Had a 9AM appointment, didn't get pulled into a room for over 30 minutes. Went in, sat there another 30 minutes before being seen. Waited another 30 minutes after quick exam for a 15 minute fix. Hygienist in next room was so loud and unprofessional, kept my anxiety on high. The office was filthy, dusty and cluttered, not what I remembered from years ago. Dentists kids running back and forth throughout the office. Not very comforting as there are dental procedures taking place. Overall just not a good experience and I will not be returning.

When you find a professional who knows their profession and treats their customers well, you have…read morereally found someone to be treasured. That is exactly what I have found in all the professionals who work at Dr. Melanie Vallejos' dental offices. For the past 19 years, I have seen Nora for my dental hygiene and periodic cleanings. Nora is THE BEST. She is delightful to know as a person and she takes great care of my teeth. She really knows her stuff and always does a thorough job cleaning my teeth and letting me know how I can improve my dental health. Because Nora does such a great job taking care of my cleanings, I rarely need to have cavities filled, or any complicated dental work done by Dr. Vallejos. But on those occasions that I have needed dental work from the doctor, I will say that I actually have enjoyed it. Melanie is always careful to make sure she is not causing me any discomfort. Just sitting there in the chair and watching her and Mara work on my teeth is like watching a master watchmaker and her apprentice build a watch. They are so precise and compassionate in the work they do. I always feel confident that my teeth are being given the very best dental care possible. I am sure, like everyone that Melanie, Nora and Mara have days when they feel down and things are not going their way, but you would never know it from how delightful they are when you come to their offices. A real professional group, who are truly a treasure to me. You cannot go wrong getting your teeth cared for here. But please, keep it our secret, because I want to be able to get an appointment whenever I need it.

Pros to this office: *Didn't have a long wait time to be…read moreseen and no packed waiting room. Cons to this office: *Office isn't as "clean" as I would expect. Trash was overflowing onto the countertop in their patient restroom and toilet seat looked like it hadn't been sanitized in quite awhile. Ick. *Office claimed they all wear their masks all the time, but that's not true. A couple of employees quickly put their masks on when they saw patients walking in. *Staff that remained after 5:00 pm had no clue about what was arranged with staff from earlier in the day. * Assistant was very rude. Brought my family member out and made it very obvious she was not happy when she spoke with the receptionist about the next appointment. When I asked her a question she just walked off. I've worked in dentistry for over 27 years and I am surprised that our experience was as bad as it was. I truly thought that the Uehara's would have a well -educated and professional staff. Hopefully, it's just a few bad apples. However, we won't be returning.

Here to comment that I was an unfortunate victim of the Ueharas over a decade ago when they claimed…read moreI got 10 cavities in one year using their 'fancy predictive equipment'. My parents and I chalked it up to me getting braces off and maybe not brushing properly with them, but now that I see it's happened to many others...yikes. We should've gotten a second opinion. They took about 5 hours for a couple fillings they said would take only 1-2 hours and kept messing up my anesthesia. They also didn't believe me when I said I needed more anesthetic than most due to genetics and I felt every. single. thing. They originally gave me the absolute bare minimum anesthetic and I had to ask for more probably 3-4 times. They didn't believe me until they decided to drill and I flinched/yelped so loud that they finally gave me more injections. Then they left the room for so long it wore off by the time they returned and had to redo the process from scratch. To top this off, in a later appointment they fit one of my crowns so horrifically I couldn't bite down properly for a year and I've had lasting TMJ and asymmetrical muscles in my face ever since. In retrospect, my family and I probably should've pursued legal action, but it's so long in the past now that I'd just severely warn everyone to stay away.

Yo! My crown came off while eating on the plane to Maui. Super stressful! It wasn't painful but it…read moremade eating uncomfortable and didn't seem like a good idea for my vacation. I had Wi-Fi so I searched up emergency dentist" in Kahului even though I was going to West Maui. This place looked good and super close to the airport. While I was still on my flight, they told me they could squeeze me in when I landed. Meanwhile I texted them my insurance card and they gave me an appointment and said if I was late I could go between patients. When I got there, I only had to wait a few minutes before I was taken back to see Dr. Lena! She was so nice as was her dental assistant and the receptionists. She saw that in fact it was not only my crown that came off... but also part of my tooth! So she told me to make sure to see my dentist at home when I get home, and she took a picture to send him. Within a few minutes, she had cleaned off my crown and then she carefully and skillfully put it back on and cemented it. And they take Delta Dental! I paid $120 on top of what insurance covered, but it was totally worth it. The errand to come here from the airport only took about 30 minutes, and then I could start vacation. This is an incredibly thorough and responsive office. I'm so glad I found them on Yelp and they could set me up while I was still on the plane. Dr. Lena is super nice also and makes a patient feel at ease. Highly recommended, even if you're not going to start your vacation this way lol!

I couldn't ask for a better team- Kahului Dental ALWAYS comes through for me with great dental care at a fair price from a compassionate team you should trust. I always do. Mahalo!

The cleaning was smooth, efficient, and completely painless--something I never thought I'd say about a dental visit. Ashton takes pride in his work and treats every patient with care and respect. He's the reason I've been able to stick to my dental routine. If you're booking an appointment here, ask for Ashton. You'll be glad you did.

Whatever you do - don't go here…read more My insurance was expiring at the end of the month. I called to see if they could accept me as a patient before that. I took OFF work because they could only get me in for X-rays at 8am and a cleaning at 11am. I went in for the X-rays and the dentist said it looked pretty good, but asked her assistant which Doctor I was seeing at 11am. When the assistant Dee replied which Doctor (Nancy) it was the one I was seeing said, "oh no, she'll probably want to do a deep cleaning, she doesn't need it but she'll probably want to do that." The assistant and the woman checking out gave me the option to do the deep cleaning for $500 out of pocket total (in two phases) or to stay with the cleaning. As a paycheck to paycheck, I can't just shell out money for a reason that oh this doctor is going to want it. I opted to stay with the cleaning. They said, thank you, see you at 11. I came back at 1045am and sat there until 1115am. The front desk called me up and said the dentist will not take my appt because I've been recommended for a deep cleaning. I told them the other Doctor gave me the option and I was losing insurance at the end of the month and took off work today for this. They said Dr. Nancy and the hygienist wouldn't take me unless I did the deep cleaning and paid. Told me to call back and reschedule when I have other insurance and a new job. This is absolutely horrible practice, I felt like it was a shake down. I will never go back to them!! For a lot of people paycheck-to-paycheck, you can't expect people to pay and refuse service for a "recommended work" because one doctor will let the other "hear it" Avoid.

The dental hygienist are thorough and I'm very pleased with the results of my cleanings. About Dr. Mike, he has a sense of humor and is personable. I felt confident with him and his proficiency from my very first visit. He is thorough in his examinations, and explains to you while showing you on your films, what your dental issues are and he discusses with you a treatment plan to include an estimate of the services needed before you begin the work. I've never felt any discomfort, pain, or anxiety while Dr. Mike is working on my teeth, and I am always pleased with his work. I just so happen to have needed to have very extensive work so I visited with three other dentist on the island, and although two others were quite good, I've chosen to stay with Dr. Mike.
