All-around topnotch care. And when I say care, they CARE. Dr. Jeff, Dawn, Jess, everyone…read morereally...are warm, genuine people who happen to provide dental services. They're so wonderful that I feel a tiny bit guilty when I admit to not flossing regularly. Even my husband doesn't want to disappoint them lol Some niceties that they offer: warm face towels, neck pillows, a bidet! And notary service too! They run like clockwork...I am never waiting long in the lobby or in the exam chair. My husband and I are fortunate to be in their care. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some flossing to do.

After my dentist passed away a couple of years ago, I had a difficult time finding another dentist…read moreI could connect with. I had been with my previous dentist for over 15 years, and I believe having a good relationship with your dentist is important. You may only see them twice a year or during an emergency, but you want someone who knows you and genuinely cares. I tried a couple of dentists but never felt comfortable. Then I came across an ad featuring Dr. Jeff Miyazawa and decided to give his practice a try. He is in Kaneohe and I live in Ewa, so it is definitely a drive--but he is absolutely worth it. From the beginning, his staff made me feel welcome and comfortable, especially Christine. She is incredibly friendly, warm, and helpful. She listened to my concerns and carefully explained all of my options without making me feel pressured or judged. Dr. Miyazawa was also very personable and seemed genuinely interested in helping me. For years, I had a small chip in one of my front teeth. It may have seemed minor, but it was noticeable to me in pictures and affected how I felt about my smile. Another dentist had previously repaired it, but the repair did not last very long. Yesterday, Dr. Miyazawa repaired my two front teeth, and I could immediately see the difference in the level of care. He was extremely meticulous. He did not simply cover the chip and send me on my way. He made sure my smile looked balanced, also worked on my bottom teeth, and paid close attention to every detail. This was definitely not a rushed ten-minute job. I am so grateful to Dr. Miyazawa and his staff. I feel more confident, and I finally love my smile again. It feels like he gave me back the smile I used to have. I highly recommend him--especially if you are looking for a dentist who is skilled, caring, personable, and truly listens. The drive from Ewa to Kaneohe is worth it!

Dr. Hayashi is truly the best! I absolutely love him and will continue to see him no matter how far…read morethe drive. I've been his patient for over a decade, making him by far the longest medical relationship I've had. I've always said that if life ever took either of us away from beautiful Hawai'i, he'd be the doctor I'd miss the most. The level of care he provides is extraordinary, and it was evident from my very first visit. His genuine concern and dedication to his patients are truly one-of-a-kind. As someone with a dental phobia and a history of medical trauma, I've always dreaded dental appointments. But Dr. Hayashi has completely changed that for me and each encounter leaves me feeling grateful to have him on my healthcare team. His commitment to patient well-being and his accountability in fostering a better community is exceptional. Over the years, he's been a part of some major changes in my life, and I feel a special kinship with him. We've made incredible progress in my dental journey, and I'm proud of the place we've gotten to together. I'd also like to recognize the amazing front office team--Kerrie, Abi , and the other staff member (whose name I didn't catch). They play such an essential role in keeping everything running smoothly, and I'm always thankful for their friendly and efficient service. Dental assistant Ashlee deserves special mention as well. Her kindness and lively personality make the appointment feel so much more pleasant. Every office needs someone like Ashlee! Although I haven't met the other dentists at the office yet, I'm confident they're excellent. Aloha Family Dentistry is located on the 3rd floor of the American Savings Bank building at the corner of Kahuhipa St. and Kamehameha Hwy in Kāne`ohe. They offer convenient parking entrances on both Kahuhipa St. and Kamehameha Hwy, with wheelchair-accessible parking and building entrances on both levels. Choose Aloha Family Dentistry and you'll be on your way to an even more beautiful smile and healthier you!

NO ALOHA, NOT OHANA…read more I asked for help but I was disregarded. I asked for flexibility because it wasn't part of my original treatment plan and was denied. Poor communication, lack of accountability, and zero regard for patients. I'd been complaining about my tooth for months and was told nothing was wrong. Enduring the pain, turned out to be fractured....causing an issue that could have been avoided. Staff informed me that this nearly $1500 procedure where I was responsible for at least half would be "no problem" when I asked to pay monthly, so I agreed to the amount where they said we can work out the payments after. But in the end they demanded full payment immediately and refused any partial payment. To me, it's insult to injury when this was an inconvenient bill that could've been prevented. The fact that I've ALWAYS paid the full amount no matter the cost and asked for them to work with me tells me they DON'T know their customers and they are NOT a family oriented business. Unless my mind is changed, help me find a new dentist!!

