Grossly mismanaged. Dr. Mellow seemed to put of my complaint until I got upset enough to say that something isn’t right and I will not have a final crown until we find out why after a root canal my tooth hurts 3 months later (still). Had a root canal in June fast forward end of Sept (I have called multiple times to check on the status of the crown, was it delivered? Any update?) nope. Come in today and dentist says I wrote I did the final impression but do you remember? I do not remember I’ve been under the impression my mold was at the lab and said crown was being made from mold. I brought up concern to assistant about pain and wanting to make sure it wasn’t the root canal tooth that was hurting. This was not shared with the dentist so I voiced up. I think I need a second opinion, I understand the concept of a root canal. I’m not supposed to have pain. After finally sorting out this never ending tail chasing. I have to come back, have a second root canal, then maybe just maybe we can get an impression and get final delivery.

Dr Mello and Dr Wiz are the best dentist and oral surgeon I've been to in years. I had an old filling that cracked and broke. They were able to get me in right away. Dr Mello was able to temporarily reduce the pain and got me on antibiotics so the infection would go away and I was able to get my root canal the following week by Dr Wiz. I hady root canal on my birthday and the whole staff sang to me. Highly recommend

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!
