In consultation with Dr. Shaik, who sincerely listened to my concerns, we decided this was the very best option. I was shocked that he did it quite quickly, with very little pain (just the numbing shots). Dr. Shaik and Aunty Lei made the whole experience pleasant, if I can say? I don't usually expect that to be said of any dental visit, much less a root canal! Aunty Lei even wrapped me nicely in a blanket because I got cold. And now one day later, I have not experienced any post pain or swelling. Great job and I highly recommend them. OOPS!! I just noticed, this is for their Kailua office. I will copy and paste to the Honolulu office review, too.

If you're apprehensive or anxious about getting a root canal, you want to see her and the team at Hoshino Endodontics. She was very detailed with what she was going to do and what to expect. Her numbing technique and application was literally painless and I was impressed how she was able to pinpoint only the tooth she worked on. I did not feel my face go numb. What amazed me more was after the procedure, I was pain free. I even forgot I had a root canal. I highly recommend them!

I was actually there because another dentist only did half of a root canal because he didn't have time to finish. We'll that left me in excruciating pain. Thank you to Dr. Hoshino who took me in on an emergency. Did the full root canal, got me out of pain and went above and beyond to fix some other teeth. Dr. Hoshino is a definite 10 outta 10. I'm so thankful. I can't forget about his assistant Brenda. Absolute sweetheart. She to was pleasant,,professional and gracious. Thank you to everyone at Hoshino Endodontics.

So much so when I needed the second, I was willing to wait weeks til something opened up. It was a good experience (if you can call it that) from start to finish. It's located in the MacDonald's building on Beretania. Dr. Joe explained what he was doing every step of the way and made sure I was numbed up and comfortable. He even told me what to expect with the local anesthetic. And the procedure chair is memory foam! Most comfortable dental chair I've sat in :) Root canal done in 1 1/2 hour- totally painless.

Then I was blessed to experience Dr. Ho's special technique, in which he uses a special angle or ideal pressure or magic to deliver the injection so that it almost feels pleasant. That coupled with the time Dr. Ho's Office Manager, Char, pointed out how timing certain dental procedures to coincide with insurance coverage renewal would save me over a thousand dollars, made me feel so lucky to have been accepted as a patient. And when considering the unbelievable courtesy and warm professionalism of the rest of his staff, I'm sorry for being reluctant to write an honest review until now. Just being selfish.

He's not about squeezing in every human body into a can of sardines, instead he will screen you first, see what you need, and if he connects with your chi... If you're lucky enough to be a patient of Dr. Ueda you'll find a man who speaks softly, but has lived three lifetimes. I find it refreshing to have a dentist that shares my stories of travels around the world and life itself. If you knew about Dr. Ueda's journey and how he's here you'd probably admire him three-fold. He's a survivor, like I am, but it's best to live and not dwell. 10-stars for talk on Lady Sumo to Om living. I'm currently in America to take care of all my medical and dental needs and why not polish my grill before I fly back to Japan on my continued travels. Dr. Ueda is located in the Public Radio building (2nd floor) just across of Don Quijote on Kaheka in Honolulu. Parking is free in his private stalls "Dr. Ueda Parking" just up the ramp. Entering the building you'll probably notice a vending machine and a hallway that reminds one of Intermediate school bungalows. Narrow and eerie lol. Just follow the signs to his office and before entering you'll see an original Yoshitoshi Mori (森 義利) framed woodblock print. As a historian and art major I noticed the bold artwork. Upon entering you'll probably be greeted by Dr. Ueda himself. As of this writing he has no receptionist or employees. Dr. Ueda does it all. Rest assured if you have insurance he'll explain everything before you sign off. And if you're curious Dr. speaks English and fluent in Japanese and French! I came in for X-rays, general cleaning, and polishing! Long overdue as my last "teeth maintenance" was at UCSF in San Francisco early in 2022. The good news is that my grill is structurally sound... so yes, I can mogu mogu and enjoy all the good foods that life has to offer - just avoid too much sugar and brush or rinse after all meals! It's nice to be reminded by a respected dentist how it's important to flush out what goes in! As I shake my head in agreement like Eric the kid! :D It's rare to find a dentist that will explain everything he's doing and not be in such a rush with "next!" You get that Dr. Ueda truly cares about your well being. I truly enjoyed chatting, or as locals say "talking story", with a man of the world. We even watched an episode of Lady Sumo on NHK-TV and discussed it lol. You just don't have dental encounters like this anymore... a positive experience that left me smiling 'til next time!

What started as a routine…read morecleaning turned into being told I needed two root canals after mentioning that one tooth hurt slightly when flossing. I take very good care of my teeth, so I was shocked by the diagnosis and price it would be. I spoke with a friend later that day, who suggested I get a second opinion from an endodontist before moving forward with such invasive and expensive dental work. I was able to schedule an appointment with Island Endodontics fairly quickly, and I'm so glad I did. The office was easy to find, had convenient parking, and was located in a beautiful building. Everything was extremely clean, modern, and equipped with what appeared to be the latest technology, not what I was used to seeing at my previous dentist's office! The staff was welcoming, friendly, and professional from the moment I arrived. Dr. Noz took the time to listen to my recent experience, reviewed my X-rays, and examined my teeth. He discovered that the tooth I was concerned about actually had a crack from an old filling. He even mentioned that recommending a root canal after just one test seemed like a significant jump for this particular issue. Although he doesn't typically perform fillings, he was kind enough to help me with this one and also provided referrals to other dentists he trusts. Within a few weeks, the filling was repaired, and I can happily say that it completely resolved the discomfort I was experiencing. Dr. Noz was honest, thorough, and genuinely cared about finding the correct solution rather than recommending unnecessary treatment. That's exactly the kind of integrity you hope to find in a medical professional. I hope I never need to see an endodontist again, but if I do, I will absolutely return to Dr. Noz and his outstanding team at Island Endodontics. Mahalo for everything!!!
