    *I've deleted my previous 4 star review, as I feel Dr. Lum's office did everything to rectify the billing situation that occurred.* Location: Very easy to find and tons of private parking. Located directly off of the Mililani Mauka exit. Across the intersection from McDonald's and between the big Rec Center and Wayland Baptist University. This office is very clean and spacious. A definite upgrade from the last dentist I went to (great guy, but the office was a little bit more "old school" for sure). Loved the decor and aquarium. Each patient chair was separated by dividers and gave a sense of privacy. My hygienist did a very thorough job. I'm used to getting my teeth cleaned and not getting specific explanations of what they see or how my teeth are doing. Here I got very specific explanations of the condition of my teeth and gums, and specifically which teeth and areas to "watch out" for. Very good patient education... Co-pay for a cleaning was very reasonable with my HDS insurance ($50 something). My brother's co-pay was only $11 for a cleaning covered by HMSA. Overall, I felt it was a very good value. New patients will have to come in a half hour prior to their appointment to fill out the paper work. Also, they do seem to have a very well thought-out and strict appointment cancellation policy--so be sure to be aware of this and cancel with enough advance notice to avoid hefty fees. Overall, I was very impressed with this dentist office and would definitely come back. I got a free tooth brush, tooth paste, and floss sample. I like free stuff.

    Nice, clean, and relaxing.

He was very…read morepatient, explaining what a root canal entailed, answering all my questions and proceeded to do an excellent work in my infected tooth. Dr. Shaikh was very thorough in his work, I experienced no pain durand after the procedure, I didn't even have to take any pain medication. I flew out that evening with no complications, took my antibiotics as directed and no pain or discomfort throughout my 2.5 week trip. I'm so grateful for Dr. Shaikh great service and care. He even checked in on me while I was on my trip making sure I was ok. Thank you so very much Dr. Shaikh! You're the best !!

    After getting a root canal on a tooth that had suffered from a traumatic fall and landed on my…read moremouth, I found myself still experiencing extreme sensitivity on that tooth a couple of weeks later after the root canal. I reached out to my dentist and as advised, made a follow up appointment with the endodontist. It was before the New Year's and understand the challenges of scheduling appointments during the holidays but was able to secure an appointment with Dr. Howard Kang at their Aiea office within the first week of January. Located of the 1F of Westridge Shopping Center in Aiea, this is one of the four Hawaii Endodontics LLC (HE) offices. The other 3 are located in Kailua, Kapolei and in Honolulu (Hale Pawaa). I arrived just before my scheduled appointment where the female receptionist checked me in. She was friendly and made me feel at ease which was much appreciated when I've been concerned about my tooth with uncertainty. I didn't sit down more than 5 minutes before the dental assistant called my name and escorted me to an examination room. This assistant is a seasoned staff where not only professionally, she engaged conversation personally and made me feel comfortable. She commented on my Trader Joe's mini tote bag and how she was gifted one but ended up giving it away to her relative who really adored them. Shortly after, Dr. Howard Kang came into the room to assess my condition. He commented on how my lip healed nicely and proceeded to conduct several tests to determine my teeth condition. To our delight my teeth responded well by not experiencing any pain. I advised Dr. Kang that it's just a little sensitive which is natural after the trauma I experienced. I'm to allow more time for the tooth to settle and heal. My next follow up appointment is in 6 months with Dr. Kang. For the time being I'm advised to avoid using that tooth to chew and to allow more time to settle and heal. In closing, I'm very pleased with HE for such great professionals and staff who take care of me. They have been educational yet sincere and supportive in my recovery process. 2026 #5

    Oh goodness... the dentist anxiety is real!! The last time I had a dentist appointment (different…read moredental office), it was NOT a good experience and I never wanted to go back to another dentist again. But I chipped my tooth. And it kept chipping. So I had to call someone... just not the last one I saw. I also don't have dental insurance, so I was researching which dental offices near me offered in house dental plans. There was a bunch, but I decided to go here since most of the reviews were positive and encouraging! I saw Dr. Kim and he's very chill and friendly! Nina was the assistant and omg I loved her!!! I was expecting to get my tooth pulled or something, but Dr. Kim said I needed a crown which made me happy to hear I didn't have to pull the tooth. I let them know I had bad dentist anxieties and they wanted to hear what happened during my last dental treatment. I even asked Nina if she could hold my hand during the numbing and she really made me feel safe during the entire time! I signed up for their in house dental plan. It's $199 + tax for a year. OH AND THEY HAVE NETFLIX!!!! Yes! There's a tv on the ceiling haha and you can choose a show or movie to watch while they work on your teeth. Honestly, that helped distract me a lot! I'm truly grateful for the both of them for making sure I was comfortable during my appointment!

    Just moving from the mainland, I was very picky on a dentist... but they made me feel very at ease…read more The work is awesome..... please visit this Office.... JanetQ
