I went in today for a TB chest X-ray, and unfortunately, my experience with the X-ray technician,…read moreHeiro, was extremely disappointing. I completely understand that medical facilities have rules and procedures that need to be followed. However, instead of simply explaining the procedure and/or the rule, Heiro repeatedly responded, "We have to follow the rules!" in a very dismissive and unfriendly manner. The issue was not the rules -- I am perfectly happy to follow them. The issue was the way I was spoken to and the complete lack of communication. A simple explanation would have taken less than a minute and would have avoided the entire unpleasant interaction. Instead of being guided through a medical procedure, I was made to feel as though I was being reprimanded for not already knowing their process. So, for anyone going there for a chest X-ray, here is what I wish someone had simply explained to me: When you enter the X-ray area, wait until the technician tells you what to do. When instructed, go into the changing room, remove your clothing from the waist up, and put on the blue gown with the opening in the back. Then wait until you are called and given the next instruction. It is a very simple process. Unfortunately, if you don't already know these steps, you may be made to feel as though you have done something wrong. Working in healthcare requires not only technical skills, but also basic communication skills, patience, and respect for patients. Rules are absolutely fine. Expecting patients to know those rules without explaining them -- and then speaking to them disrespectfully when they don't -- is not. I would have given this experience 1 star because of the way I was treated by the X-ray technician. However, the reception staff were very nice and helpful, and I don't think their good service should be overlooked. That is the reason I am giving 2 stars instead of Zero. I'm writing this so the next person knows exactly what to expect and hopefully avoids having the same unpleasant experience I had.

The parking lot can get crowded so he might have you wait to drive in. Before you get to the elevators to go up, you will have to have your temperature checked and they limit 2 people in the elevator at a time. Since it is a clinic, don't be surprised if you have to wait awhile to get in. They are pretty much a mini hospital as they can do all the regular tests such as blood, urine, take x-rays, ultra sounds all in the same building. Pro Tip: make sure you go early just in case the parking lot is full and you have to wait. Remember, in most cases, it's ok for you to wait but not your doctor.

If you don't mind the walk, I suggest parking in Market City Shopping Center or down the road in Safeway's parking area, if you can't find a stall. They have a little area to park mopeds and motorcycles near the parking entrance. If you're taking the cab/taxi, or just waiting for your ride, there's a few benches outside to rest your feet. Since it's a clinic, expect it to be busy. They do X-rays, blood tests, urine tests, dialysis, and ultra sounds in the same building. They also have eye doctors. I think they have kids doctors as well. They have other specialists that I'm not familiar with too. It does take a while to get a room but it's worth the wait. I personally see Dr. Chen. He is very informative and knowledgeable. Also, he has a sense of humor so that helps out a lot. I always leave the clinic with a smile on my face. They updated their phone system so now there's a menu to listen to when you call. You might get put on hold for a minute or two, but they're more than happy to assist you. The staff really does try their best to serve every patient in a timely matter. Appointments aren't necessary but it's highly recommended. If you're scheduling an appointment for the same day, call as soon as possible (8:00AM.) This clinic has everything I need in one building. *Yikes I guess one of the older receptionists wasn't in a good mood today. She didn't seem approachable like a receptionist should.

Free From Chronic Pain by Suzanna Williams…read more I recently had spine fusion surgery at Kuakini Hospital on August 21,25. The surgery was a complete success without any complications. I believe, wholeheartedly, that my success is due to everyone who played a part of my experience at Kuakini Hospital. You changed my life! Thank you! 1. Dr. Awaya, Orthopedic Surgeon 2. Pre-check in by phone and in person (staff and nurses) 3. Surgery day preparations (staff and nurses) 4. Surgical nurses and assistants that supported Dr.Awaya's efforts and plan for a successful surgery 5. Nurses (post surgery) 6. Physical Therapist (post surgery) 7. Occupational Therapist (post surgery) 8. Social Worker (post surgery) 9. Cafeteria personnel My story is nothing new when I share I had been battling chronic back pain for years. The journey had been a very long and winding road trying this and that to relieve my chronic pain. There were some things that worked along the way but unfortunately my chronic pain persisted that enviably lead me to surgery. I went to my first consultation with Dr.Awaya. This was the day I would get answers to what was causing my pain. First impressions always speaks volumes to me. He entered the room with confidence. He introduced himself and asked me how I was doing. I had my list of concerns ready and I am a very long winded person...I can talk forever and he took the time to listen without any interruptions. He then led into showing me what was causing my chronic pain at L4 and L5. He did this on the computer using my MRI image that had been taken at a recent visit to the emergency room back in March of this year. He went over my condition giving it a name called Spondylolisthesis and explained to me how spinal fusion surgery can correct this condition. He spoke with confidence with no fluff and did not mince his words. He got right to the point. I appreciated that. We met once more before the surgery where he then gave me his expectations of the surgery: 1. Approximately how long the surgery could take (3-4 hours) 2. Explained the possibility of infection 3. Explained the surgery procedure 4. My length of stay in the hospital (2 days) 5. Recovery at rehabilitation center (2 weeks) 6. Follow-up visit with him in (2 weeks) Everything went according to plan. I had surgery on July 21, 2025 and discharged to recovery on July 23, 2025 without any complications due to the wonderful people working at Kuakini Hospital. The level of care provided to me by the nurses, therapists, staff, and others assigned to my care were instrumental to my surgery success and healing process. 1. Everyone always explained what they were doing and why it was necessary 2. Everyone worked as a unified team member 3. Nurses introduced themselves switching shifts 4. Updated my board accordingly 5. Administered prescribed medications accordingly 6. Monitored my care per doctor's order precisely 7. Always asked about my well-being 8. The physical and occupational therapists were instrumental to my long-term success 9. Kudos to the cafeteria staff in preparing my food. It was the best tasting hospital food I had ever had. I never went hungry! Everyone did exactly what they were assigned to do. The environment was conducive to a successful post-surgery outcome. God bless all of you! Post surgery update. Three weeks after surgery: 1. Discharged from recovery on August 4, 2025 returned home 2. I can walk for 30 minutes around my neighborhood. I have done it three days straight now without any problems 3. I can go to church for 2 hours 4. I can bend my leg to put on my own socks and shoes 5. I am totally free from chronic pain- Praise the Lord! Excellent teamwork!

