No one really wants to come to a dentist, let alone a dental specialist? You hate to admit you need one when your tooth acts up and it pains you. Enter Honolulu Endodontics. Specifically, Dr. Ishikawa. Bottom line, quality care here. Yes, you will pay a lot on the day of your procedure. I guess the old adage is correct here, you get what you pay for. Especially, if you need something called the "Cone Beam CT Limited & 1". I was informed that dental insurance does not cover it, but you need to obtain the X-ray in order to proceed with the dental care I needed here. X-ray cost out of pocket is $260! Add the Consultation fee $116.90! Yowzaa! It does add up quickly. Then there is still the deductible, State taxes, and my copayment I'll need to cover. The office will go over your estimated payment prior to the procedure so be ready with $$$$. My dentist recommended that I see Dr. Ishikawa. He has a great chair side manner and Chastity, his dental assistant today, was equally as nice. Dr. Ishikawa does a great job of showing you and informing you of what dental work needs to be done. Dr. Ishikawa is also skilled at numbing your area that needs to be worked on. That's a definite plus in my "less pain is always better" philosophy. There's a follow up appointment in a few weeks. Hopefully, all will be good. I'll also need to follow up with my dentist. I see more $$$$ flying out in the near future. I keep telling myself it's self care! To have healthy teeth is to be healthy... right? There is paid parking in the Hale Pawaa building. I didn't ask if the office validated, as I was dropped off for my appointment. Bathrooms are available outside of the office. You need to request a code or key for access. What an experience. read more

See all

Everything Dr. Yim did went amazingly well!! and I am so afraid of any dental work! I didn't even know he was done until he said "you did great!!" This was a 10++ visit The office is awesome and they made me feel relaxed! I recommend this office to anyone... especially those who are afraid of dental work Valerie L read more

I had to get a root canal.. that's a 0 out of 10.. but luckily I was referred to Dr. Yim and my experience from start to finish was a 10/10! The staff was welcoming and got me in at my earliest convenience. Dr. Yim was surprisingly quick and super nice and comforting. He worked quietly and I experienced very little discomfort during and after the procedure. He took time to explain everything and was able to save my tooth from having to be extracted. I hope I never need to get a root canal ever again but if I did definitely would see Dr. Yim again. Highly recommend. read more

Oh wow. It's official, I'm definitely not royalty, because my crown fell off. twice. Enter Dr. Megan Yamaguchi, endodontic heroine, weekend warrior, and undisputed Queen of Compassion. Now, mind you, she didn't make the crown, wasn't responsible for it, and probably had other plans on her weekend than dealing with another royal dental emergency from me. But there she was, gallantly stepping in to help me with my fallen crown and on a prior visit, an inflamed gum situation that she had no part in creating. With patience, professionalism, and a touch of gentle magic Dr. Yamaguchi saved the day again. She listened to my concerns, treated me with care, and managed to do it all with gracious loveliness. If crowns could reattach themselves out of sheer admiration, they would for her. Bottom line: If your tooth throws a tantrum, your crown takes a tumble, or your gums go rogue, Dr. Yamaguchi is the gem you want in your corner. She doesn't just fix teeth; she restores hope to the cowardly dental patient (me). Five stars, a standing ovation, and a well deserved crown to this amazing woman!! Seriously, this is the place to go for Endodontic care. Thank you Dr. Yamaguchi as I leave with a reattached temporary crown of my own, I am grateful to this outstanding place that treats you like royalty. read more

When my regular dentist recommended I do some specialized work which required a visit to the endodontics, I was less than thrilled. To say "it's easier than pulling teeth" would have been very much an understatement. The positive aspect was that my dentist had only good raves about Dr. Derrick Fu and how great he is. It was fairly simple for me to make my own appointment and the office staff emailed me all of the necessary paperwork to fill out online so I would not have to face that clipboard session in the waiting room. When I arrived, I only had about 5 minutes before they called me in. They have all the state of the art equipment including this Xray machine where the panels rotate around your head as you stand there. It was all done in 15 seconds. When Dr Fu came into the room, he was very easy going, clear and explained the options and procedure to me very well. I felt totally comfortable and confident in letting him perform the procedure. All the staff in the front were friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong with Honolulu Endodontics if you need this type of care. read more

