The person that cleaned my teeth did an outstanding job and Dr. Utley is an amazing doctor she explained everything step by step. At first I tried Dr. P. Chen however she was not people friendly so I decided to change my primary care to Dr. Utley.Furthermore I went into this dental office today 4-11-2025 to have a consultation for dental implants for 2 missing teeth. The consultation alone was $56+change and for the 2 teeth implants Total would be $12,565.89 I believe to be way to expensive. The 5 stars is for the hygienist and Dr. Utley.

I have been experiencing a bad tooth ache call several dental offices some indicated they handle dental emergencies to my dismay none had any openings. Called family dental and was able to get an appointment that morning. Staff was awesome very compassionate to my needs. Will definitely be a place for my dental needs.

Everything was exceptional. Starting the virtual check in by Gabby (I think that's his name) who was professional and courteous. Then Kiana, my hygienist was very thorough, gentle, and friendly. And the woman that checked me out (sorry, I didn't get her name) was also friendly and efficient.

The wait to get in for an appointment was quite lengthy but everything was great when we finally got seen. My 10 month old had his first dental appointment with Dr. Joshua Westphal and it could not have gone better. Dr. Westphal was patient, caring and made everything super simple.

My dental visit today was pleasant. I was anxious because of my sore tooth but the staff was friendly and made me feel at ease. The dentist was very helpful and made me feel very comfortable despite my anxiety. I appreciated the way that he took the time to explain in detail the procedure and everything that would come with it and the after care. Great experience.

For the first time in my life I was actually calm during this appointment. My anxiety level is usually high when going to the dentist due to having lots of dental issues to include teeth sensitivity. Kiana took care of my cleaning as she usually does, but this time I was very relaxed. We mostly chatted about travel plans which took my mind off of the cleaning. I was being a big girl (I'm 51 years old), calmly withstanding some sensitivity while she cleaned my teeth. It was a great day and a great achievement in my dental office history! Thank you, Kiana at Kamakana Alii office!!

Reception staff was efficient with my early check-in and there was practically no wait time for me. I was having a filling done by Dr. R. Siddiqui. Dr. Siddiqui professionally did the filling and was constantly informing me of the steps he was taking throughout the procedure which I appreciated greatly as it was his way of reassuring me to avoid the experience of no "surprises" during the short time in the chair. I'm glad I found this dental provider!

Been going here for a few years. Had different techs, all of them have been solid and friendly. I think I have had the same dentist, but am not sure due to facemask wearing during COVID. Very happy with the service here. Tons of parking too. Update as of 22JAN25: No COVID measures any longer in place. Still great service, short wait times, and friendly workers.

EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE! The best dental experience I have ever had. My hygienist, Jernell, was amazing!! She was kind, caring, knowledgeable, and beyond talented. It was painless, and my teeth are so clean and healthy now. Jernell performed a 2-day deep cleaning on me with many shots, and it was a breeze. I am so grateful for Jernell's expertise! Mahalo Nui Loa, Hawaii Family Dental.

My wife had a recent appointment with you for tooth extraction. The procedure was done quickly and all instructions were provided for healing. Also, there was some copayment adjustment that was reduced due to your effort to find out her additional coverage. Thank you very much for all the employees that are involved with this process. Happy Holidays to All!!

Their location is convient to get to and there's lots of free parking.
