Our whole family has been coming to see Dr. Adachi for years. The entire staff here is so kind and friendly. They know each of us personally and genuinely care. The office is bright and open and well run. My kids have never had a problem getting their dental work either and no sedation for routine work. My teeth are in the best shape and well taken care of thanks to this wonderful team. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Dr Gerald Adachi has been my dentist for 2 years now and I couldn't recommend him more. I have had to do fillings and each time has been a pain free and relaxing experience.

I rarely write reviews but Masami deserves the shout out - she is by far the best Dental Hygienist that I've ever had in many years. Her passion, skills, communication, professionalism, and customer service are second to none. She is well-prepared scrubbing my dental records for scheduled dental cleaning and very thorough following up. Her exceptional communication skills and patient education not only make my visits successful but also contribute significantly to successful home care. Dr. Adachi and her staff are excellent- competent, professional, and very approachable. The dental office is very modern and clean. I'm extremely satisfied with the dental care at this dentist office. read more

This is the worst dentist I've been to. I went in for a typical cavity filling, and ended up needing a root canal and crown. I kept going back to the office complaining about tooth pain initially after the filling was initially done. I kept getting told it just needed to be filed down and it would take time to adjust. Fast forward to a few months, the negligence resulted in a need for a root canal, which then resulted in an even bigger cost for the crown. For context, I had to see an out of state dentist in between these months because I was traveling and in so much pain. They turned me away because their x-rays showed I didn't need any emergency work done as far as a root canal. read more

I reviewed Dr Adachi's practice almost 10 years ago, and I am very sorry for that low rating. I kept going because the location was just too convenient for me, plus their on site validated parking. I have continued to see him now for a decade and couldn't be more appreciative of the care that he and his staff have provided. The office staff have always been efficient and supportive of trying to work with my schedule. I got my husband to be treated. I have had everything from normal cavities to advanced treatment, and have always found that they have the capability to see to all my needs with the latest equipment and methods. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone who needs dental work and wants to be treated by professional staff with knowledgeable insurance front office personnel. I am very glad to have found him as a dentist and plan to continue my dental care with them for the foreseeable future. read more

I have been using Dr. Adachi for many many years and in all that time I have always been well looked after and treated with great respect by him, his assistants and staff during these visits. My work takes me out of the country for weeks at a time, I can't afford to have any medical issues with my teeth during theses trips, which I have never had thanks to the excellent preventative care and quickly fixing any issues that I do have. All in all a great dentist that has my full trust to look after mine and my whole family dental needs. read more

Adachi Gerald DMD - Kaka‘ako Smiles - Front reception area. - General Dentistry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I found Dr. Adachi through the HDS website. The staff there are so nice and welcoming. From the first time I stepped foot two weeks ago, with my two children, we felt at ease. The staff and Drs are very thorough with our exams and the breakdown of what needed to be done for both children and myself. read more

Found this office through yelp. This is a father/daughter dental office. I personally wouldn't recommend either one of them. Seems like the front ladies are good at scheduling you in for initial appointments. The office comes up with a treatment plan after taking multiple X-rays, which apparently show you all the things wrong with your teeth (multiple cavities, gums issues, etc etc.) You sign a contract and choose a payment option, then off you go. The elder Dr Adachi is quite stoic, not very friendly and seems like he's just going through the motions. Perhaps after being in practice for so long, your passion declines and it'll show on your facial expressions, not even a mask can hide that and the way you interact with patients. His daughter, Dana is a new dentist. Great customer service skills and friendly, but I wouldn't trust her for dental procedures unless you would like to be an experimental patient in their office. Her father would check in during the appointment and when I had some questions, she would politely leave and consult with him, then come back with answers. She lacks experience and expertise and I'd much rather have a skillful doctor who knows what they're doing than someone who's nice and friendly. There is not much room for privacy in their office. I was in the waiting room and could hear what was going on with a patient and her teeth. I question the cleanliness of the office as well. I saw the dental assistant work on me and after I was nearly done, she literally hopped over to the next patient in the same gown and gloves and started assisting with the elder Dr Adachi. Did not see her wash her hands or change out her gown or gloves The one good thing is that location is great and convenient for those who live and work in town. That's about it. read more

Dr. Adachi and his staff are very friendly and professional, they have all their safety measures in place and are constantly cleaning the office after every visit. My husband who is afraid of the dentist due to too many bad experiences will only show up at his appts with Kaka'ako Smiles. Painless procedures, thorough initial visits, always advancing with technology. if you need a gentle, caring, painless, professional dentist that makes you want to come back for your followup? This is the place! read more

