I was expecting my second child and were very unhappy with our pediatrician at the time. We were…read morereferred to CMA by my sister, whose kids had been going to Dr. Yano for years and she always spoke very well of the practice. At the time, the only doctor available was Dr. Morita, who we loved instantly. It's been 7 years and she has been so wonderful with our children, very patient, and she relates well to the little ones. Our oldest is autistic and struggles with going to the doctor but she's always so easy-going with him, is super flexible with his comfort levels, is always on top of where he is at with his autism services, and offers advice and referrals whenever needed. Our little one (4) loves going to see "Dr. Dorita" and when we drive by the building, he shouts "my doctor's office". Dr. Morita's assistant, Daniel, has also been amazing, he's always so good with the kids and very patient and calm when my son freaks out about shots. He's usually there as soon as we walk in and will just wave us into the room. We have never had to wait more than a minute or two, which is a relief when you have three kids who won't sit still. I haven't really had to deal with the front desk staff, usually we just talk to Daniel or Dr. Morita, so I can't speak much to that area of the practice. We also really like that there is always a doctor available if Dr. Morita is out. The other two doctor's we've seen there have been really nice and equally as patient with our kiddos. We're moving out of state and are going to miss Dr. Morita and Daniel very much! We highly recommend you take your kiddos here, they've been so wonderful to our family!

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. Feels somewhat like a discriminating policy!! He only accepts new patients…read moreif the mom is "still expecting." That means if you already have a child--even just one, like me & want to switch to a closer doctor, HE WON'T TAKE YOU. Staff says he's unable to take new patients because he's "full"... however he would take me if my son was unborn? Full-of-bologna. What happens to families who relocate? Or are seeking better/closer care? EVERY CHILD DESERVES ACCESS TO CARE, NO MATTER WHEN THEY WERE BORN. His policy makes it really hard for parents who need care now. This tells me that some families are less worthy of care based on timing, NOT NEED. This kind of policy (which I've never heard of) may help manage his schedule & maybe he's looking out only for his own convenience, but it feels unfair to families who aren't expecting but still need support. They won't even give you a chance, they don't care, so don't bother calling.

I was about 7 months pregnant first time mom and didn't realize that establishing a pediatrician…read morefor your unborn was highly encouraged.

But hey, who does? If he does need 2 shots, it's soo fast! It seems like the nurse only gives him 1 shot, and I should know because I do not like when gets shots! The nurses are always friendly, and welcome us when we arrive. Recently, I dislocated my son's elbow (nurses elbow, waah!) and Dr. met me on a early Sunday morning. He saved me from an ER visit, and corrected my sons arm quickly and painlessly. #Happymother Thank you, Dr. Tamamoto and Staff! Love you all. Love, Asher, Brandon, and Tatiana Oshiro

He is never rushing, never dismissing concerns. What stands out most is how he interacts directly with my son. My son has a speech impairment, and Dr. Tamamoto patiently listens, gives him the time he needs to communicate, and makes sure he feels heard. He goes out of his way to make my son feel comfortable, which is not something we experience often in medical settings. He jokes with him, builds rapport, and treats him with genuine respect. As a parent, it is incredibly reassuring to have a pediatrician who not only understands complex medical care but also truly sees my child as a person. We are beyond grateful for Dr. Tamamoto and the care he provides. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I first heard about Children's Medical Associates because my brother and best friend bring their…read morechildren here. I heard about Dr. Yano specifically from a magazine article naming him one of the top pediatricians on Oahu. They highlighted how this office is open 6 days a week. LOCATION: This office is located in the Aiea Medical Building (yes the same building where Aiea Heights Drive Inn was). Parking is always a pinch here, and it's best to bring cash to pay for parking. CONSULTATION: Once I heard about Dr. Yano, I scheduled a consultation because I was pregnant with our very first baby. After I would say 3 minutes of our initial consultation I immediately knew I wanted him to be our baby's pediatrician. He is a man of god and he's not afraid to be honest with you. Our initial consultation felt almost like a marriage counseling session to prepare us as brand new parents. DAYS: This office is open 6 days a week. What office does that? They are AHHHH MAZING for that!! On Saturdays they recommend you call first thing in the morning to schedule an appointment, because they usually only work half days or up until they have appointments. FRONT OFFICE STAFF: They are all amazing. You can always call to schedule / reschedule appointments and make payments over the phone with your card. OTHER DR'S IN THIS PRACTICE: I have had the pleasure of visiting other physicians in this practice and they are all amazing, knowledgeable and most importantly caring! NURSES: I loooooove all the nurses here. They are so patient with our baby girl. If you are on the fence about picking this pediatrician versus another, trust me, make the right decision, CMA is the place to be.

The pediatricians that take care of my kids are very knowledgable and caring. At first they saw Dr. Paul Chan. He was excellent talking to children and parents, and suggested certain shots for them to take and gave sound advice. Unfortunately, he retired and now my son goes to Dr. Ryan Chung. He is also very nice and will explain thoroughly if we have any questions. Although appointments are always scheduled far in advance, they will fit us in when they can if my kids are sick, and I am reminded by email or text for appts scheduled far in advance. The front desk is always on it and if I have a question, the assistant or doctor will call within a day, usually after or close to closing. If their primary dr is off, there are 2 others that cover so I don't have to wait or find another doctor. They have a 2 story play area for little kids, and a hand sanitizer in the waiting room as well. Paid parking is in the building, but I always shop at pearlridge so I park at the pearlridge parking lot instead.

I decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lee Horita, and it was such a great experience. The office staff was amazing, responsive, friendly, and professional. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with aloha and were seen quickly. Dr. Lee was thorough in checking my daughter for a cough, and I was amazed by her attentiveness and care. In addition, I asked her about also taking my younger two children as new patients. My youngest was recently diagnosed with autism, and I was pleased with Dr. Lee's knowledge and transparency on the subject. I highly recommend this doctor's office.

I was a child under the care of Doctor Ogawa for 17 YEARS! NEARLY 18!!…read moreMy experience with him was horrendous! I want to warn other families, to please take precautions with this pediatrician. I'll be 20 years old soon. After leaving his office and finding a pcp, i have so many health issues that it affects my college life. I asked him for help multiple times and each time he minimized and invalidated what I felt. He told me my now known as Acid Reflux was from puberty. He also told me that my, now known as "staring seizures," were also part of puberty. Now I have been not only told that I have generalized epilepsy, but am also told that I have Major Depressive disorder, anxiety, possibly bipolar, and have ocd tendencies! I also have been having to do multiple testings to figure out what is wrong with me. PHYSICAL testings that my current doctors actually validate that what I'm going through and have been going through is NOT NORMAL!!! Ogawa only started taking actual action when i was 17. Mind you my issues had been going on since i was 12 or 13 years old and each time i went to him i complained of the same things and it got worse over time. If don't want your child to end up as I did, I suggest you find a different pediatrician. This is coming from a child that was under his care for years and who now has to suffer the consequences of his ignorance and irresponsibility! I might also add that a fee times i went in and had complained, he would tell me I never complained before since he "didnt document it" but i know for damn sure I told him what was going on and was simply brushed aside. Please be cautious for your child or children's sake!
