Very awesome dentist!!!...Dr. Carrico is a very thorough dentist, always going the extra mile in his approach to helping/serving his patients. Thank you sir. read more

So consistent over 15 years! Skilled, friendly, and with heart in all the procedure I've received. Both Dr Carrico and his staff are wonderful! read more

My husband and I had been going to Dr. Carrico for our dental needs for 10+ years. Due to a move we could no longer go to him and miss him so very much. It's been 4 years since our move and I haven't found another dentist that cares for my health, how my teeth look (and works within my budget) as much as Dr. Carrico. He could always figure out a solution to the problem - even if temporary, when I couldn't afford a major full-mouth makeover at the time. My teeth, after years of prior bad dental work before I found Dr Carrico, were a real work in progress. The last wonderful but temporary solution lasted 5+ years. I praise him every time I leave another new dentist that I've tried. I guess he spoiled us with genuine professional care. Now it seems the dentists I go to are happy to leave me in pain and unable to eat unless I can fork up thousands for minor work. I miss you Dr. Carrico!! read more

I'm a returning customer to Dr. Carrico. Him, his wife and staff are so outstanding. I was getting composite filling for my teeth gap. He did such an awesome job! It came out perfect, matched all my other teeth. Definitely recommend him to anyone and their office is very sterile. read more

Dr. Carrico and his team are really top-notch. I go to him for cleanings and also occasional fillings. He did an amazing job on a cap that has lasted a very long time and is indistinguishable from my real teeth. read more

My husband and I were looking for a new dentist so read a lot of reviews. First my husband went in and had a positive experience so I've also gone in. Dr. Carrico is very thorough in his initial examination and explains clearly his assessment and recommendations. He offered suggestions but didn't push us to do expensive upgrades on prior work like the previous office. We're happy we made the move, and think well of his staff too. read more

Magic hands, awesome Staff. I'm usually that guy that hates going to the Dentist, but after yesterday's crown I've officially changed my opinion. They treat you with honest caring and a superb job. Mahalo Nui. Recommend to everyone. read more

Dr Carrico is great. Good patient communications, nice people, quality work. Highly recommend him.

After seeing the dentist I've been going for quite a while who told me I needed a crown for a molar that a portion cracked off the tooth basically still had the roots intact and the chipped part only affected part of the top of the Molar, finding out about the very expensive price for it I decided to try Dr. Carrico to get an second opinion, it was a very good experience as he is personable and told me the different options I had he told me that it could be repaired with out a crown and that I wouldn't have to grind down the tooth essentially destroying most of the original tooth to put a crown. Although I'm no dentist I had worked in a Dental Lab for a number of years and I much rather keep most of my teeth than having to grind it down for a crown. The experience I had was much more modern than my old dentist and I was very impressed with the results even the color matching was better than the crown I previously got from my old dentist which seemed way off. Having this repair for a few months now I am very happy with it and much happier than with the previous crown I got from my Old Dentist. As a Yelper for a number of years, I did read some of the other reviews and seems all the bad ones are quite suspect with very few reviews and those reviews that those people did do are all bad for almost all the businesses they've been to, seems to me I think they just seem to be really unhappy people in life..or fake. I'd recommend going to Dr. Carrico. read more

See all

I enjoy my dental visits with Dr Carrico and awesome friendly staff. Thank you for all you do to make my experience pleasant, no stress and affordable...very clean and organized. read more

I went to this dentist and had multiple fillings (6 per occurrence). I had so much pain that I couldn't sleep all night. I now go to Dr. Marcus Hannah and experience pain free dentistry. He is also much more modern and clean. Agree with the other reviews that Dr. Carrico's office was run down. I even thought the Dr. had a somewhat sloppy appearance to match. **I'll edit to two stars, since the dentist at least reads his ratings read more

Anyone using Dr. Carrico for anything more advanced than a filling, a tooth extraction or a root canal should not trust this dentist to do it. I had a procedure done about 4 or 5 years ago that turned out to be a nightmare. I went in to see about some partial lower dentures and was told I could keep all my original lower teeth and that the results would last the rest of my life. But, after the first day of the procedure 3 of my seven original teeth were gone. The rest were ground and re-shaped to a not so pleasing appearance. To top it off, after only a year or two the snaps that held in the partial dentures failed and had to be removed and could not be reattached. In my opinion Dr. Coward Carrico lies and lacks the skill to do anything more complicated than pulling teeth. /Dave read more

I have been a dental patient of Dr Carrico for many years. He is an excellent dentist and a very caring person. I highly recommend him for dental needs. read more

Who do you Trust? I am 66 years old and can count on one finger the number of dentists that I have been to that I Trust. Dr Carrico is that dentist. Technical expertise, long term planning, fair billing and taking gentle care of a sissy patient. The helpful Staff and wonderful care that I have received over the years is greatly appreciated. I am moving to Phoenix and will be searching for a dentist. If anyone knows of a dentist in Phoenix that they Trust, please let Dr Carrico know and he will pass the name along to me. I have no higher praise than to say, I Trust Dr Carrico. If you are looking for a dentist to Trust, he will have one opening soon. read more

I used to love in Waimanalo and I started going to Dr. Carrico because my grandmother went to him. This is back in 2009. Since then I've moved and now live in Waianae but refuse to see anyone else. Dr. Carrico and his staff are the best! They are all so nice and friendly and really concerned for you as a person. They are understanding and really they feel like family. I will continue to make the drive to the east side because of the great service I receive here. My teeth are in great condition because of this place. I've been educated over the years about the importance of taking care of your teeth and practicing good dental hygiene. Love this place! read more

