Dr. Stone is an excellent periodontist. I was referred to him to evaluate problems with my implant. Dr. Stone did a thorough evaluation of the condition of my implant and provided a detailed explanation of the issue and recommendations to correct the problem. I followed everything to the “T” and went back to see him on Wednesday and my condition has been corrected. I appreciate Dr. Stone’s care, expertise and thorough plan to help correct my problem. I recommend Dr. Stone to anyone looking for an excellent Periodontist!

Love the dental hygienist. Not a fan of the new check in process using someone remote in a monitor. Had to pay staff that are in house so doesn’t make sense.

Sydney was very nervous going in to get her cavity, but after the procedure was done, she felt very comfortable with how the dentist handled everything. The dentist took time to explain the procedure as he did it to her and put her at ease.

I had an appointment yesterday, June 13 2024 with my dental hygienist, Christy Buchanan. She has always been lovely and helpful regarding my gum health. 5 stars for her.However, it was a totally different story regarding my interaction with the operations manager. Krissy advised me to talk with the operations manager regarding an insurance claim.The operations manager was so irrate, harsh, and not helpful at all in clarifying the insurance matter. She was unkind and showed no compassion and understanding.I hope that in the future she would be more mindful of her behavior especially when talking to patients/clients.

Wonderful young professional staff. Great cleaning experience. My only complaint is that the seating in your reception room is disgusting. The chairs fabrics are so stained and dirty that I hesitate to sit down. Not a good reflection on your image

When I first started going to hawaii dental I had major mouth issues that I had been dealing with since childhood and some that were caused during a traumatic event. Every single person in the office I interacted with were so sweet and kind and helped my with my dentist anxiety. After a few months of going in for the first time in 20 years or so I had a pain free mouth and could look at myself in the mirror and not be reminded of a bad event that happened. I am so thankful for everyone there and recommend them to the highest degree. ❤️
