I had Dr Sparks come on less than 24-hours notice. He helped me out tremendously with a very painful and embarrassing cyst which was preventing me from enjoying vacation. Truthfully, without Dr Sparks, my vacation would have been ruined. I owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. Dr Sparks was incredibly kind and has a bedside manner I haven't encountered in medicine in quite some time. His explanations of various care options were clear and well-thought out. He is an exemplary doctor. Additionally, he was very kind about making sure there was some follow up after the appointment, and told me to get in touch if I'm ever back in the area. He will be my first call if I'm ever back on Kauai!!!! read more

We came into the clinic not knowing it was just closed. The dr popped his head out of a room finishing a patient and asked what he could do and said hold on. We waited about 10 min and he came out. What we thought was coral in my sons foot from surfing was actually a sea urchin. This Dr easily could've sent us to another clinic but he spent the next 90 min trying to get out as much as possible. If you look up the Aloha spirit you surely will see his picture. We appreciated him seeing us and thanked him so many times. We left with a wrapped foot, detailed instructions, and a surgical shoe for him to wear. Great clinic, great service, and very clean. This isn't the urgent care that came up but drove past it every day so we thought the hours were of this clinic not the other one in town. So glad we went to this one. There is a reason every single review is 5 Fee was $200 to be seen and they do not accept insurance. Our bill was $325 with a tetanus shot and shoe. Worth every penny! read more

I can't say enough awesome things about the doctors and staff at Poipu Mobile MD! I have been going to Dr. JWayne. since he opened years ago .

While traveling to Poipu, I had a surfing accident where the fin of the board lacerated my scalp. The closest clinic was the Poipu Mobile Clinic. You never know the experience of the staff in these types of clinics. I Chair one of the Boards of one of the largest Health Systems on the mainland and I could not believe the talent in this little, rural Clinic. Dr. Burris owns the clinic. He was educated at Washington & Lee and then the University of North Carolina and was an ER Physician for many years before opening up this Clinic. In addition to Dr. Burris, the Clinic is staffed with two other experienced ER Physicians. Both the experience and the care was phenomenal. I don't believe I would have been more comfortable in the Health System I help manage. Nobody ever plans for accidents on vacation. If you are in need, go visit Dr. Burris. read more

Poipu Mobile MD Clinic - Dr. Burris' good work! - Urgent Care Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

My wife and I were blown away with the level of care and professionalism. My son had a terrible fever over the night. We are beyond thankful we were able to stumble to Poipu Mobile MD Clinic. We made the appointment at night via the website. Within minutes, we received a concerned message from the doctor at 1 am. We would typically not get this level of care on the mainland. The doctor arrived promptly, and our son felt comfortable talking to the doctor. He was able to diagnose and prescribe medication. I am blown away with the business model and very thankful it was created. I would for sure recommend this service if needed. read more

My wife had a bug bite that seemed to be infected our second day on Kauai. We were driving toward another clinic that may have accepted her insurance, when I saw the sign for Poipu Mobile MD on Poipu Rd. I immediately turned into the parking lot. So glad I did! Dr. Burris and the team are fantastic! They were upfront about not accepting insurance and provided the flat rate for the office visit. Dr. Burris has a warm, congenial, bedside manner. He aims to get to know you without being overly familiar or chatty. The first shot of antibiotics was included in the price of the office visit and he filled the prescription right there for a reasonable price. We pray Dr. Burris and the team have many years of success here on Kauai! read more

I've seen Dr. J Wayne two times now over the last 2 1/2 months they were able to fit me in at super last minute notice for emergencies and super expertise and high level of care super impressed much better than going to the big bucks hospitals etc.. Very personalized and very attentive from all of the staff highly recommend read more

Poipu Mobile MD Clinic is great! Staff and doctor! After a sailing / snorkel excursion, my ear would not clear. I called them in the morning and they were able to see me at 9am in the clinic, which was a couple blocks away from our condo. Very professional, friendly, clean, private and thorough care! read more

The last thing you want to be is sick while on vacation. Thank goodness there is a qualified medical professional that can come to you to help. Dr. Burris has a great bedside manner. I felt I could openly talk with him and he listened. He said he would call and follow up on my progress which he did several times during my vacation. Wish this type of mobile service with this professionalism existed where I live! read more

The best service we have ever gotten at an urgent care facility. The physician was extremely thorough and friendly and very knowledgeable. Immediate appointment available and PCR rapid test results in 30 minutes. A little pricey. read more

Wish I had called earlier! I spent 2 days debating whether to call Poipu Mobile MD after I stepped on a Kiawe thorn and my foot still hurt to walk. I assumed maybe it would go away or at worst I could check it out when I went home. Instead of being stubborn and hobbling around more, I decided to call and I'm so glad I did. The whole process only took 10 minutes to remove the piece of thorn, and now my foot feels better so I can go back to enjoying my vacation! read more

