Dr.Chow is a great dentist and his good at his job I referred my co workers to him and I am 100% sure that they will referrer their friends too , finding a good dentist or doctor these days is not easy . I highly recommend Dr. Chow . Enjoy :) read more

They are wonderful! When you first move, of course the first thing you forget to check on or get is Doctors! My boyfriend actually found Dr. Chow on Yelp, and visited him with a good visit, so I pursued. It was wonderful. I felt so taken care of! Everyone is smiling, happy, helpful and considerate. Especially Dr. Chow and the lady who cleans my teach. We always talk, and they always remember and keep in mind the things I say about my teeth or how I feel when a tooth is bothering me. They are also very up to date with their technology, which is very important to me as I know that they have the best available tools to help their patients. I just went for my second cleaning. And it was awesome. Thank you! read more

Last Wednesday, I was in excruciating pain and found out that I had a cracked tooth, but my dentist couldn't immediately perform the procedure so he gave me penicillin and a pain medication until I came back in 12 days. That Friday, a friend recommended that I contact Dr. Chris Chow at the Ala Moana Dental Group. Dr. Chris & his staff were amazing! I was able to secure an appointment at 12:15 that day and Dr. Chris was able to perform the procedure and give me immediate relief from the pain. A follow up appointment was scheduled for the next week, and they even sent a reminder text to my mobile phone. While I am not a huge fan of going to the dentist, as I am sure most people aren't, this has been one of the best dental experiences, I've ever had. I would recommend anyone who needs a specialist in this area to contact Dr. Chris & the friendly and knowledgeable professionals at the Ala Moana Dental Group. read more

Thieves. Here my situation in brief: My front tooth broke in half. Not enough tooth for a crown. My "treatment" is either a bridge or implant. I don't like bridge cause the one I have (from Matsunaga dentist of Tooth Talk) got decay on both supporting teeth (my fault it is). So doc files down my tooth and makes a FLIPPER, which is a partial denture really. I paid my half for the flipper and the rest is covered by HDS. Now, here is the issue. HDS won't pay the doc until my front tooth is extracted. Implants are like $4K to do, and I dunno if I want to spend all that for one lousy tooth. So I vacillate whether to go ahead or not, whether to go ahead or not, etc.... Now it is 3 months and I still can't decide on this $4K future bill. Then I get email saying your account is going into collections unless I pay around $200. They fail to mention about having the extraction done so they can start the HDS claim. What I am taking issue with is that the office didn't relay this information about the extraction, just said YOU OWE US $200 or it's collection hokey for you! How about saying instead.... "please get the extraction done so our kid dentist can get paid?" To me they are stealing my HDS benefits... I am a senior citizen and it takes some time for me to think about things, especially $4,000 implant bills. Be Patient with your Patient! read more

The New office is state of the art!! Parking is the easiest and free valet in the beautiful Waikiki! Everything is clean like my teeth!! Great job!! read more

I scored a deal by booking an appointment with Dr. Chow. It was my first visit and I was really impressed. The staff is incredibly nice, friendly, and professional. They REALLY did a great job. My teeth were thoroughly inspected and cleaned by the dental hygenist. She also used a special camera to take a picture of my teeth, which shows up on the flat screen TV on the wall for you to see. I also got digital X-Rays, which appear on a computer screen for viewing. The "results" are interpreted by Dr. Chow. I found out I have a cavity! I also received some other suggestions on things I may want to do in the future for my teeth. It was very insightful. I went away with a bag of goodies too. read more

