Located in St. Francis Weinberg Medical Building in Liliha! There is parking available, but I had to Uber back and forth from work. I had an unfortunate accident while changing my clothes after a workout. This happened back in February 2024. My middle earring piercing on my right ear has always been low. It's something that I'd actually been meaning to have fixed one day. Unfortunately, because the piercing sat so low on my earlobe, the threshold for an earring to tear through was small. It finally happened, so I was researching where to get it fixed. I didn't want to go to an ER or urgent care, and I'm not sure they would have been willing to fix it since technically it's a cosmetic procedure. Insurance wise, it's not considered medically necessary to have fixed--especially since it had stopped bleeding fairly quickly. I also didn't want a rushed job. I called around to a few plastic surgeon offices, but they were all booked weeks out or required a consult (not free) before scheduling a separate procedure. I wanted this fixed asap, as I didn't want the tear to heal incorrectly. Thankfully I found Golden Dermatology on yelp, sent an email with a photo of my ear, and they were able to schedule me the next day! Getting a next day appointment with any physician is pretty miraculous. They gave a flat rate of $500 for the earlobe repair, which was a fair price based on my google research. It seems steep, initially, for an hour of work. In hindsight, for the amount of staff that assisted from start to finish, the surgical materials, lidocaine, and overall expertise, it is a fair price. I appreciate that they gave a flat price right off the bat, instead of having to come in for a consult unsure of what the price would be, then having to schedule a separate procedure. Some offices charge $150 just to consult for what is technically a cosmetic procedure (I was told they do normally charge for consult for things like Botox/fillers). I filled out my paperwork beforehand and emailed it back. Wait time was just a few minutes before being seen. I was consented, and they performed the procedure right away. I got lidocaine injections given by who I assume was a nurse? There were quite a few people helping. Dr. Rhoutt performed the procedure, with the assistance of other staff and a medical student. I thought Dr. Rhoutt did really well with my procedure. The only part I could really feel were the lidocaine injections, and even then, it just felt like two light pinches. After the first two shots, my ear went numb, and I never felt anything after. You can feel the pressure, but no pain. They had to cut away dead tissue, cauterize (burn) the skin, then suture it together. I felt like the sutures were very well done. Fast forward to now (accident happened Feb 2024). I waited several months (per their instruction) before I repierced my ear. There is no visible scarring from the sutures. Very glad I came here to get my earlobe repaired! read more

Golden Dermatology - Torn earlobe repair with Dr. Rhoutt! - Dermatologists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

I had to fly to Oahu for Mohs surgery. I was frightened but Dr. Golden and staff couldn't have been nicer and reassuring. They will arrange transportation for you depending on your insurance. They also called the next day to see how I was doing. The steristrips have not fallen off yet but I bet there is not much of a scar. I'd highly recommend this practice for any of your dermatology needs read more

Post-suture-removal review: Went to "Urgent Care," locally. They RAVED about Dr. Routt's suture technique. "You can tell this was done by someone who knew what they were doing!" Wound clear of infection. Golden Staff made a STRONG effort to describe the suturing --- mentioning "4 buried knots." When I mentioned that to the Urgent Care PA, I could see the wheels click. All of a sudden, he saw the path to removing the stitches! Don't be afraid to convey info from the primary. It really helps! read more

I recently had two Mohs basil facial skin cancer surgeries done by the wonderful Dr. Spring Golden and her staff. This challenge could not have gone better. They are truly caring experts. If you need Mohs surgery in Hawaii, Dr. Golden's practice is definitely your solution. read more

HORRIBLE FOLLOW Through!!!! Went to an appointment in November and Dr Routt said he was going to prescribe 1-3 medicines for me and asked what pharmacy to go too. Waited for pharmacy to call and no phone call. I assumed that it is not major so I did not call back for a follow up. My son went in January of this year and also saw Dr Routt at the recommendation of myself and pediatrician about a condition. I did tell my wife that they seem to not note the medications since they told me to get some prescriptions but never did get a call from my pharmacy. Fast forward where he did need prescription medicine which my wife went to the pharmacy to pick it up and it wasn't there. She checked the chart and notes and nothing noted the condition or medicine needed, not certain if this was added after or not. Be Wary of this place and maybe record the conversation so that one has documentation since calling them back they just stated oh no there is nothing in the notes that discussed this condition or medicine. Looking for another place now... read more

Two Mohs surgerys, great experience with both the staff and Dr. Routt. I go in for a skin check every six month or call if anything looks suspicious. I can't think of anything to improve my experience. One of the surgerys took a couple of biopsies and one of the staff ( Marie} was nice enough to make me some coffee. Mahalo to everone there read more

I got referred here by my doctor and got to see Dr Ethan. I had to do the MOH surgery to make sure all my cancer cells were gone from my toe. He didn't rush me out and made sure over and over again that all my cancer cells were gone by sending the samples to the lab. I usually hate the needles but he made sure I was very comfortable during and after the surgery. I wished he was my dermatologist. The staff were friendly and I was very impressed with Dr Ethan. He was very caring and made sure I was very comfortable with my pain level during the surgery. read more

