As usual, they took good care of me during my visit from the reception (Reyna) to the thorough cleaning of my teeth; and of course Dr Mello! She carefully and skillfully remove my temporary bridge WITHOUT pain. The fit of the new permanent bridge was perfect. She then checked my gums in detail. Even paying the co-pay was not painful... Obrigado, Dr Mello!

********** PLEASE NOTE ********** I would like to remove my 5 stars. Please read on to second comment. Comment #1: I went to Hawaii Family Dental for the first time, and I was more than pleased. Everyone from the receptionist (Bobbie) to the exray person (Jaden) to the financial/insurance person (Annabelle) to the hygienist (Yana) was friendly, knowledgeable and gave me great service. (I hope I got the names right! ) The dentist who helped me, Dr. Mello, was pleasant and professional, and I will certainly be one of her patients for a long time to come. I was extremely happy with everyone, and I look forward to a good future with them all. ********** Comment #2 ********** I have something not good to add: I went back today to have a procedure done, and IT WAS SO NOISY I COULD BARELY STAND IT. Just cublicles, no doors. Lots of dentists, patients, people talking, general noise. I found it very unpleasant. Based on the atmosphere alone, I cannot recommend, and take back my 5 stars.

I've had a terrible time with dentists in the past to the point that I just won't go. Something came up and I needed to find a dentist so I decided to try Dr Mello and I'm so glad I did! She's wonderful...the whole staff is wonderful. I actually love going to the dentist now. Dr Mello and her staff have actually changed my perspective on going to the dentist! Thank you all!

Great staff at Front Desk and Back office. Everyone is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Excellent experience today. Dentist Dr Mello is always a great communicator and gentle at procedure. Service was very timely and perfectly on schedule. Also I had a great experience yesterday with the Hygienist. This office is top notch all around. Thank you all.

The dentist and hygienist here are all friendly and genuinely care about what they're doing. I have had several visits now and they do such a great job. Dr. Mello rocks 🤙 I also just got my first root canal. I was worried because I've heard horror stories about the pain. But I am virtually pain free during and after the treatment. Dr. Wiz is truly a wizard. Mahalo