I found this place through yelp so I thought I'd give it a try and of course come back and give yelp my own review. SO! I initially went in b/c of a aching pain in my upper molar (assuming it was a cavity) I was greeted by Jessica the hygienist. We started with the xrays (and they have this flat screen right in front of you and the shots come up instantly so you can see your own xrays right away. very cool :) Then there was the cleaning which was nice b/c Jessica kept the conversation going so it wasn't awkward or boring and also kept telling me how my teeth were in decent condition/fairly clean. It was refreshing to go to a dental exam and hear some positives for once instead of the usual, "you really should floss better" or whatever mean lectures they like to give you. Also, as she was looking at my teeth and doing the regular check up, she kept me informed on exactly what she was looking for/what all the numbers/codes meant..which I thought was really considerate/made them different from other clinics. Also, I might be moving soon and Jessica didn't forget to mention that they email the xrays over to the new dentist if needed which I thought was great! b/c i know xrays are the only things that would really be helpful to a new dentist. Then I met Dr. Chow and we found out that I had a minor cavity/they were going to patch up my filling that chipped off a bit. He also explained to me about crowns and how I'm a perfect candidate, I did feel a bit like he was really trying to push me into it, but he didn't forget to say that it's more of a "want" but after reading all the reviews on him not being a typical dentist that sells unnecessary things..I was a bit surprised. If I didn't bring it up my cosmetic issues, I would've like a more brief suggestion. Sorry Dr. Chow...this is where one of my stars are being dropped. The fillings took about 10-15 mins max? Everything was prompt and Dr. Chow even gave me a post opt call later that night to check up/let me know that was his cell in case of anything. All in all, they are a GREAT team and care more than your average dentist. If I wasn't moving off island, this would be my regular dentist. :( read more

I was a patient of Dr Chow's since he came out of med school. My teeth were very bad because of years of phobia and mistreatment from other dentist. Dr.Chow had the patients and expertise to keep me calm. I wouldn't even sit in the chair without nitrous. However after just a few visits he had me as calm as if I were getting a haircut. I am very proud of my smile now. Thanks to Dr.Chow and his gental demeanor. His office is equipped with the latest high tech equipment, which can really make a difference in your treatment. His staff are very professional including his hygienist. Unfortunately I moved to Colorado. So far I haven't found anyone like Dr. Chow or his office and staff. read more

I wanted to also write a review for my dentist Dr. Chow, because he really is an amazing dentist. I'm used to going in and coming out of a dentist office without building any sort of relationship with my dentist...but with Dr. Chow things are a bit different. He always greets you with a smile, he connects with you, and he explains all the procedures and options thoroughly so that you actually understand. I really appreciate his positive attitude and how serious he takes his patients. I couldn't recommend any other dentist (I don't even remember the names of my past dentists). Thank you Dr. Chow for making my dentist/invisalign visits enjoyable! read more

Doctor Chow is by far the best dentist I've ever had! He really cares about his patients and takes time to get to know people. I have genetic problems with my teeth, and this is the first time in my life I haven't felt anxious about going to the dentist. My very first visit I told him all the problems I had with my last dentist, and he has gone out of his way to make me feel comfortable. I have also had two times now where he's done something for me without charging me. The first time he fixed a filling that my last dentist messed up, but I was so scared to go back because of how much pain he caused me. The second time he redid two fillings that he had done that leaked a little bit. I'm very sad that I'll be losing him as a dentist when I move to the mainland in 3 months. At least I know now that good dentists really do exist. Thank you Doctor Chow for everything! read more

Find your QUALITY OF right here! I have always been unhappy with the color and shape of my teeth. And, now in my 60s, I finally have a brand new sparkling smile to share with the world. What Dr. Chow has done for me is life changing! I am so very grateful. The other professionals in the group are also amazing....knowledgeable, understanding and kind. Don't wait as long as I have for your QUALITY OF LIFE. Thank you Dr. Chow and all of you at Ala Moana Dental Group! read more

When it comes to great service at an awesome value, Dr. Chow and his staff are number one! I've been to many dentists and doctors but Chris is genuinely caring about my health and is always providing extra care on my teeth! From the second I walk into his office to the moment I leave, he never makes me wait and gets the job done quickly and painlessly! Not to mention the tremendous savings he gave me which was half the price of all the other dentists! Please see for yourself and next time you need anything from cleaning to straighting, Chris and his staff is the best!!!! read more

