I was historically seeing another provider for my TMJ, however I decided to consult with my PCM to…read moreinquire if I'd be cleared to receive a referral so that my insurance could cover most, if not all, of the expenses. After getting evaluated for a medically necessary diagnosis, I am currently on the books to see Dr. Mark Tasaki. I had an appointment to see him at 8am, however upon arrival, their blinds were drawn shut, no signage provided on the door that they were open for business, zero operating hours available anywhere. I thought I might have marked my calendar wrong. Checked their website, and the hours of operation indicated was 9am-4pm. Waited outside for an hour. 5 minutes before 9, walked in and a women upstairs asked for my name. She stated my appointment was at 8am. I explained my situation but they had to reschedule me. I've worked in a hospital and I know and respect their punctuality policy, so that was fine to rebook me. What made it upsetting was that their website had erroneous hours and when I brought that to her attention, she gave me a bizarre excuse. She wasn't even apologetic about anything either. She also claimed that she left me a message, but I guess it deleted itself then since I didn't get it? When I exited, I promptly rechecked their website and lo and behold, they changed the hours to reflect the correct time. I have given them a 3 star for my initial interaction, could have been a 1 star to be honest, but since I didn't meet with the doctor and had not received a full service, I won't pass immediate judgement off the face time I had with the receptionist.

I also had joint and back pain and was even tested for arthritis in my teens. I had never heard of TMJ until a family friend suggested we meet with Mark. With incredible knowledge and patience, concern and care, he treated my family and myself; we learned that our condition was not a permanent sentence. It has now been over 20 years and my family and I have a better quality of life thanks to Mark. Dr Tasaki is a leading expert in the field (yet the most humble); I live in NY now and still go back for adjustments anytime I am in Hawaii because there is truly no one like him. We are so incredibly grateful to Dr. Mark and his family!!

I went for my first consultation today and let me tell you, they use a lot of newer high tech technology, they are extremely thorough with checking each tooth and explaining what's going on, they not only share with people verbally but also show you what they're looking at on the tv screen as well. The hygienist, Janet, was so so nice and gentle - I really loved getting to know her better. And Dr. Koga was so personable, knowledgeable, and made me feel heard which is super important to me. Because they are so thorough you do need to come in quite a few times but I will say that they'll help create a customized plan for you on how to best take care of your teeth and the maintenance that comes with it. Definitely would recommend!

We took the flight anyway and upon landing I randomly called a dentist, who himself recommended Dr. Kashiwada. He took us in immediately though he was otherwise booked. His care, compassion, obvious skill, and amazing follow-up, was unique in all my nearly seven decades. He is a clinician. He is an expert, on licensing boards, and it is a delight to be in his caring company. He allows you to enjoy a dental visit! We had never met him but immediately felt as though he had been our dentist for decades. He called us several times to be sure we could enjoy our time in Hawaii without concern for the tooth that he skillfully repaired and was our Guardian Angel. We never expected so skillful, so kind and caring, and so wise a practitioner, as we were simple transient visitors. So, how do you define a hero? Visit Dr. Kashiwada and see.

I've been a patient of Dr. Yew's for many years, with only a brief break when I moved away. During…read morethat time, I tried several other aesthetic providers, and it only reinforced what I already knew: Dr. Yew is truly in a league of his own. He is professional, knowledgeable, caring, approachable, and has a great sense of humor that immediately puts you at ease. He takes the time to answer every question honestly and always recommends what is in your best interest rather than what will generate the biggest bill. There are never long waiting times, and his team consistently goes above and beyond to provide outstanding service and the best value possible. One thing I've learned from visiting other clinics is that attractive promotions don't always translate into quality care. Many places will impress you during your first visit, only for the experience to decline afterward--long waits, inconsistent pricing, questionable treatment amounts, and results that simply don't deliver. I've seen it all. What sets Dr. Yew apart is that he combines medical expertise with artistic talent. Having a degree doesn't automatically make someone exceptional at what they do. In aesthetics, technical knowledge is only half the equation--the other half is artistry. Dr. Yew has both. He understands balance, proportion, and natural-looking results better than anyone I've encountered. Every time I leave his office, I look refreshed, never overdone. About a week later, I catch my reflection and wonder how I managed to look five years younger. After experiencing many providers over the years, I can confidently say this: if your face matters to you, don't shop for the cheapest deal--shop for the best hands. For me, that's Dr. Yew. I'm so glad to be back. Thank you, Dr. Yew!

