Mele and Dr. Siddiqui…read more Great location between 24 hr Fitness and Foodland where you get your grill looked at, so some shopping and grab your groceries and head home for dinner. Fully staffed with upbeat and competent front desk workers. I've been here twice this far and it has always been clean and tidy. Mele and Dr Siddiqui have been compassionate and professional. Definitely recommend this location.

BEWARE! They will scam you!…read more First time seen, the dentist acts all horrified and states I need a root canal and states my son he has a cavity. Got a 2nd opinion and it turns out I don't need a root canal at all! It is horrible that a dentist would make you go through the anguish and worry that I did just to fill his pocketbook. Go with your gut especially when they tell you that you need all this work done upon the first visit. Additionally, while waiting, I was already suspicious when I overhead the front desk telling another patient all the work that needed to be done on their teeth. . My husband was also charged for fluoride when he specifically stated he did not want fluoride. When confronted later per FSA card and why it was not clearly stated on the form, they say it is a treatment plan and included. This is a scam. Dental offices always ask you if you want it or not, they don't just go ahead and charge you upfront when you clearly state you don't want it! Then they email with a confusing email that made no sense for why they charged it. I have to question if my son even had a cavity at all now, and they just wanted to do a procedure that was not needed for money. Beware they will do unnecessary procedures and do a whole act of how horrible your teeth are to scare you into procedures and/or bill you for services not rendered or denied. You have been warned!

The BEST dentist and staff ever!! I was a dental hygienist for 12 years, from Hawai'i, Native…read moreHawaiian. Moved to the West side l, all my 'Ohana is there and yelped a dentist. His name came up and made an appt. I needed a crown redone and I have NEVER EVER had a shot that was painless!! Did you hear me? Painless!! My Mother had so much fear going to the dentist and if any of your 'Ohana have fear of pain, take them to Dr. Okano!! He's legit the best in the world of dentistry. And his staff! OMG! The sweetest, caring people!! Go, go, go get 'um!!

1-Star Review - After spending over $25k with him, Dr. Okano still refused to help save my tooth…read moreI have been a patient of Dr. Michael M. Okano in Kapolei for years. He has already done four dental implants for me that cost well over $25,000. I trusted him with major, expensive work and expected the same level of care and respect when I returned with another tooth issue. Instead, Dr. Okano examined the tooth and immediately pushed for extraction with zero explanation of why saving it wasn't possible. When I clearly told him I did not want the tooth pulled and wanted to explore a root canal to preserve it, he refused to discuss any alternatives. I politely asked for a referral to an endodontist for a second opinion -- a completely reasonable request before an irreversible procedure. He flat-out refused. No reasons were given. No discussion of risks, benefits, or options. He simply placed a temporary filling and left me hanging, all because I dared to ask for a specialist consultation and a second opinion. After investing tens of thousands of dollars with this practice, I was shocked and disappointed by how little regard he showed for my wishes or my right to informed consent. This is not the patient-centered care I expected from someone who markets himself as providing comprehensive, state-of-the-art dentistry. If you're facing a potential root canal versus extraction, think twice before seeing Dr. Okano. He seems far more interested in pulling teeth than in working with patients who want every reasonable chance to save them. I will not be returning and strongly advise others to look elsewhere if they value autonomy and tooth preservation. Extremely disappointed.

For the most part, I did not have any problem with this place. The receptionist, dental hygienest,…read moreassistant were nice everytime. The Dr. was nice to me as well. However, I could feel the tention between the Dr. and assistant and made me sort of uncomfortable so I stopped going. Yes the assistant was little slow, I could see and it is understandable Dr. gets frustrated with her but she should not show that in front of her patients. Another thing I did not like was she used a rubber cloth to fix my cavity so I would not swallow anything from the treatment. I had a numerous cavity fix (not proud of them) and never had that before. It was very uncomfortable and unnecessary I thought. I think it is meant for kids, not for adults. On the otherhand, I did not have any problem over insurance payments, making appointments and wait time.

***I am currently filing a complaint against Dr. Alcantra with the DCCA (Department of Commerce and…read moreConsumer Affairs) for doing unauthorized work and now trying to make us pay for it.*** I've finally gathered enough info to make a proper assessment of this business. Dr. Alcantra should get ZERO stars, among other things. My first visit with Dr. Alcantra went perfectly fine back in 2014, and I followed up with her for another cleaning in 2015. Prior to seeing her though I checked reviews here and all but one was pretty good. It was after my adult daughter started having dental work done with Dr. Alcantra (under my plan) that almost everything seemed to go downhill on the doctor's end, from unprofessionalism to some questionable charges and forever changing estimates with no explanation as to why changes were made, including failing to offer cheaper alternatives such as amalgams instead of composites (silver vs. white fillings). Since we haven't had any fillings we didn't even know there were options! I couldn't believe the things that I was hearing from daughter about Dr. Alcantra, and I googled her to find that MANY other previous patients had similar issues with this dentist, but their reviews were on google. Now if my daughter didn't go to Dr. Alcantra at all, of course my review here would be a five-star raving one. Unfortunately my daughter went to her appointments on her own, and I feel like she was taken advantage of because she trusted the dentist and didn't feel as if there were any reason not to. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the staff was perfectly fine during our visits, collectively. But Dr. Alcantra is a different story. As I write this review there is currently one outstanding complaint against Dr. Alcantra, filed in 2017. I'm not sure how long before my complaint will show up on DCCA's website.