Doctor Meagan Yamaguchi explained the procedure and answered all my questions and concerns about the procedure. My tooth already had a root canal but since it was infected it had to be replaced. She made sure I was comfortable and she was very patient and thorough. I was very impressed with her knowledge regarding what was done. She also called me this morning to see how I was doing. I would definitely recommend going to her for this type of procedure! I did not feel any discomfort yesterday or today. read more

MORE THAN 5 STARS SERVICE I was referred by my dentist to Honolulu Endodotic and my visit was scheduled with Dr. Yim on 03/08/2024 for root canal treatment. Dr. Yim showed me the scan pictures just taken and explained what was the problem and what type of treatment is best for my root canal problem. The root canal procedure was pain free experience and done less than an hour. In fact it was so no pain, I fell asleep!. I was also impressed and his assistant was very friendly and helpful, too. They deserve more than 5 stars. read more

Excellent service! Extremely caring, professional and knowledgeable. Blake explained everything in detail including what was going on as he proceeded with the root canal. He answered all my questions and I felt well cared for. If you ever have to get a root canal, I'd definitely recommend it to be done by Dr. Ishikawa! read more

Top notch service with overflowing aloha! Friendly and efficient front office staff, outstanding doctors who are experts and pioneers in their careers. They help you to feel relaxed, gently explaining the procedure, and all done with precision, accuracy, and professionalism. You feel confident that you are in the hands of caring and understanding doctors. State of the art equipment, current and up to date processes and procedures, and easy to make an appointment. read more

Once again Honolulu Endodontics has came through for me! I had Dr. Park this time who was able to figure out I had an infection in a tooth which is why my sinus cavity was hurting so badly. I had been to multiple doctors, dentists, ENT, neurologists, even the ER because my pain has been so bad. He figured out this grueling mystery for me in a matter of 5 minutes and I was so happy I could cry, even though I have to get an extraction, I at least finally know the source of my pain! Thank you so much! read more

Blake Ishikawa is amazing. He is a true professional showing care, concern and patience in dealing with my molar that had to have a crown removed. My tooth was tricky since it had substantial decay under the crown and my root canals were really narrow. From the virtually painless shots he administered to his explanations during the root canal procedure , he was wonderful in ensuring I was comfortable and pain free. I went to his office after seeing another endodontist that I was not entirely comfortable with. I took and paid for a full array of x-rays there but they would not send all of these x-rays over to Dr Ishikawa 's office. That meant I would have to pay for another set of of x-rays so I was not happy. Dr. Ishikawa's office understood my dismay , and in order to facilitate the procedure, offered to take another set of x-rays and not charge me for them. That was beyond considerate in my eyes. Anyway, I highly recommend Dr Ishikawa and this office with its friendly staff for a virtually painless procedure that I had worried about for many days. He has a great chairside manner, was reassuring, and totally allayed all my worries. This is the place to go if you are looking for professional and pain-free. Post procedure : spent a very easy night, no pain, no inflammation or facial swelling, I am pretty amazed! read more

Never been a big fan of getting my teeth drilled...but if you have to have it done, I highly suggest having an amazing endodontic dentist to do the work! Seriously, this was the best experience I have had. So if you scroll back to see my previous reviews, I have a top-notch dentist I see for my regular dental care. He referred me to this office, and I was a little apprehensive bc of my previous experiences. I was seen by Dr. Noguiera here...such a knowledgeable doctor who explained everything as he worked. He had a calm and confident demeanor and was personable too. Such a great experience for something that's not usually a "great experience"! Fellow yelpers, bookmark this business in case you or your family ever need the best endodontic care! read more

Was having tooth problems, and after finding out the extent of the issue, got sent here by Eugene Azuma. Overall the process of the root canal went very smoothly (well, about as smoothly as that kind of thing goes), and I would recommend Blake Ishikawa for his kind and professional conduct. They also do online forms so that you don't have to sit in the lobby and fill the form out during the appointment. Note: don't forget the free 1 hour parking with validation. read more

