be with so far, and I'm very satisfied! read more

Dr. Pratt is the very best OB-GYN I've ever been to. In fact, she's one of the top 3 doctors I've ever been to. She really is amazing. For me, she has gone so far above and beyond what I've come to expect as normal - my experience with her compared with other doctors is nothing short of extraordinary. Yes, occasionally the wait is long, but it's so worth it when you experience first hand just how thorough and thoughtful Dr. Pratt is. She really cares about her patients and her work, and that makes her absolutely worth waiting for. I know that when she's in the room with me, I have her complete attention. I've never gotten the feeling that she was rushed in any way to see me and move on to the next patient. She answers every one of my questions and after an especially difficult time for me, followed up with me immediately via text message and made herself available for any questions, at any time, via her personal cell number. No doctor has ever treated me with such sincere care. I feel so lucky to have her as my doctor. I feel safe and incredibly comfortable in her care. Dr. Pratt's staff is friendly and efficient, and the waiting room and patient rooms are all clean and comfortable. read more

She has great personality and makes you feel so comfortable. She's super nice and spunky! I love her office staff--they're always so nice and friendly. Dr.Pratt's office is so clean and nicely decorated, and she did the interior decorating herself! read more

Dr. Pratt delivered my son four years ago. She is an amazing doctor. I completely trust her and felt I was in the best hands. I am continuously impressed with her level of experience. She truly cares and has a great bedside manner. I did experience long wait times a few times in her office but she was always worth the wait! I highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Pratt and the ladies on staff are absolutely amazing. So down to earth, so friendly and super helpful. They're always apologetic of wait times or if they have to move my appointment (which I know is a pain point for a lot of people), but seriously it's so worth it. Most times it's because Dr.Pratt is delivering a BABY, and I'm pretty sure if you were the one giving birth, you would want her full attention. Sometimes she's late to appointments because of that as well, but I'm totally fine with that because the way everyone makes me feel at the office is worth waiting. Also they're extremely professsional- they know how to do their job well and still have fun, which honestly is an important balance. They're like family and I'm so glad I was referred to Dr. Pratt. If you get a chance to get squeezed in- don't wait on that opportunity- you won't regret it for sure!!!! read more

Not sure about the negative reviews. So far, Dr. Pratt has been wonderful. She has kept all of her appointments but was a little late for one due to an emergency. You have to expect that an OB/GYN will be busy and certain things can occur that you can't control. Throughout every visit, she has been cheery, helpful, and supportive. I think she has a wonderful bedside manner. I was referred to her by Dr. Benton Chun. She was also there when Dr. Chun had to perform a painful procedure. She was there to assist him, and held my hand and helped me through it. I am glad I got referred to Dr. Pratt and look forward to her delivering my child. read more

I've never had a bad experience with Dr. Pratt since I've been her patient for several years. Her staff is always friendly and pleasant when I visit. Most recently I gave birth to my first child, a beautiful baby girl. I had a great pregnancy and Dr. Pratt was there to answer questions, give guidance and was personable and professional the entire journey. When it came time to give birth, I can look back and say how thankful I am that I have Dr. Pratt as my OB/GYN. I had to be dilated and induced since my baby was late.The long process ended up with me getting an emergency cesarean. The entire time I was in the hospital, I knew she was "there" and aware of my stats - even when she was away. She checked up on me about once a day and really made me feel like I was in good hands, even when I was scared of what was happening. Dr Pratt has a wonderful, touching bedside manner. She really cares about her patients and it shows. I highly recommend her to all women. read more

Dr. Pratt is the best OBGYN I have ever met. I have never had a bad experience with her. I don't know why some people say bad thing about her because she is NOTHING but great!!!!! I would recommend her to any women. She is truly the best OB in Hawaii. She also cares about her patients. After all the patients she has she still always remembers what we talked about last time I had an appointment. I been with her for more than 10 years now and I keep HMSA just so I can stick with her. My jobs give me free Kaiser insurance but I would prefer to pay for HMSA just to have Dr.Pratt. I love her!!! She is going to deliver my first baby and one day!!!!! read more