Yuck!!!! He has the patients right next to each other like cars getting oil changes in a garage. The last time I went, the lady in the chair next to me was moaning during her dental work. I gave them a second chance and during my recent cleaning, I listened to my neighbor ( 2-3 ft away) getting their teeth drilled. I need work on a tooth that he "repaired" but now they have no record of it ( despite the hefty bill) & suggest I have it DONE AGAIN. Or at least that's what his receptionist said. Doctor Carrico doesn't even take the time to explain the options...not even a hygienist but the receptionist! I'm supposed to discuss an implant, bridge or root canal with the receptionist? The place is gross and not- professional! ***the reply from the Dentist tells you everything you need to know to pick another dentist!!! read more

I went to see this "dentist". First, I was told I had 3 cavities and need 1 tooth capped. Then I was told I had 6 more cavities and 2 more teeth capped. I saw another dentist and he said my teeth look great! No cavities. Don't stop at this place. read more

Beware!!! He will talk you into procedures you don't need!!! He told me I needed all kinds of expensive work done and all of it was a lie!

Been coming to Dr. Carrico since he opened and really enjoy the visit every time i come. I live in town and don't mind taking the drive into Kailua for my dentist appointment. He is very professional and has a great staff. They really take good care of you. I mostly come for cleanings but i did have to get a crown done after cracking one of my molars and the job he did was outstanding. I tell everyone if they need a really good dentist to come to Dr. Carrico. In my opinion one of the best dentist in Hawaii. read more

Once Dr. Carrico shines... I did another introduction to Dr Carrico today as my friend suddenly had a problem with one of her teeth.. The staff worked with us and got her in right away... She loved the staff and really thanked me for the introduction and said it was a great experience and will be back! read more

Great service and great staff! They make dental visits a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend!

Smile! If you're a patient of Dr. Carrico you have every reason to smile. A patient gentle dentist combined with a friendly competent front office staff. How can you lose? Except bad teeth and other dental problems probably caused (as mine are) by a failure to follow up on regular dental preventative maintenance because I HATE dentists!!! But I don't hate Dr Carrico. He's awesome! read more

I was in extreme pain and Dr. Carrico and his staff were able to get me in same day and fix the problem on my very first visit! Both he and his staff were professional and soothing as I had to have a tooth removed and dentists are not my favorite place in the world. I emailed the office over the weekend and they were able to get me in on Monday as soon as possible. I would highly recommend to anyone their services, as the whole experience was exceptional. I created my yelp account because of this dentist, enough said. read more

It's amazing that such a powerful and knowledgeable dentist can be so gentle and kind to someone when in the chair. While on vacation I had some teeth problems and Dr. Carrico and staff adjusted their schedule to work on me including early morning and weekend. The staff was kind as well. He made two permanent bridges and a bite guard for me. I'm now back on the main land with my teeth in order. Thank you Dr. Carrico and your wonderful staff!!! read more

Your search for a Great dentist is complete. I have been going to Dr. Carrio for 12 years. I went to him with a mouth full of 6 pepsis a day cavities and a fear of dentist. I am now 63 years old with two implants, several crowns, all the rest of my natural teeth, a happy good looking smile and a great respect and appreciation for the skills of this dentist. He is great at taking good care of people who hate/fear dentist. I actually look forward to office visits. Never thought I would ever say that but it is true. Stop looking.......start going.....you have found The Best. read more

Needless to say, everyone that works here was more than accommodating. I scheduled really last minute and didn't have much time and yet somehow they managed to squeeze me in and got all the work done that I needed. I don't live in Hawaii anymore but every time I visit home I will be coming here again. The entire staff is so friendly. They made me feel right at home from the moment I sat in the chair (and mind you, I can easily state that the dentist always makes me nervous and I never enjoy the experience). But this was different. I left really happy and had no anxiety while I was in the chair (which was a really long time) and little to no pain (a lot of work too). They even ended up staying a little later than normal and not once did they guilt trip me or make me feel uncomfortable. Super professional staff that treats you like family, how can a trip to the dentist get any better?! Ps. Doctor and jasmine are really funny and fun to be around :) read more

This doctor is a rip-off artist. I had had regular care by another dentist and went to see Carrico for a specific issue. He went off telling me how I had "alot going on" with my teeth and he proceeded to create this fake long list of things I supposedly needed done. I showed it to my regular dentist who was livid at the blatant and phoney list that Carrico said needed doing. His staff is unhelpful as well. Avoid this dentist at all costs. Go to a qualifed dental professional. read more

Overall not a good experience, starting with the almost hour long wait time in his tiny waiting room with 4 chairs staring at the 2 receptionists who double as billing agents. Dusty, old, uncomfortable! Went for a consultation, ultimately deciding on a different dentist! After reading the other 1 star reviews I now fully understand why many, including myself, didn't chose Dr. Carrico read more

When I moved to Kailua from the mainland, I needed to find a new dentist. I found Dr. Carrico through his fancy and inviting website. However, when I arrived at the office, I was disappointed with how dirty the rooms were. Dr. Carrico gave me a long evaluation, reviewing all my teeth, then told me I had multiple cavities and needed caps, a dental guard, and multiple other dental work. He said my estimate is $2,500 for all the work needed to be done. I have never had a cavity in my life, nor needed braces or anything, so was shocked my dentist from the mainland (who was my dentist for 30 years) never recommended any of this. I faxed my mainland dentist Dr. Carrico's estimate and he said "RUN AWAY as fast as you can! He is scamming you". In fact, Dr. Carrico said I needed work done on my wisdom teeth (which I had extracted 5 years prior). He is the reason why people are scared to go to the dentist. Save yourself a lot of money and piece of mind and go to Dr. Sonson in Kailua. It's a clean facility, with nice staff and excellent service. read more
