Pediatric Dentistry

Nina is the best! She is very fast and professional at her work, and is a great person to talk to as always.

From the first dental visit of their life, as a toddler, or all the way to being being a teen getting dentist and orthodontist... my kids have always felt comfortable and respected. They frequently ask when they get to go to their next appointment. I'm sure it sounds like a commercial. I had a lot of stress about finding a good dentist, because of nightmare stories my friend's kids experienced. There was no stress or concerns of that at Hawaii Family Dental in Kona. I got to stay with my children, while a Disney movie of their choice was playing, and I got to make glove balloon animals while they were getting their teeth done.... and leave them to cheer up other kids. Can't recommend them enough. My kids will be sad when they have to switch to adult dental. They will miss all her jokes and the ways she makes them giggle and accidently splash her... good thing she wears goggles and protective apron. 🤣

Dr Sieka is so amazing! We are so lucky to have her on the Island

Dr. Westphal was wonderful with both of my children (both under 5). He was very caring, patient, and non-judgmental, which made the visit much easier for them. His team was also very friendly and expedient. They took the time to make my kids feel comfortable and safe. I’m very grateful for the positive experience and would highly recommend him to other parents.

I want to say "Mahalo plenty" to all the staff that I came in contact w for delivery of my occlusional guard w Dr. TAPUA. She is so hospitable and always asks me: "How am I doing"? Her singing lowers my high blood pressure cuz I get white coat syndrome at dentist & doctors appts. Her dad is a veteran so I feel she respects me for my service too.Two hours later, the same day; they had a cancelation w Hygienist Nina and she called Dr.TAPUA to see me again, the second time in same day. How lucky for me and special thanks to Malakai for informing me of that cancelation. And Nina, she is tough, tells it like it is but so thorough too. She told me to get a water pik to use after I brush my teeth and floss; so I did and it is a teeth saver for sure! She is calm, cool & collective, really knows her job and is dedicated to the core plus has a sense of humor. She even cleans my top flipper, so I bring it every time I come for a cleaning. My youngest granddaughter's name is Nina too; so I always show her pictures on my phone.I liked the new virtual check-in and talking without the gauze covered microphone to review the data on the screen and sign to confirm ur data is unchanged or update any changes. Angela always happy, receptive, courteous and professional. I especially appreciate that all staff value my time too. Scheduled my next appointment in August for my next cleaning andcwas on my way home. Unfortunately, I had to call yesterday because I broke a crown just eating a salad 🥗 🙃. When I called, Lourdes gave me an appt and respectfully put in request to get approval for treatment from the VA (cuz am a veteran) w Dr. Tapua in March or sooner if possible. At least I still have all my front teeth, top & bottom, no windows...YET, God willing!. "Aging ain't for sissys lol". So grateful!

Dr.Shin is top notch and so personable. All his assistants thus far have been amazing as well. I highly recommend this dental office for not only ortho with Dr.Shin, but also cleanings and dental work by the professional and top tier dentists Dr.Siddiqui and Dr. Fernandez, who I’ve also had the pleasure of receiving care from. Shoutout to Gabby on da screen check in too for always bringing a warm smile and aloha spirit. Can’t forget Alexi either! Go to this office now, go!!

They were great and always attentive to my daughter needs and Dr Sieka is the best ! She is so funny

The team did a great job, Dr. & nurse made sure my daughter was well aware of what work needed to be done, and made her very comfortable.

Very professional yet personable. Very well managed, communications, comfortable surroundings. 5 stars to Dr Mello, Hygentist Yanna and 5+ stars to Dr "Gene" They all show real care and that you are not just a number 🙂

They are always good to me and my son here. 🤍

Dr. Jason and the technicians are very professional, efficient and personable. Hishly recommended.

Dr. Sieka is simply amazing! She takes the time to make the kids are comfortable and works hard to ensure they have a good time! She’s engaging and knowledgeable. I cannot sing her praises enough!

Un exelente servicio son geniales en atender amables muy serviciales gracias de antemano

Always great professional services from Jen . Front desk personnel are always friendly and efficient.

A pesar de no hablar español son muy tratables y asen lo posible por tener una buena comunicación gracias de antemano 🙏

My daughter had a wonderful visit with Dr Shin today. He is very encouraging and she loved that he showed her photos of what her teeth looked like before invisilign compared to what they look like today. She was very excited about her progress 😬♥️

We love Hawaii Family Dental and Dr Westphal is amazing with our kiddos and he works with them where they’re at.

Very professional from check in to being brought to cleaning, the cleaning person I am seeing her in 6 months

Office personnel were all very friendly and my dentist Dr. Young did a great job of explaining the procedures and making sure I was comfortable.

I really enjoyed having Dr.Chang as my doctor for my "TEETH" she's very funny and can go with the flow of having a fun personality. Looking forward to having her as my doctor for a life time. Oh, I forgot the other person is Tina (side kick "LOL") They both make a good, fun team. They greet you with a smile and small conversation then we laugh. Just like "Ohana" and yet we're not related. I've gone to doctors where they just do their thing no interaction. So serious. I think they call it bedside manner. "NO" Besides Tina, theirs Lifan my billing/collector$$. Very patient he explains the "Best" he can. You can call and he'll do his best to work things out. I really enjoy my time at the Dentist with these people! They All Deserve 5 *****'s each. Wonderful mix bag of People! Love It and Mahalo, Jowin Carey
