Dr. Gill was extremely sweet, very helpful, and 100% transparent about her consultation advice and recommended treatments. She was able to clear my skin issue immediately and prescribed me with a regimen to clear my acne which has worked wonderfully! As for payment, the consult is $150 no matter what. However, Dr. Gill and her husband, Shad (who's the receptionist), assist you in creating a form to send to your insurance for reimbursement, and it was a breeze for me. Got my reimbursement check within a week! I've been to 4 dermatologists in my life and Dr. Gill is definitely #1 for me! Highly recommend!

The injections were quick and comfortable, and I felt at ease throughout the entire appointment. Before I saw Dr. Yew I suffered with severe jaw pain, migraines, light sensitivity, and ringing in my ears. Within a short time of receiving botox, I noticed a significant reduction in my jaw pain and most importantly it made all my tension headaches go away. The light sensitivity and ringing in my ears also went away. As a busy working mom I was so thankful to have had so much relief and improvement in my quality of life. I have seen Dr. Yew several times over the past year and I highly recommend him to all my patients, friends, and family!

Nurse Jen also did an amazing job at assisting Dr Yew as well. I was honestly nervous getting lip filler for the first time but Dr Yew and Nurse Jen made the whole process so comfortable for me. I really love how Dr Yew starts off with the sound bowl before the injection process as it really helped me calm down a bit. The whole process was smooth and I left feeling very satisfied! I can't wait to come back again for any future services!

From tirzepatide to PRP, Morpheus8, the Salt Facial, and lip and midface filler - every treatment has delivered beautiful, natural-looking results that I am genuinely proud of. What sets Dr. Foo and her team apart is how they treat every patient like family. I never feel like just another appointment on the schedule. They take time to listen, explain every step, and tailor each treatment to what works best for me personally. The monthly membership program has made staying consistent with my care so much more accessible, and the deals they offer show that Dr. Foo truly invests in long-term relationships with her patients - not just one-time visits. If you want a practice that combines clinical excellence with genuine warmth, Aloha Aesthetics MD is the place. I walk out of every appointment feeling seen, cared for, and absolutely glowing. I cannot recommend Dr. Foo and the team enough.

"We didn't know you had melanoma."…read more That was the response I received from my dermatologist of more than a year at Hawaii Premier Dermatology when I arrived for an appointment today. I was initially scheduled to see a PA, but the doctor became involved after it became apparent that my medical history here did not reflect my history of melanoma . Mind you, this was my third visit to this office since last year. I had previously been instructed to return every six months because of my history of melanoma on my face. But what bothered me most was not simply the documentation error, but the way it was initially handled. Rather than acknowledging the possibility of an error in my medical record, the doctor initially suggested that the office was unaware of my melanoma history. I had to spend several minutes explaining and demonstrating that I had, in fact, previously been treated for melanoma, including pointing out the scar ( about an inch long) on my face from the surgical removal. The physician eventually acknowledged that my records may have been mixed up with my family history and that my personal history of skin cancer may have been inadvertently "deleted." He apologized for the mistake, which I appreciated. However, shifting the apparent responsibility toward the patient before reviewing the medical record was extremely disappointing and, in my opinion, unacceptable. When the condition in question is melanoma and I had specifically been instructed to return for regular skin checks, all I could hear from the doctor was excuses. After this, I informed the doctor and his assistant that I was done with their clinic. I did ultimately undergo a body skin examination and discussed appropriate and safe cosmetic procedures for my face given my medical history. The assistant who was present appeared visibly uncomfortable with how the interaction unfolded, and I was uncomfortable as well. I have had both great and disappointing experiences with doctors/dermatologists over the years. Unfortunately, this experience ranks among the worst. Medical records matter, particularly when dealing with a history of melanoma. Patients should be able to trust that their medical history is accurately documented and that mistakes are handled with accountability rather than initially being placed on the patient. My advice to anyone considering this practice: go somewhere else for your dermatological care. Maybe if the office took on fewer patients, there would be more time to properly review medical histories, maintain accurate records, and (most importantly) take responsibility when mistakes occur instead of shifting the blame to the patient.

An Exceptional Experience with Dr. Shim Ching's Staff -- Thank You, Keri and Robin!…read more Dr. Shim Ching's staff is incredibly professional, compassionate, and understanding. When my mom and I visited the office on behalf of my sister, who needed to cancel her surgery due to health reasons and other unexpected obligations that prevented her from physically coming into the office, Keri and Robin went above and beyond to help us. Honestly, I was nervous going into the office. My sister's surgery was approximately $40,000, and when she initially requested a refund, she was told she would need to wait six months. We arrived not knowing what to expect or whether we would be able to get any answers or assistance. We asked the front desk if we could speak with Keri or Robin and waited about 20 minutes. When they came out, Keri greeted us with a warm smile and such a welcoming attitude. She was kind, approachable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Robin was equally reassuring and professional. Together, they took the time to listen to our concerns, explain the refund process clearly, and walk us through exactly how they could help. What impressed me most was how respectfully and compassionately they treated us throughout the entire interaction. They even printed out a patient ledger for my sister, who was on the phone with us the entire time and had specifically requested it. They made sure her needs were addressed, even though she could not be there in person. I understand that a refund of this size is not a small matter for any business, and I certainly don't take their assistance for granted. This was not just about the money; it was about being treated with kindness, patience, and understanding during a difficult and unexpected situation. Thank you so much, Keri and Robin, for making what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable. Your professionalism, warmth, and willingness to help made a lasting impression on both my mom and me. You were truly a light to work with, and we are incredibly grateful for the way you handled everything. Dr. Shim Ching is fortunate to have team members like you. Thank you for reminding us how much of a difference genuine kindness and excellent customer service can make!