I'm super happy with my experience at Poipu Mobile MD Clinic. I was able to make my appointment online, the same day. Dr. Burris was very kind & listened to me. He prescribed what I needed & I was out the door. My phone rang a few minutes later. Dr. Burris called to let me know that he looked up a new medication I had been on & realized I may be having a reaction to it. I called my doctor on the mainland to have it switched. I am thankful that he took the time to research this for me. read more

I arrived on the island and the next day I had a horrible case of strep. They got me right in. The office space is bright and clean. The nurses and doctors are so gracious and really listen to your concerns. Three days later I still was not getting better so I went back and they had a whole other treatment plan to try be this one worked! So grateful for their knowledge, the ease of their location. The cash pay system is easy to understand and no guesses later when you get the bills from insurance companies. Highly recommend for all your urgent care needs. read more

Exceptional care! Coming from another physician. Was here on vacation and cut my toe very badly on the rocks in the ocean. Called and made an appointment within the hour. No waiting, great bedside manner and let me know everything he was doing throughout the stitch up. Even gave me a few supplies to go home with to hold me over for one day. Great stitch work, clean lines, painless due to ample nerve block local sedation. Would highly recommend as it is safe, clean and experienced provider giving quality work. read more

We were so impressed with Dr. Warren!! On vacation in Poipu we unfortunately needed his services for our 1 year old. He checked up on her multiple times through the week and was so knowledgeable and reassuring! Highly recommend! In regards to her sickness we were so glad we didn't bring her to an ER or urgent care it would of been such a nightmare compared to there mobile service that was just as helpful and probably better! We really liked knowing we had a mobile doctor we could call anytime that could come see her at our condo right away if we needed especially on vacation. Thank you! read more

I had the pleasure being treated by a fantastic physician Dr.Warren Sparks. I was miserable and found this MD mobile information. The response and turn around time was very fast. Dr Sparks has excellent and very knowledgeable. Coming from a medical field I instantly knew I was in good hands and knowledge was important to me. He treated me quickly. Checked up on me often and I feel a lot better than where I started. I avoided the ER and MD mobile was an excellent experience. Thank you Dr Sparks . Mahalo read more

Amazing people. They were thorough, kind, attentive and quick. We were on vacation and my 5 year old son wasn't feeling well. They took great care of him and put our minds at ease. Worth every penny. Thank you to Dr. Burris and staff. read more

We weren't able to get an appointment for a school sports physical with our pediatrician till the end of November, so they suggested we call Poipu Mobile MD Clinic. I gave them a call, scheduled an appointment and had the physical done in 2 days. Great service, pleasant staff and doctor. If your child needs a physical asap, give them a call. read more

With the Corona Virus outbreak, I was unable to get into see a regular doctor. I was fortunate enough that my bf found Dr. Sparks! I cannot begin to express how thankful I am for Dr. Sparks service. He is very thorough, knowledgeable/experienced, caring! Dr Sparks reviewed my medical history and did a consult via video app. He asked me to monitor my condition and to call or text with any questions or concerns over the next week. I recommend Dr. Sparks and Poipu Mobile MD to anyone in need. First class service!! read more

My husband and I needed a PCR test for traveling. We booked appointments at CVS but with a 6-day turnaround we had to go elsewhere. Easily made an appointment online for a next day appointment at Poipu Mobile. Location was easy to find and had free and available parking. Doctor was friendly. Results came back within an hour. read more

I am very impressed and so thankful for Poipu Mobile MD. I've been here on Kauai for the past 4 days and happen to get an eye infection. Being from California and not knowing what my options were regarding my medical treatment I searched the internet and found Dr. Burris. I called the number and the woman who answered was very helpful and so pleasant and easy to deal with. Thank you very much for my treatment, I'm so relieved. I highly recommend Poipu Mobile MD. STELLAR SERVICE. read more

Great treatment! I was a walk in and seen within five minutes. The doctor was patient, thorough, and did not rush through the appointment. I could either take meds to go or pick them up. Very reasonable prices. I recommend them highly. read more

Dr. Burris promptly and expertly addressed a nasty infection that began on one of the toes on my right foot. He prescribed a medicated ointment and antibiotic pills. They did the trick! Infection cleared up within two days. He also is kind and friendly. read more

