I've been a patient of Dr. Kurokawa for about 15 years. Marcie, the hygienist, is amazing and the…read morereason I've been a loyal patient! The front desk lady is on a power trip. Despite me never having an overdue balance of more than $11 for more than 6 months between appointments, today's appointment was canceled without even giving me a courtesy call because of my overdue balance of $10 (the leftover amount after my insurance paid). I showed up for my cleaning today, sat in the waiting room for 30 minutes before the front desk lady told me my $10 balance was sent to a collection agency and I can apply to be a patient again after I pay the collection agency. That is not how a medical office should treat a patient of over 15 years who came for a cleaning every 6 months and always paid the bills in full, even if the little $10 balance waited until my next appointment to settle. The staff in this office knows that I am dealing with major depressive disorder and I was on extended sick leave at the time of my last appointment as I'm trying to deal with my health issues. I find it incredibly cruel and petty that they kicked me out of their practice and sent a $10 bill to collections a month before my scheduled appointment and didn't even call to tell me. Dr. Kurokawa is a fine dentist. He replaced broken porcelain crowns on my molars years ago. He explained that I can't have porcelain because I clench my teeth. I need gold crowns because they are more malleable. The only problem is that Dr. Kurokawa can be mean, muttering how disgusting I am while working on my teeth. My teeth are not disgusting.

Excellent service and super attentive. I admire the way they communicate with each other in there…read more Always saying please and thank you. Very professional. Thank you and glad that Dr Kurokawa is my dentist.

Dr. Austin Choy, Amy Choy, and the entire staff at Kukui Plaza Dental Associates, especially…read moreNicole, have been amazing. My wife and I moved from New York City two years ago and were fortunate to be referred to this practice by a friend. We have needed emergency dental care on several occasions, including during the Christmas holiday, and each time the team was able to fit us in on short notice and provide excellent care. Dr. Choy is patient, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain treatment options and answer questions thoroughly. The entire office is professional, friendly, and welcoming. I highly recommend Kukui Plaza Dental Associates to anyone seeking exceptional dental care in town.

As the spouse of a local doctor I hate having to write a review like this but considering how bad…read morethis experience ended I feel it's necessary to provide the following opinion to help prospective patients of Dr. Austin Choy make a better informed decision about seeking treatment. I blame myself in part for not asking enough of the right questions up front. If I had, I would have known he was not the right doctor for me. Unfortunately, I experienced judgment over the course of treatment, then disrespectful and ugly behavior to get rid of me. It appears to me that Dr. Choy preference is for simple, straightforward, easy patients that don't have any kinds of issues and that's not me. Which he knew. I was extremely upfront about my health issues, medications that affect my teeth, and the fact I genetically have bad teeth on Day1. He had every opportunity upfront to say we were not matched, but he didn't. I understand the Why he didn't want me to continue but, he handled the How very poorly. It was so bad, it's why I need to write this review. Some doctors are passionate about caring for and helping others. That is not what I experienced and have little confidence that you would experience it either. For others it's just a means to an end and those doctors want as easy a life as possible. Ask the right questions so you can decide for yourself which one you want treating you.

Let me start by saying I am the WORST dental patient in the world. I dread going to the dentist…read moreand haven't been to one in over a decade. There were times in the past where I had to go through multiple hygienists due to the fact that it was impossible to take x-rays because of my gag reflex. Recently, I discovered that I had a chipped tooth in my mouth and was afraid to check it out. A friend of mine convinced me to go and see Dr. Wong as she goes to him for her dental needs. She insisted that he's really good and "it won't be that bad." A week after dealing with getting food stuck in my chipped tooth every day, I finally decided to give in and made an appointment. To my surprise, they were able to see me the same day! I went to their office which is conveniently located in Saint Francis on Liliha Street (with lots of parking) at 4pm and Wilma greeted me kindly. I completed my paperwork and provided my insurance information to them. Darci came out and promptly assisted me with my x-rays. After evaluating my x-ray, she told me that I would likely have to remove my wisdom tooth. What!? That was not the news that I wanted to hear, but Darci reassured me that Dr. Wong was good and I wouldn't even feel the shots (I found that hard to believe.) She said that he gives little kids shots all the time and they are fine (I am worst than a little kid when it comes to dentists and shots though.) I went to the waiting room to await the prognosis. Dr. Wong came out and introduced himself. He confirmed that I need to remove my top wisdom tooth and advised me that it would be an "easy extraction." If I did not remove the tooth, I would have tooth aches and other issues in the near future. Dr. Wong was able to accommodate removing my wisdom tooth immediately. I did not want to go through any pain but I was already there and had I left, I may not have returned until it was too late. I asked Dr. Wong if it would hurt and he insisted that it would not hurt him at all. I felt relieved because my main concern was the doctor's pain tolerance level. He reassured me that it would be fine. I decided to go ahead and get it over with since I was there so they got me situated in the chair to start the procedure. Deedra and Dr. Wong explained to me what was going to happen and to my surprise, I didn't even feel the numbing shots. They got me all numbed up and were ready to start the procedure. Dr. Wong went to work and before I knew it, I had one less tooth in my mouth. I honestly didn't even know that the procedure was complete until he showed me the extracted tooth. After seeing the removed tooth, I felt fortunate that I took it out. All in all, it was as painless as could be. Deedra gave me thorough instructions on how to care for my wound after the extraction along with the necessary supplies including gauze and pain killers. I went home and followed the instructions and didn't even need to use any pain killers. The staff at Dr. Wong's office even followed up with me to make sure that I was okay the next day. That was awesome as I don't often get any follow up from my dentist. All in all, it was as great of an experience as I could have asked for considering I spent the afternoon at a dentist removing a wisdom tooth. You could say that it's like "pulling teeth" getting me to go to the dentist but this time, that is literally what happened. My experience with Dr. Wong and his staff was so great that I am actually going to see Darci for a cleaning in the near future. Good luck Dr. Wong, I'll be back!