Dr Angela Pratt is a good doctor, seemed distracted and in a hurry however. I was very very very upset by her staff. The receptionist was rude and this was my second visit ever to a on/gyn doctor. I was recommended by a friend so I was expecting to feel comfortable especially because I was so nervous once again. The nurses acted like my issue was not important and blew me off. At one point she rolled her eyes at me. I left the office crying and I'm not going back. I would not recommend Dr Pratt to my friend! read more

I had a horrible experience with Dr Pratt. She came highly recommended and I saw her as my GYN for about 2 years with no problem, she was a lot of fun and easy to get along with, but when I got pregnant in 2010, she totally changed. She constantly found things that "could be wrong" with my baby and made me a nervous wreck. i felt fine and after a bunch of tests found out my baby was fine every time. Almost every one of my prenatal check ups took over 2 hours, 1 hour and 55 minutes of that was just waiting! I wrote up a birth plan and discussed it with her and was put down as a crazy pregnant lady as she crossed off almost every single one of my wishes dismissing them as impossible. At 42 weeks exactly, she required that I get induced (something that I was not comfortable doing) and that required every one of the few birth plan options I had left to be ignored. When I disagreed with her use of internal monitors, she ordered the nurses to stop my induction (which I was 3 hours into) stalling my labor. When she finally showed up in my room again she began yelling at me about how I did not love my baby and I should just take drugs and get over it. I was in tears when my husband took her outside and told her how inappropriate she was acting. She came in to apologize but I was already beyond feeling ok with her. My baby and I both came out perfectly healthy from the labor but emotionally I felt battered and would never recommend her to anyone. read more

I rarely leave 1 star but this is such bs! Just got turned away for an appt I made 8 months ago because I switched my insurance and she no longer takes what I have now. I explained that the main reason I signed up for this one is bc she is on their list. Well then the story changed Oh well she's reached her quota and since you've only been here once.... So then asked if I could pay cash. They didn't look too happy and even give me an exact number. $200. Maybe $254. But then I wouldn't be allowed to come back bc she doesn't like cash. Fine!! Well I do like cash so I will keep mine and go somewhere else who does have quotas on insurance! read more

I recently gave birth to a wonderful baby girl, but the pregnancy was absolutely horrible. Thank goodness Dr. Pratt and her staff were wonderful. The pregnancy was just one complication after another. It was painful and scary from about 10 weeks onward, but she and her staff were so supportive and so compassionate, it made it a little easier to get through. I thought that the delivery day was going to be the hardest part, but Dr Pratt turned my breech baby c-sec into the easiest day of the 9 months. Surgery was a breeze. She actually hugged me and held my hand during the epidural. Recovery was a breeze. She checked on me and baby every day in the hospital. Best experience of my life. We are so grateful. read more

Dr. Pratt and her staff are excellent! My personal experience was great. I had seen Dr. Pratt before but started going to a gyn in Kailua closer to home, free parking. Well turned out that doc wasn't so great and when I seemed to have actual health concerns, I didn't trust that doctor with my care. So I made a last minute appointment with Dr. Pratt seeing if there was any way they could squeeze me in, explaining my situation. They were very understanding and although she was booked out for weeks, they said they could fit me in 2 days (Friday). Perfect! They also gave me a heads up saying the wait will likely be long because I don't have a formal appointment, that I'm just being worked in between patients. No problem! I got a follow up call the day before reminding me of my appointment and to bring my medical card. The day of, I checked in and everything was seamless. It took about an hour before I was seen which is actually better than I expected. What was unexpected was that the staff was extremely apologetic for the wait when they were doing me a favor. That was really cool! During the visit, Dr. Pratt listened to all the symptoms and came across as concerned and genuine. After factoring everything, she decided an ultrasound was necessary and that's when she discovered that both my ovaries were infested with cysts. She diagnosed me with PCOS, poly cystic ovarian syndrome. She said it's the reason for the irregularities, weight gain, etc. and prescribed a specific BCP to help regulate it. What was really frustrating to me is that years ago, before Dr. Pratt was my gyn, my dermatologist suggested that I may have PCOS and to schedule an appointment with my gyn. I did. The gyn at the time completely dismissed me and that that could even be a possibility. I'm upset that if that doctor had done her job how many years ago and treated me accordingly that I wouldn't have to be dealing with everything that I am right now. With that, I appreciate Dr. Pratt and her team very much! read more

