We had a very positive first experience with Dr. Emily Bordner and her office. We recently moved to Manoa from the windward side and needed a new dentist over here for our son. She seems very knowledgable and I learned important things about my son's teeth that were never explained before. My son felt comfortable in her dentist chair as well, which is a definite plus. He is happy to go back. Thank you Dr. Bordner. read more

My kids have been seeing Dr Emily for a few years. She and her staff are the best! Everyone is so nice and caring. They are all great with kids....my girls "LOVE" going to the dentist! If you're looking for a pediatric dentist, look no further. read more

Had a wonderful first experience for my 10 month old baby's first dentist appointment. The staff was very welcoming and made both me and my child feel safe. The hygienist are calming and knowledgeable. Dr.Bordner was patient, kind, and very informative. She made my child's first dental experience a great one! The quality of care is top notch along with the incredible staff, I definitely recommend this gem of an office. read more

So disappointed. We have been going to this dental office for years, but after the last negative experience it is finally time for me to write this review. There are so many excellent pediatric dentists on the island, that parents need to know that there are better choices out there. We have had several experiences where we arrive and are told the appointment has either been moved, canceled, or that we are over a half an hour late, when that is simply not true. Other times, we are told that there will be a follow-up phone call with information about the visit, and that phone call has never happened. We have been rescheduled with Dentist, billed incorrectly, and had numerous challenges working with the staff. On two occasions, they admitted they were in the wrong for mis handling information, but did not attempt to make it right. As a parent and an educator, I expect more from businesses catering to children and families. read more

Great dentist for my 2 kids! Great at calming your kids nerves and treat you as family.

We have been with this dentist for years. When we were finally able to get our grandson in we were glad. Brought him and our daughter for cleanings. Office staff told us they wouldn't see our grandson because we didn't have custody/guardianship. Although disappointed we understood. We left . Called back to make a new appointment for our daughter and that said because of the way we left the assumed we weren't coming back, deactivated our daughters account and told me we would need to find a new dentist. Wow. So totally unprofessional. I am shocked it should be zero stars. I'd absolutely recommend finding someone else!!! read more

Please approach this office with caution I do not wish the same experience upon any parent. My daughter first saw Dr Hsu during Covid and she is a wonderful very kind and caring person. She is no longer there, but I kept my daughter's appointment anyway. We then saw Dr Bordner who was equally wonderful. The hygienist is very lovely too. Most recently my daughter as well as my 1 yo were scheduled to see the newest dentist Dr Park, but never got that far before being accosted by an office employee who very rudely told me I was not to leave the exam room and that I needed to go outside or stay in the room without any tact or concern for the fussy squirmy baby in my arms or my 6 year old daughter. I chose to comply with her demands, but told her that her tone and was unnecessary and very unwelcome. She immediately became combative and stated she was the "office manager " and that if I had a problem I should go else where. Then she proceeded to tell me before i even responded that she could get paperwork for me to have my child's files transferred. Such a strangely hostile interaction all the while holding my sweet and adorable fussy baby! I will be happy to find a new dentist office that operates with kindness and consideration for patients and their parents. read more

Complete waste of time. Staff is caddy and rude. We arrived just under 15 minutes late. Was told to bad. They know we drive from north shore. The office clerk took great pride and joy in denying us our appointment. Also the paranoid staff has no seating or waiting room because they dismantled it. Apparently they are frightened of covid and germs so no place to wait for your child while they get cleaned. There are plenty of alternatives to this nightmare. Also want to note that they said if their next appointment is late than we can have it. So we waited. It was almost time gor us to take it but than the caddy front dest clerk decided to give the other late customer a courtesy call. We never got a courtesy call! I never pull the race card but feel like if i was asian i would have got the courtesy call. This place is for you if you drive alone in your car with a mask on and like bad customer service. read more

Dr Emily always takes very good care of the kids teeth. Little to no wait with appointment and no hassles. Easy as 123. There are tv's above the operating chairs to keep the kids busy. read more

So glad to have found Dr. Bordner upon recommendation from a friend. My kids have been going to her for about 3 years now and in the beginning my kids were both screamers. Dr. Bordner and her staff were extremely patient, kind and compassionate toward both of them and even let them sit in a chair together for support! Dr. Bordner is very thorough but fast, and allows me to ask whatever question I may have, no matter how silly or small it may be. She gives great tips on how to floss the little ones' teeth and at one time helped me feel better when I had a near major disaster with a fluoride mistake I was doing for about a year with my daughter in giving her the wrong dose! Dr. Bordner put my mind at ease and did not judge me or make me feel bad about my mistake. She even calls herself "aunty" to my kids which make them feel much more comfortable...she is humble and very down to earth. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with kids who are skiddish about doctors and dentists - her whole staff are great with kids and her office is really clean and fun. read more