Dr Paulo Nogueira is the best endodontist ! Just had another root canal with him. I dread root canals but Dr Nogueira is seriously such a professional and a sweetheart. He is caring and compassionate and thoroughly explains everything about the procedure and even explains the xrays so you can see it for yourself what he's talking about. He even called me himself to check up on me the very next day ! What dentist/doctor does that ?!? I am amazed ! Thank you Dr Nogueira & staff for making an unpleasant procedure, as pleasant as it can be. You all are the best ! read more

Henry C. Yim DDS , mahalo for saving my front tooth. You and your staff are very knowledgeable, patient, caring, So happy Michael Nishime referred me to Honolulu Endodontics. Both of you saved me from many months of pain. See you both for more dental care. read more

If you ever need a root canal, this is the place to go! Dr. Fu is extremely efficient, and he explains everything so you understand clearly what is being done. Many of us associate a root canal with pain, and a lot of discomforts, but with Dr. Fu, there is no pain! I was amazed at how fast the procedure was too! Thanks Dr. Foo and staff....you guys are amazing! read more

Clean state of the art facility. They gave me estimates of costs beforehand which was nice. Dr Fu and his assistant were fantastic. Front desk friendly and welcoming. No pain procedure. Easy parking. Highly recommend. read more

I was on vacation for a week when on Wednesday 1:30 AM one of my molars started hurting. I rinsed with hydrogen peroxide and that helped a bit. I was scheduled to leave on Saturday. I texted my dentist Dr Lance Teramoto at about 6:30 am and after a few text exchanges he determined that the nerves in my molar were probably dying and I might need a root canal. I had a busy Thursday planned and Friday was a holiday. His office called around for an endodontist and was able to locate one that could see me on Friday. Since the pain had subsided, that worked out perfectly. I looked up the name of the doctor they were able to secure, Dr Blake Ishikawa. I quickly googled him... hummm, he's the same age as my son! He had great reviews and also impressive credentials. Friday morning came so we headed down. Everyone in the office was very polite and cordial. One of the dental techs came to get me to do x-rays, then on to "the chair"... Dr Ishikawa arrived and he is better looking in person than his photos in the internet . He is very personable and professional. He thoroughly explained the x-rays and determined using a cold cotton ball that my tooth needed a root canal. Ok, we're on. I just wanted to get it done so I wouldn't have any problems in the future. They did the numbing and the mouth equipment thing. He assured me to let him know if I felt any discomfort. After about an hour of drilling and cleaning, it was all done. Filled and finished. Painless and comfortable... does it sound weird to say, it was the best root canal I ever had? Ha ha. Glad it's over. Thank you Dr Ishikawa! read more

Today I had a root canal done at Honolulu Endodontics by Dr. Derrick Fu. I can't believe how fast and relatively painless it was. My old dentist used to take 2+ hours, Dr. Fu took less than 45 minutes. He took the time to explain exactly what was wrong with my tooth and what he was going to do. The office is high tech with 3D imaging and xrays that show up immediately on the computer screen in the office. I told him I was intolerant of any pain and he took the time to make sure the procedure was pretty much pain free. If you are looking for a new dentist that does root canals I highly recommend Dr. Fu. read more

I've had so far three root canal procedures done here over several years and I must say THIS PLACE IS GOOD !!! My doctors in the past were Dr. Miura and Dr. Kuruhara at least 15 years ago and I was totally pleased with their work. This last time I had Dr. Paulo Nogueira and I was blown away by not only his work but how he explained what the process was going to be. He's very kind, as well as a good doctor. I have to add that I was also impressed with his assistant. I didn't get her name but I'll add it to my review later when I get it. She was so nice and friendly and what floored me was how she handled the instruments that the doctor used. It seemed to me that she knew the procedure like a doctor too. I highly recommend this place if you are in need of a root canal !!! read more

