Horrible experience with this doctor. During my appointment she was dogmatic and condescending. Would not recommend this doctor.

Luckily, I found Pali Women's Health which was thankfully on the west side of the island near home. Pali Women's Health shares the same parking lot as Kalapawai Cafe. If there is no parking, you can find street parking, Chuck E Cheeses, or across the street at the old K-Mart. It's a small facility, but I felt that it was great for what I was wanted. I called in after seeing their Yelp page and requested an appointment. Someone called me within 48 hours to schedule and because I was a new patient, they even mailed me my forms ahead of time so I can complete it before coming in. The woman on the phone was really helpful and she worked with my hectic work schedule. My appointment was with Physician's Assistant Alisha who was awesome! I felt comfortable talking with her about my health and felt that she gave me great information based on my family's history on preventative measures and doing a cancer screening. I felt comfortable talking to her and the exam flew by quickly. I'd definitely recommend!

I absolutely love coming to this location, i live in the Pearl City area and even though i work in…read moretown i prefer this location to the town location ( traffic and parking). Receptionist's and intake MA have always been nice and professional greeting me with a smile and always saying hello. They are working so hard always on the phone or scheduling an appt probably amongst other things like doing prior auths for failed insurance coverage etc etc. They always knows who i am when checking in, and while sometimes we do have to wait because Dr Tsai is delivering a baby or seeing a new mother for her morning check up i am totally fine waiting. Dr Tsai has been my OB for 6 of my births and there is no where else i would rather be. She is hard working, selfless, knowledgeable, knows how to make critical decisions in a high stress situation and always willing to stay and answer every question that i have. Working in the medical field myself we can be the worst type of patient (LOL) but i trust her as well as her office completely. Anytime i had a concern that seemed "out there" Dr Tsai always put my mind at ease. Her Nurse Practitioners are also EXCELLENT: Kathy, Erica and Wimonrat. They have each helped me at some point and i am even fine with just seeing them for my routine check ups because they are that amazing. If you want a doctor who is there to actually help people and do so with exceptional care and love, look no further than Dr Tsai and her team!

I was originally scheduled to see Dr. Tsai, whom I specifically selected, but my provider was…read morechanged at the last minute and I was instead seen by a nurse practitioner. The nurse practitioner attempted to insert my IUD twice but was unsuccessful. What was most frustrating was the lack of clear communication about why the insertion was unsuccessful. Rather than explaining what may have made the insertion difficult, I was told that I had not taken the prescribed medication correctly, even though I had followed the instructions. She also commented that, in her career, I was the only one patient in the recent years she had been unable to insert an IUD for. That comment was extremely discouraging and immediately made me feel as though something was wrong with me. I understand that IUD insertions can sometimes be difficult or unsuccessful, and I would have been much more understanding if I had simply been given clear, respectful education about what happened and what my options were. Instead, the experience felt very invasive, uncomfortable, and emotionally discouraging. I scheduled a third appointment but ultimately canceled because I did not feel comfortable going through the process again. It was violating. I ended up finding another OBGYN instead. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience and especially with how the situation was communicated to me. This practice has lost my trust, and I most definitely would not trust them to deliver a child after this experience with a far less invasive procedure.

Dr. Richard Ikehara…read more I had transferred care mid pregnancy to Dr. Ikehara due to wanting an Vbac after my c section from my second pregnancy in Jan 2022. Since I've gotten transferred and in Dr. Ikehara's care it's been nothing but a smooth transition and thee best care I have ever received!! This is my third pregnancy and each pregnancy I've struggled with finding an OB that didn't treat me like an transaction or in & out patient. This is my first OBGYN that I'm truly happy with and even though this would be my last kid (my husband and I agrees, 3 is a lot) that he makes visits so easy going and the atmosphere is always happy it makes us want to have another one after this. Also, he doesn't make any visits or vaginal checks awkward. I've had female ob's and seen a few male ob's in the past but by far... Dr. Ikehara and his staff (Carleen) makes everything so comfortable and you can tell that they love what they do. Dr. answers all your questions throughly, gives you professional advice, and is clear with it all--like no run arounds just straightforward and I love that. The last thing I needed was to be worried about VBAC and everything feels so right, I am due any minute and I am so excited for my babies arrival. I also wanted to acknowledge his assistant Carleen, she is the sweetest person! I always look forward to my visits with her and Dr. Ikehara. From here on out, I'll be recommending my friends + family to him There is NO DOUBT in my heart that I didn't choose the BESTEST office & OBGYN!!

TIP: If the mom is a civilian spouse of a military member, you could get out of "Crippler" by "downgrading" your Tri-Care status from Prime to Standard, then you could use a Dr. of your choice as long as s/he accepts Tri-care. The copays are insignificant. Our delivery at Kapiolani was normal 3-day stay, billed for $16.5K to mom & $3.5K to baby... and our total copay was $50. This is totally an upgrade! Also, Tri-Care will pay for a set of double electric breast pump & accessories; make sure your OB/GYN will write a prescription that will require/recommend those items by functionality & not by brand. P.S. I would add photos if Yelp allows nudity =P

I struggled losing the extra weight after delivery. He forgot to put me on iron pills - I was anemic - only after I mentioned that my friend told me every mother needs iron pills during pregnancy then he prescribed it. During delivery, there was a woman who went into the next room. We could hear her baby cry. I noticed he started to rush my child's birthing as if it was a challenge since the woman gave birth quicker than me.
