This is not the first time I’ve left a review for the amazing team at Hawaii Family Dental. My husband is not a fan of the dentist but today after his appointment, he told me that he wishes he hadn’t waited this long to take care of his teeth. Being a business owner, it is so important to look and feel good about yourself. Dr. Matsumoto has made him feel so much more confident with his smile. His dental assistant Geila does an amazing job making him feel comfortable and works so well with Dr. Matsumoto. He also sees Ashton for his cleanings and he always tells me how gentle and thorough Ashton is. Thank you all so much!

Great customer service! Very friendly and professional. Dr Matsumoto have gentle hands that’s why my fear on dentists disappeared. Had many dental works done in the past before Dr Matsumoto, and they have heavy and rough hands that made the procedure very painful. Great place to go to get dental works for sure!!! Mahalo for all the staffs for making me feel welcome and detailed oriented.

I am delighted with the atmosphere and treatment at this dental center. Everyone I have interacted with has been kind, friendly, respectful, cheerful, and professional. Edwin is one wonderful hygienist, who is gentle, careful, and thorough, along with all of the above... he practically sings when he is saying "open" and "close."
Compared to my childhood and even young adult dental experiences, both the equipment (tinier needles, quieter and smaller drills, water-cooled cleaning tool, etc.) and the practitioners (more skilled, kinder, gentler, more understanding, willing to answer all questions and explain what is going on at each step of treatments, etc.) are far superior.
I actually feel joy at this dental center, and am very pleased with the results of my treatments. When they answer the phone with "Its a great day at Hawaii Dental Center," they mean it, and it is true.
My experience here is almost painless, and sometimes actually pain-free. Dr. Matsumoto is gentle and skilled, patient and kind.

Saw Dr Brian Matsumoto today. I've seen so many different dentist in the last 2 years. And by far he is the best. I didn't feel rushed. He sat and listened. He examined my mouth thoroughly. Took time to explain. His defiantly my go to Dentist. I highly recommend him. Staff was awesome. Polite and welcoming. Highly recommended 👌

Everybody in the office from admitting to technicians to doctors and other assisting staff was very friendly and professional. The staff was punctual, never waited more than a few minutes from the time of the appointment to be called in. Great job, we highly recommend this practice to anybody with dental needs. Mahalo to staff, special Mahalo to Dr. Brian Matsumoto.

So far so good. A very pleasant young lady checked me in. It was my first time at the clinic, and I was very nervous, because my teeth are in a deplorable condition. No one shamed me or pressured me. Dr. Matsumoto designed a plan for me, and I felt comfortable with him. Nancy's cleanings were very thorough, and I was so relieved that she gave me the option to have an injection for the deep cleaning phase. I'm looking forward to gradually addressing my dental issues at this clinic.My second visit yesterday went great. Dr. Matsumoto is very kind, and he explains what's happening. His humble, yet confident manner puts me at ease. The hygienist was very sweet. All the Staff whom I interacted with was friendly and professional. I'm clear on what dental Care is needed, and it has to be done in increments because of my senior budget, yet no one over-pressures me. I'm very pleased with the fillings that were done yesterday, and I'm looking forward to future care at the Clinic.

My second visit to the clinic went very well. The hygienist was very sweet, and Dr. Matsumoto kept me informed during the process of fillings. He is very kind, positive, respectful, and confident, which puts me at ease. I’m looking forward to future visits, which need to be done in increments, due to my Senior budget. I appreciate that no one over-pressures me. I find the Staff to be friendly and professional.