Can I get these guys negative stars? If so, I completely would. I had a dental emergency. I did something (god knows what) to my mouth and was in increasing pain for 5 days. Finally, I saw a dentist would said it looked like an infection and I possibly needed a root canal. Great (sarcasm), but whatever. I get there and they need to do x-rays, more tests, and they charged me close to $200 out of pocket for the emergency visit. Again, great (more sarcasm), but whatever. A dentist, who clearly went to Nurse Hatchet's School of Bedside Manner, came and checked me out for a total of 5 minutes. Said there was basically nothing wrong with me. It looked bad. It was probably viral. No infection. It would go away within 2 weeks. I'm charged close to $400 for a worthless 5 minutes in which I was basically told to go away. I get substantially worse for the next two days and finally end up in urgent care two nights later, because I can barely move my mouth. I definitely can't eat or sleep. I see a doctor, because after the endodontist I've seen, every dentist resembled Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors. Doctor takes one look inside my mouth, sees immediately that it's an infection. Gives me steroids, strong antibiotics, and oral numbing medication. All things the dentist has full authority to prescribe. I start to feel better by the next day. Pain is gone within three more days. I finish all my medication and I'm good as new. Of course, bottom line: terrible misdiagnosis by a dentist with the bedside manner of Annie Wilkes. Do not go to these guys. Dental infections are no joke. I'm just glad I ended up going to urgent care and finally getting the antibiotics I needed. read more

I am in Honolulu for vacation, and develop the worst tooth pain in my life. I figure I need a root canal. I called multiple offices in the area and no one had availability. Honolulu Endo took me same day. I saw Dr Ishikawa. Great bed side manor, and virtually pain free root canal. If you can say getting a root canal was a great experience, this was it. Office staff was professional and kind. Thank you read more

I love having root canal...NOT!!! Being a victim of a root canal treatment before, I can assure you that root canal equals a four-letter word, and it isn't "love" (ouch?). My first root canal four years ago was necessitated by a severe, burning pain; it was as if someone took a blowtorch and lit my tooth on fire until it got red-hot. I called my then-former-dentist frantically and got an emergency root canal. After that incident, my tooth began to do weird things, like throb like mad out of the blue, cause me sharp pain as if I was chewing on tin-foil and stab me periodically throughout the day and night for months on end. I was told the pain was normal and I'd have to basically live with it. After four years, I did get used to the pain. During my routine six-month cleaning at another great dentist (review coming up soon), X-rays revealed an abcess and I was promptly referred to a specialist who does root canals, an endodontist, Dr. Fu. It only took me one and half weeks to get an appointment and his staff from the get-go was 100% professional. They were quick to schedule my appointment knowing I was on vacation (and I am sure they would schedule anyone with pain a lot quicker but I had no pain). They called me back to confirm the appointment and took time to explain where they were located. I arrived to a beautiful office with a large screen TV, bottled water and refreshments on the counter, dimmed mood lighting and a magazine/newspaper clipping in a frame on the wall that said "Best Endodontic Clinic of the Year" award. Impressive. I waited no more than 15 minutes before I was called in to see Dr. Fu, who took time to cover detailed information regarding my particular case and what would need to be done; showing me the X-rays, he told me, " good thing you came in when you did otherwise the abcess would have went to your brain" He also explained that my healthy immune system luckily kept the abcess at bay, but it was only a matter of time before big trouble happened. The re-do on my previous root canal took one hour, not to mention a previously undetected nerve root that was festering. Dr. Fu was able to kill and pack a secondary nerve that went undetected for years and repack the first root canal that was the main source of my chronic pain and resulting abcess. He took X-rays after and showed me where he repacked the first root and the previously undetected (microscopic) second nerve root, the one he had killed and packed. The staff at the front desk smiled at me before I came and when I left. I could tell they loved being there, and that's important to have a staff that loves working for their customers and usually that comes from the management, the doctors themselves. I was waiting for pain to hit but I am glad to say its been several days since I had my root canal done and I am amazed that I have no pain, whatsoever. Dr. Fu did a great job and his staff did an amazing job as well. I got a follow up letter today reminding me to see my regular dentist for the permanent filling. Total cost of root canal with insurance coverage was $260.00 (without insurance $800) The fees are explained to you clearly, up front. No surprise. I hope I don't need any more oral surgery but if I do, I don't think I'd go anywhere else!!! read more

