My three children all look forward to their visits (I've never been able to say that before). The experience is so different from any other office we've visited; every visit is peaceful and the rapport Dr. Uchida establishes with all his little patients is a delight to watch. One of my sons is autistic and has always dreaded going to the dentist before but he doesn't mind his visits here in the least because Dr. Uchida is so gentle and it's much easier for my son to relax when he can't hear other children fussing or tools making loud noises in other rooms. Very thankful to have found this wonderful office!

I have been taking my sons to Dr. Clyde Uchida and his daughters' pediatric dental clinic since…read morethey were very young, and now at 14 and 10, we are still so grateful for the care they receive. From the very beginning, they have created a warm, welcoming environment that makes my kids feel comfortable and at ease. My older son is on the spectrum, and it means so much to us that he feels safe and very comfortable going to his appointments. The team is patient, gentle, and always takes the time to explain things in a way my boys understand, which has made a big difference in how they feel about going to the dentist. What I appreciate most is the genuine care they show for each patient. They take the time to get to know our family and always make us feel valued. It's clear they truly care about the children they treat and their overall experience. I feel very fortunate to have found a dental office we trust, and I would highly recommend them to any family looking for kind, reliable pediatric dental care.

You won't regret it. My child has been with Dr. Hirai since she was about 4 years old. I found out about them having a the worst experience with the pediatric dentist that was with the Aiea Family Dental care. They only had one pediatric dentist at the time which made it difficult to get an appointment even when I informed them that my child was in so much pain. When I first found out about Dr. Hirai, my insurance wouldn't allow me to seek outside care since he wasn't part of the Aiea Family Dental. Mrs. Hirai helped us by not only accepting us as new clients but also gave us discount since I was willing to pay out of pocket to treat my child. Today, we loved hearing that we can stay with Dr. Hirai while my child is a student :) Dr. Allen Hirai has the experience, knowledge and a friendly personality that makes my child happy. That's what matters to me! He knows how to make my child happy, calm and learn about healthy habits. The staffs ate all super nice and friendly too! We love Lei, Malia and the two ladies in the reception desk.

I have nothing but good things to say about Children's Dental Associates. I was looking for a…read moredentist for my daughter who just turned 1 and of course you want their first experience to be a good one. Thankfully my mom's dentist told her about them so I immediately made an appointment. It was super easy to get an appointment. I requested for Dr. Chau just because she's a female and thought maybe my daughter would be more comfortable with a female dentist (also she has the same last name as me haha). The dental office is located in the building that has the Easy Music Center. It's free validated parking. The office itself is nice, clean and has a little play area with toys and books which my daughter loves. I had no idea what to expect as my daughter is only 1 and didn't know what they were going to do but Dr. Chau made us feel very comfortable! She let my daughter sit on my lap while she brushed her teeth. Of course there was some crying but my daughter did great and was totally fine after she was done. Dr. Chau addressed a concern I had about my daughter's front tooth and made me feel at ease as I was a little stressed about it. She is very thorough in explaining everything which I like as a first time mom. We've had to come a couple more times due to my daughter's front tooth and yes there's always a bit of crying, but she is totally fine once it's over lol. And she gets to pick a sticker and a toy in the little machine. love that Dr. Chau and the staff are so welcoming and nice. They definitely are good with children and have so much patience! I'm sure they hear crying all the time lol. I am so glad I found a good dentist and that my daughter's first experience wasn't a bad one. Highly recommend them!

YUP- cavity was festering soooo many years under a filling. Dr. Uchida just covered up the cavity instead of doing the right thing and properly cleaning it. YIKES!!!

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.
