Very nice facilities and staff. They do a nice job of getting you in and out! My only recommendation would be to have a real person check you in, not a remote individual on a screen. Beyond that, I really enjoy it here and am am happy with the service they provide. Thanks for all your hard work!

Friendly and helpful staff (I believe Dr Ching was my provider). Very transparent with pricing - my filling was going to cost more than I was initially quoted (cavity ended up being bigger). A staff member came in before they proceeded to inform me of the new cost, which I appreciated! Will continue to be a patient of HFD.

The BEST DENTAL OFFICE with GREAT HOURS for the working person. Most delightful staff that are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and there is Dr. Azure Utley - She is a rare gem, indeed! BEST dental experience in my 55 years on this planet. Dr. Utley is warm, kind, and VERY capable! She clearly knows her work and even understands the deep impact of not feeling comfortable with your smile. Because she feels that - she makes

I had a wonderful experience with Hawaii Family dental. I was in need of a new dentist and had some dental issues. The check in was smooth and everyone was friendly. The dentist addressed all concerns and explained what was necessary to fix my dental issues step by step. No hard selling, no brush offs, just a plan to fix the issue. I was able to get a cleaning straight away. Because of my dental issue I thought it would be painful, but she was gentle and thorough. So far I'm very please.

Wait time was a little long from the appointment time, it took a little almost an hour but other than that staffs was friendly and kind. I’ll still give 5 stars due to the friendliness of the staff. They were very gentle with my daughter and that’s more important to me than a wait time.

My dental hygienist was great. She explained everything she was doing, and she handled my teeth, clean for a professional. My only complaint was that my bill for my fluoride treatment was not accurately priced. Upon receiving the fluoride treatment at the end of my cleaning session, I found that I had to pay an additional cost that I was not told about.

Since I had made the decision to switch dentistry, due to convenience now residing in Kapolei from my original home Honolulu, Hawaii Family Dental has been amazing!. From the front desk, to my hygienist & doctors all operate in a professional, caring & knowledgeable fashion. Mahalo!

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!
