She was obviously incredibly knowledgeable, took her time with me and made sure that all of my questions and concerns were addressed and acted upon She found a couple little spots. I was not even aware of and took the appropriate measures to make sure they were nothing serious. This was my first time at this clinic and I am very pleased. My last clinic was the premier clinic on Oahu and I did not get nearly the same attention and personal care as I received here. So far I would say I highly recommend them.

My initial experience was good. The original doctor who treated me left and they had a "physician…read moreassistant" see me for a follow-up. The follow-up communication was not very good and I was left confused about why they were insisting on additional treatment that I had not requested. My impression was that they were trying to "milk" my insurance provider for everything they could get. I canceled a further follow-up appointment. They then sent me a registered letter that was somewhat threatening that I was endangering my health by not allowing them to treat me. I did send them a response letter in which I agreed to one additional visit so that they could review what had been done. I specified how I wished to be contacted but, after several weeks, they have not responded.

I look forward to an ongoing return to Dr. Monica and Stephanie for an additional skin review. Thanks to everyone at the clinic.

The front desk, far from being snarky or unpleasant, are instead full of smiles and kindness and have always been fast and helpful. At least that has been my experience at every single one of my visits and never have I noticed any example where the spirit of aloha was missing. I have been cared for at every visit by APRN Brenda Kemp, who has been nothing short of spectacular. She has a sense of humor but is also gentle and careful. With me she has always been unbelievably personable and never stuffy or disrespectful in any way, but quite to the contrary treated me like a human being, and that has meant a lot to me. I have lost count of the number of times I've been to doctor's offices and been treated like a dirty sock. It's so nice to have a medical professional smile with you and treat you with dignity. That's why I just really could not relate to any of those negative reviews at all. I'm very sorry that the other patients had a bad experience and I wish their medical issues had been resolved in a better way. I can only say that my own problems have been addressed very well and I am very happy with this medical office. It is very easy for me to give them five stars.

Dr. Hiranaka did an excellent job, throughly explained everything and always made me feel comfortable.

I was really concerned that it would remain that way for ever, but Dr. Hiranaka stepped up, did a fascinating "gum grafting procedure" that worked, problem resolved !

She did NOT treat me... after hours of waiting and being shuttled into different rooms. I was asked by multiple staff why I was there despite the fact she had reports from a referring biopsy that was done out of state. When she finally graced my with her presence and asked why I was there, I had lost all confidence- I told her I had already told 3 of her staff why and i had been there for hours.
