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 a patient of Dr. Savage for over 5 years now and I can't say enough wonderful things…read moreabout him and the folks in this office! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a casual warmth coupled with the utmost professionalism. Dr. Savage himself is fantastic -- knowledgeable, funny, personable and *real.* He took the time to explain everything about my teeth and their status very clearly. And I honestly can't say enough about my hygienist, Jan. She is insanely gentle, but very thorough and even despite the many awkward physical moments during a cleaning, she manages to make me feel comfortable and at ease. The office itself is clean, organized and professional. Exactly what you'd want when walking into a dentist's office. Highly recommended!

I'd like to start off by saying that I've always despised having to go to the dentist. I absolutely…read morehated the chemical smells and stuffy rooms. So the fact that I'm here to leave a positive review for Waialae Dental Care surprises even me. Prior to an appointment: You'll get a text message or email as a reminder. Honestly, that helps me a bunch because there's been a few times where I would've completely missed an appointment without those reminders. Parking: Although there's limited stalls, even on a busy day, I've never had to circle the block to be able to park for an appointment. That tells me plenty of how efficient the staff are when scheduling clients. Front of the office staff: They're the most welcoming when it comes to customer service. They're also your biggest supporters and advocates for people who take the time to take care of themselves. All of it is done with aloha! If you're in need of a treatment plan, not only do they give you a full breakdown of what's needed along with the estimated cost but they'll also give you finance options to assist should you need it. There's never any pressure. The Dentists and their support staff: All around the staff is just amazing. No one does anything without checking in on you and your concerns. The patient rooms are somewhat small but they've done great with adding TVs and portraits to keep the mind focused on something else. At the end of the appointment: You'll get to sit with the frontline staff and they always check and see how you're feeling and provide you with next steps (as needed) or let you know how far out you should plan for a cleaning. In all, you can't go wrong with choosing Waialae Dental Care. Good parking, staff that feels more like extended family, and care that eases the mind with their attention to not only the details but also to you specifically.

There is no consistent doctor/dentist. The hygienists barely touch your teeth. You never get the…read moresame staff once because its just a corporate company. There is no continuity of care and they will tell you you have a cavity or a crown that needs repair. Instead of providing alternative options like a good dentist (like using dental bonding or sealant for temporary sensitivity) they will just want to rip out your teeth and profit as much. Dentists here are incentivized to do more costly procedures at patient's expense.  I thought it was fine just going here for cleanings d/t convenience but it's not worth it. They will charge for the exam and xrays and when you need to go to a REAL dentist, insurance wont cover. So don't even start here. Go to a private family practice that actually cares about patients. You're not treated as a person here. My dog is treated better at the vet.

Having experienced several dentistry offices on and off the island, I'd say Dental Day Spa (Dr Nip) is the most meticulous, transparent, and friendly office. The office is clean. Dr. Nip and his staff are very competent and professional. For new patients, they require a consultation and X-ray before making a tooth cleaning appointment. For any special procedures ie. Root canal, they refer you to other specialists. There's parking available in the structure with validation available. They are off on weekends and Wednesdays.

Joannie is usually the one to greet me and check me out. She is also extremely personable and kind. Can't say enough great things about this office. They are really all about preventative health.

Having been a customer for nearly a decade, this place has really gone down hill. I will not be…read morereturning. During my most recent "visit", no one showed up to begin the dental cleaning 40 minutes after my appointment time. I ended up leaving without having my teeth cleaned, and the office still billed me. I reminded the office that no service was provided, and have yet to receive a response despite providing ample response time. While waiting in the dental chair on my most recent visit, I noticed how filthy the place was with a variety of hairs covering the equipment and bugs all over the floors in the same room procedures are performed. It appeared as if the place hadn't been cleaned for weeks, which is acceptable for a Jiffy Lube but not ideal for dental hygiene. The place has historically had excessively high employee turn over, and I've only received service by the same technicians/dentists a very small handful of times in the past decade making it challenging to receive consistent cleaning results. They always ask the same questions regarding your teeth pain, sensitivity, etc, but after repeating the same issues each time nothing is done to address such issues. They perform x rays every other visit despite myself having no history of cavities, gum disease, etc. which seems excessive. I am learning that x rays can be done every 2 to 3 years for healthy teeth. I'm assuming the frequent x rays have billing benefits at the expense of radiation exposure.