Thank you Dr. Burris for taking care of us! Our daughter experienced significant stomach issues (vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea), which led to slight dehydration while we were on vacation. The urgent care closest was 25 minutes away and that would have been a treacherous car ride! We called the Poipu Mobile MD and were able to go right away. They are located not far from the Hyatt, which was about 5 minutes away from us. Dr. Burris helped our daughter to get comfortable, get the medical information he needed quickly, and then administered an IV to our daughter so he could immediately start administering anti nausea medicine. Within 15 minute of our visit our daughter was able to rest and stop vomiting for the first time after 3 hours of being constantly sick. There was no rush to push us out of the office while the remaining IV liquids were given. Dr. Burris also provided us with a prescription for anti nausea medication via pill format in case she needed something after we left. Later that night, I had some questions, so I called and was able to speak directly with Dr. Burris. Dr. Burris also followed up calling us to see how our daughter was doing, and the entire family for that matter. It was incredibly convenient, very efficient and professional and just an overall positive experience. Dr. Burris also provided documentation for us to submit to our insurance for reimbursement and offered to write a dr. note for our adventure tour that we had to reschedule (though they - Kauai ATV - rescheduled without any issue). Thank you! read more

The poipu mobile MD was amazing!!! I visited their cute little office walking distance from our hotel. I just showed up at 8am and the staff and doctor saw me immediately! $200 flat fee so no future unexpected bills coming. The doctor went above and beyond in taking car of the bacterial infection in my ear. He recommended taking 5 days of antibiotics before flying so we extended our trip. He checked on me via text and saw me in person one more time to make sure I was able to safely fly. Amazing professional service I highly recommended. read more

I had no idea that housecalls were still a thing. But they are, and they're wonderful. I had a great vacation on Kauai, which I expected: the thing that blew our expectations away? Surprisingly, it was getting sutures. I sliced up my finger on a rock, pretty deeply and in a few places; I was able to slow the bleeding but every time I went to change the dressing it started bleeding again. I though about trying to find an urgent care or an ER to go to, but I didn't really want to sit in a waiting room all afternoon, so I was inclined to just keep it wrapped up and hope that it got better on its own. But my wife found Poipu Mobile MD online and gave them a call, where her call was answered immediately by an actual person (not a recording) and she was given prompt, professional treatment. The doctor could come by in 20-30 minutes, would that be okay? We hung up and chuckled because _of course_ that would be okay, but also _of course_ it wouldn't be 30 minutes. We're used to our big medical centers in Boston where they schedule your appointment 6 months out and then call the morning of your appointment to change it. Or you make your way to the ER to wait... and wait... and wait. Not this time. Dr Gregorius arrived, right on time, 30 minutes later. I hadn't even finished my lunch and he was ready to look at my finger. The visit itself was pleasant and professional - we chatted while we sat in my hotel and he sewed up my finger. It was exactly as I'd expect in an urgent care clinic or an ER, but it's happening 30 minutes after I called and it's happening in my hotel. How amazing is that? Dr Gregorius followed up later that day to make sure everything was going well (it was), and Dr Burris, who manages the practices, followed up a few days later as well. I could not possibly be happier. read more

Quick access, great rates, excellent bedside manner, Dr. Burris provided top notch care comparable to any urgent care or ER if not better. Skip those other urgent care places and go to mobile md! Thanks for the excellent service while we were on vaca for my frozen shoulder. read more

My father had a mishap at a swimming pool; he fell trying to keep someone else from getting injured (successfully). He got a fairly deep cut on his brow above one eye, a lesser cut on the bridge of his nose, and a scrape. I did a web search for "hospital", and the Poipu Mobile MD was one first link (except for an urgent care place that was closed). The web site listed conditions treated, which included lacerations. And they do house calls! I phoned for my father because he's a bit hard of hearing. Dr Burris answered the phone himself. Wow. I described the extent of the injury. The doctor asked whether there was any dizziness or loss of consciousness, and said that would need hospital care. No, fortunately. The doctor said he could be there in 20 minutes; is that OK? Wow. Not just OK, faster than we could get to the hospital (Wilcox), never mind how long it would take to actually see a doctor. I waited by the entrance to the parking lot, so the doctor wouldn't have trouble with the tricky parking. He arrived on time, and I recognized him from the picture on the web site. He unloaded a spiffy looking wheel bag full of medical supplies. I led him to my father, and he took a history (making sure there no conditions that would complicate treatment). My father would need to have the wounds cleaned and stitched up. The doctor needed good light to work, and I suggested the porch. How often does one get to watch a beautiful sunset on the beach while getting stitches? The doctor took out some supplies, set them on the deck table, and put on the blue gloves. (I'll skip all the medical details.) The doctor finished up with antibiotic ointment and adhesive bandages, and an explanation of after care. The final step was payment. He had a mobile credit card reader. The price was only $395 - less than the cost to say "Ah" in an emergency room - and Dr Burris would send a statement to my father's insurance so he could get reimbursed. Throughout the whole interaction, Dr Burris was polite, calm, friendly, and every other good thing one can say about a doctor's bedside (or in this case, beach-side) manner. Not long after Dr Burris left, we got a text message to recommend a tetanus shot if my father wasn't current. I replied that we'd look it up, and he said that the local drug store could do it if he did. My father phoned his primary care, and was all clear. I passed that on to the doctor, and he invited us to call if my father needed anything more. This is the best medical care experience I've ever observed. If you have the misfortune of a medical need Dr Burris can treat as the Mobile MD, we recommend him. He also works at a regular hospital emergency room, and I'm sure he's a great doctor there too. read more

