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!

I've been a patient of Dr. Cho's for many years and have to say the personalized attention and…read moregenuine care I receive there is exceptional. Both Dr. Cho and Shari do everything possible to ensure my comfort during every visit. They have excellent safety measures in place, as well. Numbing shots are not as painful as with some of my previous dentists, and go to work quickly (in the past they'd take a long time to take effect and other dentists would just start with the drilling anyway!), which makes the visit faster and more efficient. Both Dr. Cho and Shari take a real interest in my overall well-being and who I am as a person. I'm not just a number to them. They schedule their patients in a way that allows them to provide quality, individualized attention without the rush. I enjoy the conversations we have (it's uncanny how they can understand me even while my teeth are being worked on lol!) and their always calm and soothing disposition. Last, but not least, the work Dr. Cho and Shari do is impeccable. They stay on top of their industry and use the latest technology. I recently had to get a crown and was amazed by how fast it arrived, not to mention the precision fit it offered. The technology used is 3-D imaging to get a precise fit, eliminating the need to do the traditional back-and/forth "tap, tap, tap" and resurfacing dance routine. I swear, there was one minor adjustment and bam! I had myself a brand new, sturdy molar that looks and fits as realistic as ever, down to the bite! The office is centrally located at the corner of Makaloa and Kaheka Streets, just a block from Ala Moana Center. Parking is validated and the structure is easy to access from Makaloa Street. Most people would say they never look forward to going to the dentist, but they haven't been to Dr. Cho!

Well, for as long as I've been a patient of Dr. Suzuki and for each visit, they take my blood pressure, ask you all the health questions and provide me with PPE (eye covering) during each visit. While I've not been to many dentists throughout my life, Dr. Suzuki is the only dentist who does the health check. Her staff, front office, dental hygienists and assistants are great; personable, helpful and kind. Appointments for regular teeth cleaning is made before you leave your appointment. If there is any dental work needed, they have a network of specialty dentists they refer you to. If you have a dental emergency, Dr. Suzuki is readily available. Located in the Kuakini Medical Center, parking is never a problem. The office validates your parking stub but there remains a small fee at the toll booth. I'm not sure if Dr. Suzuki takes new patients. If she does and you're in need of a dentist, she's your girl

Dr. Tanaka is the best! He is so friendly and caring, I don't know how he remembers everyone lol…read more My whole family has been going here for years. This place is always busy. It's hard to get a last minute appointment, but they always try to accommodate you especially if pain or some kind of emergency is involved. Other than that, you need to book months in advance to get a cleaning because they are that popular! Dr. Tanaka's employees are always friendly and offer great customer service. When it comes to billing, he always tries to work with your dental coverage and is very considerate when charging you for work done. You can work out payment plans if necessary or pay with credit card, check or by mail--he just goes the extra mile to ensure that you are accommodated. He recently put in a porcelain cap for one of my molars. It was an easy procedure, I didn't experience any discomfort and the cap feels and looks great. Mahalo doc!

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.
