Dentist
Dr. Ildiko Istvan
What would you like patients to know about you?
Dr. Istvan enjoys caring for her patients’ smiles and is humbled by having the opportunity to help others.
She recalls seeing a patient diagnosed with oral cancer. “He was going through a difficult time in his life and was recently told he had oral cancer. To find out you’re losing all your teeth, that the shape of your face would change, its devasting. Being able to provide dentures and seeing the patient regain self-confidence…showing that there was a way through this, it was fulfilling to make their life a little bit easier.”
When she’s not helping others, Dr. Istvan enjoys painting, paddling, and walking with her husband and dog.

Excellent service. I have been a patient of HFDS for 50 years. I've had many different dentists and hygienists over the years. Dr. Istvan and Dr. Stone were both outstanding in my latest visits: kind, comforting and precise. I felt reassured that I will continue to have great dental care. Also, the Staff were all friendly and helpful. All I can say is Bravo! Yvonne McIntire

I love going to the dentist because of the husband and wife team of Dr. Ildi Istvan and her husband Keith the hygienist. They've become more than excellent professionals they are like family. Warm, caring individuals that I have total trust in. Very pleased with their awesome service!

I have the BEST dentist on Maui and I couldn't be happier with the results of her incredible level of expertise and level of care. She is the best dentist I have ever had and I am so fortunate that I found her. I have had so many bad experiences in the past and she is a welcome relief. In my book she is the best dentist on Maui! Thank you Dr. Istvan!!!

It was a lucky day when I was referred to Dr. Istvan..
Her shining character, wisdom and meticulous work are a revelation. I've never had such a satisfying dental experience in my many years.
Dr. Ildy inspires confidence for good reason, three perfect crowns. Thank you!

I love Dr Iidiko Istvan! I have always been so stressed when going to the dentist. Now when asked how my dental visit went, I say IT WAS FUN!! Dr ildi is the best at making you feel comfortable, always tells you what she is doing as she does it, always checks to see if you are comfortable and feeling no pain. I am always entertained while she is bantering with her assistant Camille...they are so funny. Today's assistant was Jasmine. She also made me feel comfortable.. was so reassuring. I got in at a moments notice for an unscheduled appointment today to fine tune a crown....Dr lldi fit me in. I was In and out very quickly. The best dentist on Maui 😊

I see Dr. Istvan and Dental Hygienist Keith and have never had a dental group I’ve liked better. They are amazing and really embrace the aloha spirit!

I love their professional and caring service. From receptionists to the Doctors everyone tries very hard to provide excellent dental care. I especially liked my hygenist Edwin. And Dr. Ildy took great care to extract my tooth in a way that helped me remain comfortable during the whole process. She and her assistant were wonderful. I highly recommend this company.

I don’t know about the other dentists here but my 5 star rating is for the interaction I had with Dr. Istvan. I would highly recommend her and if I ever have dental issues in Maui again, I will do all I can to have her as my dentist!

Dr. Istvan is an absolute treasure in her attentiveness, care, expertise, and skill. I have never been comfortable in a Dentist chair than when under her care. I am so appreciative. Mahalo nui loa

I’m so impressed with the work Dr Ildy did on my fillings! I suffered from bad breath n never realized that replacing old fillings got rid of hidden areas for bacterial growth! No more bad breath!🙏😎

Great experience with my dentist here, Dr. IIdiko Istvan. She has been very informative, takes the time to make sure I’m comfortable, ( she seems to have a painless numbing technique!) keeps me aware of what’s going on with my teeth and makes sure that I am pleased with work she has done.The staff members I have had the pleasure to interact with, have all been great!

Not a good way to start my appointment with 8 dental employees and 4 patients (including myself) waiting from 7:30 until 7:55 because the employee with the doorkey had not yet come to work!!!!Once inside , everything was fine, Keith and DR. Ildy always do a very good job!

From start to finish, I had a great experience at HFD. Anna did a great job cleaning my teeth (and letting me know what areas need improvement); Tanner was an expert at x-rays and making me feel relaxed. Dr. Istvan was fabulous and extremely knowledgeable. Great staff!!

Dr. Ildiko Istvan Is the best dentist I’ve had, and sadly I’ve had too many to count with lots of horrific stories... She is patient and kind but highly skilled and precise