I have been going to Dr Chow for two years now and am very happy he is my dentist. A couple of times I had dental emergencies and Dr Chow always squeezed me in for a exam. Awesome!!! His staff is super friendly and they do top notch work. My teeth are in good hands! Dr. Chow also saw my mother on an emergency basis since she it from the outer islands. Thanks Dr Chow! read more

I am a new patient to Dr. Chow and couldn't be more happy with the service I have received. From scheduling an appointment, to during appointment, to after an appointment, all of my experiences have been extremely pleasant! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new dentist. Scheduling An Appointment: His office staff is great to work with as they are always warm, friendly and efficient. They call and/or text before an appointment to remind you. They also called me once when Dr. Chow was running early. I was able to come in sooner and got on with my day faster. During An Appointment: The office is conveniently located and has parking available in their lot. When you walk through the doors someone always kindly greets you. The office is extremely clean but it is also very welcoming. I have always been seen right away and never waited more than 5 minutes for my appointment. So far, I have seen Dr. Chow for a regular cleaning and to get veneers on my first four front teeth. He is always very friendly, kind and approachable and makes the not so fun task of going to the dentist a lot easier. Dr. Chow was always patient and willing to talk through procedures with me. I always felt like all of my questions were answered and that I was in good hands. His dental hygienists are also very nice and make you feel comfortable. The beautiful ocean views don't hurt either! After An Appointment: Dr. Chow or his office staff usually check up and see how things are going. I have never experienced this level of care before and I am so happy I finally found a dentist that I can count on! Thank you Dr. Chow and everyone at Ala Moana Dental Group! read more

I just went in for a cleaning, and it was a very pleasant experience. Dr. Chow has a clean & modern office, and the staff was very nice! I got to watch ESPN on a new flat screen TV while the hygienist did my cleaning, which made the time go by quickly. It was also pretty cool watching my X-Rays come up on the screen in front of me almost instantaneously. Going to the dentist has come a VERY long way from when I was a kid, and I would recommend anyone reading this to post go see Dr. Chow & his staff. A++ read more

Absolutely thorough, very professional and great service. i have finally found my dentist!

We have been in Hawaii for two years and immediately found Dentist Chow. My wife and I have loved his personal touch, professionalism, and thorough work. The staff are excellent as well. The location is tough to get to at times due to being near the mall but it's worth it as the service is great. We truly lucked out. read more

Awesome experience! I moved here from SoCal. My uncle has been my dentist since I was a kid. Dr. CHOW was good. Very personable, easy going. I chose him because he went to USC. Lol! All of the staff were friendly and smiling very helpful and make you feel at ease. Everyone knowing that fear of the dentist. I would give more stars if I could. Highly recommended read more

Super great and clean place to go even tho it's not the highlight of anyone's day. The staff are great and make you feel welcome asap. Would absolutely recommend. read more

All Smiles!! This California girl is happy with her first visit... Being new to the island, I appreciate the friendly staff and the welcoming environment. Dr. C was very thorough in explaining next steps, and realistic in regards to my dental needs. I look forward to my next appointment! Much appreciated! I feel the Aloha! read more

Awesome dentist . He trusted me (Dr. Chow) for payment plan. We are doing my upper dentures now. Will keep you updated on the results. Dr. Chow is a hard to find dentist in my situation . I am happy Yelp helped me to find him. read more

I was visiting from Utah and accidentally broke a filling early in our trip---this could have REALLY ruined our once in a lifetime vacation to Hawaii!!! Obviously an emergency, I found Dr. Chris Chow on Yelp, and after reading all the great reviews, gave his office a call to make the earliest appointment he had available. His staff was great---got me right in, and I was pleasantly greeted by them in his clean, modern office with a great view of the ocean!!! Like so many people, I hate going to the dentist, especially in a situation like this where I was in a LOT of pain from the broken filling. Dr. Chow was very gentle and was able to quickly and painlessly fix my tooth---he treated me like I was one of his returning patients, even though I was an out of towner just visiting. THANK YOU DR. CHOW, YOU SAVED OUR VACATION!!! read more

