Even though I told him the ozone was helping to heal the odd sensation in my jaw and I wanted that treatment he said he didn't think that's what was needed then proceeded to adjust my neck and injure me. I've had neck adjustments from excellent chiropractors and his was completely off - I knew something was wrong immediately but hoped for the best. He continued to diagnose me and prescribe all kinds of supplements and when I went to pay it was $330! I have talked to another person who had a bad experience with him as well. Before coming in to see Dr. Allen I could sleep in any position happily with no problems, for 6 weeks now I've had to sleep on my back. Sitting has also been more challenging, certain angles cause pain so I have to be careful how I hold my body when I sit, something I've never had to do before. There are certain activities I have been avoiding as well so as not to stress or strain my neck. I've been working with an excellent chiropractor and getting massage and cranio sacral therapy which has helped it heal a-lot, but it's still not 100%. He may be good at certain things, but I personally do not think he should be doing chiropractic adjustments, and most importantly I did not go to see him for adjustments! I went in for something specific that he didn't have then he decided to mess with my neck, which still hurts 6 weeks after my appointment with lots of money spent on trying to fix it. I so wish I never stepped into his office....

I agree heartily with the other Yelp reviews. Dr Lanson takes the time to sit down and figure out…read morewhat your medical needs are. He's equally invested in using laboratory tests, and medical technology, MRI, EEG, etc. He's had the medical experience at Queen's Hospital of urban Hawaii multi-ethnic and here on Kaua'i for the past decade plus. Regretfully, the one phone the clinic uses requires patience to navigate but you will be rewarded with a pleasant human being once you get through. You will not be able to leave a message and carry on with your day, but will have to persist in calling. As was said previously you will be able to see him within the week but not always that day. If your medical condition allows you to wait he's worth it!

Dr Lanson has been my Primary Care Physician for most of my adult life (with the exception of when…read moreI was on the mainland). He practices medicine with much care for his patients. Dr Lanson is still old school--in a good way! You don't find many physicians that still do hands on examinations. Some of the newer physicians I've seen in practice are very hands off. Dr Lanson's schedule is a busy one, but I feel that I am able to get an appointment with him in the same week that I call. It may not be the same day, but they try to accommodate you to the best of their ability. He sees patients in Lihue Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and half day on Friday. On Thursday, he is in their Princeville clinic, serving the residents of the north shore of Kaua'i as well as visitors that need to be seen for any unforeseen circumstance while on vacation but not needing emergency room services.

Oof! I was disappointed to see some of the negative reviews. I was particularly drawn to George M…read more To George, thank you for your transparency regarding your Opioid Use Disorder. Congratulations on learning to manage your OUD and responsibly treating your pain at the same time. This is a difficult challenge for even the strongest in recovery. My personal experience is similar with managing pain while maintaining my recovery from Alcoholism and cocaine addiction. For myself, I'm in AA and have a sponsor whom I contact daily and when I'm experiencing level 6-8 pain, I inform her what I will take, what dose and time. Full transparency. It's rare that I resort to heavy meds but when the freight train is getting out of control, it's necessary! Thank you George and good luck with pain and life management. My experience with Dr. Choi and his staff has been stellar. Only one hiccup during an exam where I was physically mishandled but I believe the clinician didn't mean to hurt me. The clinician was simply trying to assess my problem and get to the source. I was at a level 9 unmedicated for several days so maybe my tolerance for pain had gone out the window. I LOVE the front office!!! These ladies are well trained, responsive and compassionate. That last part is important especially at a pain clinic. Never once have I felt dismissed or uncared for. The back office is also exceptional. Highly skilled RN and medical assistants. I love them too. Now to the BOSSMAN Dr. Choi. What a delightful man. On top of that, he is a sniper with injections. I've had pain since 2004 and have had many other treatments for it. I was always afraid to try Epidural Steroid Injections but I was desperate and said, "please!" Best treatment ever. I wish it lasted longer but so far have received the best pain relief from that. I recently had BMAC with Dr. Choi. I'm very hopeful! During the procedure they kept me very comfortable. They were very responsive with pain relief during the procedure. All in all, they kept me laughing and entertained. How's that for success. For a day and a half post procedure the discomfort was not managed well with Tylenol but maybe my threshold for pain is less than I thought. Nonetheless, I'm two weeks out from it and though I have not seen results I know it's too soon to tell. But I'd do it again if I had to. Last thing I'll say, Dr. Choi certainly went to great lengths to compile the team he currently has. Not only do they all get along (genuinely), they love Dr. Choi. That speaks volumes. In closing, this is a fantastic office and I highly HIGHLY recommend them.

I left this practice extremely disappointed. My biggest concern was not simply that they wouldn't…read moreprovide the treatment I was hoping for, but the apparent lack of flexibility and understanding when treating a patient with opioid use disorder who was also dealing with significant acute pain. I understand that pain management involving opioids and OUD is complicated, and I completely respect the need for appropriate safeguards. What concerned me was feeling that the practice's policies were being applied in a way that didn't adequately account for the actual clinical circumstances of the patient. In my experience, the approach felt extremely limited rather than individualized. For a practice that specializes in pain management, I expected a much stronger understanding of the modern approaches to treating acute severe pain in patients receiving medication for opioid use disorder. This is where I believe the situation becomes potentially dangerous. A patient with OUD can have two legitimate medical needs at the same time: treatment for their OUD and adequate treatment for severe acute pain. Those issues shouldn't automatically be treated as mutually exclusive. I left feeling that the policies were more important than developing an appropriate, individualized pain-management plan. That's particularly concerning when dealing with patients who may already be at increased risk of returning to illicit opioids if legitimate pain isn't adequately addressed. I hope this practice seriously considers updating its approach to patients with OUD and ensuring that its clinicians are familiar with current evidence-based approaches to acute pain management in this population. One star based on my personal experience. I would encourage anyone with OUD who needs pain management to ask very specifically about how the practice handles acute severe pain while a patient is receiving MOUD before choosing this practice.

We first contacted him…read morefor our daughter, and from the very beginning he was incredibly thorough, patient, and educational. He took the time to explain her symptoms, the possible causes, and why he was recommending each medication, making sure we understood everything before starting treatment. A couple of days later, my husband developed painful bumps after snorkeling off the Nā Pali Coast. Dr. Sparks was able to diagnose it from photos as a Portuguese man o' war sting. My niece had the same reaction, and he helped her as well. Once again, he took the time to educate us about the local marine life, the toxins involved, what symptoms to watch for, and how the prescribed medications would help. I especially appreciated how thoughtful and cautious he was with the medications he prescribed. What really sets Dr. Sparks apart is that he truly cares. He reminded me of the kind of village doctor everyone hopes to find--knowledgeable, compassionate, reassuring, and willing to spend the time you need. His mobile service was incredibly convenient. Both my daughter and my husband felt noticeably better very quickly. If you're on Kauai and need medical care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sparks.