I was referred to this clinic from my own personal dentist for an issue with my previously done in another state crown & root canal work. I was in astronomical pain, my personal dentist was handling my pain/infection with medication beforehand but knew I would need actual work done on my crown. While it took what seemed like FOREVER to get an appointment here (almost a month, thank god my dentist was handing my pain & etc beforehand or i swear i would've died ) it was well worth the wait. The doctor was so super professional, the receptionist staff were really accommodating & nice, the assistants were so welcoming it made me so much more comfortable. They have some of the most high tech equipment & they were able to get all of the xrays, and info needed within minutes. Parking is validated, so that's painless & easy as well. I ended up needing a root canal, because my previous state's dentist missed a canal entirely. Which is what caused me so much pain & bone loss. When the actual root canal happened, it was so pain free & easy that I would've fallen asleep if the drills weren't so loud ahaha. The doctor had the best explanations, and ways to help me understand what was going on, what needed to happen, and what to look for in the future should I have any more issues (moving again). I was so pleased with this staff/office I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Received a referral to Honolulu Endodontics. They were able to schedule me right away (BIG yay!!). Location was easy to find in the Hale Pāwaa building (S. Beretania St). Met with Dr. Blake Ishikawa D.D.S. for my consult, who determined that I indeed needed a root canal. We agreed to do it, same day. Dr. Blake was efficient and gentle, making sure I was comfortable and not in pain. I have a hard time keeping my jaw open and I appreciated that he worked quickly, but also with attention to detail. The part that really impressed me was when he personally called two days after my service and then followed up with a signed letter. His assistant called on the first day following my service which I thought was nice, but to personally get a call from Dr. Blake was terrific! I truly appreciated him checking to see how I felt and letting me know they would contact me in 6 months for my complimentary follow-up appointment. Dr. Blake is an awesome endodontist and I am so grateful for his attentive care! read more

Had my second visit to Honolulu Endodontics in maybe seven years and while I see that a lot of the reviews sung the praise of Dr Fu, and I can attest to saying that he is that good based on my first visit, I am writing about my visit with Dr Vivian Click. Having a root canal procedure is never fun, but if you ever need it done, this is the place to go. The office is clean and well lit. The staff is very friendly and professional. Dr Click is also very enthusiastic and has a ton of energy. After the first few seconds of meeting her, I knew that she enjoys her work and that I was in good hands. Just like my previous visit, everything is explained along the way. Pain management seems to be very important because after the initial shots to numb the particular tooth, I still had a very small level of feeling. Totally tolerable, but was that acceptable? Nope, not to Dr Click. She then applied an extra level of numbing agent and all feeling was gone. I was all ok after the first shots, but she really wanted there to be no bad experience for me during the procedure. As for how it all ended.......perfect. The pain in my tooth is all gone and now I just need to see my primary dentist to get the tooth capped. Would I see and recommend Dr Click and Honolulu Endodontics? Hell yes! read more

I was referred by my dentist for a re-treatment (?) of a root canal. Just before finishing, the endodontist told me that he cannot finish due to damage that was not shown on the xray. I had to pay the full charge for an incomplete treatment, the same cost that they quoted me when my appointment was made. I'm sure they could have given me a discount for an incomplete procedure. The woman who took my payment was sarcastic and made up a flimsy excuse about the full payment for an incomplete treatment. I don't have a problem with the doctors manner or personality, he was ok. read more

Good service and fast for tooth infection especially if it is an emergency and needs attention. Emergency room can only give pain pills which is temporary. read more

Dr. Derrick Fu is pretty chill kind of guy! Now I see why Dr.Obayashi recommended the guy! I'm loving my new dental care team and since they are so amazing what better way to show them some justice by commenting on my amazing pain relieving experience! Been in pain for 8 whole days swelling, sore, and unrelenting pain with a combo of no sleep and barely eating enough calories to satisfy an ant... Both dr. Derrick and dr. Obayashi's combined efforts to make this pain and infection go away with minimal discomfort was successful! Thank you !! read more

