For the peri-, within months, the night sweats and hot flashes were under control and my adrenals stabilized. In the 8 or so months since I began seeing her, I've asked her for help with low energy, back pain, insomnia, food sensitivities. Every time, she has offered me something that gets me back on track. In addition to being exceptionally knowledgeable, Dr. Alysa is an excellent and responsive listener. She is discerning in her approach, talks to me as an equal, and clearly explains why she suggests certain treatments over others. I also appreciate that she consults with colleagues, and enjoys keeping up to date on nutrition literature and trends. Perhaps in part why Dr. Alysa always has something new for me to try, often something I'd not considered. If you are looking for someone who is adept at handling complex health problems with great intelligence and ease- look no further!

Not only did she help me with the right hormones, but she helped with chronic pain and fatigue I've had for decades. When I caught Covid, she had the right recommendations to get me through the illness and prevent long COVID. I trust her to keep me healthy. She and my primary care doctor respect each other, so that my health is coordinated between the two. It's hard to find someone like Laurie Steelsmith. I'm glad she's here in Honolulu.

She doesn't take insurance but I don't mind since her prices are fair. I had ozone IV therapy at another clinic for $700. I didn't realize I was being ripped off until I came here and it was closer to $200 for the same service. She also listens to my concerns and lets me advocate for myself which is sadly not always the norm in healthcare. Her nurse and staff are also amazing. I would definitely recommend this place if you are interested in naturopathic care.

My experience with Dr. Kushner has been excellent. I've been dealing with severe eczema and…read moreallergies my entire life. I was also dealing with severe fatigue and inflammation. My allergies and eczema got exponentially worse after moving to Maui. I used to take several different types of topical, nasal, and injectable steroids and allergy pills, yet I would still wake up and sneeze 30 times in a row and be congested all day. I also suffered from intense, debilitating itching due to eczema and could not even go to the beach anymore. I was tired of the medication side effects and was literally at my wits end. Luckily, I found a good review of Dr. Kushner on Yelp and that pushed me to make an appointment. I was not sure what she could do for me, but was wanting to try a natural method as traditional ways of medicine were not working. My allergies, eczema, fatigue, and inflammation are now able to be well controlled through the natural methods prescribed by Dr. Kushner. I no longer need steroids. She is extremely knowledgeable and her help has been life changing. I was surprised to see how thorough she is. She really takes the time to understand your issues. I never would have thought that my symptoms would improve so much with supplements, dietary, and lifestyle changes. I HIGHLY recommend booking an appointment with her!!

In late 2016 our son experienced a massive life threatening anaphylactic episode landing him in the…read moreemergency room. We took him to the best Doctors and Specialists we could find and ran all the tests we could. We decided to fly our son to Queens Hospital to see an allergist to no avail. The Doctors ran allergy tests, skin prick tests, thyroid test, blood tests, liver ultrasounds. The only allergens found were to dust mites, roaches, & scallops. He also had secondary reactions to steroids and antibiotics given to him at the hospital. We were told it was idiopathic anaphylaxis and we would most likely never find the cause or the cure. He was instructed to carry epi-pens at all times. Our son has since had 3 more anaphylactic episodes the last one in November of 2017. We decided to seek alternative help and contacted Dr. Kushner. Dr. Kushner met with me first and just listened to me for over and hour about the events leading up to my son's first episode. It was so nice to be heard for a change. We set up an appointment for my son at a later date. Dr. Kushner spent several hours just talking and listening to our son. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone who actually listened. After Dr. Kushner gathered all the information & lab results she formulated a plan to help our son. He has since lost more than 23 pounds, the visible inflammation throughout his body has been drastically diminished, and most importantly of all he has not had an anaphylactic episode since we started with Dr. Kushner. His last episode was the one he had in November 2017 and It will be June 2018 this Friday. This will be the longest stretch that our son has had no anaphylaxis. We can not thank Dr. Kushner enough for all she has done. Mahalo

