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

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!

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!

I've heard of…read moresuch horrible experiences of root canals that when I found out that I needed one I dreaded it so much. But I was in excruciating pain & my cheek was throbbing. My dentist said it would only get worse, so he referred me to Endo Specialists. I called and they were able to bring me in right a away, that day. I called around 9am and was able to get an emergency appointment at 12. My specialist was Dr. Patrick Munley. He made me feel at ease and attempted to calm my worries. He explained the whole procedure to me before hand. Even with the numbing injection, which is the supposedly the sorest/hardest part of the procedure, I didn't feel a thing, because of the way he did it. He put pressure with his hand in the area of where the needle went so you felt pressure more than the needle itself. The root canal itself took about an hour, but I didn't feel feel a thing. He allows you to stop if you need to, and tells u what they are doing and keeps you in the loop of how much time you have left. I was so shocked and relieved how easy the whole procedure was. All these horror stories of root canals, and my experience was a breeze! He offered his business card and written cell phone number in case I had any questions during non office hours. He called me the next day as well, as a courtesy follow up, to ask how I was doing and if I had any other questions - I don't know how much Dr's now days take the time to call their patients. If you are in dire need of an important/emergency dental procedure, I would highly recommend their office!

Despite the anxiety, I called Oral Surgery Hawai'i and took their first available appointment. I got stuck in a bit of traffic and got lost looking for their office and despite it all, the staff was super nice and helpful when I called. I'm a terrible dental patient, with extreme anxiety and definitely not someone that any dental professional looks forward to seeing in their office. I explained to the dental assistant my fears and she was super supportive and validated me sharing that even she was a nervous patient. Dr. Kitamura came in and introduced himself, explained the procedure and asked if I had any questions. I told him that I'm a terrible patient, explained how to best work on me without me running from the office (iPods in, sunglasses on with eyes closed and no play by play). Dr. Kitamura did exactly what I asked, only instructing me when to breathe and take deep breaths. The dental assistant was absolutely amazing and provided comfort and assurance throughout the procedure. The extraction took what felt like less than 10 minutes and i walked out in zero pain and feeling a sense of total relief. I'll be going back in a few months to start the process of getting an implant, and although I'll continue to be a terrified patient, I know I'll receive nothing but superior gentle care. Given that I haven't taken to Yelp in forever to share a review, that should speak volumes of my experience here today. If you're terrified of oral surgery, this office may just be the place for you.
