    After being diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer at age 46, I chose to undergo a double…read moremastectomy with reconstruction. Between 2017 and 2019, I had expander surgery and two revision procedures. Unfortunately, despite multiple surgeries, I was deeply unhappy with the results. Following my last revision in 2019, I met with my surgeon to discuss my concerns. After examining me, he told me, "You just need to lose weight. Then the implants will look better." I was devastated. Before my cancer diagnosis, I had always been healthy and taken great pride in my physical well-being. After enduring chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, and years of reconstruction surgeries, hearing that my concerns were simply a matter of weight was heartbreaking. The experience left me struggling with my confidence and sense of self. In late 2025, my husband encouraged me to seek a second opinion. Reluctantly, I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Christopher Tokin. From the beginning, Dr. Tokin listened to my concerns and believed he could improve my reconstruction. After three previous surgeries with disappointing results, I was skeptical but hopeful. In February 2026, Dr. Tokin performed what I can only describe as a miracle. The results exceeded every expectation I had. For the first time since my cancer journey began, I felt like I had regained a part of my old self. The reconstruction is beautiful and natural-looking--exactly what I had hoped for all along. Since then, I have lost 30 pounds and feel like I have a completely new lease on life. While the physical transformation has been incredible, the emotional impact has been even greater. Dr. Tokin restored not only my appearance, but also my confidence and quality of life. I am profoundly grateful for Dr. Tokin and often wonder if he realizes just how much he changed my life. He is one of the kindest, most compassionate, and humble physicians I have ever met. If you are struggling with the results of a breast reconstruction or wondering whether improvement is possible, I strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tokin. Even if you've been told to accept your outcome, don't give up hope. I am living proof that a skilled and caring surgeon can make all the difference.

    Dr Tokin is exceptional as a surgeon and doctor with great bedside manner. He is very professional…read moreand caring. Takes time to listens to patients. My surgery went very well and healing is fast. Can barely see any scar at all. His staff is also very friendly.

The front staff are super friendly and the nurses & doctors are also SUPER at what they do. I believe there is also a Psychologist there. Ample parking and SAFE. Close for us people on the West side of the Island. Worth the change from the BIG VA hospital at Tripler. My doctor is so kind and compassionate that she is the, in my experience & opinion, the best the VA has to offer. Queens Medical Center, in buying this facility has done a LOT with it and there is even a coffee shop at the main entrance. Many handicap stalls and wild chickens running around to watch before your appointment. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone on the Leeward or North Shore over Wahiawa or other private hospitals. Thank you for reading this review. Mahalo nui loa my friends. ~Joey

The location was very convenient as if was just right down the road from my house. Its sad that people on the west side need to wait longer to be cared for, especially in an emergency situation where they have to travel longer to pali momi or kaiser. That much time they need to travel is that much crucial to life or death. The parking here was also good since it was an open lot and you dont have to pay for parking like the other hospitals. Hopefully someone buys this place soon because the west side is a fast growing city and it will need a main hospital.

Since it was a pre-op clearance, Mely performed an EKG with a portable device she could wheel into the examination room. Next Kylie, PA actually looked into my ears, mouth and felt my stomach which my doctor has never done. She went over my blood pressure, temperature and EKG readings and told me which meds to stop taking one week prior. She sent me down to the lab for blood and urine tests after. I was happy and impressed that both ladies were both kind, thorough and very pretty plus easy to talk to. I was told if I don't get a call, that's good news and I'm cleared for surgery.

