They're all very personable, sweet, and real. They don't keep secrets and keep your treatment up front. With something as fairly new as ketamine for chronic pain, it's been a challenge to first determine if it is right for me, then determine if I would place this risky care into the hands of someone I can trust. This is definitely that office for me.

Ketamine Infusion for chronic and severe complex pain! Ketamine Clinics of Hawaii Dr Michael…read moreAnthony Pasquale basically saved my life! I'll explain how, i had been suffering from severe chronic pain to my lower back, neck as well as left ankle this pain after seeing every specialist in Sydney Australia which is where i am from all I was told was that my pain symptoms are too complex and the only treatment they could offer me was Opiods(Narcotic) painkillers, which i began to take everyday this i did for about over 5 years with some degree of success! However one day in late August 2017 i just woke up with this crazy all i can call is Suicidal 10/10 pain to my neck, back and left ankle just like as if a sharp knife was being stabbed into my back! I imeadiatly went to my spinal surgeon who right away trasfered me to a private pain clinic in a majoer hospital, There they just continued to dose me up with more oxycontin doubble what i was taking then endone a faster acting opiod as well as a few Morphine shots all to no avail i was in so much pain i just wanted to die like jump out the window or something my quality of life was zero and i was desperate! So thats when i decided to seek my own reseach on this kind of pain and any treatments as my body had just come to a stage where it just would not accept any more pain meddication. During this research i fortunately came accross Dr Micheal Pasquale clinic and read that he was using this cutting edge pain management treatment called Ketamine Ifusion treatment for pain that no longer reponds to opiods! I was so desperate that i rand them and Dr Pasquale immeadiately agreed to treat me. So the following day I was on a plane fron Sydney to Honolulu for this treatment! Basically i can say that Dr Pasquale saved my life as when i got there and prior to strating the treatment i literally was suicidal not because i was deppressed but just because of my constant unbearable chronic pain! So what happened i started the treatment for the first two days enjoying the 4hour treatment experience however a few hours afterwards my pain would come back although not as bad b may 7/10. However after the third days treatment that was it my pain levels had dropped to just 2-3/10 and also I was able to half my high dose intake of the oxycontin from 320mgs a day to just 160mgs a day and then everyday just got better and better! My treatment was suppose to be fo 7 days but I decided to extend it by 3 more to ten! It was truly a miracle treatment on the internet it explains that Ketamine is whats called a dissasocative. Anasthetic so how it works to my understanding is that it during those 4 hour everyday disconnect the body from the brain and help the body and brain to forget all those chronic pain pathways that it has created. Anyway thats my understanding of it! The one thing is that there is no guarantee has to how long the treatment will last it could be 6 months or a year or indefinately this treament reacts differently to each person! But i believe or would much prefer to go and have this pleasent Ketamine Infusion treatment one a year even if I have to fly halfway around the world to have it instead of being addicted to morphine and opiods which come with all its side effects! I sincerely reccomend seeing the team at Ketamine Clinics of Hawaii Dr Anthony Michael Pasquale to treat you if yiu too are suffering fron severe pain Ketamine really works! Kind Regards, Daniel.C

Check in and out is always smooth and efficient. We typically go to the Aiea office; they're in that office M, W, and F, but I believe Dr. Tada is only there on Fridays. Perfect for our schedule. I first heard of Dr Tada from my CRPS support group. They all raved about his knowledge of CRPS, which is a feat in itself as a rare and poorly understood condition with the worse pain known to man. Most of the doctors I had encountered had never even heard of it, much less able to treat it. The only other doctors I found to have significant knowledge on the condition were the doctors at the pain management center at UCSF. Unfortunately, my insurance changed to a company that didn't have UCSF in network. I tried a few doctors on Oahu, but even those who had knowledge of CRPS proposed solutions that were either debunked or had never been widely used in the case of CRPS. And sadly with CRPS, incorrect treatment often leads to spread or worsening of the condition. Hence the dire need for knowledgeable doctors. Not only is Dr. Tada knowledgeable about CRPS but he has had several years and several patients experience. I have since received more helpful solutions than I ever thought possible. Treatment of CRPS is extremely dependent on a case by case basis. Medications that work for one patient they have an opposite effect in another patient. Some patients can tolerate touch while others can barely tolerate a breeze. In some patients it can go into remission while another patients it can cause lifelong debilitating issues. Unfortunately, I fall into the latter category, but with a Dr. Tada, I am able to have an unbelievable quality of life despite the pain. He doesn't just treat a small part of the condition as most doctors do. He treats the patient as a whole.
