He seemed like a caring person and a good listener. I had told him about aunty's recent hospitalizations... and he went to visit her in the hospital! Located on the third level of the Mary Savio Medical Plaza, Dr. Harada's Office was clean, bright, and decorated with sakura (cherry blossom) stickers! The staff were efficient and professional! The doctor was very helpful and intuitive! He went over the medications, treatments, and suggested practical things for aunty to do... plus, he sent her to the lab for bloodwork. Thanks for taking care of my aunty. See you again in a couple of weeks!

During a MRI it was discovered that my wife had tumor near her spine. We were sent to Dr Gregory…read moreChow for surgery consultation. Dr Chow said that he had reviewed the MRI and test results and that my wife Pat could become paralyzed and that surgery was highly recommended right away .He said that she would have no pain after and would prevent her from becoming paralyzed. He emphasized URGENCY no time to spare ! We were very scared and scheduled the surgery right away .The surgery was scheduled for 4 pm and the anesthesiologist stopped by and said that Dr Chow had SEVERAL surgeries scheduled that day . We found out after that He was going on vacation soon and had scheduled too many surgeries to perform that day before he left on vacation! All the surgeries ran late and my wifes was the last one , the surgery started 4-1/2 hours later than scheduled and ended at 9 pm ! Dr Chow was probably tired and not focused when Pat finally got into the operating room. He called me after 9 pm in the waiting area and said Pat had lost alot of blood and HE HAD NOT given her a transfusion! Chow visited her room and my wife had no feeling from the chest down. Chow visited Pats room the next day and said that he was sure the epidural was the reason she had no feeling and could not move her legs and it might take days to wear off? One week later Chow scheduled another MRI and took Pat back into surgery to try to fix what he had missed while rushing the first surgery and being fatigued. He came to Pats room and was very cold and said he always hated it when people left the hospital WORSE OFF than when the came in! He then said he would be off island [vacation] and his nurse LPN Shelby Wilcox would be covering Nurse Wilcox visited my wife only once in five days! And all the hospital nurses tried desperatly to contact her and Chow who did not answer or return calls for 5 full days! The hospital nurses were furious. . My wife had very low blood pressure 87 over 39 and she needed medication but hospital nurses could not reach WILCOX or CHOW!The Pali Momi Hospital head doctor started checking on my wife since Chow and Wilcox did not check on her or answer calls ! HE called Chow and got her the meds she desperatly needed! Before visiting Chow our life was good and she was walking and was normal! She became paralyzed from the chest down during the operation he had assured us would help her! Our life became a nightmare and she passed away less than two months after the operation. Her room mate in the hospital also was paralyzed during a surgery by Dr Chow and they both contacted many people who became paralyzed during Chows operations! Please stay away from Dr Raymond Chow ! Research his past history ! He has ruined many lives . My wife passed away less than two months after the operation ! Our life became a nightmare after Chow operated on her and she is missed every minute by me, her kids, grandkids and family and friends . Yesterday would have been my sweet wifes birthday .

After being diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer at age 46, I chose to undergo a double…read moremastectomy with reconstruction. Between 2017 and 2019, I had expander surgery and two revision procedures. Unfortunately, despite multiple surgeries, I was deeply unhappy with the results. Following my last revision in 2019, I met with my surgeon to discuss my concerns. After examining me, he told me, "You just need to lose weight. Then the implants will look better." I was devastated. Before my cancer diagnosis, I had always been healthy and taken great pride in my physical well-being. After enduring chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, and years of reconstruction surgeries, hearing that my concerns were simply a matter of weight was heartbreaking. The experience left me struggling with my confidence and sense of self. In late 2025, my husband encouraged me to seek a second opinion. Reluctantly, I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Christopher Tokin. From the beginning, Dr. Tokin listened to my concerns and believed he could improve my reconstruction. After three previous surgeries with disappointing results, I was skeptical but hopeful. In February 2026, Dr. Tokin performed what I can only describe as a miracle. The results exceeded every expectation I had. For the first time since my cancer journey began, I felt like I had regained a part of my old self. The reconstruction is beautiful and natural-looking--exactly what I had hoped for all along. Since then, I have lost 30 pounds and feel like I have a completely new lease on life. While the physical transformation has been incredible, the emotional impact has been even greater. Dr. Tokin restored not only my appearance, but also my confidence and quality of life. I am profoundly grateful for Dr. Tokin and often wonder if he realizes just how much he changed my life. He is one of the kindest, most compassionate, and humble physicians I have ever met. If you are struggling with the results of a breast reconstruction or wondering whether improvement is possible, I strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tokin. Even if you've been told to accept your outcome, don't give up hope. I am living proof that a skilled and caring surgeon can make all the difference.

So I inquired with his cocky receptionist who informed me that the blood test results was sitting in his inbox and I asked her if he read it and she said NO. She also relayed to him that she didn't want me to call anymore which caused Dr. Nakayama to release me because SHE didn't want to talk to me anymore. What right did this receptionist/secretary have to say this? She apparently came from another office and was extremely incompetent in doing her job. Dr. Nakayama MISDIAGNOSED me saying I had SLE and after 23/24 years if being treated by him then told me HE THINKS I have Sjogrens.. Dr. Nakayama is extremely inefficient in doing his job. Run away from him if you are referred to him. Find another rheumatologist who really cares about his or her patients. Not some lolo like him.