Honolulu Endodontics - Atmosphere in the office is very modern and relaxing! Complimentary coffee and a movie.. Yes! - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I can't say enough amazing things about this place! I've spent this whole year working on my teeth, and I literally feel like everyone here is family. They are all so welcoming, friendly, and just want to help you and your teeth! I first came here for some emergency services when an infection made my whole entire face swell up. They took me in right away and did everything they could to get me out of pain and discomfort as fast as possible. Dr. Nogueira is so amazing I will recommend him to everyone! Not only does he do awesome work, but he also helped me figure out the best way to pay for all of the work I need to get done. He helped me sign up for insurance, let me go on payment plans, did everything he could to make sure I got my teeth the help they needed without having to stress about the financials too much. He really had my back throughout the whole process and I'm so thankful. I love everything about this place! Got so many root canals here and all of them are in perfect shape, the bone has even started growing back where I had lost a bunch of it from infection! Couldn't be happier with all the work I've gotten done here and I will definitely be a customer for life. Thank you Dr. Nogueira and everyone else at Honolulu Endodontics! read more

front staff is kinda rude. they gave me an estimate for an upcoming appointment and overcharged me $200. only reason i knew was because i've had the same work done before, and had an idea of the cost. if i didn't know better, i would've just paid it and they would've gotten away with ripping me off. when i brought it to their attention, they gave me no reasoning and brought it to the correct price. the doctor himself is okay, but his office staff make it not worth going. i'd rather take my business elsewhere. read more

Amazing staff and very cozy ambiance. Dr. Blake Ishikawa was able to squeeze me into his schedule after I missed an appointment earlier that morning. He and the technician(?) took their time to make my root canal painless and made sure I was comfortable every few minutes. I am very happy with their service and recommend them to anyone needing dental work done. read more

The technology used at Honolulu Endodontics is amazing! Dr. Derek Fu and staff used it to pinpoint and resolve the problem quickly and in the follow up, used it to highlight the before/after of the affected area. They are all very calm, pleasant, and professional in how they handled my situation. I couldn't have asked for a more positive experience. Great teamwork with my dentist Dr. Scott Wardwell as well... read more

A very pleasant experience! I needed a root canal done & was referred here by my dentist. Such a nice atmosphere & I loved how I was greeted by the receptionist. She gave me paper work to fill out, did my X-ray & waited for about 5 minutes for Dr. Fu to come in. Together we looked at the X-ray images & showed me what was going in with my tooth. Then we went over the procedure & what he needed to do. Got the anesthesia & proceeded! Everything went so smoothly & it was really fast. No pain, no complications. Thank you for a great experience Dr. Fu! Definitely recommend them if you need a root canal. read more

I'm embarrassed to say that I have had several root canals in my years. In short i've had a great fear of the dentist & instead of going when I should things got worse. Here's what I look for in service.All i care about is that staff cares about what he/she does, is straight forward, LISTENS, doesn't judge and is respectful. Being nice can be interpreted in different ways so these are my top 5 things. Alright that out of the way, here goes. Parking - structure is small but there was ample amount. I've been there twice, two different reasons, and on both occasions I parked within minutes.The only gripe is there's a bit of a squeeze on turns. *Heads up even with validation I still paid a dollar.. Office -(waiting room) small but comfy seating, staff was attentive and lucky me i didn't wait but 5 minutes till I was seen. Paper work is mostly done online and other documents was quickly done upon check in. Back rooms - Wow, what a great view, clean and professional. I felt like a star. I had the corner room with a view...hehe staff - all professional and nice. I was super sensitive before going so their niceness was not fully appreciated until all was done. I've been around the block so to me just because your nice doesn't mean the visit will be... but, it actually was. Assistance- i had 2. Both friendly, professional and I appreciated the chemistry between them and doctor. Of all dentist' I've seen they were the most in synced. Doctor- I had Dr. .Blake Ishikawa. I'm a pretty assertive person and most people cannot handle my energy when I begin to express my feelings especially when I'm anxious. I also have a nervous laugh so just imagine what a creeper I look like. All that said, within the first 5 minutes of speaking to Dr. Ishikawa I was completely calm. I couldn't believe it. Because of my behavior (please note it's because of extreme fears of the dentist) most doctors offer me something for my nerves, he didn't. He just listened, understood and was very clear with his communication. He didn't treat me like a baby like some...so insulting. He wasn't annoyed at my fears like MANY other dentist and he was very patient.WOW, have't seen a patient, calm doc in years. I had no pain, felt very comfortable and was out within an hour. I'm still in shock and this time in a very good way LOL!! It was like the dentist whisperer hahaha!!! Seriously though, 5 plus stars for my visit. If you're anything like me when it comes to the dentist they'll make the experience tolerable and for most VERY pleasant considering the situation. read more