Dr Pratt has been absolutely incredible for both of our pregnancies! My wife was super nervous for our first one, as she is a very tiny woman. Dr. Pratt And her staff were Great at answering all of our questions and putting our minds at ease. They were also very flexible with us about scheduling which came in handy as I have my own business but still wanted to go to as many appointments as possible. We found Dr. Pratt on one of Honolulu's Best Doctors lists and we couldn't agree more. I think two children is the limit for us, but if we find ourselves caught by surprise we will definitely be seeing her again LOL! read more

I switched to Dr. Pratt after being recommended by a friend about 7 years ago because I knew I wanted her to deliver my future babies. The first time I met her she was awesoem! She asked a lot of questions and took notes so she doesn't forget. SHe got to know me and made me feel comfortable. Back in 2009 when I told her I got engaged, she asked for permission to go outside and meet my fiance (now my husband). How sweet is that! And since then she has delievered our first baby! She is great at what she does and I've always had complete confidence that she is truly the best in her field. I have referrered 3 of my friends to Dr. Pratt who all love her! Her office staff are also on it. Anytime I call to ask questions, they always get back to me right away. read more

I feel so fortunate I feel so fortunate to have been refereed to Dr. Pratt. Her office is clean. Her staff is professional. But that is what you should expect. Dr. Pratt cared and showed a lot of compassion and listened very well to my concerns. Dr. Pratt took a conservative route and had me a take a few extra tests late in my pregnancy to follow up on some early results that were borderline high just to be sure everything was going well and discovered I had developed late in the pregnancy, gestation diabetes. Luckily it was not a real issue, Dr. Pratt gave me a referral to speak with a specialist and a dietician with this combo I was fortunate to able to control it with diet and monitoring. When it came time for the delivery of our baby, Dr. Pratt really took the time to review us our Birth Plan and took our requests to heart and reviewed it with the staff at the hospital. She was very up front with being sure we understood that in the end the baby will do what the baby wants and that she will have to do what is best for baby. Dr. Pratt followed up with us during the labor process which was a planned induction and let us know that she has the information from the monitoring available to her at home and on her smart phone. She came in and personally introduced us to the staff at Kapiolani that would assist. Her bedside manner was very good, she was very confident and let us know what to expect during this worrisome time by reviewing with us what should happen and what may happen so that if things don't go according to plan we will be prepared. When things didn't go according to plan, Dr. Pratt called early and we spoke on the phone so that I could mention my concerns and she could address them and she made me feel heard and more confident about the actions that she was planning. While the Labor did not go according to plan, Dr. Pratt had talked to us about the options that can happen according to what is best for baby. The Labor turned into an emergency C section and Dr. Pratt was there for the surgery and the Delivery. After the delivery she came and followed up with us and we joked about "That you just have to do what is best for baby, he was too cozy in there and didn't want to come out, but we had to do what is best for baby and mommy" not mention the fact the she delivered the biggest baby of the day. Dr Pratt came in to visit every day while we were at the hospital and gave great follow up advice and communicated with us what to look for and what to do during the recovery process. I wish I didn't wait so long to write this review. Dr. Pratt is such good doctor and I fell very lucky to have Dr Pratt as my Doctor. read more

Dr. Pratt is an amazing doctor here in Hawaii. She's a lead top specialist in her field and very grounded in who she is. I appreciate her professionalism and warmth. Doctors of this stature are hard to find. I am very comfortable with her. Especially bc she's a woman. Mahalo read more

