We are so grateful we found Dr. Sparks during our family vacation in Kauai. We first contacted him…read morefor our daughter, and from the very beginning he was incredibly thorough, patient, and educational. He took the time to explain her symptoms, the possible causes, and why he was recommending each medication, making sure we understood everything before starting treatment. A couple of days later, my husband developed painful bumps after snorkeling off the Nā Pali Coast. Dr. Sparks was able to diagnose it from photos as a Portuguese man o' war sting. My niece had the same reaction, and he helped her as well. Once again, he took the time to educate us about the local marine life, the toxins involved, what symptoms to watch for, and how the prescribed medications would help. I especially appreciated how thoughtful and cautious he was with the medications he prescribed. What really sets Dr. Sparks apart is that he truly cares. He reminded me of the kind of village doctor everyone hopes to find--knowledgeable, compassionate, reassuring, and willing to spend the time you need. His mobile service was incredibly convenient. Both my daughter and my husband felt noticeably better very quickly. If you're on Kauai and need medical care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sparks. He provided exceptional care and gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home.

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!!!!

I came to live in Kauai when I was 8 months pregnant with my second daughter- I was freaked out about getting a new Obstetric doctor. I had a c-section previously with my first daughter. This is a big surgery and quiet scary to me because there are so many layers that they need to take time in sewing back up. Dr. Littler, upon my second c-section, removed excess scar tissue from my first c-section. She is highly respected here on the island. I was referred to her by a friend on this island as I was scared to get a new OBGYN so far into my pregnancy. She is a very forward, humorous and engaging doctor- clearly an expert in her field.

So, a couple years ago I had a terrible pap from my primary care physician. It was awkward,…read moreuncomfortable, and a long story that I will have to tell you in person. Anyhow, the only relief after was that I didn't need to go back to get another pap for another year. So, as you can imagine, of course something was wrong, and my PCP referred me to Dr. Littler. Dr Littler was AMAZING, she was so personable and funny and really made me feel at ease! I was grateful to see her and not have another horror story to tell. I have since seen her and her Nurse Practitioner and been more then comfortable to go go regularly instead of skipping a year or two ;) Now that I am pregnant I knew I wanted Dr. Littler to be my OBGYN, however, I discovered that when you go for prenatal at KMC you rotate between the 4 doctors so that whoever is on call when you go into labor is the one that delivers your baby. I am open to it and we shall see how it goes. Linds

I agree heartily with the other Yelp reviews. Dr Lanson takes the time to sit down and figure out…read morewhat your medical needs are. He's equally invested in using laboratory tests, and medical technology, MRI, EEG, etc. He's had the medical experience at Queen's Hospital of urban Hawaii multi-ethnic and here on Kaua'i for the past decade plus. Regretfully, the one phone the clinic uses requires patience to navigate but you will be rewarded with a pleasant human being once you get through. You will not be able to leave a message and carry on with your day, but will have to persist in calling. As was said previously you will be able to see him within the week but not always that day. If your medical condition allows you to wait he's worth it!

Dr Lanson has been my Primary Care Physician for most of my adult life (with the exception of when…read moreI was on the mainland). He practices medicine with much care for his patients. Dr Lanson is still old school--in a good way! You don't find many physicians that still do hands on examinations. Some of the newer physicians I've seen in practice are very hands off. Dr Lanson's schedule is a busy one, but I feel that I am able to get an appointment with him in the same week that I call. It may not be the same day, but they try to accommodate you to the best of their ability. He sees patients in Lihue Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and half day on Friday. On Thursday, he is in their Princeville clinic, serving the residents of the north shore of Kaua'i as well as visitors that need to be seen for any unforeseen circumstance while on vacation but not needing emergency room services.

Very dissappointing. Having moved back home I needed to find a new primary care physician. My…read morefamily recommended that I see Dr. Williamson since they think highly of him. I had my initial appointment in January, but only after I was screened over the phone for any serious medical issues, which thankfully I am a relatively healthy person, otherwise I'd be out of luck. Seems to be the going trend now for health care. As long as you don't have any health issues you can be accepted as a new patient. At my first appointment there ever, I was asked to pay my copayment prior to even seeing the doctor, which I thought was pretty tacky. I guess it didn't matter whether service was provided first or even if I wanted to continue seeing the doctor. So much for bedside manners. Like the "Type A" person that I am, I brought all of my medications with me for the clinic to document to make sure they had accurate information for my refills. The nurse wrote them down in the computer and we even went in depth about one of them. I met with Dr. Williamson and he was a very good listener and had good credentials (Punahou grad, etc.) and he was also very honest, helpful, and direct, which I appreciate. My problem with KMC is not with Dr. Williamson, but with his staff. I have had so many issues with my medical records, communication, and tasks needed in such a short amount of time, that unfortunately, I am shopping around for a more efficient clinic. And, I really liked Dr. Williamson too! These are the problems I have faced with this clinic: -Inaccurate documentation of my presciptions despite bringing in my medication. -lack of urgency in refilling my presciptions. Pharmacy reported to me it was not received for over a week or two (I had to email the office to remind them). -playing phone tag: nurse will leave a message but nothing specific for me to respond to. -lack of urgency in sending important documents to other treating physicians who need the forms prior to medical appointments off island. -lack of good communication in-house. Information/tasks provided to receptionist was not relayed to or comprehended accurately by other staff members, which delayed other medical procedures (I provided fax numbers, yet I get phone calls for the fax number again). -lack of good customer service. Even though I hand-delivered a form for a signature I needed from the doctor for an Oahu appointment, which he was aware of receiving, the office staff refused to ask him to sign it because he was with a patient (It's one signature for crying out loud!). The signature would have been completed in 2 seconds and I could have faxed the form myself to Oahu. I just found out its been a week and half and it's still has not been received. Ugh! So, you can see my frustration with this clinic. I could possibly be the only person that has this issue here, but I doubt that I am an anomaly. I hope that this review helps others when they are looking for good heathcare. Support staff is an integral part in how an office/clinic runs and it is unfortunate that these issues occur because they are fixable. I hope that the clinic is able to make positive changes to their practice if they become aware of this review.