We went to Dr. Bordner after a recommendation from a colleague. Not only is she professional, but she was able to see both my sons, a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old. She checked their teeth, cleaned their teeth, and gave us some great tips about good pediatric dental health. Her staff is outstanding. The offices are welcoming and my son can't wait to go back. Imagine that... a kid that wants to go to the dentist... sounds like Dr. Bordner did an excellent job. We have been recommending her to all of our friends. read more

We have been visiting Dr Bordner's practice for the past three years and appreciate the patience and professionalism of her and her team. Our daughter had a check up today, and we were so happy that it was fun and exciting. Alyssa did an outstanding job making our daughter feel comfortable with the cleaning and X-rays, and Dr Bordner capped off the visit with a thumbs up. Thank you to everyone on the team for making visits to the dentist's office something to look forward. read more

Highly professional and compassionate group doing one of the most important and difficult jobs on earth!.

They only take new patients once a year in September, so basically a waste of time if you want your kid to be seen anytime soon.

Dr. Bordner and staff are top notch!!! Their knowledge and personal touch makes my boys want to go to the dentist every time we go to Manoa market place. My boys have had routine and emergency dental work completed at the office quickly and painlessly. I suggest Dr. Bordner for every child! read more

My son has been seeing Dr. Emily for about 3 years. She has a very nice, clean office in Manoa Marketplace. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dr. Emily is very approachable and the kids love her. She has a tv set with cartoons right above the chair so kids are happily distracted while getting a cleaning...or worse! Lots of free parking. She even gave us an egg timer so my son can time his teeth brushing. read more

Dr Bordner is amazing and has been treating my kids for almost 5 years now. She added a new partner, Dr JW. He has seen my kids the last few times we needed something done I.e. Lost spacer, lost filling and cleanings. He is also amazing with the kids. I fully trust both of them to make the best choices for my children's teeth. read more

Dr. Bordner treats my children with a sincere compassion and I trust her completely. If you want to sit in the room during your child's appointment it's fine with them. She is in high demand and for that reason you must book appointments well ahead of time. For emergencies they have always been available which is great. I believe she is the best in her field. read more

My kids had a great "dentist" visit! Pu'uwai went for the first time ~ she was at ease and happy little camper. Po'okela is excited to go back for his next visit! Wow!!! read more

Her office is clean and very kid friendly. The rooms are themed and each have a TV for the kids to watch while they get their teeth cleaned. Emily is really patient and her tone of voice is very welcoming. She's a keeper! read more

we LOVE Dr. Bordner and her staff. My kids have been patients of hers for a few years. She certainly has a way with kids :o}

Used to love this practice until a partner was added. They're both great dentists, but there's not that individualized attention and personal relationship anymore. Also, the cost seems to have greatly increased. Glad my kids are older and we can move on to a regular dentist. read more

I have three boys (ages 4, 9 and 11) and they enjoy going to Dr. Bordner's office! We've had a couple of dental "emergencies" as well as many regular dental visits and Dr. Bordner and her staff are fabulous. The location is great. Parking is always available. The office is clean, calm and peaceful. We have never had to wait for an appointment. I recommend Dr. Bordner to all of my friends and family. read more

super friendly! just my first visit, but the staff is really nice, professional, and showed my 2.5 year old extra patience & kindness while he was crying bloody murder.... read more

All my children look forward to going to the dentist. Very child friendly, and professional staff. The Dental Assistants are great, and also child and parent friendly. I appreciate Dr. Bordner, because I feel her heart is in the right place, and she is trustworthy. My son had an accident where half of his tooth was chipped off. I considered going to the ER because I was panicking, but I called Dr. Bordner on her emergency phone first. It was Sunday, but she called back immediately. She did an assessment of the situation, and took time to explain, and reassure me, then made an appointment for a few days later when the nerve of his tooth would quell some. To make a longer story shorter, they were able to reconstruct the tooth, and you would never know anything happened in the first place. Five star facility and people all the way. read more

My 10 year old is THRILLED when she has a dentist appointment! Very different than "back in the day" when we all dreaded the dentist! Hooray for Dr Bordner! read more
