I was expecting my second child and were very unhappy with our pediatrician at the time. We were…read morereferred to CMA by my sister, whose kids had been going to Dr. Yano for years and she always spoke very well of the practice. At the time, the only doctor available was Dr. Morita, who we loved instantly. It's been 7 years and she has been so wonderful with our children, very patient, and she relates well to the little ones. Our oldest is autistic and struggles with going to the doctor but she's always so easy-going with him, is super flexible with his comfort levels, is always on top of where he is at with his autism services, and offers advice and referrals whenever needed. Our little one (4) loves going to see "Dr. Dorita" and when we drive by the building, he shouts "my doctor's office". Dr. Morita's assistant, Daniel, has also been amazing, he's always so good with the kids and very patient and calm when my son freaks out about shots. He's usually there as soon as we walk in and will just wave us into the room. We have never had to wait more than a minute or two, which is a relief when you have three kids who won't sit still. I haven't really had to deal with the front desk staff, usually we just talk to Daniel or Dr. Morita, so I can't speak much to that area of the practice. We also really like that there is always a doctor available if Dr. Morita is out. The other two doctor's we've seen there have been really nice and equally as patient with our kiddos. We're moving out of state and are going to miss Dr. Morita and Daniel very much! We highly recommend you take your kiddos here, they've been so wonderful to our family!

The pediatricians that take care of my kids are very knowledgable and caring. At first they saw Dr. Paul Chan. He was excellent talking to children and parents, and suggested certain shots for them to take and gave sound advice. Unfortunately, he retired and now my son goes to Dr. Ryan Chung. He is also very nice and will explain thoroughly if we have any questions. Although appointments are always scheduled far in advance, they will fit us in when they can if my kids are sick, and I am reminded by email or text for appts scheduled far in advance. The front desk is always on it and if I have a question, the assistant or doctor will call within a day, usually after or close to closing. If their primary dr is off, there are 2 others that cover so I don't have to wait or find another doctor. They have a 2 story play area for little kids, and a hand sanitizer in the waiting room as well. Paid parking is in the building, but I always shop at pearlridge so I park at the pearlridge parking lot instead.

She made me less nervous about my toddler's behavior and explain that some of her behaviors are normal. With my infant, we had issues with eating and although I didn't push to see a specialist she made a referral right away. Her staff is also caring. Whether they are in the room taking vitals or if I am just passing through the hallway to get parking validation - they are always always so kind to my children. Dr. Waipa is caring, practical, and also truthful when it comes to any matters concerning my children. I appreciate how she communicates her honestly with integrity and care. We've been to two pediatricians prior to Dr. Waipa and we are not just "another family to be seen" but I feel we are truly cared for!

No runaround, no stress, just excellent care. They also took care of his ears while we were there, and the whole process was quick, gentle, and stress-free. This is the kind of pediatric team you feel lucky to have. We always leave feeling heard, cared for, and confident that our son is in great hands. Highly recommend. Mahalo

Exceptional Pediatric Care…read more Having moved to the west side from the east, it was a bit tough looking for a good pediatrician in the Kapolei area. I decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lee Horita, and it was such a great experience. The office staff was amazing, responsive, friendly, and professional. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with aloha and were seen quickly. Dr. Lee was thorough in checking my daughter for a cough, and I was amazed by her attentiveness and care. In addition, I asked her about also taking my younger two children as new patients. My youngest was recently diagnosed with autism, and I was pleased with Dr. Lee's knowledge and transparency on the subject. I highly recommend this doctor's office.

When I was pregnant in my 3rd trimester, I started asking around for pediatrician recommendations…read moreand had 2 different moms recommend Dr. Young. It was very easy for me to set up a phone interview with Dr. Young and he hooked me from that very first call. He was very friendly, answered all my questions, gave me a bunch of information of what to expect for my newborn and the first year, and made me feel so welcomed and cared for that I decided to select him as my son's doctor. If you give birth at Kapiolani, Dr. Young will come see your newborn and make his assessments which I was a fan of (I believe he does not make any rotations at Queens, but be sure to ask). It was assuring to have him check on my baby those first couple days of his life to ensure he was healthy and able to leave the hospital and head home. My son is now 2.5 months old and we have been to Dr. Young's office a few times for his routine check-ups. I love that the office policy is to schedule newborn babies for the office opening hours (around 8am) to ensure that babies are not mixed in with older children, who are most likely sick. In addition, I have never waited long to be seen. I have had 8am, 8:30, and 8:45 appts and each time, we were swiftly brought in, I think the longest I've ever waited has been 2 minutes. I would definitely recommend Dr. Young for anyone looking for a pediatrician in or near Aiea. Only downside I can think of right now is his office does not validate parking so it'll cost you a couple dollars to park each time.

But hey, who does? If he does need 2 shots, it's soo fast! It seems like the nurse only gives him 1 shot, and I should know because I do not like when gets shots! The nurses are always friendly, and welcome us when we arrive. Recently, I dislocated my son's elbow (nurses elbow, waah!) and Dr. met me on a early Sunday morning.

He goes out of his way to make my son feel comfortable, which is not something we experience often in medical settings. He jokes with him, builds rapport, and treats him with genuine respect. As a parent, it is incredibly reassuring to have a pediatrician who not only understands complex medical care but also truly sees my child as a person.
