I was the first Kaiser patient to get the Inspire device installed, in May 2024. I switched jobs and my company only offers HMSA, so I needed to find a new doctor.

I left this practice extremely disappointed. My biggest concern was not simply that they wouldn't…read moreprovide the treatment I was hoping for, but the apparent lack of flexibility and understanding when treating a patient with opioid use disorder who was also dealing with significant acute pain. I understand that pain management involving opioids and OUD is complicated, and I completely respect the need for appropriate safeguards. What concerned me was feeling that the practice's policies were being applied in a way that didn't adequately account for the actual clinical circumstances of the patient. In my experience, the approach felt extremely limited rather than individualized. For a practice that specializes in pain management, I expected a much stronger understanding of the modern approaches to treating acute severe pain in patients receiving medication for opioid use disorder. This is where I believe the situation becomes potentially dangerous. A patient with OUD can have two legitimate medical needs at the same time: treatment for their OUD and adequate treatment for severe acute pain. Those issues shouldn't automatically be treated as mutually exclusive. I left feeling that the policies were more important than developing an appropriate, individualized pain-management plan. That's particularly concerning when dealing with patients who may already be at increased risk of returning to illicit opioids if legitimate pain isn't adequately addressed. I hope this practice seriously considers updating its approach to patients with OUD and ensuring that its clinicians are familiar with current evidence-based approaches to acute pain management in this population. One star based on my personal experience. I would encourage anyone with OUD who needs pain management to ask very specifically about how the practice handles acute severe pain while a patient is receiving MOUD before choosing this practice.

Schedule your appointment when he tells you for your follow up because it's hard to get an appointment with him if you don't. Seeing a specialist is a hard thing to do these days in Hawaii!

We still interviewed with many of the other Pediatricians in Kailua but once we met Dr. Yim, we knew immediately he was the one. Not just because he could visit us at KMCWC but because we felt a sincere connection from him. We've been seeing Dr. Yim and his staff since our first child was born in 2018, now with our second kiddo we still love him and his staff! They are all so friendly, professional and I know that if I'm being a worry wart mom about something after hours I can text him for a response. What I also love is that he doesn't pressure you to parent in a way that may not be your style. He provides you the tools and resources that helps in your child's growth, as his number 1 priority. My only small but more of a "first world" problem, okay "hawaii living" problem haha is that parking can sometimes be really tight. Otherwise, we love Dr. Yim and will continue using him for our children!

The office visits are usually very efficient and the flow and communication between the assistant and the doctor is effortless. After your child's visit, you will have a sit down consult in his office and he is not shy to pass out his personal number. He is available by text anytime of the day and when your child has a problem he checks on your family constantly! You can tell he truly cares!!! I would def recommend this practice to anyone looking for a knowledgeable compassionate provider!

I recently started a new job and have insurance from two companies making billing a bit challenging. They have worked with me to ensure that all of my appointments and procedures are covered!

Me (being my impatient self) wanted to explore other possibilities. I'm still young and relatively healthy, so I was looking for a naturopathic option. She did an extensive consultation and walked me through the plan before we started acupuncture. She asked about things like my diet, lifestyle, and gave me great advice on what I should/shouldn't do. The next appointment was scheduled for acupuncture. I'm not sure if it was the timing or the stars just aligned. I immediately got pregnant after the first session! A pregnancy test confirmed it a month later on Father's Day. I saw her religiously during the first trimester and sparingly throughout my pregnancy. Based off my pulse, she was able to identify the baby's gender and confirmed we're having a boy! Now, a year later, we have a healthy and happy baby boy! I still see her once a month post partum to help my body heal. Thank you Dr. Mei-Lin! PS She also helped fix my reoccurring knee and ankle pains Thanks for reading my reviews!
