I have a long history of fear and anxiety related to the dentist, so this was the last place I…read morewanted to go ! I'm not talking about a little scared...I'm talking about the...I've seen a therapist and have taken anti-anxiety meds and still didn't make it to past appointments and haven't been to the dentist in over 10 years...kind of scared !! After dealing with a toothache for over a month, I decided it was time to take the plunge. After finding out which dentists took my insurance and reading dozens of reviews, I decided to go with Hawaii Family Dental. I can now say I definitely made the right decision ! I was honest with them from the start about my experiences and my fears, and not once did I feel belittled or looked down on for my fears..it was the opposite. I was handled with care and gently. As a grown man I should be embarrassed by this irrational fear, but I am not, I fully embrace the problem I have with the dentist! They took their time, explained everything in detail and made sure I knew what to expect every step of the way. I work in the healthcare field, so I have a preconceived notion of what a positive patient experience should entail, I can say this clinic exceeded my expectations. Rusty, Rowena and Chastity in the front are professional, always smiling, and make sure I know exactly what is happening with my appointments, my insurance coverage and co-pays; their smiles and greeting set the tone for the entire office. Dr Thomas is great, during the exam and with the work I've had so far, he has been professional and patient, he checks in with me often and makes me feel like he actually cares about me while in his chair. His assistant, Emily, is just as great. She checked in just as often and got me talking about life in general, great at distracting me while she was doing what she had to do. I had to have a deep cleaning ( of course I did, ugh ), and my hygienist, Christy, was great from the moment I sat in her chair, nervous as hell !! She could tell and made me forget about what was happening in no time! Can't say Thank You enough to the crew at Hawaii Family Dental - Kihei for making it such a positive experience ! You've got a new regular patient here !

AI had gone there to see Dr. Hello for about 3 years. They took my insurance. All was good until…read moreshe did a crown and a bridge. The anchor tooth, was bad and should have not been used, and filled or pulled before hand. The whole bridge and a new front tooth crown had to be redone within 2 months. They redid it and had to use the new.,crowned tooth as the anchor tooth. Then they told me insurance would not pay for it. However, the insurance company said they did, and gave me the billing info. They said the bridge was not done correctly. Then their billing office charged me for a whole new bridge, front teeth, and would not talk to the insuran,e company, or give them their dental notes. I had to file a comp!ain't with the state and that's hard. Dr.Hello would not correct it and just said she does t do the billing. the same time she did a partial that another dentist looked at and said it was terrible partial. The insurance doesn't pay for things twice Hawaii Family Dental keeps trying g to make MT pay for the bridge at$3100. The amount kept changing, and the partial was paid for at $900. Only they can redo it. The billing office said the insurance co. doesn't pay for porcelin bridges, but they do,and it's in their coverage I was sent. Now Hawaii Family Dental will not get back to an advocate or send them their billing details. Now one of the teeth under the porcelin bridge has decayed under and through the bridge acter only 14 months. Another dentist said it was not sealed correctly and go back to them, but Dr. Mello won't guarantee her work. This is serious since I need hip surgery and I need a dental c!earance for surgery and can't get one because of the infection under the bridge. I am worried about my hea!th and life, as dental work can affect the rest of the body. Don't go to this corp. dentist. I've been on Maui for 26 years, and now I have to fight this some how. I looked at the state website and they have 7 complaints in 3 years. ​

