Patient Testimonials
Hawaii family dental lihue is a good clinic they have a good workers specially the doctors. But how I wish they have more doctors out there to make the process more easy and faster on all the appointments specially the emergency cases like tooth extraction and Dental implants

They were so nice! They got me in the same morning I called. I was only in the office 1 hour and the doctor had put a temporary filling over the exposed tooth to protect it until I can get the crown fixed when I return home. Thanks to the lovely folks at Hawaii Family Dental I was able to enjoy the remainder of my vacation with piece of mind. Mahalo nui loa! read less

The staff is excellent at working with the insurances and everyone is cheerful. read less

It was our first visit, so we had paperwork to do, for 2 kids. Sherlynn and Sheena were so helpful and made the process easy. She explained about their wonderful family plan which we signed up our whole family for it. It will save us so much money in the long run. The wait was short, the office is pleasant and they have a cute waiting room for kids. Once we were called in, Kyron our dental assistant made the boys feel safe and comfortable during prep and X-rays . Then it was time to meet dr kerns. What a sweetheart!! She was playful and loving with them. Cleaning done without tears and they even got goodies to take home! I’m so glad I found this center. Happy mama! Now it’s time to schedule my own visit and cleaning. Thank you Hawai’i family dental Lihue team! Big mahalos to all of you!! read less
