My daughter still wears her mask inside upon entering but the lady at the front desk said you don't need them. Better safe than sorry. It was fairly quick. Hubby went with my daughter to the entrance while I waited in the car. I have been there before and location is clean and the ladies at the front were nice and explained everything. My daughter told me she has no cavities which is good but she needs to brush her teeth more. Highly recommend this location since it's close by where we live.

I called them and asked if they could see my son just to make sure that everything is okay. They told me to come right away, and that made me feel so happy. We drove to the clinic and got seen within 5 minutes. I forgot the name of the dentist but she was lovely with my son as well. She made sure to calm him down while inspecting his gums. I like that the clinic has a huge aquarium cause my son always looks forward to see the fishies on their visit. And the staff are all very nice, always have a smile on their faces, and makes sure to explain each and every charge on the bill, and thoroughly explains every procedure. Downside? You can never get the appointment you want, for the month you need it, and the time you're available. They're always so busy and packed! But that's okay! Good thing my schedule is pretty flexible.

The Uchida dentist's are the best!!! I love the way they debrief me after each visit (prior to our…read moredeparture). They are excellent at communicating with me, showing me X-rays, and ensuring that I am fully informed of my children's oral care. My 4 kids love going to the dentist! My children love watching a movie while they wait. They particularly enjoy receiving a balloon and picking out a cheap toy from the treasure chest on the way out. The waiting room is small and usually crowded...but you do not have to wait inside. If you should choose to go run errands during the wait time, they will call you before your child is done. Personally, I always wait in the waiting room and enjoy watching the movie playing. My only complaint is that they always OVER CHARGE me. You must pay their "estimated patient portions" at the time of service (they do not bill you after the fact). The problem is that they always over charge me. They calculate based on a percentage, rather than what my copayments actually are. We've been clients of their's for years and I would expect them to more accurate. After insurance pays, the Uchida office holds my over payment as a credit towards our next visit (unless I specifically ask for the refund check to be mailed to me).

I was recommended to him by my Cousin and all 3 of her children is a Patient here. My Son has been established since he was 2.5 years old. I highly recommend Aiea Pediatric Dental Center - easy to find located right across Pearlridge Shopping Center, with good parking stalls. Dr. Tom and his entire staff are amazing. They're so welcoming with us. I trust the work they do completely as they are meticulous and very efficient. Doctor and his hygienist are knowledgeable, takes the care to answer all my questions, and seems to enjoy their job and I love that. His office staff is accommodating and attentive. They return my call when I leave a Voicemail and Patient with rescheduling. They're super helpful, friendly, and very good at responding. The office space is very new, clean, and spacious. It's overall the best place I've found for my only child and I plan to stay with Dr. Tom until my son outgrows his office.

It was great to hear that my daughters teeth were perfect, super clean, no cavities and that I was doing a really good job along with her dad with keeping up with her teeth...

Turns out I needed an emergency wisdom tooth removal which they did immediately. I saw Dr. Wu and he was as kind and gentle as they come! He never seemed rushed with me and was very gentle - I don't mind shots or donating blood but I absolutely HATE getting shots in my mouth! I had to return a few days later for some complications from the removal and he was able to see me sooner rather than later. Just as gracious as the first visit and was so patient and willing to answer any and all of my questions. I wish I remembered the name of my hygienist the second time, she was the best!!! COVID-19 PROTOCOLS: *call to make an appointment; they are currently only seeing emergencies *wait outside their front door and an employee will come out to screen you - take your temperature and have you fill out some paperwork *once cleared, you will be led into the lobby where, if needed, you will fill out paperwork and if not, be directed to sit in one of their 4 socially-distanced sitting areas *they will open all the doors for you to prevent possible contamination *yes, you still need to wear a mask even though you're going to the dentist; they will instruct you when it is safe to remove your mask I wish I could say that I can't wait to go back, but I can. But when I DO, I will be happy that I will be returning to this location. I plan on switching locations just because of the amazing service and experiences I have had at this location.

The next business day, the receptionist called me back to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kitamura. I recently went last week to my appointment. As soon as i walked into the office the two receptionist looked up and greeted me with a smile. They gave me paperwork to fill out. As soon as i was done, a dental assistant came out to get me. She asked questions about my permanent retainer and wanted to see it. The Doctor then came out to check it out. They gave me the price to put the retainer back in. Which was a lot however i needed to get it done so i paid for it anyways. As the dental assistant put the retainer back in, she was awesome. She explained exactly what she was about to do. Due to me having braces in High School and having a bad experience i ain't going to lie i was scared! She talked to me and made me feel a lot better when she explained everything. Thank you for such a awesome experience! I was a little bummed that i checked in, but i forgot to get my free gift.

