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!

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!!

The dental service provided by Dr Moon and staff gets a 5 star rating from me. The care and treatment I experienced was excellent. They explained what procedures were being done, addressed my questions and concerns, and ensured that I was comfortable. Hawaii Family Dental - Kapolei has a very friendly and helpful staff. Their location is convient to get to and there's lots of free parking.

I really liked the cleaning service this time. She was so nice and gave me a delicate service. She was also concerned about my gum health and that was really nice of her. I would like to get her service again!

I had an exceptional experience with Leslie, my dental hygienist. She was gentle and compassionate, making the cleaning process comfortable. After 50 years of dental visits, I can confidently say this was the best cleaning I’ve ever received. Leslie’s attention to detail and caring demeanor truly set her apart. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and empathetic hygienist. You won’t be disappointed!

I somehow broke my two upper front teeth. Hawai’i Family Dental was able to get me an appointment the next day! I was thrilled. They assessed the problem, had me come back the next day and repaired them. I am so happy. My dentist and assistant are the best. The phone operator was also awesome. I love Hawaii Family Dental. Thank you to everyone there. You are all amazing.

All the staff, from the administrators to the hygienists and the dentists have been great!The front office communicates well with me about billing and upcoming appointments. The dental office and dental areas are tidy and clean, staff are always friendly and professional. Dr. Kirsch and his team have done an excellent job working on my teeth to make sure my teeth stay intact and cavity free. I highly recommend this dental clinic if you’re in the Ewa beach/Kapolei area!

Dr.Kirsh is the best!!! Everyone in the kapolei office is very warm and welcoming! I always feel like I’m catching up with a friend whenever I go in. And they are always very clear on what is being done and copays and even show before and after pics of procedures. The best!!! Highly recommend!!!!!

The Dr and the dental assistant were excellent!! However, the checkout wasn’t as pleasant. Took a while to just check out, they help check in multiple customers while I am standing there. At one point I had to go back inside to get the dentist assistant to help me check out. Don’t know why the girls at the front desk just simply say something like we will be right with you, or explain why I had to wait as they tend to new customers that were walking in while I was standing there…

My experience was amazing! They really take good care of you and explain everything that they are doing and going to do and they really listen to what you want!

Where should I start? Did I say this place is awesome? I've had Dr. Kirsh before and stop making appointments. Just this time I went back Dr Kirsh and the dental hygienist are so awesome. I have nothing negative about this place. Hawaii Family Dental-Kapolei are so clean and friendly staff.

The dentists and dental assistant really make sure you are OK during the procedures and give you little updates during, which is nice. The dental assistant, I wish I got her name is awesome! She made my visit fun and also made sure I knew what my options were going forward.

We love this dentist. He’s so awesome and makes the kids feel so comfortable! My daughter came to the appointment with my son last minute and she wasn’t even scheduled for her cleaning. Doctor took her anyways because it was a convenient time for me and so we wouldn’t have to come back! The whole office staff is amazing and we love them!

Very impressed and enlighten on my recent trip. I must say that the dentist was very informative, helpful and discussed future treatment plans as I will need more work that will be most definitely done by your office. And I want to personally thank your staff for being courteous, considerate and professional

Good overall experience, however, the scheduling staff is quite frustrating. Changed my appt from Feb all the way out til May, then the night before my appt they called to confirm it and it was changed to a different time due to a staff meeting supposedly and no one told me until the night before which interfered with my work schedule....

So I had my cleaning appointment with Jernell. My teeth feel so amazingly clean now! She educated me on the benefits of fluoride and why I should receive it! I did end up doing the fluoride and it tasted amazing! Like Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum! The front desk ladies were so pleasant. She also taught me how to correctly floss, and brush! Jernell even showed me the spots I need to work on better and which areas I should be watching! 10/10 would highly recommend a cleaning from her!