I am very thankful for Dr. Oka and his team. In my first visit in February 2026, I had a…read morewell-informed dental hygienist who taught me a lot of good tips. I forgot her name, but she had red hair. I implemented the routine she recommended, and 6 months later, my oral health seemed to have improved a lot. Dr. Oka also was the first dental professional who informed me that there is a connection between bruxism and sleep disorders. He recommended I get a sleep study in February -- and he didn't just recommend it; he asked which medical group my PCP is part of and informed me about how to get started. I did a sleep study, and I did end up being diagnosed with a sleep disorder! The treatment that followed was life-changing, and I wouldn't have prioritized this without this info from Dr. Oka. Oka Family Dentistry has the best combination of kind, caring staff and knowledge in dentistry + how it ties into holistic well-being.

Would definitely recommend. Dr shiroma and her team as they were great. Pleasant staff and easy to…read moremake an appointment with. Ain't my first rodeo when it comes to getting a root canal and crowns but my experience went great. Loved that i didnt need a temp crown. I got a temp crown once and i accidentally swallowed it. Their hygenist is great too. She gave advice on how to keep my teeth and gums healthy which i thought was great. Overall, great experience and im glad to found a great dental team. I used to hate going to the dentist. Now i am more eager to take care of my dental health and am glad to finally get a good dental office.

Parking: Medum private/shared lot; conveniently located central Kaneohe town (next to Jack in the…read moreBox, easy to miss if you aren't looking for it or GPSing) Office atmosphere: Cozy, clean and professional Staff: Dr. Keller, front staff and techs/hygienists friendly, knowledgeable & professional Fast response time, easy to make appointments. * My 3 year old and 1 year old had so much fun; the older one can't wait to go back! Recently moved back to Hawaii in September so needed to find a new dentist for my family & I. Found Kaneohe Family Dental Care here on Yelp and luckily they happened to take my insurance (Tricare). I've actually been putting off finding a dentist because I've been so busy with other things, but I had a tooth break off (it was actually a newer crown I had put in, I think, in May 2016 or so) and Bobbie was able to squeeze me in the same day but I ended up needing to go the next day instead which wasn't any problem. She recognized me right off the bat with my missing front tooth and was just as friendly in person as on the phone. I waited about two minutes before a technician/hygienist (I never know what anyone's job title is!) brought me back, I think her name is Allie and she's also very nice, she talked to me a little to get a short history and not too long after, I met Dr. Keller who took very good care of me. I never felt rushed and he gave me his recommendations and made sure I understood all my options but did not push anything on me. This happened to be a few days before the New Year so he and his wife were just about to fly to the mainland to spend the holiday with their daughters so I felt very fortunate they could fit me in as I'm pretty sure I'd be hard pressed to find another dentist at that time. I ended up needing to get a retainer thing they call a flapper, kind of like a denture I think, which took about a week to make -- though I do really want an implant, my mouth needs a LOT of other work (I've got several molars missing and other nonsense due to lack of dental insurance in the past) so before setting me up with that he's working out a treatment plan for me so we're not just jumping around my mouth and ending up doing something unnecessary (I appreciate this though I hate having to use this retainer!) Since my initial appointment I think I've been back twice, once for my retainer fitting and another for a routine cleaning and new patient X-Rays. For my cleaning I worked with Donna who was VERY informative; I learned more during that one cleaning than I ever have about taking care of my mouth and now my gums are looking & feeling better than they have in a long time. I've also had both of my sons in to see Dr. Keller just today and they had a really great time. They were able to take them back without me and I guess it seemed so fun my mom (who came as back-up) wants to switch dentists now. They made balloon heads out of rubber gloves and gave them each a toy from their "treasure chest", both of which they are still enjoying. I'm really happy with my experience and definitely recommend Kaneohe Family Dental, their name may suggest they treat patients of all ages but in my opinion I think it's also because they treat their patients like family.

I found the billing process to be very stressful and poorly handled…read more Before my appointment, I requested that the office submit a predetermination (pre-treatment estimate) to my dental insurance so I could better understand what would be covered before moving forward with treatment. My request was declined, and I was told I needed to pay a large estimated amount upfront as a requirement to book my appointment. After my insurance processed the claim, I learned that my actual out-of-pocket responsibility was significantly lower--more than $1,000 less than what I had been required to pay upfront. I had to contact my insurance company myself to understand the claim, and they advised me to contact the dental office because I had already paid before my insurance claim was finalized. After the office reviewed my account, they confirmed that I had overpaid and issued a refund, which I am currently waiting to receive by mail. I appreciate that they corrected my account, but I don't think patients should have to request a refund themselves after paying a large estimated amount upfront. I also believe there should be more transparency and confidence in the billing process so patients fully understand that the amount collected is only an estimate and may change once insurance processes the claim. If you have dental insurance, I highly recommend reviewing your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) after your claim is processed and comparing it with what you paid. If something doesn't seem right, don't hesitate to ask the office to review your account. Overall, the dental care itself was decent--though not the best--but I believe the billing process and communication could be significantly improved to make the experience much less stressful for patients.
