    *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.

I'd give him 5 stars for service and the staff here are super nice. He is SO good with kids... She has been going here since she turned one and he was amazing with her. She only cried on her first visit, which she says is normal. They truly excel at treating little kids. I like that they offer the kids toys and have screens for them to watch something while they're in the dentist chair. Now, unfortunately, I cannot give them five stars because they always have a ridiculous wait. Every appointment we have had here so far we've had to wait 45 minutes to an hour which I feel is way too long. It seems like they overbook. Five stars for the doctor and dental assistants, but one star because of the wait.

I finally got in and it was the fastest dental appointment I've ever received by a doctor that felt like he didn't have a moment to spare and barely checked anything out. He said I needed extensive and expensive work when the Kapolei location had a different opinion. Made an appointment and again had to wait another month for that. Decided to try to go to the Kapolei location but they did not have an appointment available for over 3 months. This after I had made an app with them before and it was canceled due to doctor being unable to come in. Both locations have me super frustrated and disappointed and in pain having to wait months to get cavity fixed. Would not waste time with unfriendly staff and lack of availability. Should have looked elsewhere after second appointment issue.

    My dentist appointment was way overdue and I'm so glad that I was able to find Dr. Palola on Yelp…read moreand that they were accepting new patients. I had called other places, left messages, and not heard back. Which made me put off seeing the dentist even more. But the customer service here is top tier. Everyone is so friendly and professional. Dr. Palola's office in Waipio is located on the second floor, near the Waipio Costco next to the Starbucks. The office is clean and actually kinda stylish. I like the archways in the office and I was given a brief tour when I came in, which I liked because knowing my surroundings helps put me at ease. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, they had a comfort menu with everything from blankets to a t.v. screen with Netflix. I only wish that I didn't procrastinate and made an appointment to see Dr. Palola sooner.

Dr Palola spent so much time with me to hear me out and to explain everything. Ten stars!

    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
