Dr Thomas and staff quickly helped me understand the cause of my toothache and got me scheduled for a wisdom tooth extraction right away. Every staff member I met was friendly, kind, and full of good energy--especially comforting during the surgery when I felt some apprehension. The follow-up visit was just as thoughtful and easy. On top of that, the procedure was more affordable than quotes I'd received on the mainland, and they didn't tack on any crazy emergency fees. Honestly, I love this team so much I wish I lived on the island just to have all my dental care here.

After dealing with a toothache for over a month, I decided it was time to take the plunge. After finding out which dentists took my insurance and reading dozens of reviews, I decided to go with Hawaii Family Dental. I can now say I definitely made the right decision ! I was honest with them from the start about my experiences and my fears, and not once did I feel belittled or looked down on for my fears..it was the opposite. I was handled with care and gently. As a grown man I should be embarrassed by this irrational fear, but I am not, I fully embrace the problem I have with the dentist! They took their time, explained everything in detail and made sure I knew what to expect every step of the way. I work in the healthcare field, so I have a preconceived notion of what a positive patient experience should entail, I can say this clinic exceeded my expectations. Rusty, Rowena and Chastity in the front are professional, always smiling, and make sure I know exactly what is happening with my appointments, my insurance coverage and co-pays; their smiles and greeting set the tone for the entire office. Dr Thomas is great, during the exam and with the work I've had so far, he has been professional and patient, he checks in with me often and makes me feel like he actually cares about me while in his chair. His assistant, Emily, is just as great. She checked in just as often and got me talking about life in general, great at distracting me while she was doing what she had to do. I had to have a deep cleaning ( of course I did, ugh ), and my hygienist, Christy, was great from the moment I sat in her chair, nervous as hell !! She could tell and made me forget about what was happening in no time! Can't say Thank You enough to the crew at Hawaii Family Dental - Kihei for making it such a positive experience ! You've got a new regular patient here !

The anchor tooth, was bad and should have not been used, and filled or pulled before hand. The whole bridge and a new front tooth crown had to be redone within 2 months. They redid it and had to use the new.,crowned tooth as the anchor tooth. Then they told me insurance would not pay for it. However, the insurance company said they did, and gave me the billing info. They said the bridge was not done correctly. Then their billing office charged me for a whole new bridge, front teeth, and would not talk to the insuran,e company, or give them their dental notes. I had to file a comp!ain't with the state and that's hard. Dr.Hello would not correct it and just said she does t do the billing. the same time she did a partial that another dentist looked at and said it was terrible partial. The insurance doesn't pay for things twice Hawaii Family Dental keeps trying g to make MT pay for the bridge at$3100. The amount kept changing, and the partial was paid for at $900. Only they can redo it. The billing office said the insurance co. doesn't pay for porcelin bridges, but they do,and it's in their coverage I was sent. Now Hawaii Family Dental will not get back to an advocate or send them their billing details. Now one of the teeth under the porcelin bridge has decayed under and through the bridge acter only 14 months. Another dentist said it was not sealed correctly and go back to them, but Dr. Mello won't guarantee her work. This is serious since I need hip surgery and I need a dental c!earance for surgery and can't get one because of the infection under the bridge. I am worried about my hea!th and life, as dental work can affect the rest of the body. Don't go to this corp. dentist. I've been on Maui for 26 years, and now I have to fight this some how. I looked at the state website and they have 7 complaints in 3 years. ​

Dr Alex shared that Maui Braces operates with community and is a family oriented business. Dr Alex was contrite, he stated that " we dropped the ball and we have to make it right," Dr. Alex spoke very highly of his staff's professionalism, character, moral and ethical responsibility which spoke volumes to me. He allowed me to share my thoughts, feelings and the emotional difficulties I experienced during my visit., Not minimizing anything I shared with him. Dr Alex requested that I return to the office in which I will be fitted with another retainer and refunded the cost of the services. I agreed to return. I was able to share with Dr. Alex that I worked in the Health Care Profession for 25 years dealing with people from all walks of life and cultures, it was very helpful important that our agency required employees mandatory cultural competency courses, this opened the door for educational understanding regarding all cultures which enables individuals to work more effectively with diverse groups by fostering mutual respect, reducing miscommunication, and bias. It was a very powerful tool for me as a health care professional and I had a better understanding in dealing with all cultures. I was grateful that Dr. Alex was opened minded and allowed me share openly. He listened and that speaks volumes to his character and I appreciate that. I truly want to be fair in regards to moving forward in everyway, so when I return to get my new retainer I will not accept the return of payment, I just want a well fitting retainer.
