Had a cleaning with Nina today. What a 5 star experience for me. From the moment she called my name I knew it was gonna be a good visit. She guided me as a professional and made me very comfortable with confidence as to where I want to be with my health in hygiene going forward. My actual clean was awesome and so relax. Really enjoyed the music! So relaxing…. I don’t ever take the time to leave comments but I felt today was the day to give back some good words. TY Nina at Hawaii family dental in Hilo. I look forward to my next visit and will try my best to stay on my path to success.

I want to say "Mahalo plenty" to all the staff that I came in contact w today for my crown delivery X 2. From The front "Avatar" check in Angela, to Davlyn, Malakai & Priscilla at the front counter to Genesis and Dr. Tapua. All were professional and expedient and sensitive to my scheduling of future appts and VA approvals. Genesis even w x-ray malfunctions she troubleshooted and discovered it was a computer issue. SHE promptly took me to a working x-ray and moved everything over to another workspace (including my personal belongings as to not inconvenience me), so kind and very calm, cool and collective, the Triple "C" dental assistant. I was impressed how she handled the stress of malfunctioning equipment and reset her computer to no resolve. This is my 2nd time w Genesis. .She also assisted and even held my hand when I had a prior appt to extract a tooth. She reassured me, all was gonna be fast and be ok, she could sense I was nervous & lilobit scared. She is diplomatic yet compassionate and I was happy she worked w Dr. TAPUA on my crowns. FYI I was glad she didn't react like the Triple A lady: assertive, aggressive & abrasive or go off like a bomb. That girl deserves a raise. And last but not least, Dr Tapua, she is always a pleasure to see, greets me, says what she's gonna do and does it. She calms me w her singing voice.I am happy to have my new crowns 👑😊. I usually dread going to the dentist, but I happen to like mine look forward to future appts as I know I can expect the same hospitable yet professional treatment and care. I especially appreciate that they value my time too.

My visit with Dr Kristiana Tupua today was professional and great. She put me at ease let me know what she was doing and game changing they used a bite guard (not sure right word) which took pressure off my jaw while she filled the cavity. Wonderful to not have my jaw hurt when done with dental work.. Great visit and office staff super helpful.

Great dental office. Nina does an extremely thorough cleaning and I always feel like she's helping me take good care of my mouth! The virtual stuff at check in needs to be scrapped. There are plenty of people there to do a human in person check in

I had a dental implant and needed a crown to fit the BioHorizon brand implant. Hawaii Family Dental did a wonderful job of creating and installing a very natural and perfectly fitting crown. I found Dr. Akioka to be highly skilled and knowledgeable about the process, and his assistant had refined and caring technique. I'm going to have another implant crown done by them in a few months. In addition, they have a discount plan available for purchase at $199 for any work done during that one-hear period. in 2025, I saved 50% on my implant crown, a sizeable saving!

My temporary crown cracked and fell off, but they were able to see me on a Sunday and install the permanent crown, which had arrived early—two weeks before my scheduled appointment. Their professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for their patients truly stand out.