    This was my first visit to Straub Urgent Care, Kapolei. I am so happy I chose this site. I waited…read moreabout 1 hour to be seen, among a packed room waiting for urgent care. Receptionists were patient and explained all the paperwork needed. I was screened by Mille, who was very professional and friendly. She asked about my symptoms and explained the test she would perform. I returned 40 min later as instructed for the test results. Dr. Gomez then spoke to me about my test results and my choices for medication or wait to see if I get better with the over the counter medications I was already taking. She was very kind, professional, and ensured my lungs were clear of congestion. She spoke in detail about my tests and ensured I didn't have any questions. she wrote a note for me to give to my employer as I would be out sick for 5 days. I appreciate her thinking about that as I may have forgotten to ask as I had a terrible headache. thank you to Dr Gomez, the nurse Dawn, and Mille for my care today what a wonderful team. also the waiting room was large enough so people were not in close proximity to each other. there were masks available and plenty of kleenex and hand sanitizer.

Dr Franklin Lee declined to…read moredo my procedure, and he and his staff never contacted me to say that he refused to take me on as a patient. For the longest time, I was told that he had not had time to review my case. I have no choice but to go to Pali Momi Emergency. Dr. Lee has no honor and defies his Hippocratic oath when he refuses to treat me.

    They have about 10 rotating urologists dealing with functional and anatomical issues involving the…read morekidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, testicles and penis. Noticed alot of older patients in the waiting room because we all start having urine retention problems as we age. Urologists make BANK! Take note, future MDs. As an authorized advocate on behalf of my parent, I was at some appointments with DR. JAMES NG for a BPH issue that causes urine incontinence. By the time they hit their 70s, up to 90% of males have BPH! Father was on oral meds first (2 kinds) but they weren't working. Doctor finally recommended surgery. My father tried his best to research (on his own! With his limited English and computer proficiency) all prostate surgeries currently performed and had an idea of the best ones. When he asked Dr. Ng about the different types, the doctor coldly brushed off dad's questions and did NOT educate or inform dad on his options. He simply said, "I do the TURP. I would recommend the TURP. We don't do those other ones here." The Pali Momi Urology website states "Our urologists approach each patient's care with both medical innovation and sensitivity....to achieve the best results while minimizing pain and recovery time. [Our] urologists offer a multidisciplinary, innovative approach...committed to collaborating with experts across all specialties in tailoring the most beneficial treatment..." Your urologists are NOT medically innovative and do NOT educate your patients on the most minimally invasive procedures if they're ONLY OFFERING THE TURP which is painful and does involve risk of internal bleeds!!! They are definitely NOT offering multidisciplinary practices committed to collaborating with doctors in other specialities. WHY? Because I did research on my own and asked about a minimally invasive procedure offered by interventional radiologists called a PAE. No bleeding, less recovery time, costs less than TURP procedures too. The radiology practice I chose stated they needed a referral from dad's urologist. Called Pali Momi last week for the referral, only to get a follow-up call today stating that Dr. Ng will NOT provide the referral because "he doesn't recommend it". Ofc Dr. Ng won't recommend it. Our business and our MONEY are going elsewhere! Okay, they don't do PAEs because they aren't radiology doctors. Then, I'd love to hear what other surgical procedures are offered, HoLAP, HoLEP or PVP lasers? PULs? The office is refusing to provide the referral, fine. Then I asked them to make a note on my father's file that Dr. Ng refused to provide a referral to the radiologist and does not recommend PAEs. The office will not make that note in his medical file. I have to be more involved in my family's medical care. I cannot imagine the number of kupuna who don't have involved progeny or aren't tech savvy themselves AND cannot effectively self-advocate and make informed decisions. Our healthcare system is skewed to benefit the practioners and the insurance companies while we, the patients and consumers stay ignorant. Let me end with a note: There need to be more reviews on medical practices and doctors on multiple platforms for consumers, or if you want to be more specific, patients. Medical care is a necessity and we the patients, or consumers, are very VERY poorly informed on our choices. We have barely any right of choice because there is limited information for us to make educated decisions on who to seek for health needs. I guess this will end our relationship with Dr. Ng moving forward. This is why some patients are fearful to openly criticize or critique doctors on this account - burning bridges. But we all only live one life and Quality Of Life is very important to me and to my family to have. We should always aim to seek the best treatment possible.
