I had called several times over the period of 2-3 weeks without having my call answered. I understand that they are probably busy and may also be understaffed so that is actually not my complaint about the Waimea Kauai Community Health Center/Ho'ola Lahui Hawaii; it was the poor front desk service. I'm from here, but have never gone to this clinic before. From what I had seen on their website, it seemed like it was open to anyone in the community, which is why I wanted to try scheduling an appointment there in the first place. I called one last time (with the intention of going directly to try to schedule an appointment), when the call was answered. Happy to have gotten in touch with someone, I politely inquired about scheduling an appointment. The receptionist was impatient and rude (when I said that neither of the doctors were my primary care physician, she snapped "You do know we're in Waimea, right?"), which was disappointing considering it is part of Ho'ola's mission to be a "model health care system distinguished by people, quality, and service." It seemed like it was a hassle for the receptionist to ask me the few simple questions that she did, and it felt like I was doing her an inconvenience by calling. Disappointed by the lack of aloha at this "community" health center.

She really examined each tooth thoroughly. She explained everything. I will go back for my work to be done soon. SAMANTHA gave me the best tooth cleaning I ever had in my life. She is a perfectionist and really has a command on her skill. She must be doing this for a long time because she knows how to clean teeth better than anyone I've ever been to and I've been to the best Dentist and Hygentist in Honolulu. SO very impressed with this dental team. And the xray tech and girls at the desk are very professional and nice.

Be wary... Dr. Allen did not have the ozone therapy I came in to see him for in the office, so he…read morelooked for something else he could do. Even though I told him the ozone was helping to heal the odd sensation in my jaw and I wanted that treatment he said he didn't think that's what was needed then proceeded to adjust my neck and injure me. I've had neck adjustments from excellent chiropractors and his was completely off - I knew something was wrong immediately but hoped for the best. He continued to diagnose me and prescribe all kinds of supplements and when I went to pay it was $330! I have talked to another person who had a bad experience with him as well. Before coming in to see Dr. Allen I could sleep in any position happily with no problems, for 6 weeks now I've had to sleep on my back. Sitting has also been more challenging, certain angles cause pain so I have to be careful how I hold my body when I sit, something I've never had to do before. There are certain activities I have been avoiding as well so as not to stress or strain my neck. I've been working with an excellent chiropractor and getting massage and cranio sacral therapy which has helped it heal a-lot, but it's still not 100%. He may be good at certain things, but I personally do not think he should be doing chiropractic adjustments, and most importantly I did not go to see him for adjustments! I went in for something specific that he didn't have then he decided to mess with my neck, which still hurts 6 weeks after my appointment with lots of money spent on trying to fix it. I so wish I never stepped into his office....

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.

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.

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
