I called her office because her number was listed for another MD. She talked in a rushed tone and…read moreshe repeated herself several times preventing me from getting a word in. I understood that Dr.Imoto said the other MD was not at her clinic, however if she stopped talking over me the call would have been shorter. Eventually, I got a word in and asked what was the other MD's number and she said "I'm in the middle of a telehealth with a patient. You can look it up in the phone book." Well, I'm sorry for disturbing you. I understand you're busy, but if you're in the middle of a telehealth with a patient why did you answer the call? I was expecting the front desk to answer. You could have easily said, "Hi, I'm sorry I'm with another patient. Can I transfer you to my front office?" Is that hard? Absolutely not. I've spoken to other doctors who speak calm, respectfully, and would not have handled that phone call as she did.

If God were a pulmonologist, it would be Dr. Thomas Scott Gallacher. He treats you like you are…read morefamily, being reasonable, pragmatic, practical, resourceful and genuinely caring. He is like 3 in one, because not only can he accurately diagnose, which is an art itself, he also resourcefully provides solutions and referrals, during the SAME visit. And just like the Conscious Universe, at times when you least expect it, Dr. Gallacher surprises you, with unknown facts regarding your health needs, with a smiling heart. How lucky are we to have such a gifted, listening, compassionate "Norman Rockwell-ish" doctor in Hawaii? He is one of the reasons we all can say, "Lucky Live Hawaii." And, we are beyond blessed with his calling. Mahalo Nui Loa, rudyandaudrey decker-boznak

One of the few doctors who listens not just to your body but to you....not just complaints but life in general. The office is never chaotic and the staff is always cheerful, helpful and pleasant. No 20 patients waiting to be seen. If your appointment is at 2:00 you will be seen by 2:00 or even a few minutes earlier. I suffer with asthma compounded by bronchitis and Dr Pollard has worked with me to find the triggers and the treatment to keep me a well person. As long as I stick to the regimen I stay healthy. Located at Pali Momi, easy, convenient, up to date methods and treatment. I like a doctor who remembers your conversation from your last visit, has a sense of humor and doesn't leave you with the feeling your voice was not heard. Luv this doctor and his staff.

This office doesn't validate parking, in fact I don't think any of the Dr offices in this building do. Most people park at the mall and walk over, as long as mall security isn't watching.

The visit with her was worth every penny.

I've had a pleasant experience to date with Dr. Suleiman and his practice…read more It's not exactly as if I've seen lots of sleep doctors - you see one and that's it. But I'm glad my primary care doctor referred me here for possible sleep apnea instead of a bigger medical group or one of those online tele-sales clinics. I got the feeling that Dr. Sulieman really enjoys his job working with patients. He took an unhurried time to listen, consult, ask about concerns and my medical history, and patiently explain to me the science of sleeping, physiology, and how it relates to overall wellness and medical condition. It made me feel respected and well cared for. The office is pretty homey, lived in decor despite being in a multi-story medical building with killer views of nearby mountain cliffs. Pulse and blood pressure devices you could buy for yourself instead of a sci fi bank of blinking machines, it reminded me of going to my family doctor when I was a child. Since then I've dealt exclusively with staff and nurses, but they have been fine too. Very sweet and personable. Turns out I do have a mild case, enough to warrant one of those air pressure devices you hook up like a scuba diver all night long, which came by parcel from an affiliated supplier. It helped a lot from day one, and was no trouble getting used to. People describe health experiences as a journey, and this one started out stress-free, comfortable, and well treated. Starting out on the right foot, as they say, it makes the whole experience better. You can call me Scuba Gil now.

Dr. Kam has been my allergist since 2019, and he is truly outstanding. I struggled with severe,…read moreunexplained asthma starting in 2007--it was so bad that I couldn't sleep or function normally. Hoping a change in climate would help, I even moved to Hawaii in 2015. I saw several allergists at Queen's, but none were able to provide real answers. Dr. Kam was the first doctor who truly took action. On my very first visit, he personally arranged for me to see a pulmonologist that same morning, without a prior appointment. That level of care and advocacy is rare. Because of Dr. Kam, my asthma is now well controlled, and my quality of life has completely changed. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in his patients. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for him. I highly recommend Dr. Kam to anyone dealing with asthma or allergies.

At 3:12 pm his office called me and told me Dr took on another patient! What, give me 5 min to log in and he is 8 min late. What kind of caring professional is that This is totally unprofessional and very disrespectful to patient's time Luckily I did not have him Not sure how we get to this point but if the Dr is supposed to help the patient what the rush and what the issues here?? Not even give 15 min appointments time ? Especially he is late no wonder this Dr has so bad reviews. Do yourself a favor, see another Dr. that care

I am surprised to see Dr. Druger doesn't have any Yelp reviews yet! I was referred to his office…read moreby my OB to investigate my asthma. Dr. Druger was really great. Honestly, I was very impressed by the care I received there and I also loved his staff! Super nice and helpful. Dr. Druger told me my asthma was fine BUT after he listened to my chest he informed me that my heartbeat was irregular! No doctor has ever caught that before in my 38 years! He had me do an EKG in his office and he printed out the pattern of my heartbeat. Then he had me jog up and down the hall in his office to see if my heartbeat went back to normal after some exercise, which it did. He assured me that it was probably fine, and it was very common, but that he wanted to be on the safe side and send me to a cardiologist (especially since I am pregnant). So he called up his cardiologist friend right then and there and arranged to get me an appointment for the next business day. It was certainly bizarre to come in for a doctor's appointment for one thing and leave with a surprise diagnosis but I'm very grateful and appreciative of how thorough Dr. Druger clearly is. I wish I had more of a reason to ever come back and see him again (but my appointment was kind of a one-off) because he was really great. I highly recommend Dr. Druger if you need a pulmonologist!

***4.5 STARS***…read more Recently a colleague reached out to me as his designated driver was unable to pick him up due to an unforeseen situation. He texted me needing a lift from Pali Momi Medical Center (PMMC) to his home just off Kinau Street. PMMC opened its doors in July 1989 and has been servicing Central and West Oahu. It was originally opened as Kapiolani Medical Center at Pali Momi until rebranded as PMMC in 2010. They are conveniently located in Aiea just down the road from Pearlridge Shopping Center. It was my first time here and was impressed with the upkeep of the grounds. Because my friend just had a procedure to the day prior, a hospital staff wheeled him via wheelchair to the pickup/drop off area. I was amazed by the hospital's attention to patient's condition, consideration and service extended. Although the pickup was a fairly quick process, the setback I encountered was leaving. There were 2 parked cars in front of me and it didn't seem the cars would be leaving soon. Furthermore, the right hand lane was too narrow where I couldn't pass them. My only option was to back up and exit via the far left lane. Thank goodness there was no car behind me otherwise I would have been in a standstill. Overall, impressed with my first visit to PMMC, with the exception of their pickup and drop off area. 2026 #60
