Can't believe they charge me over $240 for a ten-minute taking, plus a basic X ray of my tooth. There is no treatment at all. Just a brief chat! My case is not complicated just a toothache which everybody may encounter. How easy the dentist earn their money! read more

Recommended for root canal. I was referred by Landmark Dental. I was there 1-hour total. New patient paperwork and the numbing shots (like alway- the worst part). The procedure was painless, thank god. I was super nervous. If you are nervous like me, ask your questions before he starts like I did. Then, just relax and let him do his thing. Dr. Chun knows what he is doing. read more

He's quick and straight to the point. Little greeting and explanation as to what's going to take place and gets right to work. I had two separate procedures with doc. and funny I don't know what he even looks like. He gets the job done though. read more

Was referred here from Punahou Dentistry for two root canals. Office staff is great, they had me fill out the usual first time patient form and I was seen immediately after completing the form. Doc did not give very much of a summary or anything on what to expect, that would've calmed my nerves a lot more if he did. He went right in and gave me the numbing agent without ANY warning whatsoever and that sucked. Just started poking me right off the bat. He was pretty rough as well. Definitely could've given me a much better experience if he was more communicative with me throughout the whole procedure. read more

Came here for the first time as a referral from my new dentist from the Uehara Family Cosmetic Dentistry. I needed a root canal done by a specialist so I was referred to Dr. Kimo Chun. While I was waiting around until they confirmed an appointment for me, I was chilling in my car and decided to YELP this place. I couldn't believe how many overall bad reviews there were to the point where I was kind of scared that I would have the bad experiences that I've read from the reviews. As soon as I was seen, I signed a root canal waiver and thought to myself at that moment, "so this is how I'm gonna die?" Buuuut fortunately, I've had an awesome experience with Dr. Chun. He was very communicative and walked me step by step what he was about to do to me and to let him know when I was in pain. I don't know if it was because my face was already partially numb from my previous appointment on top of getting numb again from this one, but I thought overall, the procedure was pleasant and quick. My Federal insurance was awesome so I didn't even have to pay anything. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Chun based on my experience with him today. Located in the Ala Moana Building (building in front of the Ala Moana Shopping Center with the top that looks like a UFO) on the 14th floor, Suite#1416. Lots of parking in the building or park in the Ala Moana Center parking structure on the 2nd floor where it connects to the Ala Moana Building. The staff are quick and friendly. read more

Kimo Chun, DDS - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Root Canals suck okole. No two ways about that. However if you gotta get one done then Mr. Chun does a good job. I was referred here by Ala Moana Dentistry. Dr. Watanabe is my normal dentist but does not do root canals. I did jump on Yelp to see who I was getting referred to. Some of these reviews were kinda scary. I almost cancelled and/or ask for a re-referral. I love Dr. Watanabe and her staff so I though there was no way she would refer me to someone bad. Therefore, I decided to give it a go. I had zero issues from start to finish. Went in and was greeted by a very nice receptionist who explained the charges, what inusrance would cover and my cost. I paid my portion up front and then on to the chair. I really hate that chair. Again, root canals SUCK. Dr. Chun explained the procedure and ask if I had any questions. He and his assistant numbed me up...pre numb and then THE shot(s). Had the procedure done about as quickly and efficiently as possible. I don't want to go again but would if I needed another root canal.... Boom my bad luck and I need another root canal so I am scheduled to sit in THE chair again here in a few weeks. I am not sure what a few other yeplers here experienced and why their journey was bad but I have nothing bad to say. Maybe it is like the tow truck driver. They only get bad reviews because getting towed sucks. Maybe Dr. Chun had bad reviews because root canals suck. Wait a month, get the crown and let the pain go away before giving the person who does your root canal a bad review. read more

Came here for a root canal the day before my trip. It was a pretty good experience considering I am deathly afraid of dentists. When I felt pain he stopped and added more Novocain which ended up numbing me up very well. The procedure was fast and I left feeling fine. read more

Kimo Chun, DDS - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I went to Kimo's website and filled out forms prior to my appointment. Receptionist was very friendly and in five minutes I was in and waiting in the seat for Dr. Kimo Chun. He asked questions to figure out what was needed for my situation. After a few x-rays, seeing which tooth was sensitive to cold and tapping different areas of each tooth a root canal was needed. He numbed the area near the tooth to be worked on and waited a few minutes to be sure I was numb. A rubber piece was used to keep my jaw open and a rubber dam to isolate the tooth being worked on. It's awesome because the small particles don't have to get sucked up in the back of your throat. Dr. Kimo did his magic and always checked to see if I was doing okay. Sooner than I noticed and the root canal was finished. Good job Dr. Chun! I would highly recommend him if you ever need a root canal!!! read more

I don't wish root canal on any body but If you do need one go see Dr. Chun In his very nice office you will be taken cared with great care Thank you very much Dr. Chun. read more