I am one of those people who love the dentist, but when I moved I had a hard time finding a dentist that would take care of me the way my old one did. I made my first appointment for a cleaning months ago. The staff was very friendly, prompt, clean, and made me feel comfortable. After my first visit I decided to finally commit to Invisalign to fix a few problems in my smile and bite. I was so relieved to know they had payment options to fit my budget. This was a big risk for me, but the staff made me feel comfortable every step of the way and answered all my questions. If you are looking for a friendly, clean, and very timely and prompt dentist, you will love my new dentist just as much as I do. read more

I'm updating my review because a LOT has changed since my first review. The thing that has changed drastically is my SMILE! And it is just in time for Christmas!! My case has been difficult because of the poor work I had done in the past elsewhere, that and my own personal Dental history. But Dr. Chow has made a HUGE difference and I left today, being able to smile without fear in a very long time!!! He and his staff have treated me so well, I feel blessed to have stumbled upon him through someone else's Yelp review when I was searching for a new dentist. Mahalo Yelp, Dr. Chow and staff!! read more

Let me start off and say that I don't normally write reviews, but I feel that everyone should know how great and professional this office is. From the back of the office to the awesome staff at the front. Every time I visit, I am greeted with a smile and most importantly everyone makes me feel like I am at home. I have been seeing Dr. Chow for almost 2 years now , and I must say I am glad that I switched over to him. He is patient, calm, and professional. Each visit, I am clearly informed of the procedures and he makes me feel at ease. I would highly recommened him to anyone and rest assured you'll be in good hands and be well taken care of! read more

Dr. Chow is gentle, thorough, and easily approachable. I would highly recommend him for any serious issues you may have with your dental hygiene to just a basic check up. Thanks, dr.chow, for the upkeep of my pearly whites! (and thanks to Jessica and Tory as well). -Chris fuller read more

Excellent! The people here are so pleasant and professional.Dr Chow is efficient and has all the latest equipment for fast and easy procedures! read more

Best Dentist I have ever been to.. Very caring staff, and Dr. Chow is great. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist. He got a high-tech office, which makes things nice. Thanks Dr. Chow and Staff :-) read more

Saw Dr. Chow again this week and am still as happy as I was the first time I saw him over two years ago. Everyone is so nice at his office and easy to talk with. Also, being able to watch tv during the cleaning is a great distraction and makes the cleaning go by even faster. Thanks, Dr. Chow and staff, for your continued help! See you in 6 months. read more

I love this dentist! Very accommodating, worked with me even though I had no insurance! Staff is very nice and helpful and Dr. Chow is a very good dentist! He takes care and is quick with no pain! That very important to me is the no pain! I would recommend him to any one read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Chow and his staff. They're so welcoming and kind. I called to schedule a cleaning and check up appointment and they got me scheduled the next day! Friendly front staff and fun assistants :) Glad to say I finally found a dentist that I can be comfortable with! I highly recommended Dr. Chow!!!! read more

I've been extremely lucky in my choice of medical and dental providers. In this case Dr Chow who I've been with for several years now has done exceptional work on my dental problems. Dr Chow has excelled at keeping my smile in good shape. I deal with customers on a regular basis and my smile is extremely important too my business. When he works on my teeth he is very interested in my dental history and what I want for the future of my teeth. His work is very professional. His staff is very competent and very friendly. His office has the latest tech instruments which make imaging and such much easier and with better resoulutions then previous dental offices I been to. I'm a younger senior citizen and my dental care outlook whether I like or not is gonna be more of repair work then preventive. I'm very happy I partnered with Dr Chow and the Landmark dental office to help me with my expected future issues. read more

Dr. Chow is a really nice guy and I have had a great experience every time I've gone to either doing a cleaning or to replace a filling. He has the latest and greatest equipment which shows that he really cares about providing professional and top notch dental service. His office is very convenient and great views of the ocean! Also being at Ala Moana is great when you have a to do a little shopping. His staff is very nice and very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Chow as a dentist, so if you're looking for a great dentist or not totally happy with your current dentist, I recommend giving him a call!!!! read more

