It was our first visit, so we had paperwork to do, for 2 kids. Sherlynn and Sheena were so helpful and made the process easy. She explained about their wonderful family plan which we signed up our whole family for it. It will save us so much money in the long run. The wait was short, the office is pleasant and they have a cute waiting room for kids. Once we were called in, Kyron our dental assistant made the boys feel safe and comfortable during prep and X-rays . Then it was time to meet dr kerns. What a sweetheart!! She was playful and loving with them. Cleaning done without tears and they even got goodies to take home! I’m so glad I found this center. Happy mama! Now it’s time to schedule my own visit and cleaning. Thank you Hawai’i family dental Lihue team! Big mahalos to all of you!! read less

Dr. Godla is a very competent and personable dentist. He didn't need much time with me this month, thankfully! Our hygienist was also wonderful.
Very courteous & great with reminders, friendly/professional staff, keep up the good work and Mahalo for all that you do!
The care my twins received here was excellent! The dentist and hygienist were fantastic and they made swift and reasonable accommodations for my son who was afraid and refused to leave my lap.

Cinnamon was one of the sweetest, most kind hygienists I've ever had. I was a little embarrassed by the amount of tartar on my teeth (it's been awhile since I had a cleaning) but Cinnamon made me feel comfortable and my teeth feel great.
It’s amazing how they take care of my daughter when they pulled out her tooth! At first she was scared but Dr. Kerns made her feel comfortable. Very efficient, caring, and friendly.