While not my first time here, it was my first experience with the new doctor. Everything went by…read morefast and smoothly, however when I felt like something was wrong or off, I was dismissed or they did it their way instead of really fixing it. I dont really give out reviews unless I find it necessary. That said, I only do so when it's bad service. When I told them it felt off, the doctor fixed it on the OPPOSITE side of where I told them, which wouldn't be a problem, but when they fixed it on the right side, it added up so ultimately it still had the same issue. Not only that, the person who was taking care of me [i didn't get her name] pinched my lip pretty hard between the braces wire and the brackets. When I reacted the first time, it hurt pretty bad. I was still a little worried when she did it again, because she pinched it a few times and it stung a bit while she put it on, I flinched. She seemed kind of annoyed at that. I felt uncared for and like they didn't care about my comfort and needs. Now I look at it, it's really uncomfortable to "rest" my mouth to look normal, and when I actually rest it the "build up" is what they called it, forces my mouth to look crooked due to uneven amounts on each side. It's slightly unclear in the photos, but it's more clear if I had gotten them from the same angle. Other than that normally it's better service, so hopefully it'll get better again with time with this new doctor, but I'm not a fan of it so far.

This particular business is located uptown, on the top floor of the Pearlridge shopping center, the…read moreopposite end of Macy's. Parking lot is huge and I never have issues finding a spot. I switched over to this dental office about a year ago because of their ability to schedule exams and cleanings on the same day. In addition, for emergency cases, they can take you in pretty quick. Myself, my husband, and our oldest daughter all attend this office. Staff here is very friendly and outgoing. Doctors are great and have always able to assist us with different needs. I will say that most of my interactions are with Tina who sometimes is checking me in, or also there are to assist with any services that I have. Recently, I experienced a dental nightmare that put me in the ER twice in one week and ultimately I was sent to a specialist to get a root canal performed. After I got my root canal done in December the same tooth cracked before the new year started, and I went back to this office. When I got in touch with Tina about my cracked tooth, she was able to fit me in, and I was so worried that they were going to extract my tooth. This was the day that I met Dr. Chang! He assured me that he would be able to save my tooth, and that he did! His superpower is his kind heart and easy-going attitude. He communicated with me every step of the way about the process and what needed to be done. That day he added a temporary crown, and I did return a few weeks later for the permanent crown. I am truly thankful for his knowledge and skills. I love the customer care that I receive, the cleanliness of the office, and the speed of getting services done. I believe that Tina and Dr. Chang are true assets to the company just by being themselves. Patient care comes first for them and their only goal is to make sure we aren't in pain or uncomfortable. Their warm hearts make me smile when I see them, and I will continue to return and refer others because of the way they have helped me through my horrible dental season!

I was extremely disappointed with the lack of integrity. At my last visit to them, they told me I…read moreneeded 3 fillings without any x-rays. I found it to be odd considering I had zero the appointment 6 months prior and had done nothing different. I asked what cavities were they talking about they just showed me a normal photo of my tooth groove. The front desk was pressing me and my other half about doing billing and when we would schedule our services, we both declined due to the price as well as I felt like it wasn't the case that 3 fillings were needed. The front desk continued to press us likely seeing as I had significant coverage left and the end of the year was approaching. I went to a new dentist 8 months later.... Well I have only 1 cavity that needs a conservative filling and has no progressed greatly. I would find it odd how 3 fillings were needed and it's not as if my cavities would have disappeared over time. Sorry but you folks need to work on how you do business bc lying to customers just to get paid is ridiculous, especially when some may not know what to look out for.

He replaced my old silver filling then created a beautiful crown for that tooth within hours. I like how he asked what my future intentions were on whitening my teeth.

They also made sure I was aware about my insurance coverage and my out-of-pocket expense. I really appreciated their honesty.

From the moment I called, the team treated me with empathy and zero judgment. At my visit, the front desk was warm and organized, the hygienist was gentle yet meticulous, and Dr. Kuioka was exceptional. He took time to listen, walked me through what he was seeing and why, offered options without any pressure, and checked in frequently to make sure I was comfortable. The technology is modern, the office feels calm, and the entire appointment was smoother and more comfortable than I imagined possible. I left with a clear plan, confidence to follow through, and genuine gratitude. If you have anxiety about dental care--or you've been avoiding it--do yourself a favor and book with Dr. Kuioka. Compassionate, professional, and truly patient-centered. Highly recommend.
