On Small Business Saturday, I met Nurse Joan. She was sweet and friendly, so…read more.. I allowed her to look at my legs...Haha! Yes, she was a stranger! And then, she even touched my legs! LOL! She was assessing me for varicose veins! I didn't think I had "diseased veins" because they weren't bulging out of my calves. However, using an ultrasound machine, the width of the veins can be measured. If the veins are too wide, the valves are unable to pump the blood back up to the heart from the lower extremities. I went to Nurse Joan's office in Waipahu. She works with Doctor Danelo Canete at the Hawaii Vein Center. It's a clean, tidy clinic with free parking in the front. I like the cute decor in the waiting area and the convenient water dispenser...Haha! The ultrasound technician was very professional and knowledgeable. He told me that the veins in question are superficial and other veins can be used in the future if needed for heart bypass. So, if we close off the diseased veins, other veins can take over...no problem. Hmmm...I'm still thinking about this procedure. If I do it now, I can prevent bulging veins, have less cramping, and feel more energetic. I didn't realize that my legs were tired due to varicose veins. I thought I was just walking and standing too much! LOL! I'll be back for further assessment!

Don't listen to that childish one star review by Mauricio. If you look at his reviews, he's…read morenotorious for leaving one star reviews when people don't bend over backward for him. Plus, his complaint about Kailua Cardiology not taking HMSA is bunk, as I have HMSA. He's about as petty as they come. That said, Dr. Markarian and her nurse, John, and the rest of the staff are hands down the best. Wouldn't trust my life with anyone else. Helpful, understanding, and best of all - you can reach them when you need them. That's important for me, in a day and age when we lack family doctors and sent to the urgent care or ER.

Cardiologist appointment in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. My mom told me that she had a doctor's appointment at Kuakini Medical Plaza. I asked her if she wanted me to go with her... Sure! LOCATION: Maika'i Hearts is at the end of the hallway on the 7th floor PARKING: $3 with validation for the first 3 hours ENVIRONMENT: clean, well-lit, air-conditioned, simple decor SERVICE: efficient and professional I have no complaints. Dr. Giselle Baquero entered the exam room about half an hour after the scheduled appointment time. Before that, mom checked in, got our parking ticket stamped, and was shown to the examination room. Her blood pressure and weight were measured and recorded. Her list of medications was verified. The doctor stood up during the appointment and typed notes on a portable computer. She listened to mom's heart and lungs, checked for leg and foot swelling, and made recommendations. Front desk staff scheduled two diagnostic tests and made mom's next appointment. We'll be back in six months! Note: face masks are still required in the building and office

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Markarian for much of the past decade…read more Dr. Markarian is a highly skilled Cardiologist who LISTENS to her patients and cares for their well-being. I recently was scheduled for back surgery; however, my "White Coat Syndrome" response as I was wheeled into the operating room caused my blood pressure to spike so high that the surgery could not be performed. I called Dr. Markarian's office and despite her busy schedule, I received an immediate appointment. The alternative medication se prescribed has quickly returned my blood pressure to normal levels. She will now work with me to develop a strategy to address the "White Coat Syndrome" problems that canceled my surgery. Dr. Markarian's staff (particularly her head nurse - John) are superb - communicative, caring, respectful, and highly skilled. My wife and I give Dr. Markarian and her clinic the highest marks.

Doctor William Dang forgot to or just did not refill…read morethis medicine at my last appointment and when I went to refill the prescription I could not. I had to call him on a weekend to get it refilled as I need this medicine every day. He said he wasn't going to spend the time waiting on the phone with the pharmacy because it takes 20 minutes, and that I'll just have to miss 2 days of my medicine. This is completely unacceptable and when I called my pharmacy to follow up they said there was no wait time to speak to them if a physician calls. I will definitely be finding a new doctor who cares more about his patients.

Besides inpatient services at POB III they also provide services at Queen's-West Oahu, their Healthcare Centers on the Neighbor Islands, and outpatient cardiology. They share a remodeled check in and waiting area with the Geriatric Practice. When you are called a nurse will greet you, go over your current medication list, weigh you, and take vitals. You will then be assigned a room, probably by an APRN who will gather or provide more specific information for your visit. The physicians here work closely with their own dedicated APRNs. There may also be someone undergoing clinical CVD training shadowing the physician. I am very comfortable with how they work together as a team. When you and your physician are done the APRN or RN will walk you to an area where you will make your next appointment and receive a summary of your visit. Someone will direct you to the exit area which is in a different area from the reception waiting area. This is an extremely busy practice and despite the apparent size they have to cram in their staff wherever there is space. I've found the physicians and APRNs are always patient and engaged, and helpful in clearly explaining options and procedures. Count me satisfied and happy.

From there, paper work was filled out, blood pressure taken and insurance cards copied. The staff came back but the doctor was still out. It took another twenty five minutes to get the EKG machine working and done. We then waited another forty five minutes for the doctor to come in. During this time, we were never checked up on. Nothing was communicated as to what is going on or how much longer it would be. I'm not too sure if this is an everyday practice or if this is the way it just because it is just so busy. I am hoping it is the latter of the two. I am shocked because I come from a medical background. This office has no structure or organizational protocol to which the staff operates.
