My first visit with Dr. Lauren Weiss at Wai Kahala Dentistry was due to a dental emergency that…read moreoccurred on a day when my prior dentist was off. Having no way to reach him, I shotgunned calls to other dentists in the East Honolulu area and fortunately Dr. Weiss could see me that day. She took very good care of the emergency I had. Since then, Dr. Weiss has been taking excellent care of all my dental needs for the past few years. She is very knowledgable and addresses my dental issues with a high degree of professionalism and expertise. I am very comfortable with her being my dentist from here on out. So much so that I have recommended multiple family members to her. The waiting room, dental hygienist, and procedure rooms are all clean and much more modern than my prior dentist. Appointments have been on time and the front desk staff have always been nice to me. Also nice about this place is that they are located in the Kahala Mall professional building where there is ample free parking around the building and the mall. I dont know if Dr. Weiss is taking new patients at this time, but if she is and you are looking for a dentist, I strongly recommend giving her a try.

I've been going to this dentist for about five years now, and I can confidently say the quality of…read morecare has been consistently excellent. Over the years, I've had everything from routine cleanings to more involved procedures, and every visit has been handled with professionalism, patience, and attention to detail. He always takes the time to thoroughly explain what's going on, walks through options clearly, and answers questions without ever making you feel rushed. What I appreciate most is the consistency. The office is always clean and organized, appointments run on time, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. You can tell the entire team takes pride in what they do. He's also proactive about preventative care. Instead of just fixing problems, he explains what to watch for and how to maintain long-term dental health. That kind of transparency builds trust -- and after five years, I trust him completely. If you're looking for a dentist who is skilled, honest, and genuinely invested in his patients, I highly recommend him.

Recently visited Dr. Leong for the first time to get a second opinion on a root canal. From the…read moremoment I walked in, everyone there was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Leong made me feel comfortable right away and explained everything very clearly so I could understand my options. I've been to many different dentists here on the island, but I can honestly say he's the best dentist I've seen. A lot of dentists make you feel like they only care about the money, but Dr. Leong truly listened to my concerns and took the time to make sure I felt comfortable throughout the treatment. His assistant, Trisha, was also amazing while assisting him during my procedure. The whole experience felt very reassuring and professional. Thank you to Dr. Leong and the team for making what could have been a stressful visit such a comfortable one.

I came in as a new patient for a cleaning and I was greeted by the front office staff and they made…read moreme feel welcomed. Rica, who was my dental hygienist that day did a great job cleaning my teeth and had informed me about the areas that required aggressive cleaning. She thoroughly cleaned and to best of her ability. She was also gentle when flossing my teeth. After my cleaning, one of the dentists came to inspect my cleaning and review my X-rays with me and mentioned I didn't have any cavities and everything looked good. My experience at Dr Leongs office was great and look forward to returning for another cleaning. Thank you guys so much!

I cannot recommend Erika Smith enough. She is incredibly kind, professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about your dental health. She takes her time, explains everything thoroughly, and makes you feel completely comfortable throughout the entire appointment. Dr. Gary is equally wonderful -- warm, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in the way he gives feedback and recommendations. You can tell the entire team truly cares about their patients and creating a positive experience. If you're looking for a new dentist, book with them immediately and absolutely ask for Erika.

Through the years, I felt abused and traumatized by previous dentists, who would take out their…read morelife frustrations while manhandling me with sudden thrusting, bone-hitting, excruciatingly painful anestesia injections. Then I was blessed to experience Dr. Ho's special technique, in which he uses a special angle or ideal pressure or magic to deliver the injection so that it almost feels pleasant. That coupled with the time Dr. Ho's Office Manager, Char, pointed out how timing certain dental procedures to coincide with insurance coverage renewal would save me over a thousand dollars, made me feel so lucky to have been accepted as a patient. And when considering the unbelievable courtesy and warm professionalism of the rest of his staff, I'm sorry for being reluctant to write an honest review until now. Just being selfish.

Wouln't want to risk getting any services here. The "office manager" was really rude as well.