I came here for my root canal treatment after my bicycle accident. The procedure went very well, Dr. Miura was fast and efficient. However when I came back for my followup, he failed to inform me of a noticeable gap in the root canal which showed up in the X-ray. It wasn't until my annual exam with my primary dentist that this was brought up to my attention. Immediately my dentist tried to get in touch with Dr. Miura, a process which took nearly two months before she received a response. The gap had by then got infected and I was back at step one when my crowns & posts had to be removed and root canals replaced; and this was a year after the accident! Dr. Miura's negligence is completely unacceptable for someone who claims to be a professional and Honolulu Endodontics has since been removed from the referral list for the military. read more

I've never had a root canal, and had often heard various 'horror stories' regarding the pain and discomfort associated with them. I was referred to see Dr. Ha Bin Park, at Honolulu Endodontics, by my new general dentist Dr. Nelson Hatanaka (separate review). From my initial contact with his office, up to and including the day of my actual appointment, I was surprised at the caring and consideration shown by his staff. All of them were friendly, caring and considerate. They attended to my comfort, even offering me something to keep me warm, when I appeared a bit chilled. Dr. Park was very pleasant and explained what he recommended. During the procedure, he demonstrated deft skills and a gentle touch. At the end of the procedure he showed me the final x-ray of the root canal, which looked perfect (granted, I'm not a radiologist, but I am a physician who reads x-rays). He made sure I never experienced any pain or discomfort, and addressed all of my questions and concerns. I'm writing this review one day after the root canal, and am experiencing absolutely no discomfort or pain. Frankly, it's hard to believe I even underwent the root canal! I can, without reservation, fully recommend Dr. Park, his staff, and Honolulu Endodontics. read more

So fortunate to have been able to get an emergency root canal procedure done by Dr. Fu. After a sleepless night in excruciating pain for hours, Dr. Fu did an amazing job of relieving that pain within an hours time. Not only was he fast and professional, the work that he did was PAINLESS!!!!!! That was the best part! If anyone out there ever needs a root canal done, please take note of all the other great reviews about his procedures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. FU. The front office personnel and his assistant was also nice and friendly! Complete business practice! Thank you Dr. Fu and staff! read more

I came here with the idea that I would be getting a root canal, and instead I was charged $204 for a thoughtless consultation, and months later my tooth was still in pain. I understand that Dr. Fu looked at my xray and could not see that I had visible damage with their high tech machine, so he simply brushed off my comments of actually feeling pain. When I filled out the form describing my pain level, personal info, he had not read it carefully. I wrote I had low levels of pain and he came in "you say you have a 7 out of 10 in pain!?" No, I did not- and you can see that I did not write that. He did this several times, indicating that he was obviously not paying attention or caring. He didn't seem attentive to my concerns at all, and only with a lot of pressing did he offer to schedule another appointment to see if there were improvements, without making any adjustments. If I've had the same pain for 6 months, and you don't change anything, how is it going to get better? It's not. When I told my dentist, they called me and suddenly scheduled me for a root canal, even though they didn't even want to see if anything changed. It seemed like they just wanted to nab the 200 consultation fee, which they said would not go toward the cost of a root canal. And then charge for a root canal. Did not feel great. I asked for a different referral only to find that there are other better, far more attentive and actually caring endodontists that don't charge absurd $200 consultation fees that are nonrefundable. I will certainly be informing my dentist. I found a much better place, and feel much more taken care of, and not swindled by this office. They may have cared about other patients, but they certainly didn't care about me. I recommend shopping around and going elsewhere. read more

I am truly a dental phobic person who has to be dragged to the dentist. When I finally went for a general appointment, I was a nervous wreck to find out I needed a root canal (among other things) I was referred to this office immediately and was told by my general dentist that I would be taken cared of. Little did I know it would be the best treatment I ever received!! The lovely front office ladies are very comforting and helpful. They were quite accommodating to my schedule and made it a point to make me feel welcomed and assured. My general dentist told me to see any of them and I was appointed with Dr. Kuwahara. I was amazed by his friendliness and comforting nature. Before the procedure began, I was shaking like a nervous chihuahua!! He talked me through the entire procedure and made sure I was VERY numb before he even began. If I ever need another root canal, I will only come to this office!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart read more
