Dr. Hayashi is truly the best! I absolutely love him and will continue to see him no matter how far…read morethe drive. I've been his patient for over a decade, making him by far the longest medical relationship I've had. I've always said that if life ever took either of us away from beautiful Hawai'i, he'd be the doctor I'd miss the most. The level of care he provides is extraordinary, and it was evident from my very first visit. His genuine concern and dedication to his patients are truly one-of-a-kind. As someone with a dental phobia and a history of medical trauma, I've always dreaded dental appointments. But Dr. Hayashi has completely changed that for me and each encounter leaves me feeling grateful to have him on my healthcare team. His commitment to patient well-being and his accountability in fostering a better community is exceptional. Over the years, he's been a part of some major changes in my life, and I feel a special kinship with him. We've made incredible progress in my dental journey, and I'm proud of the place we've gotten to together. I'd also like to recognize the amazing front office team--Kerrie, Abi , and the other staff member (whose name I didn't catch). They play such an essential role in keeping everything running smoothly, and I'm always thankful for their friendly and efficient service. Dental assistant Ashlee deserves special mention as well. Her kindness and lively personality make the appointment feel so much more pleasant. Every office needs someone like Ashlee! Although I haven't met the other dentists at the office yet, I'm confident they're excellent.

NO ALOHA, NOT OHANA…read more I asked for help but I was disregarded. I asked for flexibility because it wasn't part of my original treatment plan and was denied. Poor communication, lack of accountability, and zero regard for patients. I'd been complaining about my tooth for months and was told nothing was wrong. Enduring the pain, turned out to be fractured....causing an issue that could have been avoided. Staff informed me that this nearly $1500 procedure where I was responsible for at least half would be "no problem" when I asked to pay monthly, so I agreed to the amount where they said we can work out the payments after. But in the end they demanded full payment immediately and refused any partial payment. To me, it's insult to injury when this was an inconvenient bill that could've been prevented. The fact that I've ALWAYS paid the full amount no matter the cost and asked for them to work with me tells me they DON'T know their customers and they are NOT a family oriented business. Unless my mind is changed, help me find a new dentist!!

Need a root canal in Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawai'i?…read more My neighbor texted me yesterday and asked for a ride home. Immediately, I replied, "Yes!" She explained that she was going to drop her son off at school, leave her car, and walk to get a root canal. I was like... Whaaat? Why don't I drop you off, too? She thought about it and agreed to accept a ride to Apex Endodontics because she needed to take a sedative half an hour before the procedure (because she gets anxiety attacks)... AND... The staff wanted to see who was giving her a ride home. That's a good policy for the safety of the patient! They want to make sure that the patient doesn't drive under the influence! My friend explained where the office was located - on William Henry Road, across from Bank of Hawaii. I knew the building because I used to go to Zippy's next door (before it changed to Deans... And now, it's Café Kalawe). Easy! There's a free shared parking lot. So - the day arrived to exercise my chauffeuring skills. Everything went smoothly - before, during, and after the two-hour procedure! The reception area was clean, bright, and comfortable. The staff were friendly, prompt, and informative. My friend was fine! We even went to lunch after her root canal (she chewed her food on the unaffected side)! Thanks to Dr. Ching and staff for taking good care of my friend!

5 stars -- Root canal redemption! I never thought I'd be…read morewriting a positive review about needing a root canal, but here we are -- all thanks to Dr. Shaikh and the amazing team at Hawaii Endodontics. I'd never had a cavity before, so when my general dentist told me I had a big one that likely needed a root canal, I was honestly in disbelief -- and pretty anxious. The words "root canal" alone had me imagining the worst. Thankfully, a trusted friend referred me to Dr. Shaikh for a second opinion, and I'm so grateful they did. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt cared for. The front desk staff greeted me warmly, and Lynn, the nurse, was an absolute angel. She noticed I was nervous (even though I tried to play it cool!) and immediately made me feel comfortable -- offering me water and making sure I had everything I needed. Dr. Shaikh was kind, calming, and incredibly clear in explaining what was going on with my poor tooth (spoiler: it was super infected) and what my options were. He made the whole thing make sense without overwhelming me. When we decided to go ahead with the root canal, my anxiety started creeping back in -- but it was short-lived. Honestly? It wasn't scary at all. Dr. Shaikh made sure I was fully numb, checked in with me frequently during the procedure, and adjusted things if I felt even a hint of discomfort. And best of all -- it didn't hurt. At all. After the procedure, he walked me through everything he found (infection: gnarly, but conquered!) and explained my aftercare clearly. I had mild soreness once the numbing wore off, but the ibuprofen he prescribed took care of it easily. The aloha spirit is real at this clinic. I never felt rushed, never felt like "just another patient." Everyone there genuinely cared. Even the music was calming -- and Lynn's soothing singing voice could be its own Spotify playlist. :) I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do, I'm 100% going back to Dr. Shaikh. He and the team turned a scary situation into a totally manageable, even positive, experience. So much mahalo to the whole Hawaii Endodontics crew!

But I was immediately at ease with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff and noticed the 'high tech' XRAY process and then some thereafter! As Dr. Hilari worked on my teeth, I was even more at ease as she skillfully proceeded with the processes I came in for. Above this, she first pointed out an area at the base of a tooth where a tiny filling was missing and needed to be replaced. When looking at it with the mirror in hand, that is exactly where I previously questioned about it and let's just leave it at obviously nothing was done. I knew at this point in time she is an awesome dentist! And, imagine how great I felt having something fixed now that I knew previously was an issue for me! There's more! She then pointed out on a front tooth she will fill another tiny area. WHAT? Another situation I was aware of and an issue for me but again, let's just leave it at that. I then told her I could previously feel it with my tongue. There's so much we can feel and detect on our teeth with our tongues; I can. We then had a chat and a good laugh on how common it is for patients to literally point with their tongue at a spot they feel on a tooth and say it's right here! So true! I've done it before. The method of both these 'fixes' was skillful applied coupled with technology of equipment and process which was quite a pleasant experience. Did I just say having dental work was a pleasant experience? Overall it was such a great visit and I am looking forward to my next appointment. It's already booked! Thank you Dr. Hilari Kawakami-Wong and AA Windward Dental Group!