Dr. Pratt doesn't only practice as an obgyn. She is the chief obgyn of Kapiolani Women's and Children's hospital and she founded her own clinic for non invasive physical therapy/restoration treatments (many of which she was piviotol in developing). She is active in research and development and created an endowment for women's medical research at UH. She cares about her patients and the future of women in childbirth and in medical careers. As one of her patients for 14 years I can say she is very dedicated to her long term patients. Despite her many commitments she has made time for me on weekends and by her personal phone for emergencies. She does not need to take on or probably even continue to practice, but she does for those patients who she already has. This may explain why if there are complications with you or your insurance she is not likely to keep you as a patient, her time is very limited and she is not only a practicing obgyn. Dr. Pratt is always real with me about my health and what is actually needed, she remembers personal details of my life and asks about my career. She is a graduate of Kamehameha schools, great to see successful local women in medicine! She can relate to local women/girls and the issues we experience(I've been seeing her since my teens). She took me back after a long period of being away because I had been her patient for so long even though she wasn't accepting new patients, I was very lucky. I came back from big island to see her, she explained I have to come to her every year to stay on as a patient. She also uses the old school pap smear equipment which is much less painful than the new large plastic equipment. You don't even feel it, she is so good! I went somewhere else while I was away and I was so upset. Will post another review after I have babies with her. read more

I love Dr. Pratt! I feel so lucky to have been referred to her because she is so kind, caring and attentive. I started seeing her during my first pregnancy and she was always so patient with me even though I always had a lot of questions. She always listened to my concerns and was always very caring towards me. She also shared her experience with her pregnancy so it was nice to have someone that I could relate to. Not only was she great during my pregnancy but also during the delivery and postpartum care. She visited us in the hospital everyday and it was always nice to see her smiling face. She was always a great doctor but I think she went above and beyond when our son had to be taken to the NICU. It was a shock to us because when he was born, everything seemed fine. I was very emotional and she knew it. She helped me to feel better by saying encouraging words to me. It helped me a lot and it felt nice to see that she truly cared not only for me but for my child. I could not have had a better doctor. She truly is the best and I feel very lucky to have her as my doctor. read more

Her workload (number of patients) seems a bit heavy. On my last visit, she appeared to have forgotten details of my last visit which was a just few months before...I realized this when her comments seemed inappropriate to the follow up. She appears to be more interested in the baby bearing age...which is her interest. Does anybody know a physician who does gynecology only? read more

I was referred to Dr. Angela Pratt by Dr. Benton Chun as he no longer does deliveries. I thought I had a pretty good experience when Dr. Chun delivered my first child, but after just having my second child a few months ago, I can say that I had a truly wonderful, joyful experience with Dr. Pratt as my OB!!! I was nervous about having a new doctor, but Dr. Pratt took all my worries away during that first visit. I never felt rushed and I felt like she took ALL of my concerns seriously. It was also great to know that she had been in my shoes before as she is a mother herself. I felt that our beliefs about the birthing experience matched. You know how some doctors can be bossy or cut you off because they know better or they have a God complex? She's not like that at all! I had some concerns about how my first childbirth experience went down, and she talked me through it. She put my mind at ease and I knew I could trust her when the time came. When my baby finally decided he was ready to come out, Dr. Pratt met us later at the hospital with a smile and positive energy. The delivery was truly a joyful time and I felt very much in control of my body, which is pretty important to a laboring mom! Even now, months later, my husband and I are still talking about how awesome it was! The office is clean and the staff is nice! I had to bring my toddler along to almost every appointment and they were very accommodating. Dr. Pratt was so friendly with her. My daughter just loved her too (and still talks about her!). Yes, sometimes the wait can be long. But that is the nature of her profession - sometimes she needs to be with someone else or needs to duck out to deliver a baby and I understood that and was prepared. She also made herself available to me via her personal cell number, which was great towards the end when I needed to reach her most. Dr. Pratt has a wonderful bedside manner and I look forward to her delivering my next baby! read more