Now 2019 I went to another referral root canal dentist Gary Yonemoto at Aiea. We found out Kimo Chun root canal job fail, so I had to pay around $1,600 for each tooth for retreatment. It's been only two weeks, but dentist Gary Yonemoto dental job is extremely well done compare to Kimo Chun. I extremely recommend anybody everybody to spend their valuable money where belong. Gary Yonemoto explains all his procedure, and he even has 6 month follow up X ray for free to make sure job is we done!!! Not like Kimo Chun. Fabulous root canal job done with Gary Yonemoto!!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Kimo Chun from my dentist to get a root canal done. I was very anxious since I had a bad experience from another doctor a year ago but my experience with Dr. Chun was an awesome one. First of all, scheduling was very easy. I was able to get in right away. When I arrived I filled out some paper work and didn't have to wait. The receptionist was very friendly and most important the procedure was painless and quick! I felt at ease and comfortable with Dr. Chun and would highly recommend him. He is very easy to communicate with. He is professional and is well known in the industry as he has been in practice for many years. If you need to see an Endodontist and want the best, then you will want to go to Dr. Kimo Chun. read more

Just had a root canal and I'll say this, if I need another I'll be back to see Dr Kimo Chun. He was great - painless.

Two words. Mother F@#ker. I just left his office after my first root canal. It was a very painful process and this dentist has Absolutely ZERO bedside manner, He started the procedure before I was numb and then wondered why I couldn't be still. Seriously? Never once asked me how I was doing or explained what to expect along the way. Awful experience. read more

I just had root canal retreated by Dr. Chun. Since I have my " great " personal dentist for many years. ( Dr. Derek J. Sakamaki ***** ), I was little skeptical to go elsewhere. Who wants to have root canal retreated after 7 years, right? When I made the first call, receptionist was very pleasant! Making sure to schedule me ASAP! Only waited 2 days after my Dentist discovery. Today first thing in the morning I arrived to Dr's Chun office. First impression: I was greeted by a very nice lady in the front desk. She was genuine, friendly, and very helpful, explaining my Dental Insurance co pay. In just few minutes, I was called by Dr's Chun assistant. ( also very friendly, genuine person ) Both ladies greeted me with genuine smile! I was pretty nervous before my arrival. In just few seconds, Dr. Chun came to my Dental chair and explained every details of my procedure, which I very much appreciate it! Dr. Chun and his assistant were making sure, I am comfortable! The whole procedure, which took about an hour was 100% pain free!!! I definitely recommend Dr. Chun for anyone having a fear to see a Dentist! Beautiful and comfortable office with a nice view. Super professional staff with a great leader " Dr. Chun! Thank you so much for genuine and professional care you provided to me! Mahalo&Aloha, Faris G. read more

Dr. Chun is great! I was in excruciating pain and in need of a root canal due to a fractured tooth. Tia at the front desk was able to fit me in the same day for the procedure to be done in the afternoon. I'm a wimp about pain, but Dr. Chun was able to do the root canal w/o too much discomfort during and after the procedure. Although I have dental check ups every 6 months, the fractured tooth continued to give me problems, but Dr. Chun had offered to follow up on the tooth after the root canal w/o additional charge. He is very sincere in wanting to help his patients. read more

Wondered if he was angry about something or had another patient waiting that was making him rush through my root canal. Was rough injecting painkiller and drilling. Did not give me enough anesthetic or didn't wait long enough for it to take. At one point tears rolled down the side of my face as he drilled. Good: The procedure worked and I didn't have the billing problems mentioned by others here. read more

UNPROFESSIONAL. Bad bedside manners. Yells at patients when things do not go right. Root canal also did not work and I'm left in pain and over a thousand dollars down the drain. This guy has serious anger issues and needs to get professional help. If he hates his job so much then perhaps he should try a different profession. read more

I am very upset that Dr. charges me his uncompleted job. I had root canal service on last year November and he was not able to complete and charge me over $150 at front. Few months later, he billed me another $275 for his incomplete job. I called office and per Tia, this is their procedure. Is it common that charge to guest for uncompleted job? read more

Amazing experience, precise, caring, effective and efficient. He knows teeth, found the issue resolved it. No hesitation, hands don't shake, takes extra steps to ensure the job is done perfect. I didn't feel nervous at all. His staff is kind and works hard and listens well, they are an effective team. Doctor supports a learning environment and educates his patients. read more

I was on vacation and went to a dentist down the hall due to swelling and a toothache. The dentist that saw me said I needed a root canal and referred me to Dr Chun. They said the procedure would take about 45 minutes, mine took 20. The results ended up ok, so far, my complaint is how he numbed the area. I've had work on my teeth before and usually they do a series of small shots along the gums where they are going to work. Dr Chun did 1 shot in the roof of my mouth and only 1 on the outside. When he injected all that in 1 spot, it felt like he was injecting bees into my gums. It was one of the worst pains I ever felt. And I could feel not only pressure, but a dull pain during the root canal. Afterwards, my gums where I had the work felt like they were in a vice for the next 6 hours. I have a follow up with my dentist in a couple days. If you only care about results, then give him a try..., but if you don't mind them taking a little time to make sure you are somewhat comfortable during this procedure, I'd go somewhere else. read more
