I recently experienced issues that led me to see two different chiropractors within the past few months. I had just one session with the first, then decided it wasn't for me. With the second, initially I was hopeful, then after a few treatments, I began to feel that the chiropractor lacked experience - both professional and in life. There seemed to be so much that we didn't connect on. In addition, I did not think that the treatments benefited me enough to warrant the cost of continuing with this non-participating provider for my insurance plan, which meant I had to pay significant amounts out-of-pocket. I had been lured by diagnoses of specific problems and scientific-sounding explanations. Then I remembered going to Dr. Harada a few years back. His was a no-nonsense approach. What's more, he is a participating provider for my insurance plan. I called to make an appointment as a returning patient. I was scheduled that same afternoon. When I entered the office, it felt like coming home again. When my turn came, Dr. Harada greeted me, saying it had been a while. He's been around long enough to know what he's doing, and he speaks with confidence. I asked for an assessment of my condition, and he answered me simply. He recommended I come for a few sessions, then begin periodic maintenance. This was exactly what I was wanted. I felt great after my treatment. I look forward to the next. Dr. Harada's experience and genuine approach made all the difference. read more

Don Harada, DC - Chris - Chiropractors Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The best experience I have had for neck pain treatment. No pain no gain. Dr. Don Harada will save you time and money.

I tweaked my back a couple of weeks ago from sitting on the ground and hunched over under my umbrella at the kid's swim meet. Doesn't help that I have bad posture. It got worse after I went to work out the following Monday and didn't warm up and hurt my old lady knees. But of course I waited til Friday before I decided I need help. I used to go to Manoa Chiropractor but our insurance plan changed and they don't take our current one (UHA). I would have paid the $$ fee regardless if I could get an appt that day for relief. Checked Yelp and called Dr Harada's office and was told the earliest for new patients was Monday. I called again five minutes later, and the very kind receptionist (Seung Hee, I think) very graciously accommodated me when I told her I'm desperate (I am not ashamed to admit.) and she snuck me in the last appt. The bonus is Dr Harada accepts UHA, my total payment is $17.50 per visit. After a brief consultation, Dr Harada snapped some bones back into place. He assured me I'd be ok in a day or two, but no working out for the time being. I was skeptical but agreed to return the next day for a follow-up. The next morning I rolled out of bed and got in and out of the car with more ease and less pain, but I was on autopilot and didn't even notice until after the appt. I was so amazed! I'm taking my kid next. From what I've observed, Dr Harada's patients range from athletic young adults to the elderly. Each appt takes about 15 minutes. The waiting room isn't very big but wait time is acceptable, esp with the Food Channel on the tv. Parking is validated for an hour. The building is located somewhat in between Don Quijote and FHB, above the Korean health goods store Red Ginseng. read more

Dr. Harada is simply amazing. I was recomended to this place from someone and they told me this is the place that they would recommend. I made an appointment to visit. The check in process convenient and easy. I told Dr. Harada about my problem and he was able to analyze the problem fast. He told me my back was uneven and had to be adjusted. After some of the adjustment I felt immediate much relieved and better. I'm looking forward to getting treatment and getting full relief! Thanks to Dr. Harada and their team. read more

I've gone to Dr Harmada for over 20 years when I visit the island. I traveled extensively on business for years and saw him every time as he really helped my back, shoulders hips and neck. I was in a rear end collision years ago and have had compression issues for most of my life. To find such a gem on the island I love is a real find. I've brought my daughter and husband and they love Don too, he really gets out the kinks so you can enjoy your time in Hawaii. I try to go straight from the airport and several times when in town, he really helps us fell better. If you're scared of Chiro's or just trying to find a good one, Dr Harada will help you tremendously. Can't recommend him highly enough. Aloha, Margrette read more

Dr. Harada is a god send. He has done wonders on my back and I fully recommend his services to everyone.

Thank you Dr. Harada!! My long search for a chiropractor ends today! As I am enjoying the last few years of my twenties, I'm learning that preventative care is super important. Dr. Harada did confirm that one of my legs is slightly shorter than the other, which can equate to my constant knee pain and lower back pain. The first appointment, he realigned and released a lot of tension in those specific areas. After the adjustment, he used a massage gun and got rid of my stubborn knots. He scheduled a follow up at the end of the week to make sure the adjustment worked and it did! After my check up and slight adjustments, he had me lay on the mechanical massage table. I definitely need one lol He also said I lost a few pounds woot woot! Years of standing in retail, clumsy accidents and sitting at a desk all day will definitely take a toll on your body. I'll be back sooner than later. Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next! read more

This man has an excellent eye for identifying a major problem and having a safe solution, even if he couldn't resolve the issues himself using chiropractic techniques. Following his instructions for the type of help I needed eventually led me to have major back surgery (5 laminectomies L1-L5 - arthritic growths pressing on the spinal cord). I wish I had met him 28 years ago when I had 1st tweeked my back and pinched my sciatic nerves. Thank you, Dr. Harada! read more

Always accommodating and friendly. My go to place after a long work trip. Dr. Don is the best!