Whenever I wasn't visiting hospital, I relied on MyChart to keep up. But no system works without people. I owe a great deal to two in particular: Discharge Coordinator Lyn S., and Dr. C Li. Most of the time, wrapping it up properly is the whole experience. Lyn made that possible. She was there every step of the way once discharge process began - from choosing a SNF facility all the way to coordinating the transportation. Without her I would not have known how to navigate the complex web. She laid the groundwork for a smooth transition before holiday, even right before her own vacation. As a seasoned project specialist myself, I couldn't do any better with the kind of attention to detail, in such reassuring manner. I am truly grateful. In between, some very critical decision point, Dr. C Li was there to help, patiently. No jargon, no running around, just clear terms a layman like me can understand. I've learned far beyond medical terms - how to cope with the difficult situation and come up with a better solution. Not best, but better, all things considered. I know I'll have no regrets. Strange how human brain works, after a while, many details become a blur, what remains is the warm fuzzy feeling, voices and gestures that remind you there are still a lot of beautiful things in the world.

The doctors, nurses, CNA's and other staff helped make my birth experience go as smoothly as possible. They were all professional, compassionate, and gave me 5-star worthy care. My favorite part was our celebratory meal we got to enjoy on the second night of our stay. I was fortunate enough to be on my way home after only 2 nights. The reason for deducting 1 star is because my discharge experience could've gone better. We went from 2 blissful days of feeling taken care of and pampered, to feeling like we were being rushed to move out. An older Asian lady (not sure what her role is at Kapiolani but I know she definitely wasn't a nurse) came into our room and started basically telling us it's time to get ready to go. She asked my husband where our car seat was. We explained to her, per the instructions from our RN that was last taking care of us, we were waiting for the pharmacy to call to let us know my prescription was ready, then my husband will grab the car seat on the way to the pharmacy. Then we would have someone from their staff ensure that we buckled baby in correctly, and then proceed with discharge. This lady started yapping and bossing my husband around, telling him to bring the car around up front and we'll all walk out together. She then proceeded to call the pharmacy to basically tell them to hurry up and fill my prescription. Her presence caused me unnecessary stress. We felt like we were being hurried to clear out the room. On top of that, I was not offered a wheelchair to our car. I had to walk, 2 days postpartum, freshly stitched up and sore, to our car parked in front at guest drop off. Despite this experience I'm not letting it overshadow my overall experience at Kapiolani. The nurses were so sweet and supportive and made me feel like a rock star first time mom after I gave birth to my daughter in just 11 hours. I left feedback for kapiolani and I do hope they take steps to improve their discharge process for future patients.

Kapiolani Medical Center is a non-profit hospital specializing in the care of women and children on…read morethe Hawaiian Islands. The Center had its origin thanks to its namesake, Queen Kapiolani, who started a maternity home in 1890. Kapiolani had no children of her own, but left a legacy of devotion to education and health care for women and children. The Center is comprised of a hospital with emergency room capabilities. A clinic with full time physician oversight also operates at the center. The staff at Kapiolani Medical Center is aloha friendly. My daughter had her baby at Kapiolani, where she received good prenatal and delivery care. The Center is currently fundraising to raise money to support growth. I attended parts of the fundraiser, which was a heart warming experience. The facilities are a mishmash of architectural styles mostly from the 1980's. There is modest colorful art throughout the complex. The dining room on the second floor hosts a decent cafeteria and a Starbucks. The hospital is immaculate inside. The hospital is also a teaching hospital in partnership with the medical school at the University of Hawaii. Today, I also had lunch in the Kobayashi & Kosasa Dining Room. A big bowl of soup was only $4! I had broccoli cheese soup, which was healthier than your average soup, made with noticeably less salt. I loved my soup. The cafeteria offers an interesting menu of Hawaiian traditional meals, craft pizzas, salads and more. They offer valet parking, because finding your own parking is near impossible. There is a parking garage somewhere on site, but I'm not sure where.
