    Staff is nice. Dr Birch is nice. But from my visit he was a very hands off doctor.. spoke vaguely…read moreabout my injury without really giving me a solid answer or making me feel secure about things. Id get a second opinion if you see Dr Birch first. I saw another podiatrist on island that went above and beyond to explain things and help me out.. maybe I caught Dr birch on an off day or lazy day or maybe I wasn't taken seriously because I'm not old & cripple.

    Initially, when I went to the Island Foot Specialist I had a good appointment. Actually, this…read moredoctor's office is one of the nicest. The doctor was knowledgeable and gave me a couple of options for treatment. They even had samples of the medication he prescribed so I could start treatment immediately, while I got my prescription filled. Unfortunately, as I would find out this appointment and treatment is where the good experience turned into a multi-month issue dealing with the lack of support staff to get a prescription pre-auth approved. While you wouldn't think that insurance pre-authorization should be a big issue, with this office and the processes they have in place took 2 months for the nurse to even submit the pre-auth to the insurance. The bottleneck is one person to submit the pre-auth paperwork and she said they were short-staffed. After I contacted the office to find out what other solutions are available the nurse said that the reason the pre-auth was denied was that I needed a test that she said: "The test was not available on the island of Maui". She said I had an option to appeal the pre-auth denial but I would need to fill that out myself and submit it to the insurance company. I stated in the appeal to the denial of the pre-auth that it was a catch-22 because the test they needed to approve the prescription was not available here on Maui. after submitting the appeal I get a call from the insurance company that the information provided by the nurse was incorrect and there is a place to get the test in Kihei. The insurance company said that the doctor's office will contact me with a referral. This never happened and after a week I called the office and they said the referral would be to the doctor, which they didn't provide to me or the doctor's office. Because of the office's misinformation, incorrect prescription pre-auth submitted by the doctor's office, and not responding to the insurance company in a timely fashion, I just got the denial to the appeal from the insurance company. At this point, I am done with this office and will try another doctor that has an office that is better able to support their clients.

    When your body speaks to you, listen. Especially when you get older…read more I'm on my feet a lot and have experienced several foot/leg issues where eventually it was resolved. But step in diabetes, where overlooking issues under this condition can be tragic. Just last week at my part time job, a customer came in and I recognized his voice as he's a regular. But I didn't immediately recognize him as he lost a lot of weight and clearly had mobility issues. When I blurted out his name, indeed it was him. He told me he was diabetic and ignored a toe injury where a life-changing procedure slowed him down. For a couple of weeks now, I had what seemed like a blister on one of my toes where it now became 2. It was painful to walk in shoes and when I showed it to family members where one is doing her residency at a large hospital and my sister has been an RN for over 30 years, was told it could be either a blister, callous or wart. I, too, am diabetic and fears crossed my mind. My sister strongly suggested I have it investigated immediately. Step in Ricky Sukita (RS). RS is a podiatrist who has been in practice for over 35 years. Located in Kuakini Physician's Exchange, the office of RS is on the 11th floor. It was so nice to make an appointment where his staff immediately answered the phone when I called. Their records show this wasn't my first time to the office, but I was impressed on the service and professionalism extended to me. I addressed to the staff of my issue and after confirming my address and health insurance plan, I was escorted to an empty office where several minutes later RS showed up. Words cannot express my relief where it was disclosed my issue was callous development. I've had warts before where it was painful and took a long time to resolve. After assessing my regular work and leisure regimen, RS explained of my current condition and how this came all about. He also advised me how to handle this situation and provided me with protection. I appreciated how he informed me and educated me where I understood and didn't feel incompetent that led to my condition. Overall, solid 5-stars to RS and his staff. From making the appointment to walking out of the office after my appointment, there weren't hassles nor stress. I understand RS is taking new patients. If you're looking for a podiatrist, look no further.