Wow! Just to add to Edward T.'s review (hi husband!), the flat fee is listed on their website and it is 100% worth the price with the convenience and speed of the hotel-room treatment. We were even able to keep our plans for a couple of hours later to head up to Allerton Garden for a tour...no chance of that if we'd had to rent a car and head up to the clinic. If they had this service in Boston I'd choose it over an urgent care or emergency room visit any time! Easy 5 stars. read more

There is not a rating high enough to properly express how amazing Dr. Sparks and Poipu Mobile MD are. Jodee was so nice and helpful on the phone. Dr Sparks called and came to check on our 10 month old daughter. His assessment was thorough and that's coming from an ex-ICU nurse. He spent time explaining what he was thinking and his recommendations. Before he left he made sure we had enough tylenol/motrin and told us not to hesitate to call or text him if we had anymore questions. You really can't put a price on the piece of mind he provided. Thank you so much Dr Sparks and Poipu Mobile MD! read more

Amazing doctor and available to come to your location trust him with my children along with myself. If you need a medical attention it's better to have him come in and go sit in any waiting room in Hawaii. read more

This was an a outstanding and unexpected medical appointment. Like others, we were on holiday when a combination of factors made me get sick. It's no fun to be sick on holiday. The doctor's fee was reasonable and the appointment quick. He was able to ascertain nothing dire was wrong, but did prescribe a few medications (and extra rest). It put my mind at ease to know my symptoms were not alarming. Dr. Buriss was just about everything you could want in a physician-kind and empathetic and nimble and knowledgeable. I recommend him without any reservations and am glad and grateful for his care. read more

I had the best experience!! Impacted ears plus swimmers ear made for almost complete deafness ... I experienced great care and almost a 100% fix to the issue. This was like Norman Rockwell type care on the island! Highly recommended read more

I had a terrible sinus ingestion that I've been fighting for several weeks. What a great dr and family. So happy I was forced by my wife to go to the dr. He was very personable and I could have talked to him for hours. Thank you for the excellent service and old fashion care. read more

I was a little skeptical at first because I've never heard of a mobile doctor but I could not have been more pleased with this service. To be away from home and in need of a doctor is stressful. Especially in the evening when I realized my daughter needed to see a doctor and the urgent care clinic was closing in 20 minutes. This service brings a doctor to you AND with medication if needed. You don't have to leave to go to a pharmacy or anything! An ER visit or urgent care visit would have taken so much more time and caused a lot of frustration on vacation. The fee is reasonable and really isn't much considering what you get. Doctor Burris was awesome and extremely kind and professional. I would recommend him and this service to anyone!! read more

Needed a special license physical where I went before could not do it anymore could not get an appt within a timely matter called Dr Burris and was willing to see me same day made an appt for couple days later went in was prompt took me seriously and got it done the right way I would recommend his service to anyone read more

Saturday 6/8 at midnight, I am experiencing severe pain. By 3:00 am it is unbearable. I am traveling alone with my grandkids and cannot get them up, walk up 1/8 mile to my car, drive to a hospital. Most of the Clinics are open at 8:00 am. The first thing that popped up was Poipu Mobile MD, 40+ reviews, all five stars. I note that if I can deal with this pain until 8:00 am I can save $300. No. I decide to call at 3:00 am. Within 25 minutes Dr. Burris arrived at my Point at Poipu condo where he brought a urine test kit, made a quick evaluation that I had a bladder infection, gave me an antibiotic shot in my flank, gave me oral antibiotics, pain meds--(no, not Vicodin). I was finally able to sleep. I began to feel slightly worse by Saturday at 3:00 pm. A nurse brought me more pain meds. No extra fee! If I had gone an ER, it would have cost me $5000 just in Insurance deductible. For me it was the convenience. Thank you Dr Burris and your team at Poipu Mobile MD! read more

Dr. Burris was amazing! My husband hit his face on a rock while boogie boarding and needed to get stitches. We gave the doctor a call and went there immediately to get him stitched up. The whole process was easy and the service was exceptional. We were in and out very quickly (which wouldn't have been the case if we had to go to urgent care or the hospital). Although the injury was a bummer, Dr. Burris made it easy for us to get it taken care of so we could get back to enjoying our vacation. I would definitely recommend Dr. Burris and his services to anyone needing treatment. read more
