I've been going to this dentist for about five years now, and I can confidently say the quality of…read morecare has been consistently excellent. Over the years, I've had everything from routine cleanings to more involved procedures, and every visit has been handled with professionalism, patience, and attention to detail. He always takes the time to thoroughly explain what's going on, walks through options clearly, and answers questions without ever making you feel rushed. What I appreciate most is the consistency. The office is always clean and organized, appointments run on time, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. You can tell the entire team takes pride in what they do. He's also proactive about preventative care. Instead of just fixing problems, he explains what to watch for and how to maintain long-term dental health. That kind of transparency builds trust -- and after five years, I trust him completely. If you're looking for a dentist who is skilled, honest, and genuinely invested in his patients, I highly recommend him.

I'd like to start off by saying that I've always despised having to go to the dentist. I absolutely…read morehated the chemical smells and stuffy rooms. So the fact that I'm here to leave a positive review for Waialae Dental Care surprises even me. Prior to an appointment: You'll get a text message or email as a reminder. Honestly, that helps me a bunch because there's been a few times where I would've completely missed an appointment without those reminders. Parking: Although there's limited stalls, even on a busy day, I've never had to circle the block to be able to park for an appointment. That tells me plenty of how efficient the staff are when scheduling clients. Front of the office staff: They're the most welcoming when it comes to customer service. They're also your biggest supporters and advocates for people who take the time to take care of themselves. All of it is done with aloha! If you're in need of a treatment plan, not only do they give you a full breakdown of what's needed along with the estimated cost but they'll also give you finance options to assist should you need it. There's never any pressure. The Dentists and their support staff: All around the staff is just amazing. No one does anything without checking in on you and your concerns. The patient rooms are somewhat small but they've done great with adding TVs and portraits to keep the mind focused on something else. At the end of the appointment: You'll get to sit with the frontline staff and they always check and see how you're feeling and provide you with next steps (as needed) or let you know how far out you should plan for a cleaning. In all, you can't go wrong with choosing Waialae Dental Care. Good parking, staff that feels more like extended family, and care that eases the mind with their attention to not only the details but also to you specifically.

I asked on 5/4 for a letter of medical necessity for my upcoming procedure on 5/18. On 5/18 they didn't have it so I reminded them and they said they'd email it; no email. 5/20 I call and ask about it, I'm told I'll be emailed; no email. Now it's 5/27 I call again and I'm told I'll be updated.. we'll see. My FSA rolled over and the deadline for submissions is 6/1. I thought by asking on 5/4 I wouldn't have to worry about being out $1,600 AND losing the $1,600 in my FSA but here we are. I think I'll go somewhere else for the semi-annual service I need and avoid the headache.

Having experienced several dentistry offices on and off the island, I'd say Dental Day Spa (Dr Nip) is the most meticulous, transparent, and friendly office. The office is clean. Dr. Nip and his staff are very competent and professional. For new patients, they require a consultation and X-ray before making a tooth cleaning appointment. For any special procedures ie. Root canal, they refer you to other specialists. There's parking available in the structure with validation available. They are off on weekends and Wednesdays.

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.