Disappointed. I've visited her in the past and she was terrific. This visit I presented with a small lump and diagnostic ultrasound which showed something fairly simple. But she refused service. She said she didnt go subcutaneous. I still take medication for cancer and I was really worried it would develop into something more complicated. Not sure what the next step is. Her staff is not friendly. Her receptionist acted all offended the minute I walked in. I'm sorry I didnt seem entertaining but going to doctors office isn't fun, patients are sometimes uncomfortable and not happy with possible outcomes. Especially if your patient was working on cancer, having surgeries is a really stressful experience. read more

Great visit! Once parked the office is right on the 3rd floor, easy to locate, spacious clean, called in right on time. Physician's Assistant easy going professional fast; followed right behind by Doctor Eathan Routt. Good personable attitude knowledgeable physician with confidence. Quick in and out. No thermometers blood pressure cuffs weigh ins, just right to it. I mean it's just a surface rash not life or death. Thanks for skipping all the rigamarole easy does it works every time. read more

Very clean and modern boutique like office. They had a coffee/tea station with a Keurig, but out of coffee pods at my visit, but will look forward to that next time. Staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Golden is much younger than I had expected, but very friendly and professional. read more

Dr. Golden took the time to listen and answer all my questions. She does it all, from mohs surgery (cancer) to cosmetic procedures. If you're looking for a new dermatologist, I highly recommend Dr. Golden! She will be my new dermatologist for the rest of my life!! read more

Clean office, office staff professional. Dr golden was able to explain criteria thoroughly. Able to take new patients quickly with the assist from my pcp. read more

Dr Golden is a great dermatologist. My main complaint is that, as with many places in America, at Golden Dermatology money is first, patient care second. I had a check up scheduled for a while and when I arrived I was told I cannot be seen until I've paid a past balance. I explained I did not have the ability to pay anything more than the copay today but can be sent the bill to my new address and pay when I receive it. I was still refused service. This is very upsetting. I work in healthcare myself and access to healthcare is of primary importance to me. Take care of the patient first and work out the money together second. I will have to take my care elsewhere. read more

Dr. Golden has been my dermatologist for the past 6 months. I have visited her with primarily cosmetic concerns, and she is an absolute gem - she is warm and friendly, knowledgeable and patient, while possessing a keen eye for aesthetics; each visit is pleasant as there is ample parking next to her building at St. Francis, her office is clean and spacious, her staff is courteous, and I usually wait at the most, about 20 minutes to see her when I have an appointment scheduled. Thank you, Dr. Golden for a great experience during each visit ! read more

Five stars for everything - I would give more if I could. Dr. Golden explains all, as does a kind, caring & fun staff. Surgery included a skin graft. Follow up is thorough, with clear at-home instructions. I have never had more than a few minutes wait, and best: I am cancer free & my nose looks like it did before! Love Golden Dermatology. read more

It's been exactly a month since I had my mohs surgery with Dr. Spring Golden and I couldn't be happier! It took a while for the scar tissue to even out but now it looks great and I even got a little lip "lift"! So I thank her and her staff, a most professional experience in every way... read more

I went to my dermatologist that l was a patient 30 years ago. His medication that l used for over a month was not working. So l switched to Golden dermatology and the medication worked immediately. In 6 weeks, l went for my follow up and l probably was 90% better. Great job, I'm your lifetime patient now. Gordon read more

Dr. Golden at Golden Dermatology couldn't be more giving, generous and sincere!!!

My previous Dermatologist retired about a year ago, since then I have been on the hunt for someone I was comfortable with and trusted. On the recommendation of a friend I called Dr. Goldens office. What a wonderful surprise!! The office staff was very courteous and professional. I found it easy to talk to them and explain what type of procedure I thought I needed. When I arrived at my appointment the necessary paperwork was completed quickly, and I was able to meet with Dr. Golden within 5 minutes. She took the time to talk to me, get to know me and my concerns. My appointment didn't feel rushed or hurried. Dr. Golden performed my procedure and gave me clear instruction for my home care. I left the office feeling that my hunt for a new Dermatologist was over. I probably wouldn't usually describe a doctors visit as being filled with "Hawaiian hospitality" but, thats how I felt when I left my appointment. Forgot to mention how easy it was to access Dr. Golden office. Saint Francis has lots of parking and signage to direct you to Dr. Goldens office. read more

My wife had a couple of offending moles for years. Because they were growing, she was referred to Dr. Golden's clinic for evaluation. Her staff really impressed me with their very friendly and courteous service. It only took a few minutes to complete the paperwork and then she was taken right into a room. Dr. Golden came right in and informed her that she could safely remove them. She had one on a lower eyelid that was quite bothersome and so she asked when she could get them removed. Dr. Golden was able to remove that one on her eyelid right then and there! Best yet, you can't even tell there was one there at all! A week later, she removed the other larger one and it only took about 20 minutes. Again, the work was exceptional and if you didn't know where it was, you would never know she had one on her forehead! Dr. Golden is the absolute best dermatologist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! With all my heart, Thank you very, very much Dr. Golden for taking such great care of my beautiful wife!!!!! read more