When you find a professional who knows their profession and treats their customers well, you have…read morereally found someone to be treasured. That is exactly what I have found in all the professionals who work at Dr. Melanie Vallejos' dental offices. For the past 19 years, I have seen Nora for my dental hygiene and periodic cleanings. Nora is THE BEST. She is delightful to know as a person and she takes great care of my teeth. She really knows her stuff and always does a thorough job cleaning my teeth and letting me know how I can improve my dental health. Because Nora does such a great job taking care of my cleanings, I rarely need to have cavities filled, or any complicated dental work done by Dr. Vallejos. But on those occasions that I have needed dental work from the doctor, I will say that I actually have enjoyed it. Melanie is always careful to make sure she is not causing me any discomfort. Just sitting there in the chair and watching her and Mara work on my teeth is like watching a master watchmaker and her apprentice build a watch. They are so precise and compassionate in the work they do. I always feel confident that my teeth are being given the very best dental care possible. I am sure, like everyone that Melanie, Nora and Mara have days when they feel down and things are not going their way, but you would never know it from how delightful they are when you come to their offices. A real professional group, who are truly a treasure to me. You cannot go wrong getting your teeth cared for here. But please, keep it our secret, because I want to be able to get an appointment whenever I need it.

Yo! My crown came off while eating on the plane to Maui. Super stressful! It wasn't painful but it…read moremade eating uncomfortable and didn't seem like a good idea for my vacation. I had Wi-Fi so I searched up emergency dentist" in Kahului even though I was going to West Maui. This place looked good and super close to the airport. While I was still on my flight, they told me they could squeeze me in when I landed. Meanwhile I texted them my insurance card and they gave me an appointment and said if I was late I could go between patients. When I got there, I only had to wait a few minutes before I was taken back to see Dr. Lena! She was so nice as was her dental assistant and the receptionists. She saw that in fact it was not only my crown that came off... but also part of my tooth! So she told me to make sure to see my dentist at home when I get home, and she took a picture to send him. Within a few minutes, she had cleaned off my crown and then she carefully and skillfully put it back on and cemented it. And they take Delta Dental! I paid $120 on top of what insurance covered, but it was totally worth it. The errand to come here from the airport only took about 30 minutes, and then I could start vacation. This is an incredibly thorough and responsive office. I'm so glad I found them on Yelp and they could set me up while I was still on the plane. Dr. Lena is super nice also and makes a patient feel at ease. Highly recommended, even if you're not going to start your vacation this way lol!

Sierra and Tasha totally hooked me up and got me an appointment next day - huge!! Shaina and Angel were awesome and made me feel super comfortable as soon as I walked in and Dr. Lena was amazing! She took the time to figure out why my tooth broke, explained my options for a repair clearly and in-depth and empowered me to decide how to fix it the best way for me. I couldn't ask for a better team- Kahului Dental ALWAYS comes through for me with great dental care at a fair price from a compassionate team you should trust. I always do. Mahalo!

Need a dependable, experienced dentist to do your root canal? Look no further- you have hit the…read moredental jackpot with Dr. Stuart Wisotzky! I understand why he is in demand and needs to split his time between Maui and the Kona side of the Big Island- he's that good! My teeth are very important to me, so when I had a toothache on a problem tooth that already had a porcelain cap- a molar that had three damaged roots, a crack, some calcification, and a possible infection, I went searching. I discovered, as with doctors, that not all dentists are there to help you; some are there to make money by heading directly to the processes and expensive procedures that are going to line their pockets, but may not be what is best for you. Imagine my delight upon discovering a compassionate dental professional who listened to my story and history, explained each and every facet of my options, and promptly tackled my complicated root canal with care, skill, and humor! It is true that during my hour and a half procedure, I burst out several times with, "I'm so happy!" Imagine feeling that way during a root canal! Go ahead- infer away! And he was even able to refill the entry point in my existing crown and save me the expense of a pricey replacement! 5 stars out of 5 stars! Dr. Stuart Wisotzky is my new hero.

Stuart Wisotzky, DMD, is a kind, amazing and a charismatic dentist. I wasn't looking forward to a…read moreroot canal nor the recovery time however I was made to immediately feel welcome and cared for, most importantly, he listens. Dr. Wiz and his staff are superior and I couldn't be more grateful that this pain is gone. I would highly recommend Stuart Wisotzky, DMD and the team at Hawaii Family Dental Center. Professional, courteous, and affordable. Thank you so very much!
