She seemed irritated that I told her I couldn't hear her the first time.

I quickly and easily was able to book online, and the confirmation you receive was extremely helpful and detailed in showing you where to go, parking, and all details of your appointment. Great touch! Check in was simple and easy. The office is beautiful and extremely clean with a 180 degree view of Waikiki/Diamond Head. Dr. Gill was extremely sweet, very helpful, and 100% transparent about her consultation advice and recommended treatments. She was able to clear my skin issue immediately and prescribed me with a regimen to clear my acne which has worked wonderfully! As for payment, the consult is $150 no matter what. However, Dr. Gill and her husband, Shad (who's the receptionist), assist you in creating a form to send to your insurance for reimbursement, and it was a breeze for me. Got my reimbursement check within a week! I've been to 4 dermatologists in my life and Dr. Gill is definitely #1 for me! Highly recommend!

Since skin tags recur in a frustrating manner, I will have to return every year or so, but now I will know where to go. Thank you, Dr. Gill

Before he left the room, he didn't give me anything to cover my bleeding wound. I even had to ask him if "I could please get a bandaid?" The whole process was rushed and unprofessional.

Parking is in the lot (and free for the most part). Harold (front desk) is so friendly and on top of it. My first visit for myself, I hardly waited.

Normally, I walk out of appointments when I have to waste time like that, but we waited for my keiki's sake. Appointment went well and all our questions were answered. I am hoping the late appointment was a one off thing, but I'll return to give it another shot. Yelp 2025 Challenge: 10/30

Dr. Chong handled the situation professionally and agreed to dismiss the charge, acknowledging that her staff had not clearly communicated the insurance details in advance. I appreciate that the issue was resolved, but I do hope the office improves communication regarding coverage and fees to avoid surprises for future patients

The injections were quick and comfortable, and I felt at ease throughout the entire appointment. Before I saw Dr. Yew I suffered with severe jaw pain, migraines, light sensitivity, and ringing in my ears. Within a short time of receiving botox, I noticed a significant reduction in my jaw pain and most importantly it made all my tension headaches go away. The light sensitivity and ringing in my ears also went away. As a busy working mom I was so thankful to have had so much relief and improvement in my quality of life. I have seen Dr. Yew several times over the past year and I highly recommend him to all my patients, friends, and family!

He explained to me what he believes would help, and gave me great recommendations of how to help relieve the headache tension. He was very detailed and answered every question i had. Nurse Jen also did an amazing job at assisting Dr Yew as well. I was honestly nervous getting lip filler for the first time but Dr Yew and Nurse Jen made the whole process so comfortable for me. I really love how Dr Yew starts off with the sound bowl before the injection process as it really helped me calm down a bit. The whole process was smooth and I left feeling very satisfied!