I can't recommend Dr. Kristine Williams at Kathryn Taketa-Wong & Associates highly enough. I first…read morereached out at the end of 2024 when I was dealing with complex and overwhelming health challenges that were taking a serious toll on my daily life. I wanted a holistic approach--one that combined lifestyle changes, nutritional support, hormone therapy, and supplements. What I received was so much more than I expected. Dr. Williams took the time to understand the full picture. She listened with care and compassion, giving me space to share what I was experiencing, both physically and emotionally. What began as a search for answers around perimenopausal symptoms soon revealed deeper underlying conditions, including POTS and PCOS--things that had gone undiagnosed for far too long. Dr. Williams created a comprehensive, science-backed plan tailored to my specific needs, based on lab work, ongoing testing, and consistent monitoring. Appointments are thorough, typically lasting 30 minutes to an hour, and every visit feels intentional and collaborative. Dr. Williams always makes sure I understand what's going on in my body and how each part of the treatment plan fits together. She doesn't reject Western medicine--in fact, she incorporates it thoughtfully when it supports overall healing. When I was prescribed anxiety medication, for example, she reviewed it carefully and helped me understand how it could help in my specific case. One of the things I appreciate most about this practice is the team-based approach. You're not just getting one doctor's perspective--you're benefiting from the expertise of the entire group. The providers consult with one another to make sure every aspect of your care is considered, which makes a huge difference. As with most naturopathic care, insurance doesn't typically cover upfront, but this office is extremely transparent about costs and offers a range of payment options. If your insurance allows for reimbursement, they even handle the claims submission for you--something I've found to be a massive help. The office environment is quiet, clean, and calming. The staff is welcoming and responsive, and parking is simple thanks to the attached structure (with validation included). They also use a secure app that makes managing test results, appointments, and communication incredibly easy. This is truly whole-person care--rooted in science, compassion, and a deep respect for the healing process. If you're ready to invest in your well-being and want a provider who will walk with you every step of the way, I cannot recommend Dr. Williams enough. This continues to be life-changing for me.

I have a spinal cord injury which is diagnosed as 'conus medullaris syndrome' for which the western…read moremedical community has no treatment or solution except for ongoing physical therapy. In my case, the syndrome manifests itself as a very tight right leg and foot, tingling and varying levels of numbness in my right foot, and stiffness and weakness in my right leg and core. This causes me significant difficulty in walking, necessitating the use of mobility assistive devices such as a walker, cane, knee cart, and shower bench. This has negatively impacted my quality of life, limiting my activities including travel, concerts, and more. Frustrated by western medicine, I received blessings through a family friend who referred me to Dr. Sato at Needles of Hope, I traveled...with difficulty...to Honolulu and underwent nine treatments over three weeks. I was able to walk without devices after just the second treatment! Traveling home was far easier than traveling to Honolulu. While not completely healed - this is due to something that triggers variances to my condition - the quality of my life has greatly improved and I am profoundly grateful for Dr. Sato's intuitive, incisive, and holistic care. She is truly a gifted healer! If you find yourself in a similar situation to mine, reach out to Dr. Sato to learn whether she thinks she can be of help. If she says yes, it will be worth every penny!

Dr. Mei-Lin is amazing!…read more In our quest for parenthood, I stumbled upon Maunakea Acupuncture. My Obgyn said to just continue trying and come back in a year if nothing happens. Me (being my impatient self) wanted to explore other possibilities. I'm still young and relatively healthy, so I was looking for a naturopathic option. She did an extensive consultation and walked me through the plan before we started acupuncture. She asked about things like my diet, lifestyle, and gave me great advice on what I should/shouldn't do. The next appointment was scheduled for acupuncture. I'm not sure if it was the timing or the stars just aligned. I immediately got pregnant after the first session! A pregnancy test confirmed it a month later on Father's Day. I saw her religiously during the first trimester and sparingly throughout my pregnancy. Based off my pulse, she was able to identify the baby's gender and confirmed we're having a boy! Now, a year later, we have a healthy and happy baby boy! I still see her once a month post partum to help my body heal. Thank you Dr. Mei-Lin! PS She also helped fix my reoccurring knee and ankle pains Thanks for reading my reviews!
