I never noticed it before, but a girlfriend of mine told me that I just *had* to go here. And now you all are shaking with anticipation and asking "Why, why, WHY here, of all places?!" I shall tell you why. I've been chubby all my life. The chub turned into being plain old overweight. And it's not fun, you know. Three pregnancies later and I'm way heavier (I won't say how much!) than I was in college. I was looking for a fix. I needed to find a way to rid myself of the fluff. I tried the HCG diet for about a month. If you don't know what that is, then be a smart person and Google it. In that time, I had lost about 16 pounds. Yay, me. My uber sexy and cool girlfriend had also done the diet and told me I should have lost TWICE that much. Come to find out, the HCG I was taking was WEAK SAUCE! Yes, truly! It was filled with ADDITIVES and FILLERS and extra crap. She told me to go to Alternative Health and buy me the GOOD STUFF. So I did. Just the other day. The stuff I bought looks like it has some serious MANA. It's dark orange, not like the clear stuff I bought online. I am totally stoked and cannot wait to say "Hello!" to skinny. Skinny bitch, here I come.

She uses Standard Process (which I've always found good) and other cutting edge nutrients ( buy the liquid chlorophyll and put in your water -it really gives my energy a boost )along with gentle adjustments that have surprising results. My knee went out from ballet and she fixed it in one session! I was amazed. Her prices are reasonable for those of us working parents on a budget and her caring for her patients and 'TLC' is admirable. I have the greatest respect for this gifted naturopath.

I've been really curious about Chinese preventative medicine for a bit now and when my friend said…read morethat she was having some back pain, we decided to stop by Chinese Herbs & Acupuncture together. We did call ahead to make an appointment, but I believe that he may also do walk-ins. To start off, you fill out a form with your basic information and main concerns that you want to work on. Then, Dr. Au takes you into his office for a short consultation. He will ask you about what you listed on your form and ask questions to best pin-point your issues. He will also take your blood pressure and pulse. He can tell a lot about your body simply from taking your pulse. I'm really not a needle person so I was a bit anxious but it really wasn't painful. He even connected the needles to electiccurrent and it's a weird feeling at first but it ends up feeling like a deep tissue massage. Everything is clean and while it may not be a bougie spa vibe-- it's still very comfortable. I walked out drinking the Dr. Au kool-aid. I will be back and will be recommending to anyone and everyone.

Last year in April of 2024 I sought help for some pain I was experiencing, I went and listened to Dr. Son explaining in detail of of what he hoped to accomplish with me and my challenging problems. I paid a whopping $12200 out of pocket for my upper back are ($1500), right knee ($1500), and my upper arms at ($1500). My lower back at $6750.00. The figures are as best that I can remember. Treatment consisted of taking huge 350 vials of blood and spinning them centrifugally and inserting them back into my body. Sometimes it was one or two, and sometimes 3. I got extremely dizzy after this and sometimes had to wait awhile until my body recovered until I felt better. There was one incident that I recall where they reinjected stem cells into my lower back and that was excruciating. I cried out in pain. During these visits sometimes it was done by Dr. Son (who is not an MD) but a chiropractor. There were two visits that I met a Dr. Charles Arakaki and the next time there was a doctor named Dr. Carlos Fernandez. Funny that I never saw them again. ALL OF THE TREATMENTS DID NOT WORK, I COMPLETED THE EXERCISES TO A T AND ALL FAILED!! At that point I stopped going, no sense in wasting my time as well as endure more pain. I went to my regular pain doctor and he immediately scheduled a procedure for me for the next day and I have been pain free for about 3 1/2 weeks. I later e mailed Dr. Son asking for my money back. He called me yesterday and said that he was unable to do so because of the paperwork that I signed. He went on and on to say that he complied with the intent of the scope of the immediate paperwork and could not refund me. I feel TAKEN advantage of. I am soon to be 74 years of age, gave him a big chunk of my money with NO PROMISED RESULTS. If anyone here who has had a similar issue with NexGen maybe we can all ge together and file a class action lawsuit. Hit me up and we'll discuss.