Dr. Pratt is caring, has great bedside manner and is excellent in her field. So glad she's my doctor!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Pratt for 3 yrs. I have a number of friends who also see her. She has delivered all their babies who are healthy. It did take some time before I could get my initial apt with Dr. Pratt, but once you are one of her patients, it is easy to schedule appts. I did have some waiting time during my appts, but you have to remember she is an OB/GYN and emergencies will arise. My initial appt was very different than all other OB/GYNs that I have been to. She brings you into her office and spends a fair amount of time with you going over family history and all other important aspects that affect your life. After talking to me, she then did the examination. All OB/GYNs who I have seen previously walk in the room and talk to you while doing their examination. Dr. Pratt is one of the very few doctors I have come across who is very, very attentive. She is extremely present as she listens to you and talks to you. She is genuine, and I feel she really does care about my well-being. She does have a busy practice (which says a whole lot), but when she is with you she really does give you her full attention. I have never felt rushed by her. Besides all that good stuff, her knowledge and experience are top notch, as it is also reflected by her reviews in Honolulu's Best. I highly recommend Dr. Pratt. After my visits, I have never ever thought once to myself that I have to switch OB/GYNs. When I walk out of her office I feel at ease because she fully explains everything and answers all my questions so that I understand. I am extremely grateful to have Dr. Pratt as my OB/GYN! read more

Dr.angela pratt is hands down one of the best! She's just an outstanding person who truly cares about her patients.

Dr. Pratt is my OB and she will be delivering my first baby! She's due in September! She's very attentive and will make time to answer any questions my husband and I have. We have are very happy with Dr. Pratt. Her staff is friendly and professional. Happy to have her as my doctor! read more

OB/GYN DREAM COME TRUE! I will NEVER have anything bad to say about this doctor. She is caring, patient, honest, straight-forward, down to earth, has a great bedside manner, takes a true interest in her patients. She goes out of her way to assuage any concerns you may have during pregnancy, delivery, or anything else in between. I will NEVER trust anyone else with the delivery of my children. My pregnancy was uncomplicated, but during delivery (6 days ago), my DS turned and his shoulders became perpendicular. I had to have an emergency c-section. Dr. Pratt was there with my husband and I the whole time. After surgery, she checked up on me every day (sometimes more than once if I felt I needed her). She showed such compassion and did everything to assure that my recovery will be swift and uncomplicated. She is amazing! The only time I have EVER had to wait or an appointment or be rescheduled has been when Dr. Pratt is delivering a baby. Totally understandable. Anyone who has anything bad to say about this doctor is TOTALLY out of their minds. read more

Dr. Pratt can be attentive, UNTIL something is wrong with you and she can't figure it out. I had abdominal pain and had suspected the possibility of endometriosis- but she didn't look into it further and basically made me feel like it was all in my head. She referred me to a general practitioner who decided that I must have a broken rib. After getting X-rays, it turns out I didn't. Again, she started out being nice, but as things progressed and she found that she couldn't solve my problem, her tone became more defensive. She recommended an IUD that specifically states that if you get heavy and painful periods, as well as migraines, that you should not use it. I have all those symptoms but she still dismissed them and decided I should. After about 6 months of not being listened to, I left her and never looked back. Best decision I made. I have 2 international gynecologists that I see and a local one in Honolulu, and I am getting the best care possible. And by the way, it turned out that there was something wrong with me- I had a severe colon adhesion and went through several hours of surgery. In addition to that, I had several ovarian cysts. Based on reading another negative review I would say that she is prejudiced. It's really unfortunate. I cannot for the life of me understand why she is called the best obgyn in Honolulu. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Pratt's for over a decade. How amazing is she? Well, I live most of the year overseas, and I come back every year for my appointments with Dr. Pratt. She's worth the international flight! And the other staff members are wonderful, too--her nurses and office assistants are friendly, helpful, and genuinely nice people. I can't recommend them enough! read more

