Think Before You Opt-In To Send/Receive Confidential Info Via Klara…read more This review only applies to the Klara messaging web app used by the Fertility Institute of Hawaii / ARMG. As of May 2026, Klara is active on the FIH website (www dot ivfcenterhawaii dot com). If you call the main phone number, you will be directed to receive a text message which is a link to Klara. Or a patient might start using Klara directly on the FIH website. Either way, once a patient opts-in to the Klara service, you basically lose control of any information that goes through Klara. Klara is easy and convenient to use. Most people will not realize they are powerless unless later they want to delete Klara messages that contain confidential information. People may also become aware of the risk of data breach from cyber attack on Klara servers or hacked individual accounts. The Klara security measures for patient accounts are paper thin. The only barrier to accessing messages in a Klara account is a patient's date of birth and phone number to receive a one time code. The Klara platform is a data breach waiting to happen unless the Klara company implements stronger security measures. What can people do to avoid this trap? Make every effort not to use Klara in the first place. Use phone calls, fax, paper mail, and email. If someone already used Klara and wants to delete messages with confidential information, you have to contact FIH/ARMG. There was a former FIH/ARMG manager named Robyn whose email address is listed in numerous replies to Yelp reviews during previous years. To the best of current knowledge, Robyn is not at FIH/ARMG anymore. When contacting FIH/ARMG, ask for the general manager, business manager, office supervisor, or similar title. Then request for FIH/ARMG to permanently delete your Klara messages or better yet delete your Klara account entirely. How about an alternative to Klara messaging? FIH/ARMG also uses another portal through the eclinicalweb domain (mycw30 dot eclinicalweb dot com slash portal13083). Eclinicalweb appears to be a complete electronic medical record system; however, FIH/ARMG may only use it for billing purposes at the time of writing this review. The eclinicalweb portal allows patients to make strong passwords and enable 2-factor authentication for logging in. The eclinicalweb portal has the all the functions you would expect from a modern online medical portal. Based on intuition, the eclinicalweb portal has stronger account security than the Klara web application. How can people encourage FIH/ARMG to change to a more secure platform than Klara? Vote with your words, actions, and money. If FIH/ARMG will only agree to communicate with you via Klara, then decline and take your business somewhere else.

I want to start by saying we were one of the lucky ones who did indeed get pregnant! We couldn't…read morehave done it without the amazing technology and lab that FIH provides! They have great communication via their Klara app as well as IVF coordinators who truly are a godsend. Shout out to Chelsea! HOWEVER, I would not recommend seeing Dr John Frattarelli if you are looking for a personable and informative experience. Working with him, I constantly felt like he had better places to be and never took the time to really explain what each step entailed. He had a slideshow to watch on your own time, but I often felt like I was an inconvenience when I did have questions about IVF. In fact, prior to starting IVF he didn't show up to my appointment in which I insisted to see him to go over questions and details. When he finally showed up he walked in and asked "so what questions do you have?" As if I had inconvenienced his busy day. This is my first time doing IVF, I don't know the questions I should be asking. I had a whole lot of concerns but if he took the time to TALK to his patients prior to starting one of the biggest medical events of my life, then we wouldn't be quite so anxious. It's as if he forgot this is brand new to us since it's an everyday job for him. I walked out in tears. Dr John kept telling me I was a priority, but every visit I would come to he was either at a work conference or seeing another patient who was more 'high risk' than me. Even on the day of my transfer- he wasn't Available. Even on the day they requested I fly back to Oahu to specifically see Dr John, he was off island. It just never made sense. In this field, there are so many emotions and questions that you feel. For me, I wanted a doctor who gave me peace of mind, confidence and compassion. He lacks all of these. It often felt like 'profit over patient' was his priority rather than patient care which was disappointing. Midway through my IVF cycle, I changed doctors to see Dr Goulet who was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, caring and guess what? She always showed up! Thank you to the team for helping us reach our goals of parenthood!