I have two lower herniated disc and sciatica whenever I'm in pain I go see Dr. Harada for an adjustment and I'm back walking straight again pain free! I recommend you go see him if you have back pain! Aloha! Chris read more

Don Harada, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Entering the office you see the waiting room. The pictures of the former Miss Hawaii's and the quote regarding chiropractors were the first that caught my eye. Gives the feeling that Dr. is not only popular/recommended but also wise in his work. The office staff are very friendly and greeted with a smile. Like most individuals who encounter all sorts of receptionists, they were definitely in my top 5 in regard to friendliness. Dr. Harada himself is a very friendly individual. Doesn't say much but you definitely get that comfortable vibe from him. After feeling my back for a bit he could immediately tell what happened. After fixing different parts of my upper body, I could tell the difference as I was able to stand up straight again. He recommended a few more sessions to which I agreed. Was able to schedule my future sessions right after. Very convenient that they open on Saturdays. I'm already recommending Dr. to those I know. Thank you for the great experience! read more

DR Harada got my back in shape from auto accident, hip and knee pain, and lower back pain. He fouses on movement and flexibility of your spine, now I can pick up stuff off the floor with no pain! read more

Been here for 10 sessions for almost a year till I changed Chiropractor. I did not get my charge each session like normal Chiropractor usually do. I thought they will send me a bill instead but that didn't happen, instead I received my bill this year for the whole 10 sessions. Not only that, they charged more for co-pay than others. There's nothing in the description of the invoice.No detail of how much the total charge, etc. So, if you did not get charge after your session, don't be surprised when you get billed a year later. read more

For 9 years I've been dealing with back pain ever since I had my daughter. More recently, I hurt my back while doing heavy workouts. I felt like I always had to arch my back to feel comfortable and lying flat and bending forward was a pain. In addition, I had shoulder pain from wrestling, ankle pain, stiff neck on the right side, and excessive headaches. My boss referred me to Dr. Don Harada and that was the best decision I've made. I would constantly be in pain at work and he said Dr. Harada helped him with his sciatica. It was super easy to make an appointment and I sped up the new patient paperwork by having Lori email it to me and I faxed it right before I came in for my first appointment. She's super friendly and very helpful. Dr. Harada assessed my problem areas very quickly and I learned that all the other problems I've been having was due to my back pain. He was able to straighten me out right after he performed the treatment. It felt so good to crack and straighten my body back to normal and it didn't hurt at all. The exam (1st appointment) took about 25min and the parking was validated & free. Highly recommend Dr. Harada for your chiropractic needs! read more

Don Harada, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great service, nice staff. I don't know why these reviews have to be at least 85 characters. His office is great!

I've been going to Dr. Harada's for over a year and the visits are always quick with awesome service. I definitely reccomend him if you'd like to keep back and neck aches away. The receptionists are friendly and try to find an appointment that will work for you. Sometimes the office gets a bit busy but I see that as he's popular because he is amazing at keeping people's spines feeling good. Be sure to schedule your appointments (especially Saturdays) right after your current one to get the best pick of times. I also enjoy lying on the rolling massage table after getting my adjustment and looking at the fish tanks in the rooms. So relaxing! read more

Suprise! I didn't believe chiropractic too much until I met Dr Harada. My pain at hip joint disappeared. Now I believe Dr Harada fully and go back to see him for maintenance. He is my life saver. read more

Got a lot more work to do but back and neck felt really good after first appt. Got outta bed with no pain.

If you have any type of pain which doesn't get better w/rest & medication, it's time to give Dr. Harada a try! It's understandable for people to be afraid of visiting a chiropractor- I was one of them but no longer. Usually spending my weekends in bed b/c of an achy neck, shoulders & upper back, Dr. Harada took my sharp-pains & turned it into something bearable. I am now able to enjoy life a whole lot better ( : I've come to know Dr. Harada & his receptionist Lori, I trust them so much that now, my two daughters & hubby also see them for pain & body maintenance ( : read more

Dr. Harada will give you good cracks! I was referred here becuase I kept complaining about my back and neck problems and I am glad that I did come here. I already new my alignment was messed up and I needed to take care of it pronto! +let me tell you when Dr. Harada cracked my entire body I felt a huge relief! was not painful at all! I felt the tension I had on my neck was at ease! and I really needed that! I noticed a big difference the following day, my neck pain went away...but of course that didn't last for long being the fact I 1. work in an office that requires you to sit 8+ hours 2.work out almost everyday and alongside take up Muay Thai, so pretty much I am putting my body to work! +I would highly recommend for those of you wanting to see a chiro to come here. he takes most insurance and is open everyday except sundays and they do validate parking. you probably see yourself spending no more than 20 minutes, which is a plus! read more

