There were about 6 security guards near the beautiful nurses. This is the first et I have ever been in that acted like the angel of death. This is where the medical person wants you to die.

Constantly trying to send you to Oahu for a 15 min appointment with a specialist because they don't have any in town connected with them. Spending all day going to Oahu for 15 minutes is a hardship for seniors with disabilities. They can't get your prescriptions correct. They need to be sued for mal-pracrice or shut down. Their stupid recording on hold it ANNOYING, the jingle is STUPID! Silence would be better. AVOID this place if you can.

I have had asthma for 6 years and have been taking the same medication for about that long. Today I came in after being in Washington for 3 years. I just needed a new doctor to give me refills on my prescriptions. I waited for over an hour passed my appointment time to see this disgusting man. He stormed into the room I was in and never greeted me. He demanded I sit down on the table to he could check my breathing. He immediately yelled (yes, he is mentally unstable) that the medication I take for my asthma isnt safe for pregnancy. They're Category B which is safe for pregnancy. Obviously I've done my research and have taken these medications with both of my children and throughout 4 OBGYNS and an extremely intelligent doctor at Spokane Allergy & Asthma what I take has been proven to be safe. He said he didn't care and he doesnt know my doctors so how would he know? He then proceeded to yell at me pushing a paper in my face going "where's your pharmacy! Why you never put your pharmacy!!" I said, the nurse asked me and wrote it down... I told her Kilauea Longs drugs... he proceeded to yell at me asking why it wasn't on there. I told him his attitude was horrible and he needs to learn some bedside manners. He argued back and stormed out of the room and disappeared. This disgusting, nasty and ignorant specimen needs to be fired immediately!! How dare he attack a patient because of the misery and hatred in his own heart? Nonetheless a pregnant newly bereaved mother. The most shameful, disgusting man I've ever met!

So if I ever had to go again, I wouldn't have any doubt they will be just as accommodating, helpful, understanding, and kind.

I searched Yelp.com and found nothing, so I'm starting this "looking for a Review", in hopes other members can contribute their experiences for HMSA vs: Kaiser. This is what Tracy E in Honolulu, Hawaii said in a message just now: Hi Steve, I would reccomend going with HMSA rather than Kaiser. I have HMSA and my boyfriend has Kaiser, and we have found that there are many more doctors to choose from with HMSA. In addition, there is usually a long wait to see a doctor with Kaiser. However, we are on Oahu. Things may be different on the Big Isle. Good Luck, Tracy To which I reply here now: Hi Tracy, Thanks very much. Yes, Oahu is VERY different. Hilo is smaller than a small town, with nothing to do, nothing really here other than a WalMart :) There are so few doctors here that even 2 years ago, NO doctors were accepting new patients!! Kaiser may be a good choice for this fact only. Thanks, Steve