A peculiar blend of neglect and confusion. Dim lighting illuminated dust-covered decor, as if the place were designed by someone who'd only heard of restaurants through secondhand stories and fever dreams. The service--or what they called service--was an experience in itself, if your idea of service includes long, awkward silences and staff members who seemed genuinely bewildered by the concept of customers. I was greeted (eventually) with a look that said, "Why are you here?" A question I'd soon be asking myself repeatedly. The service was terrible. Slapping baby oil all over the place. I walked out

I also struggled with constant fatigue and couldn't live a normal life. I was mostly resting at home. I didn't want to start taking medications for the rest of my life, so I looked for a doctor who could address the root cause and offer a more natural approach to treatment. That's when I found Dr. Tapryal, and I'm so glad I did. He is a sincere and caring doctor who truly wants his patients to get better. During my first appointment, he took the time to listen carefully and made me feel heard and hopeful. He explained a treatment plan, and I decided to give it a try because it focused on natural healing. After several treatments, I noticed significant improvements. I was able to walk again, regained my strength, and had much more energy. Today, I can walk normally and work like I used to. I truly don't know where I would be if I hadn't seen him. He gave me hope and helped me get my health back without relying on medication. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Tapryal.

She is…read morevery personable and carefully listened to my concerns, reviewed my imaging, and asked appropriate questions. We proceeded with a PRP injection, which I learned that there was actual homework/prep work for me to do BEFORE the treatment that the hip MD didn't even tell me about! Such things like stopping NSAIDs, drinking, fasting, etc. to help make the PRP injection more successful. I would not have known this if it weren't for Dr. Ferrante. The injection went smoothly and I experienced significant pain relief. I will return to do the other hip now that I know how successful it is. I know PRP injections are expensive, but definitely worth the price (insurance doesn't pay for them thru a MD anyways). She made me feel comfortable (as comfortable as you can- these injections are sore) thru out the procedure, and increased my trust by providing me with a lot of information about what to expect before/during/after, and of course following up. Of note, when I came in for a hip follow up, she noticed I had a wrist brace on, and took initiative to inquire about this new injury and brainstormed a special taping to help offload/support the area (again, something that the orthopedic PA didn't think about) which also provided more stability/less pain for my wrist. She offered another treatment option for it if occupational therapy didn't help. I highly recommend Dr. Ferrante, she takes the time to listen, thinks outside the box, keeps you well-informed, and offers effective solutions to your health concerns.

I came in for a knee injury, and Dr. Jené Ferrante was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She took the time to really understand what was going on with my injury instead of rushing through the appointment or just treating symptoms. That alone made such a difference. I've already started to see improvement, which feels amazing, and I appreciate how she explained everything in a way that made me feel informed and empowered in my healing process. You can tell she truly cares about treating the whole person, not just the injury. The integrative approach they use really stands out, it feels modern but also supportive of your body's natural healing, which I personally value a lot. I highly recommend Hawaii Natural Medicine if you're looking for thoughtful, personalized care and real results.

It's right down the street from me in Waikiki so easy walk to a great venue (free valet if you are driving). The space is really well done. Clean, minimal, still feels clinical but in a good way. Staff was great... friendly, efficient, and everything ran smoothly. It's medically led, which is important for me. RNs on staff, and the manager clearly knows her stuff when it comes to peptides, GLP-1s, IV therapy, all of it. Went in feeling pretty dehydrated and low energy... did an IV and tried a NAD shot for the first time. Already feeling noticeably better. I'll definitely be back. Might try PRP or EmsculptNEO next time. Solid spot in Waikiki that's easy to overlook if you're not paying attention.

Within an hour of the Hangover Special IV, we were literally REVIVED and back to our energetic, laughing selves. I've never felt a turnaround that fast in my life. 100% better is an understatement. We left feeling like superheroes! What truly made this place unforgettable wasn't just the magic in the bag, it was the people. The owner, Tamara, is hands-down the kindest, sweetest, most genuine soul I've ever met. From the second we walked in she welcomed us like family, checked on us constantly, and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. Her warmth and aloha spirit is the real deal. And then there's Chelsea, our incredible nurse she's an angel in scrubs! I have a legit phobia of needles (like panic-attack level), and she was so patient, gentle, and reassuring that I barely felt a thing. She talked me through every step, held my hand (literally), and turned what could have been a nightmare into something I actually laughed about afterward. By the time the IV was in, my fear was gone and I felt totally safe. The spa itself is beautiful, clean, serene, and the perfect oasis right in the heart of Waikiki. Everyone on the team treats you like ohana, no rush, no judgment, just pure care. If you partied a little too hard (or a lot too hard ), are fighting jet lag, or just feeling run down, RUN, don't walk, to Drip Hawaii. Tamara, Chelsea, and the whole crew will fix you up and hug your soul while they're at it. Hands down the BEST IV experience on the island. I'm telling every single friend, family member, and stranger on the beach about this place. Mahalo nui loa, Tamara & Chelsea, you ladies are absolute legends! We love you!! See you next trip (probably sooner than we planned )
