Most of the reviews here are dated/older. I went to see Dr Nagata 8/11/17 because he's holistic and…read moreI read good reviews from Yelp. I spoke at length with Colleen, a treatment coordinator. Dr Nagata poked his head in, looked at the screen (X-ray) and quickly stated I would need a root canal or extraction. It all took him less than a minute. I went back into the room to speak with Colleen. I expressed that I'd like for the doctor to try to save the tooth. I specifically asked if I would be seeing Nagata and Colleen assured me I would. I made an appointment in a slot she could fit me into. Fast forward to the day of the appointment. The appointment wasn't the next day, it was a week out so I suffered a bit while I waited but I was happy that I had a doctor that removes amalgam safely. I was surprised at how congested the waiting room was and 3 others had an 11 o'clock appointment as well. I was called back 20 mins after the hour. This is when I was told I'd be seeing Dr Sato. Who is Dr Sato?? I slowly took the bib off and simply said "No. I don't know Dr Sato and I scheduled to see Dr Nagata." There was no scene or anything, I quietly got out the chair and walked back to the front. No need for dramatics. Colleen spoke to me sweetly and calmly and she was extremely polite. However, I don't buy the act for one second. I'm sure they pull this bait and switch all the time and it's unprofessional. Dr Nagata spent absolutely no time with me and Colleen lied to me, so of course I will not be returning. There are other holistic dentists on this island. I suggest you google using different combinations to pull them up. Also, another thing I did not care for is when I asked for quotes I was not given any. I should have taken that as my first red flag.

As nervous as I was Dr. Dang and his staff really put me at ease. And to my surprise, he was able to numb me up instantly!! As he started drilling, I sat there waiting for some type of pain, but nothing throughout the entire procedure, I was completely numb. Extremely impressed!! All procedures are explained ahead of time, and even on video for some. Dr. Dang is very professional, friendly and really cares, he takes time to understand how you feel before starting the procedure. If you're looking for a great dentist - look no more! I highly recommend him.

Then I was blessed to experience Dr. Ho's special technique, in which he uses a special angle or ideal pressure or magic to deliver the injection so that it almost feels pleasant. That coupled with the time Dr. Ho's Office Manager, Char, pointed out how timing certain dental procedures to coincide with insurance coverage renewal would save me over a thousand dollars, made me feel so lucky to have been accepted as a patient. And when considering the unbelievable courtesy and warm professionalism of the rest of his staff, I'm sorry for being reluctant to write an honest review until now. Just being selfish.

The office staff are very confused and do not seem to understand or know how to operate electronic technology.

Wouln't want to risk getting any services here. The "office manager" was really rude as well.

Avoid at all costs! And I mean all costs. I am not a new patient to Dr. Hirose. I followed her from…read moreKometani to her new practice which went fairly well when I had dental insurance. I had to resign from my job and consequentially lost my insurance. This caused a noticeable sea change in her approach to me as a patient. The Ransom Note: The first time I ever was presented with the bill before any treatment was done while lying in the dentist chair. If I coundn't pay that day, I was promptly directed out of the chair, and the treatment I desperately needed apparently cancelled. No payment plan offered, no next steps mentioned, just get out of here, more or less. I couldn't pay the ransom on numerous occassions. As a public school teacher, a $400 bill in a single setting means I don't eat. So unable to pay the ransom, my teeth died, one by one, to date I've lost 5 teeth under her 'care'. The last two teeth extracted I had to do myself after she sent me home for the weekend with a mouth of festering infection. I had called that Friday to see if see could see me because of my extreme level of discomfort. Her assistant told me to come down immediately, so I did, thinking I could get some relief. So I got in the ransom chair again, but instead of getting any help, I was charged $80 for a two minute 'examination' and told to come back Monday. I did, and the office was closed. I was in extreme pain so ended up pulling the two teeth out myself. My mouth is in the worst condition ever and it is obvious that this doctor has no compassion for her patient's suffering but is only concerned as long as you are a cash cow with insurance. Other notable observations: Not a single iota of advice for your own dental care at home. Never a offer of an RX tooth paste 1st dental office ever been to that dosen't send you home with a new toothbrush... It's hurts to write this, because I considered her a friend-(

He's not about squeezing in every human body into a can of sardines, instead he will screen you first, see what you need, and if he connects with your chi... If you're lucky enough to be a patient of Dr. Ueda you'll find a man who speaks softly, but has lived three lifetimes. I find it refreshing to have a dentist that shares my stories of travels around the world and life itself. If you knew about Dr. Ueda's journey and how he's here you'd probably admire him three-fold. He's a survivor, like I am, but it's best to live and not dwell. 10-stars for talk on Lady Sumo to Om living. I'm currently in America to take care of all my medical and dental needs and why not polish my grill before I fly back to Japan on my continued travels. Dr. Ueda is located in the Public Radio building (2nd floor) just across of Don Quijote on Kaheka in Honolulu. Parking is free in his private stalls "Dr. Ueda Parking" just up the ramp. Entering the building you'll probably notice a vending machine and a hallway that reminds one of Intermediate school bungalows. Narrow and eerie lol. Just follow the signs to his office and before entering you'll see an original Yoshitoshi Mori (森 義利) framed woodblock print. As a historian and art major I noticed the bold artwork. Upon entering you'll probably be greeted by Dr. Ueda himself. As of this writing he has no receptionist or employees. Dr. Ueda does it all. Rest assured if you have insurance he'll explain everything before you sign off. And if you're curious Dr. speaks English and fluent in Japanese and French! I came in for X-rays, general cleaning, and polishing! Long overdue as my last "teeth maintenance" was at UCSF in San Francisco early in 2022. The good news is that my grill is structurally sound... so yes, I can mogu mogu and enjoy all the good foods that life has to offer - just avoid too much sugar and brush or rinse after all meals! It's nice to be reminded by a respected dentist how it's important to flush out what goes in! As I shake my head in agreement like Eric the kid! :D It's rare to find a dentist that will explain everything he's doing and not be in such a rush with "next!" You get that Dr. Ueda truly cares about your well being. I truly enjoyed chatting, or as locals say "talking story", with a man of the world. We even watched an episode of Lady Sumo on NHK-TV and discussed it lol. You just don't have dental encounters like this anymore... a positive experience that left me smiling 'til next time!