My body is unusually tight for someone my age. I have knots in my neck, shoulders (traps), and back. Before I get cracked, one leg is slightly longer than the other. Dr. Harada fixes all of these problems! Aunty Laurie is the friendly receptionist. She takes care of all the office work and appointments. It seems like regular alignment appointments go by really fast, but the results last for weeks. Dr. Harada can tell when you're tense, and waits until he can crack you without you noticing. It's just like, "wait, what just happened?" I am scared of pain and hate the shocker thing he uses to relax muscles, so he just doesn't use it for me. After my body is aligned, I lay on a massage table for a couple minutes. Then, it's done. Be sure to drink A LOT of water after! If you haven't gone to the chiropractor yet, you should try it. The office is a calm environment and he cares about each of his patients. They keep a record of every patient in order to provide follow-up care for returnees. Dr. Harada has a true talent to be able to help so many people with his body alignment skills! read more

Dr. Harada is a real cool guy. He listens to you explain where the pain is and immediately starts working on that area. He handles all typesof injuries including injuries from martial arts. I'm currently in Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu and come here regularly at 5-6 times a year. Appointments are handled very quick with barely any waiting time. They also do validation for a fast session. I'm in and out in 20 minutes tops! read more

Always quick and friendly service that resolves all my back aches. Couldn't be better!

Dr Harada is the best chiropractor I've ever had. After 20 years of regular chiropractic care, I've had approximately 6 different chiropractors and Dr. Harada is the best. He is thorough, efficient, always on time or ahead of time, and best of all precise! Exactly what you need. read more

Ive been having migraines for a long time along with chronic back and neck pain. Rest, medication, physical therapy and massage therapy hadnt worked to alleviate my pain. After doing my own research for alternative treatments for migraines i decided to try a chiropractor. Best decision ive ever made. I was able to get in the same day and Dr. Harada was able to adjust me and immediately my headache went away. I would recommend Dr.Harada to everyone. I am so relieved to finally feel heard by a doctor and actually get relief. Thank you to the staff for fitting me in and to Dr Harada for starting my recovery. read more

Dr Harada is spot on amazing. I have literally been in pain (neck and back) for the past 2 years and finally, today, my pain is completely gone. I have tried 3 other chiropractors here in town and none of them did anything to help my pain. I just don't get it. Within 5 minutes of seeing Dr Harada, he was like "you are totally out of alignment, I can feel it". Then he did his magic and boom I was happy as a clam. I am hooked. Message to those who are in need of chiropractic care, come here. I have been using chiropractors for 20+ years and Dr Harada is by far one of the best on the islands. He's no-nonsense, doesn't overcharge or give you fancy extra stuff you don't need. He focuses on you, listens, feels your spine and knows what to do to get you back in alignment. Thank you Dr Harada! Plus, the bonus is a Auntie Laurie, she gets you in, is a sweetheart and takes good care of you. read more

I have been going to Dr. Harada for 5+ years and he and Lori are great. I travel a lot and he always puts me back together after everything is out of alignment! Great location and reasonably priced! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. Laurie is wonderful, kind and really knows insurance so that helps a lot. Also, I've never had to wait too long.

It helps that he's also a really kind man, very personable. read more

Dr. Harada is a good guy. He shows his concern and is all about making sure you're ok, and that you heal properly. I always get really nervous when it's time to adjust your neck, but he's got finess, it's so smooth and casual when he adjusts you. He doesn't let it become a big ordeal, I really appreciate that. read more

Best Chiropractor I have ever worked with. He tells me what my x-rays will reveal before it comes in.

I have had low back, upper back, shoulder and neck pain for 20 plus years. I have seen many different specialist here and in Japan to tyr and relieve the pain and limited mobility resulting from this. I have been seeing Dr. Harada for a long a long time and will continue to do so. Every session he gets me straitened out, I leave feeling exceptionally better. I am able to straighten up and walk better with more strength because the pain has been alleviated. This for me is especially nice because most times I am in extreme pain. Dr. Harada is very professional and pleasantly engaging. He listens to what is going on with my situation and goes above and beyond to help me feel better. I would highly recommend him as a chiropractor. read more

Dr. Harada is an excellent and very experienced chiropractor. I've never waited and Aunty Laurie really is friendly and you're in and out within a half hour before the parking validation runs out which is great . Everything everyone has said here is true. I've had a lot of subluxations (pinched nerves) and he's getting all of them. He explains a lot and you can tell he knows what he's doing and I'm really grateful for the relief because I've been in a lot of pain. The process is uncomplicated and these days, it's hard to find quality, personalized care with people that treat you well. Very old-fashioned...in a good way...and the way all medical care should be. Highly recommend this doctor. Top-notch. read more