Find yourself a doctor that you're excited to go see and that you fully believe wants to see you…read moresucceed. For us, that's Dr. Chun. From the first phone call with Lorene, meeting with Lorene, and consult with Dr. Chun, we knew Dr. Chun and IVF Hawaii would be the one that we would choose to guide us through our IVF journey. We had gone through one unsuccessful cycle at IVF Hawaii that resulted in a miscarriage. After that try, we were taken aback to hear two simple words from both Dr. Chun and Lorene, "I'm Sorry". Two simple words that meant so much to us, knowing they tried everything, and I did get pregnant, but miscarried. After that try, Dr. Chun tested the embryo and found out it was due to an anomaly. With that proactive approach, he made changes to the next cycle. We ended up undergoing another few cycles with another miscarriage and finally a successful pregnancy. Throughout the whole time, Dr. Chun stayed so positive and invested in our journey, even during times when we ourselves were less than positive given the obstacles and losses we faced and eventually overcame. We recently went back to IVF Hawaii and have now welcomed another baby. It is all thanks to him that our dream of having a family has come true. Infertility is such a rough journey and we really needed the guidance of a clinic that treats each patient as an individual and not as a number with a protocol tailored to our unique circumstances. From the expert guidance and explanation of Dr. Chun, Lorene explaining and instructing us every step of the way, Cyndi lending her knowledge with answers to technical insurance questions, and the warmth and friendliness of the staff, Gen, Kristy, and Marcy, IVF Hawaii became our family during our challenging journey. We are very happy with the care, compassion, and individual approach we received and highly recommend IVF Hawaii.

Oh Edie. Edie is like my fairy godmother. I heard about Edie from a friend who was also placed on…read morethe waitlist but didn't get a chance to work with her. She told me that Edie was well known in the Hawaii fertility world to help many difficult cases get pregnant. My husband and I were trying to get pregnant over the last 7 years and have gone through one failed round of IVF and numerous rounds of IUI with no success, on top of a natural pregnancy in December 2022 that ended in a miscarriage. I've been diagnosed with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis and have even considered using an egg donor if all else failed with my eggs. I've also tried the Mediterranean diet prior to our IVF and was still not successful. I was 39 years old and figured age was also not on my side. We were planning on doing one last round of IVF in the beginning of 2024 and figured I should at least try acupuncture as a last ditch effort to perhaps help my body prep for IVF. I called the office and was placed on the waitlist. I believe it took a few months before I was called to be offered a consultation. Edie not only focuses on your main fertility issue but works on your whole body and your gut to help you get healthy and conceive as naturally as possible. After my consultation, I was placed on the candida diet to help lessen the inflammation in my gut. Let me tell you, that diet was one of the hardest things I've ever done. You will religiously shop at Whole Foods & check Costco for Organic protein options. I was also going to see Edie twice a week for acupuncture as well as taking my Chinese herbs that taste like dirt LOL. I made it a routine and my coworkers were even aware of my diet and routine lol. Slowly I lost some bad weight, gained energy, and was overall healthier and it became a lifestyle. I wish I could say I was still as good on my diet now, but I am honestly way more conscious of what I put in my body as opposed to before. To have positive results, you will have to work hard, but it definitely is worth it. The office staff is really friendly, parking is validated, and they have Saturday appointments which are very helpful if you work weekdays. Edie also works with Dr. Dominguez who is an excellent Fertility doctor. Together they are like the dynamic duo who will holistically help you achieve your fertility goals. To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first because I'm terrified of needles and thought how could all of this possibly work? Week after week, Edie worked up to the bigger needles for me and instead of feeling tense, I found my acupuncture sessions relaxing. Yes, the sessions and herbs can get pretty pricey, but I always remind myself that the price tag was worth not having to go through IVF again. I started seeing Edie in June 2023 and got pregnant with an unmedicated IUI in October 2023. Unfortunately that pregnancy resulted in a chemical pregnancy, but it was one step closer to our goal. My prior IUIs always used meds like Letrozole but I never ever got pregnant from them. Then the next month we were surprised when I conceived naturally! We were ecstatic but apprehensive since I've had two miscarriages before. I continued to see Edie twice a week during my pregnancy, kept up with my protein intake especially during the first trimester, and took my herbs. I believe all of that in combination helped me to keep my nausea controlled, no morning sickness, and very minimal swelling. My pregnancy went very well and was unremarkable. Even the postpartum nurses were shocked I wasn't swollen at all after giving birth. Like many of you reading these reviews, I felt hopeful after years of disappointment and was praying that hopefully someday I'd be on the other side of these reviews making my own successful review for Edie. We are so grateful we found Edie and that she was able to help us achieve getting pregnant naturally to a healthy baby boy. We never thought we would ever have a baby nonetheless conceive naturally. If you are on the fence about seeing Edie--take the leap cause it could change your life. Thank you Edie for helping us conceive our beautiful son. Definitely recommend Edie if you're looking for a fertility acupuncturist!