Dr. Chow and staff are professional, friendly, and thorough. He was able to fit me in the same morning I called and there was minimal waiting time when I checked in. He took time to explain what was going on with my teeth and the procedure he was recommending. He even brought in a colleague for a second opinion before moving forward. I would highly recommend Dr. Chow and the Landmark Dental Group for your dental needs! read more

I went to see Dr. Chow for the first time after reading all these rave Yelp reviews. Boy, was I disappointed! I have not seen a dentist for teeth cleaning for about 2 years but I feel I am in pretty good dental health. I use an electric Sonic Care toothbrush. I made an appointment to clean my teeth and have a regular check up. Everyone was very friendly until my hygienist started cleaning. She was pretty professional and used numbing gel on my gum. But she spent a lot of her time selling me "deep cleaning" for periodontal diseases after she tested my gum. After she was done, I went to the bathroom and was disappointed my teeth didn't look that much cleaner and I didn't feel the sensation when I had my teeth cleaned before (like smoothness when running your tongue over the teeth). When it came to time to see Dr. Chow, he looked at my X-ray and commented I need a filling and crown over a chipped tooth. Then he saw I had some other chipped teeth and asked his assistant to call out a list of things to be done on a bunch of other teeth. He then left and said I need to do the filling and crown first and left. When I asked him why my teeth did not feel that clean he asked me where I had it done last. He said since I did it in Hong Kong the practice and approach was different:-( At any rate, he left and his assistant wanted to schedule the next appointment. When I asked how much this will cost and how much will my insurance pay, she went out to print me a "treatment case" with 15 items, for a cost of $2575 and patient's responsibility of $1812. I asked if I could think about it before the next appointment and she left. After I sat in the chair for 10 minutes, I asked what's next and they said I was free to go. When I left, the receptionist caught me and said I need to pay my portion of the fee, which initially she said was $10 but later changed to $53.15. I did not get an itemized bill though. I just wanted to get out and I am never going back. They may be good dentist and hygienist but I felt they were more interested in maximizing their revenue. I also did not feel they did a good job cleaning. Dr. Chow also did not explain the relative urgency and importance of the 15 items, which are the must do ( first priority) and which are the nice to do ( second priority). read more

Best dentist in Hawaii I've been to. Very clean office with helpful assistants & Dr. Chow is awesome!

Highly recommend Dr Chow and his staff. They are very professional and always on time with your appointments. I love my Invisalign and also got three caps replaced. Great work and very friendly staff. Jessica for my teeth cleaning and Ailyn and Jackie are great asst to Dr Chow. Dr Chow always keeps me informed on everything he does and all procedures has been with no pain or discomfort. It was very hard to find a good dentist relocating back to Hawaii in 2012 after 30+ years away but now I found the best dentist and highly recommend Dr Chow at the Ala Moana Dental Group and his staff. read more

I was scared to go to the dentist after 6 years of off time. Dr chow was very personable and made me feel comfortable. I was impressed by the technology being used, (has it been that long since I had seen a dentist?). My cleaning was fast and almost pain free. Dr chow even called me that evening to answer any questions and welcome me as a patient. Definitely five star service. read more

I have been using this dentist for years. Everything from cleanings to the inevitable root canal. I was really impressed with the root canal. It was not painful at all and I expected it to be much worse. It was far less painful then even routine procedures I have had done at other dentists in years past. The staff explained everything before doing it and the Dentist made sure it was done right. So impressed that even my pregnant wife has recently switched to this dentistry. read more

When you step into Dr. Chow's office you don't really feel like you're going to the dentist. He and his staff are very professional, but it's their friendliness that really makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. It is not easy to find a great dentist but rest assured when you come here you won't have to look anymore. Dr. Chow uses the most modern equipment and its obvious he keeps up with the latest technology. He really takes the time to explain each procedure and answer any questions that you may have. The office also has a great text and email reminder system for upcoming appointments. After coming to Dr. Chow I now feel like my teeth will be well taken care of. The hygienists and assistants make every visit comfortable and enjoyable. Its always a great feeling when you find a place where the people treat you like family! read more
