    I find this important for my mental health and maybe yours. I consulted with Dr Yu regarding my ab…read moremuscles had separated which is called "Diastasis Recti" and an abdominal hernia which was causing distention. My research showed this correction is usually done by a Plastic Surgeon. I saw Dr. Yu and he informed me he had preformed this surgery many times and was confident he would be able to take on my care. Mind you I had insurance and could have seen another surgeon but I had great confidence in Dr. Yu and a great deal of concern knowing this is a cut hip to hip incision, the scaring etc. I opted to pay over 13K for his personal care. I came out of surgery and it was the worst. I could not take 2 steps without assistance for weeks which turned to months. After my dressing was taken off in his office, the terror my soul endured is forever scarring. I was told this happens, not to worry and to put this prescribed cream on it. I thought this cream would heal the area, sadly this was only the beginning. I was not informed I would end up with a hole that literally held 3-4 (4x4 gauzes deep) This is called debridement, Dr Yu had to continue weekly to cut deeper and wider to reach healthy tissue, then stuffed with gauze and cream. Hence, My surgery was in early December with known knowledge I was moving off Island end of February 2023. My move I had to delay until end of March. I had a injury to my shoulder and had experienced really bad medical care (5 surgeries) and was now on a mission to reach UCLA on the mainland for proper medical care to a very damaged shoulder. Another reason I went private with Dr. Yu and signed my rights away in addition to over 13K. I had great fear to say the least and wanted to be sure I had the best of the best. Upon my departure to the mainland I was concerned, upset, frustrated, in pain, sad and my spirit finally broke. Dr Yu had ordered me that cream from his distributor to take with me considering I am now going to have to seek follow up care on the mainland at my expense. I said my good byes and was asked for another 40.00 to pay for the cream after spending hundreds on the purchasing of gauze, tape, and the cream weekly and rides to his office as I could not drive. Upon arrival of the Mainland I was immediately put on a "Wound Vac" I was attached to this 24/7 and weekly appts at the hospital. That gigantic hole took another 6 weeks under constant care and medical technology. In my opinion I should have never been home on my own with a gigantic hole shoving gauze into it. YES, this was over 20K and I am the lucky one whom is paying for it. Second* The incision is horrific and I hate to even see myself in a mirror, I have spent several hundreds on scarring sheets, gels, creams you name it. I am still almost a year in complete sadness and reminders of this horrible event. I finally got the courage to write to Dr. Yu asking for my 13K plus returned to me so I could use it against another 16K to fix this nightmare. I was given my quote by the plastic surgeon on the mainland whom took my case and is willing to fix this mess 16K. I felt this was fair and would be the right thing to do. This 13K has turned into a financial nightmare pushing my total medical costs to more than 30K and if I want to get this corrected I need another 16K. Dr Yu did call me back and we did in fact have a nice conversation and the end result is Dr. Yu would be willing to operate on me again to correct this mess. I would pay for all other costs associated with the medical procedure. I believe it is around 8K I would need to pay. I would need airfare, someone to look after my care, a place to stay and a vehicle and airfare to get back to the mainland. Last, My medical records read "Tummy Tuck" when I received them but hey my hernia and abs got repaired I HOPE! Reality I will forever look this way. I do not have the money for another correction either by Dr. Yu or the surgeon here. Lesson: Do not do a procedure you cannot afford if something goes wrong and you must be able to trust the person whom severely scarred you to make that same incision and try again on you. I hope this helps just one person make the right decision and thru me realize what can happen and there is no refund. ******I tried to post photos but yelp won't allow - TO GRAPHIC ****

The office has plenty of parking and my impression of the office is that they take pride in this beautiful space. Dr Yu was very knowledgeable and is so patient he took the time to answer all my questions. The staff is wonderful and I felt completely at ease as it was a lighthearted "judgement free zone" during my decision making process. Dr Yu and his staff has an attention to detail and his experience over the years made my experience so easy and stress free. Dr Yu really took his perfectionism seriously when he provided excellent results. I couldnt be happier that I decided to go with him.

They bring top-notch expertise and exceptional customer service to an island where options in this field are limited. Dr. Tom's bedside manner is outstanding--he's kind, patient, and takes the time to really listen. I never once felt rushed or pressured into anything. In fact, what stood out most was how honest and grounded he is. He offers thoughtful, realistic guidance and never tries to "sell" you on procedures you don't need. It's rare to find a plastic surgeon who balances skill with such a sincere, patient-first approach. I left every appointment feeling informed, comfortable, and confident in my decisions. I wouldn't trust anyone else--highly, highly recommend Dr. Tom!

Dr. Tom performed a very complex and lengthy procedure on me. I am 4 weeks post operative and I couldn't be more pleased with my results. From my first consultation to follow up care after surgery, Dr. Tom was personable, engaged, interested and explained how to proceed to achieve the best possible results. He has a sense of humor and made this experience fun and relaxing. Dr. Tom and his staff were always available to answer any questions and/or concerns throughout this entire process. Dr. Tom actually called me several times to speak to me directly versus having his staff be the liaison. When was the last time a doctor actually called you!! The weeks leading up to my surgery, when I got nervous, needed further explanation/reassurance or answers to probably the same questions I had already asked him, he was right on board and took the time to walk me through everything. I personally know two women who have had the same experience with Dr. Tom and his staff. He is an asset to our community with his knowledge, personality and precision skills. Mahalo nui loa Dr. Tom and staff. You guys rock!!!

His staff were easy to work with, very friendly in person, and super organised when it came to billing which is always a plus. Parking is easy and he is a few floors up in a bit of an outdated looking building but his office is clean and professional so don't let the dated building exterior put you off. I was surprised that my appointment would be on a weekend but Dr Herbich only visits Maui on certain days so it is probably more convenient for most of his patients. I have had botox injections for the past few years in my mandibular jaw muscle to stop TMJ and to stop me clenching my teeth as I'm cracking my back molars with the force. Botox has been a fantastic solution to this problem. Dr Herbich was very aware of this procedure, knew exactly where to inject the botox and he was very quick in administering it so it was pain free. I'm very happy with this Dr and his office and I will continue to see him for future TMJ treatment as the whole process was so easy.

I currently fly to Oahu for MOHS and reconstruction and it would be nice to stay on Maui for reconstruction and check ups instead. Dr Ivey emailed back and he was super nice, understood the procedure I needed after MOHS, and was friendly, however he has just stopped accepting HMSA. Pity as I was excited after seeing photos of his before and after work. If I have any need for cosmetic surgery instead of reconstructive I will definitely contact Dr Ivey, he is fast to communicate and knowledgeable.
