I had an awesome experience at my appointment today. I got all my questions answered and I was surrounded with a lot of happy people at Hawaii family dental. Dr spoke clearly and explained to me what can be done on my next visit in June. Thank you for helping me and God bless all of you.

My experience was excellent. Everyone there was professional , friendly, and competent. I would not hesitate to refer HFD to anyone seeking exceptional dental care in west Hawaii .I felt like they took care of everything, and made a very potentially painful procedure something that was a lot easier for me to handle!

My experiences with Hawaii Family Dental Centers has been uniformly positive! Staff are friendly and gracious, and my dentist, Dr. DeDecker is a pleasure to interact with. My treatment today was completely painless (crown prep) and I appreciated Dr. D explaining all the steps involved. Bernie (dental assistant) is super as well. She's a caring individual and it shows. Last, but certainly not least, is Jeff, our Dental Hygienist. My wife and I agree that he is very best! He is very gentle and thorough. I’d totally recommend this center and it’s staff to anyone needing dental care.

Jeffery is experienced-wonderful hygienist at Hawaii Family Dental. He squeezed me in this past week and worked diligently to clean my teeth and prepare me for a filling. He has been a hygienist for 17 years and received a 5 year second degree in hygiene. He also helped me obtain x-rays so the Dentist, Dr. Chris Rice, could review them. Dr. Chris Rice filled my surprise cavity when found and squeezed me into his busy schedule on St. Patrick's Day so I would be ready for a knee replacement on the 31st of this month and would not have any bacteria lingering in my mouth so infection could set in. He was kind and wonderful. Nothing hurt as the procedure took place. His assistant was great also. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE TEAM! You all supported each other and me and I am grateful. Six months prior I saw Sara Z. She is an awesome hygienist! She is gentle and simply does a great job cleaning my teeth. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. In addition, the doctor that looked in my mouth and also checked my neck did a great job. He was quick and informative. THANK YOU HAWAII FAMILY DENTAL IN KONA! Gratefully, Marian Krochka

We waited but we did come early. Front desk staff, Po’okela and Dr. T were so kind and gentle with Sanoe; my daughter has Down’s Syndrome and her mental disability was supported throughout this process of getting part of her initial assessment done. And finding competent dental care with Sanoe’s Medicaid insurance was a pleasant surprise. Many mahalos for your aloha!!