The short version: Be aware that even if you're an established, long-time patient, you could be abruptly dropped in the middle of a pregnancy or other serious health condition for NO OTHER REASON than bc yr insurance plan changed. This Dr. Pratt's decision, not that of her staff. The longer version, if interested: I am not one to publically criticize anyone, never written a poor review on Yelp - but months after this happened in 2015, I still felt compelled to warn other current patients. I had been going to Dr. Pratt for 10 yrs. Liked her as a Dr, pleasant & (I thought) had a strong Dr-patient relationship. In hindsight, most of our chats were about "her" latest medical endeavors. I didn't mind, they were interesting & I never had any serious medical concerns of my own. One odd incident - They refused to schedule a very minor procedure (lancing an ingrown hair) together w/ my annual exam. Couldn't understand why I need to make a separate trip for the 30-sec proceedure. Nurse finally intimated that it's bc she wouldn't be able to charge insurance for a separate kind of office visit. Sorta stuck in my craw but I liked her enuff to continue seeing her (& did the pin prick myself. Lol) The REAL SHOCK came after my job of 30 years ended. The prgm I worked had to elminate positions due to loss of Fed funding. At the same time, my parents started needing help w/ aging issues. It was a natural decision to postpone looking for a new job right away, in favor of taking care of them. I had enough funds not to have to start taking out retirement paymts right away. At 58 yrs old, good chance I might return to work when things settle down w/ my parents. Once the 18-mo COBRA period ended, I went onto the Health Connector to sign up for an indiv plan. With no income besides a sm amt on my side business, the Health Connector automatically put me over to Med-QUEST. It was a busy year helping my parents, so it was about 15 mo since my last PAP when I finally got around to scheduling it & then another few mo to get on their schedule once I called. Couple weeks b4 my appt, Dr. Pratt's office called saying they needed to postpone my appt due to a delay in their office renovations. No prob, mine not urgent. THEN the DAY BEFORE my already overdue exam, THEY CALLED SAYING THAT DR. WOULD NOT SEE ME -- BECAUSE SHE HAD REACHED HER REQUIRED MIN QUOTA for QUEST patients. I explained my temporary ins situation & asked them to relay it to her. Having been a patient for 10 years, I was SURE they would call back & say I cld keep my appt. NOT! I asked if Dr. Pratt cld call me back so I could speak to her personally. Omg, they called back & said she refulsed. And that she was ADAMENT about her (self-imposed) policy not to see any more Quest patients this yr. This is a Dr. I thot I knew well & had a good relationship with for the past 10 yrs & now, she wouldn't even talk to me to say bye if she needed to drop me as a patient!? I asked questions to try & understand. 1) It's not like she wouldn't get paid - HMSA or QUEST wd still pay the qualified charges. 2) The limitation to see only the reqjuired min of QUEST patients is nothing imposed by Medicare. 3) It's not like I was asking to be squeezed in to an appt I didn't already HAVE. 4) The gal tried to imply that in part it was bc I had missed my annual exam. WEAK! Most of the delay was because of THEIR schedule for routine appts & a FURTHER delayed at THEIR request. 5) Most insulting was that my appt had been on the books for MONTHS - I could've started looking for another doctor LONG BEFORE the DAY BEFORE when they called to cancel it. For a long-time patient to be adamantly drop-kicked the DAY BEFORE a long scheduled appt W/O so much as a reconsideration due to THEIR short notice & temp ins circumstance - Is this the person she's become, I wondered? There are better ways of managing a patient load. The CLINCHER & a reason I felt compelled to write the warning is that the gal said, "It's not just you. It's the same even for pregnant women MID-TERM." Wow. Just Wow. I am not resentful or angry, I can always find another OB/GYN - Just flabbergasted that any professional would treat a long-time patient that way for no good reason. Perhaps she was going thru some kind of personal or emotional issue at the time. If so I can understand & only wish her the best. But it's hard not to wonder if all those shiney glamour articles & best physician accolates have gone to her head. Sad - She used to be such a talented & caring doctor. Be careful what you wish for & the success you think will make you happy. read more