I just got a call after being on the waitlist for 8 months, and told they're "going down the list"…read moreto reach out to waitlisted people. I was essentially told I had to decide that minute (like literally THAT MINUTE) if I would accept an upcoming appointment in a few weeks. I'm in treatment with a different acupuncturist - it's been 8 months after all - and I needed a moment to think about this. I wanted to review my care plan and goals after not hearing from this practice for so long. Very much caught off guard. I asked if I could have time to think (I wanted about an hour), and was told no - I would need to decide right then THAT MINUTE - and she needed to proceed down the waitlist. I felt extremely pressured to make a decision on the spot, in a very vulnerable aspect of health care - fertility and women's health. I was about to say yes, and then after thinking about it for the three seconds I had and how unprofessional this all felt - my answer turned to a hard "no." This practice made me feel like a mark, a number, an insignificant person on a list to get through until they hit their client booking goals. In spite of how talented a healer Edie Uchida might be, this policy is unfair and the person delivering this info, very cold.

Me (being my impatient self) wanted to explore other possibilities. I'm still young and relatively healthy, so I was looking for a naturopathic option. She did an extensive consultation and walked me through the plan before we started acupuncture. She asked about things like my diet, lifestyle, and gave me great advice on what I should/shouldn't do. The next appointment was scheduled for acupuncture. I'm not sure if it was the timing or the stars just aligned. I immediately got pregnant after the first session! A pregnancy test confirmed it a month later on Father's Day. I saw her religiously during the first trimester and sparingly throughout my pregnancy. Based off my pulse, she was able to identify the baby's gender and confirmed we're having a boy! Now, a year later, we have a healthy and happy baby boy! I still see her once a month post partum to help my body heal. Thank you Dr. Mei-Lin! PS She also helped fix my reoccurring knee and ankle pains Thanks for reading my reviews!

You can SEE his JOY in helping families!! It's so rare to find a gem like him in the medical field... and I'm grateful every single day for him and for his heart for women desiring to become mothers. I truly thank God for this man. Dr. Kosasa is, by far, one of the most brilliant and compassionate doctors out there. We are blessed to have him here in Hawai'i, contributing to our community by helping women and families expand our village through conceiving and carrying new life. There are so many women and couples out there who lose so much time (and hope) trying [often, unsuccessfully] to conceive on their own. After six months of trying for my 2nd baby with my husband, I got so disheartened and frustrated and was encouraged (by my mom, no less) to seek Dr. Kosasa's help. He had helped her conceive in 1995 with my brother and he helped her maintain an *EXTREMELY* high risk pregnancy with me in 1985. I met with him in early 2020 for help to conceive my 2nd child. He evaluated me, diagnosed and treated my main issue affecting my egg quality, production and release (thanks a lot, PCOS!). In less than a month of his treatment, I had a healthy, beautiful egg! Dr. Kosasa administered an HCG shot to provoke ovulation and instructed us to "try" for the next three days. We successfully conceived and over the next 6 months, he checked on me every single week and gave me progesterone shots to maintain the pregnancy. I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl! In early 2022, I sought Dr. Kosasa's care to maintain my natural pregnancy with my 3rd baby. It was, yet another high risk pregnancy with sporadic vaginal bleeding, polyhydramnios and on top of that- at 14 weeks along, I had an emergency surgery to remove my appendix- a laparoscopic appendectomy. Dr. Kosasa cared for me and my baby so well that come that September, baby girl #3 was born safely. In December of 2023, we had a miscarriage and realized that we really did want to try for another child afterward. This was our third miscarriage to date. I wanted Dr. Kosasa to be a part of every step to address any issues and perhaps to repeat the same treatment we had with baby #2. We discovered in the ultrasounds in baby #3 that I had polyps in my uterus, which, per Dr. Kosasa, was most likely the culprit for the irregular bleeding and miscarriages. We scheduled to remove them via polypectomy (outpatient procedure) and within one month, we naturally (and unexpectedly) conceived our 4th baby. This was the first pregnancy with no bleeding, no complications, no issues whatsoever. I did have polyhydramnios again, but no one can prevent that. I gave birth to my 4th baby, safely and naturally in November of 2024. Dr. Kosasa has enriched my life and the lives of my family in such a tangible way that we get to see and love and care for every single day in our four babies. His care and expertise kept my life safe, helped my brother be conceived and born, helped three of my children be safe in the womb... I don't have better words for this man except that he is a gentle and caring prince.
