Patient Testimonials
I have been bringing my children here since their very first visit, no matter how much times I've came my family and I always feel welcomed as if it were our first time. I can proudly say that I TRUST Dr. Chris with my children whom I am very over protective . For the last year my children have been seen and treated by Dr. Chris Nakamura and they have nothing but positive things to say about him! He addresses everything concerning as well as the little details, never leaves me out of the loophole and always asks what I as a mother thinks is best for my child. I love that! He has made my children who was very terrified of the dentist, look forward to their next visit thank you! And thank you Dr. Nakamura! Awesome service, awesome staff.
I have brought my children to many different dentists over the years but Dr Yamada at Hawaii Family Dental Kauai is the BEST. He is so patient and very caring. From my older children, all the way down to my 4yo, he reassures them and walks them through everything that's happening. He constantly encourages them and praises them during the entire visit. He is awesome!!!

Great experience Dr. Chris and staff was awesome with my son.. he was sent there as a referral from his other dentist.. now I switched to them for sure!!
You guys are awesome! It takes something special to make others around you feel comfortable and to do it to a 3 yr old makes it even more amazing!! Dr. Chris and the whole staff is always so friendly and so good at what they do. It's no wonder why my older son didn't want to leave and go to an adult dentist!!
Dr. Chris are both awesome with my kids. The rooms are decorated so nicely with most children's favorite characters. Make the kids feel more at ease.
Dr. Chris was great, and so was the rest of the staff--very friendly. Nice child friendly office: cute play area and neat examination room setups. Each room has a theme, like Moana and there's a tv on the ceiling to help distract the children during their appointments. My son already says car every time he goes since he knows he gets to choose a toy at the end of his dental exam.
After having an awful experience at another dentist with my son, we came here and couldn’t be happier. My son, 4 and daughter, 2 have been excited to go to the dentist since we started coming to this practice. Christopher Yamada was so lovely and we were in and out fast! I love when professionals know how to deal with children and make them feel comfortable. Thanks you guys!
Now that my 2nd and final crown appointment has been completed I can only emphasize my great satisfaction. Dr. Chris and his assistants are professional, friendly, informative, and -especially if you have HDS--affordable. The great Hawaii Family Dental experience begins with their fabulous and verdant courtyard and continues through all the office procedures. Choose them!
The entire team is amazing! My children have been seeing Dr. Chris for almost 5 years now and we've never had a bad experience. The assistants are great, too! They're kind, patient, and quick. Hands down best dental experience we've ever had!
Love the new office (though I never saw the old one). The hygienist we had was amazing with both my kids, answered all our questions and had great tips for brushing our 2 year old's teeth and flossing our 5 year old's teeth. Dr. Chris was also super nice and great worth both kids. We will definitely be going back again and again.
My daughter hated the dentist, but because of the amazing staff at HFD, especially Dr. Chris, my daughters experience is now a good one. Dr. Chris shows she cared for my daughters healthy smile as well as her feelings to make she sure was okay every step of the way! We’ve gone through MANY dentist, and this one is by far the best one!
Took both my boys 7 and 20month mo. Old to see dr yamada today. 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!!
Dr. Chris are both so kind and friendly! We take both our daughters there and we couldn't be more happy. We've been to several different dentist but none seemed to fit.
My older daughter has some really bad teeth and Dr. Chris has been so amazing. From the recommendations and treatment plans, he's very knowledgeable and not pushy. He makes us feel so comfortable! My daughter is not scared anymore and actually doesn't mind going in to see them!