Where to begin. Ok Dr. Pratt has been my OB/GYN for over 6 years. When I had my 1st daughter I wasn't too thrilled to being examined down there. But Dr. Pratt made it comfortable. I had my daughter at a young age and I had the fear if judgement. But Dr. Pratt did not make any comments. She treated me like a normal patient. I recently had my 2nd daughter which Dr. Pratt had delivered also. My 2nd time around motherhood wasn't as easy for me. I had many problems and I can admit I was one of those pest patients. I bothered her on weekends and nights. But she understood. I love her. She helped me through the rougest times. Not to mention her staff. She picks good medical assistants. They're all nice and helpful. I remember when it was only her and shauna. But her new staff is loving too. There's usually 1 MA in every office that isn't so pleasent but not Dr. Pratt's office. They're all very friendly and loving. read more

Best dr experience of my life. For 10 years from age 18-27 I had been told by 3 different doctors that I was fine and nothing was wrong with me even though I was bent over in abdominal pain or in the fetal position on their floor. I was sent to the ER a few times because they said they couldn't help me. I asked if I had something called endometriosis (my roommate had it and the symptoms seemed similar) and I was told that my PAP test was normal and that I did not have it. When I moved to Honolulu I was referred by a friend to Dr Angela Pratt. She ran several test on me and concluded that it seemed I had endometriosis due to my symptoms and the test results. I was so confused because I had asked my last doctor and she said I didn't have it? Dr Pratt went on to explain that endometriosis cannot be diagnosed unless it is seen (usually with a laparoscopy). But due to my symptoms she thought I had it. She did mention that the amount of endometriosis you have is not related to the amount of pain you have. After my laparoscopy they found I had a severe amount and that it usually takes 6 months to a year to grow back. Mine grew back in 2 months. They performed a second laparoscopy and put me right into Invitro with Dr Benton Chun (also amazing). I ended up having a successful twin pregnancy and dr Pratt orders lots of monitoring during the pregnancy to make sure everything went smoothly. I ended up having a C Section and was up and walking a taking care of my babies right away. I had another child a few years later and had the same result after the c Section. With 4 surgeries under my belt with dr Pratt I can attest that she is a skilled surgeon. I had heard horror stories from friends regarding c sections gone wrong and infected or bad scars. Mine were always perfect. She uses up to date, cutting edge techniques and you cannot see any scars from any of my c sections. Dr Pratt was always so nice to me and so was her office staff. I never had rescheduled appointments from her office and I never had issues with payments. I read a few of the negative reviews here and know that there are two sides to every story. I actually know for a fact that the reviewer named Maria who gave a negative review did not tell the whole story. Maria caused a few problems. She was angry when an elderly woman was seen before her (The elderly woman's appointment was scheduled after Maria's, but the woman fainted in the waiting room and dr Pratt saw her first). This angered Maria and she threw a fit. The elderly woman kept apologizing and she felt so bad. Maria was rude and her boyfriend was yelling at the office staff in another instance when they asked her to reschedule because the doctor had to deliver a baby. Marias boyfriend was demanding to know if it was a c section or not so that he could decide weather to stay or not. The staff explained that it was confidential patient information and he caused a scene and was super angry while we were in the waiting. That is why they told Maria she was not a good fit. It makes me so sad to see these negative reviews when I know how skilled Dr Pratt is. If you want a skilled and knowledgable surgeon... Go to dr Pratt. I am currently in Boston and want to have another baby but I do not want anyone else to perform my surgeries. I am trying to find a way to get back to dr Pratt. read more

I'm not sure what Dr. these people who gave negative reviews saw, but Dr. Pratt is awesome!!! I was referred to her by Dr. Chun after becoming pregnant through IVF. She was there for me every step of the way! I had a very scary pregnancy and was on hospital bed rest for 5 weeks. She was at Kapiolani hospital every day for the entire time I was on bed rest, and when delivering early, was there for me as well! I can not thank her enough!!! If not for her, I may have lost my babies! Thank GOD for Dr. Pratt!!! read more