Dr Adachi is meticulous and all the work he has done on my teeth has been impeccable. He found things that other dentists ignored and saved me a lot of pain in the long run due to his preventive measures. His attention to detail is on point and he is very kind too which makes everything better when you're sitting in that chair. Honestly going to the dentist is not my favorite but everyone in this practice is so warm and friendly and caring - it feels so good to be taken care of here!! and I'm so happy to have avoided my worst fear - a root canal! read more

I was first introduced to Dr. Adachi thru my husband, 20 years ago, and have been a patient of his ever since. He is definitely the best out there. He uses the most modern technology, and has the most nimble fingers which helps him to be so meticulous in all his work. Dr. Adachi and his staff are all so kind, professional, friendly, and treat you as though you are family. If you are looking for a dentist in the Honolulu area, he is definitely worth checking out! read more

I really don't like going to the dentist, but I highly recommend Dr. Gerald Adachi and Kaka'ako Smiles!

Dr. Adachi and the folks at Kaka'ako Smiles were great. I've been seeing various specialists for my teeth and grinding problems for months now and no one has been able to figure out what's wrong. Dr. Adachi and team, during the appointment, was able to asses, and potentially solve my issue. It's been a few days and I'm already feeling better. I highly recommend them! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10 Pros- Professional knowledgable and caring staff Great location and validated parking Private clean and comfortable environment Calming and painless experience Cons- ZERO Dr. Gerald Adachi and his team are a blessing!!! I am so lucky to have found them by chance! From booking an appointment to getting my teeth fixed it was overall a great experience. Jen was amazing! I was in severe pain and she was able to get me to see Dr. Adachi the same day. They were supposed to close early that day but Dr. Adachi squeezed me in and actually stayed over time until he was able to help relieve my pain. Dr. Adachi is a kind, caring, and compassionate dentist. Along with his well-trained staff (which unfortunately I did not get their names, young girls) were also professional and friendly. They are constantly checking to see if you're okay, making sure everything is painless. No judgment, scolding, or inappropriate remarks. They treat you like family. The office itself is very comfortable! Their rooms are separated so you'll have privacy, the view is nice and they play local jams to help keep your mind off the noise. They also have validated parking which added a bonus. Leah is great at explaining what is covered by insurance and owed by you. I appreciate the transparency! Before I left his office, I noticed that Dr, Adachi had an award from the top dentist in Honolulu Magazine. Jen let me know that he does no advertising and gets all his clients from word of mouth. Amazing! So I decided to carry that tradition on via social media. If you're looking for a dentist in the Honolulu area, look no further! Dr. Adachi and his team are the best in town. P.S I forgot to mention that I was a new patient and they treated me amazingly. Can't imagine how they treat their regulars! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Dr. Adachi and the Kaka'ako Smiles Ohana! I am thankful!!! read more

I am visiting for a month. No sooner did i arrive, and a rear molar began hurting badly. I got a referral from a friend who lives in Honolulu for Kaka'ako smiles. I called and they got me in the same day. Dr. Adachi quickly determined that my teeth are ok and it was musular. I am a clencher and have inflamed an already deteriorated jaw joint. I found it hard to believe since my molar hurt so bad. But, Dr. Adachi convinced me i needed a mouth guard. They started the process that afternoon, a Thursday. Dr. Adachi worked on the mouth guard over the weekend and I got it the following Monday. Who does that? Thanks!! In the interim, i used cold packs on my jaw and the pain has nearly subsided. Dr. Adachi makes his own mouth guards and does not send them out. The doctor and his staff are super friendly. I wish Kaka'ako Smiles was my regular dentist! Thanks to them again. read more

My family and I have been Dr adachi's patients for almost 20 years and are extremely happy with his staff and his excellent dental work! I recently sustained quite a bit of teeth damage from a fall while vacationing on the mainland. Dr. Adachi saw me the evening upon returning home. He realigned and secured my teeth to allow healing and also patched my tooth that partially broke off. He completed the work in a hour. Except for the abrasion on my lip, no one would have known I had dental repair done on my teeth. I am forever grateful to Dr Adachi!!! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Adachi for many years now, originally referred to him after my dentist retired. He has done a lot of work for me, and is by far the best work I have ever experienced. His attention to detail, and your comfort is his goal, as well as his staff. Definitely worth the extra cost to have a professional who cares about his work do my dentistry. Always stands behind his work. He even had his staff call me this afternoon to make sure I was well, and everything was ok. read more

Dr Adachi is truly one of the leading dentists on the island. The work he does is better defined as craftsmanship. He is truly an artist, enjoys what he does, and have a wonderful bedside matter which helps the difficult task of being at a dentist go by quickly. His staff is been with him for a while, is friendly, and remember is you always by name. He is expensive, but in the dentist industry, you do get what you pay for. I highly recommend him for work done on your mouth that you do not want anybody to notice. read more