After getting a root canal on a tooth that had suffered from a traumatic fall and landed on my…read moremouth, I found myself still experiencing extreme sensitivity on that tooth a couple of weeks later after the root canal. I reached out to my dentist and as advised, made a follow up appointment with the endodontist. It was before the New Year's and understand the challenges of scheduling appointments during the holidays but was able to secure an appointment with Dr. Howard Kang at their Aiea office within the first week of January. Located of the 1F of Westridge Shopping Center in Aiea, this is one of the four Hawaii Endodontics LLC (HE) offices. The other 3 are located in Kailua, Kapolei and in Honolulu (Hale Pawaa). I arrived just before my scheduled appointment where the female receptionist checked me in. She was friendly and made me feel at ease which was much appreciated when I've been concerned about my tooth with uncertainty. I didn't sit down more than 5 minutes before the dental assistant called my name and escorted me to an examination room. This assistant is a seasoned staff where not only professionally, she engaged conversation personally and made me feel comfortable. She commented on my Trader Joe's mini tote bag and how she was gifted one but ended up giving it away to her relative who really adored them. Shortly after, Dr. Howard Kang came into the room to assess my condition. He commented on how my lip healed nicely and proceeded to conduct several tests to determine my teeth condition. To our delight my teeth responded well by not experiencing any pain. I advised Dr. Kang that it's just a little sensitive which is natural after the trauma I experienced. I'm to allow more time for the tooth to settle and heal. My next follow up appointment is in 6 months with Dr. Kang. For the time being I'm advised to avoid using that tooth to chew and to allow more time to settle and heal. In closing, I'm very pleased with HE for such great professionals and staff who take care of me. They have been educational yet sincere and supportive in my recovery process. 2026 #5

5 stars -- Root canal redemption! I never thought I'd be…read morewriting a positive review about needing a root canal, but here we are -- all thanks to Dr. Shaikh and the amazing team at Hawaii Endodontics. I'd never had a cavity before, so when my general dentist told me I had a big one that likely needed a root canal, I was honestly in disbelief -- and pretty anxious. The words "root canal" alone had me imagining the worst. Thankfully, a trusted friend referred me to Dr. Shaikh for a second opinion, and I'm so grateful they did. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt cared for. The front desk staff greeted me warmly, and Lynn, the nurse, was an absolute angel. She noticed I was nervous (even though I tried to play it cool!) and immediately made me feel comfortable -- offering me water and making sure I had everything I needed. Dr. Shaikh was kind, calming, and incredibly clear in explaining what was going on with my poor tooth (spoiler: it was super infected) and what my options were. He made the whole thing make sense without overwhelming me. When we decided to go ahead with the root canal, my anxiety started creeping back in -- but it was short-lived. Honestly? It wasn't scary at all. Dr. Shaikh made sure I was fully numb, checked in with me frequently during the procedure, and adjusted things if I felt even a hint of discomfort. And best of all -- it didn't hurt. At all. After the procedure, he walked me through everything he found (infection: gnarly, but conquered!) and explained my aftercare clearly. I had mild soreness once the numbing wore off, but the ibuprofen he prescribed took care of it easily. The aloha spirit is real at this clinic. I never felt rushed, never felt like "just another patient." Everyone there genuinely cared. Even the music was calming -- and Lynn's soothing singing voice could be its own Spotify playlist. :) I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do, I'm 100% going back to Dr. Shaikh. He and the team turned a scary situation into a totally manageable, even positive, experience. So much mahalo to the whole Hawaii Endodontics crew!
