I am incredibly thankful that I found Dr Teramura. I had been struggling with intense ankle/heel…read morepain for a few months that my pcp couldn't help with. There were days I could barely walk. I found Dr T here and after reading the reviews decided to call for an appointment. Scheduling was easy. His receptionist is super friendly and efficient. His office is centrally located in Kailua with lots of parking options nearby. Upon arrival there were a few short forms to fill out and then it was time to see the doc. Right on time, by the way. Dr Teramura is absolutely amazing in every way! He is knowledgeable, patient and sympathetic. He was able to identify my problem in a few short minutes and came up with a plan to help relieve the pain in a way that worked with my busy lifestyle. Not only did he discuss treatment options but he also got to know me and shared some of his personal stories as well. I had several follow up visits, each time seeing improvements. This last visit was my last visit. My condition has greatly improved and I am able to continue doing the work at home to heal completely. Yes, I was sad to "graduate" from his care but if I ever need a podiatrist again, I know exactly who I'll be seeing. Big mahalos to Dr Teramura!

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.

After my 2 weeks in Japan where I often hit 20,000 steps daily and ate very well, came back home…read moreand shortly after, noticed my right foot sore. How sore do you ask? It was unbearable this past weekend where I took Ibuprofen for the discomfort. I previously have been under the care of Dr. Ricky Sukita so I called the office first thing Monday morning and was advised Dr. Sukita's first opening is not until in April. I was offered the option to see Dr. Andrew Cheng, who was available and snagged the next appointment at 845am. Located in the same office as Dr. Sukita on the 11F of Kuakini Physician's Tower, Dr. Cheng is also a board certified podiatrist. After confirming which area of my right foot experiencing discomfort, Dr. Cheng performed an assessment of various tests for mobility and sensitivity. I was initially shocked when diagnosed with a mild case of gout. But then recalled about 10 years ago when my PCP mentioned my uric acid level was on the high side and back then had also experienced excruciating sharp pain on my toe. I also had eaten very well in Japan, especially chowing down on deep fried Hiroshima oysters on multiple occasions, Gyukatsu from Motomura and my AYCE shabu shabu dinner. Yikes... Dr, Cheng advised I'd be put on oral medicine to be taken daily to ease the pain and to watch my intake. He had his staff arrange my medication pickup at my location choice where it was ready for pickup within a few hours. Shortly after taking Colchicine, the pinkness of the flare up disappeared and was able to apply more pressure on my right foot. Overall, an excellent first experience with Dr. Cheng. I was able to get the medical attention needed and received the care and direction for recovery. He was easy to speak with and understand my situation where I need to be careful on my diet as well as address this issue when I meet with my PCP for my regular annual physical in a few months.

Pros: Efficient…read morescheduling: The clinic's operations are well-organized, and they can often accommodate patients quickly with same-day appointments. Prompt rooming: I was taken to an exam room almost immediately upon arrival. Cons: Unprofessional bedside manner: While I was explaining the intense pain in my right foot, Dr. Cheng interrupted me to take a phone call and stepped out of the room. When he returned, he offered no explanation or apology, leaving me with the impression that he was unconcerned with my care. Lack of clear communication: He provided very little explanation for my condition, simply stating I had "boney spurs on both feet," handed me some pads, and rushed me out of the office. I ultimately had to seek care from another podiatrist to get the proper treatment and answers I needed. Poor billing practices: The billing department is highly disorganized. I was seen in September 2025, but I did not receive a bill until 7 months later in April 2026. The statement indicates that my insurance company communicated what I owed back in November 2025. It is incredibly frustrating and confusing why it took the office so long to send the bill after that information was already provided. Summary: I had high expectations for this office based on positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience fell short. The lack of patient care and communication, combined with a disorganized billing department, makes it difficult to recommend this practice.

I called in to make an…read moreappointment and after asking if I can be seen today because I was in pain, they were able to accommodate me. That alone was a great sign for me because I was in so much pain. The office seems small from the outside but it really quite spacious. First thing you notice is how clean and neat everything is, but also very inviting. That goes for the exam room too. Unlike some offices where you see a lot of people waiting, I was the only one at that time. That's because Dr. Watanabe really takes the time to explain and go over everything with you. She takes time to answer questions, and also working with you to find the best solution for you. I definitely left the appointment more informed of what I needed to do and what I needed to expect in terms of recovery, and for me it means no exercise until further notice. But in the name of getting better. You gotta do what you gotta do.

12/17/2025 Happy holidays! Went a couple days ago to see Dr. Kristy for a pre-op appointment…read more She is a very sweet and patient doctor who was able to answer many of my questions about what to expect. She informed me that she would remove the joint on my third toe and try to stitch it up as best she could. Sadly removing the joint will leave my toe flapping. I was grossed out but...Hopefully it is better than a tiny blister looking bubble that doesn't subside. Guess when I go out in public I should wear covered footwear vs slippers or open sandals as needed. I was self conscious for anyone to see it especially my pedicure person. I had gone and showed both my doctor and dermatologist prior. My previous appointment Dr. Kristy suggested using a Kleenex and pressing on it... stayed the same. Last straw was when I went to the dentist, you prop your feet up. She always comments on my holiday nails and the assistant saw that bubble. Ugh. *** I am now Waiting on her front desk two ladies to get back to me with a surgery date and check in time for January 2026 since Monday. Dr. Kristy's regular surgery days are Fridays. I shared with the front desk ladies: The sooner in the month hopefully right after the New Year since need my toe to heal before the biggest trip of my entire life comes up in spring. I also met a pretty med student who entered the examining room. She introduced herself as Dr. Chun's daughter who I've seen before years ago. She said Dr. Kristy would be in shortly. Have a merry Christmas 2025

No vital signs were needed. She thanked us for our patience since we waited for a while to be seen. Dr. Chun was very patient, gentle, and thorough. We found out that he graduated from Pearl City High School and went to San Francisco for college - that's why he's a Giants' fan... he has a lot of memorabilia in the waiting room's display case! I'd recommend Dr. Chun... he has a great personality, is knowledgeable and efficient, and has a fun sense of humor!
