I was reading all the reviews on my OB/GYN and was laughing at the one bad review he got...the one…read moreabout Dr. Tokairin calling her fat. If you take a look at her ratings over time, most of her ratings are one-star, so clearly nothing makes her very happy. Dr. Tokairin, Rosie and Malia are all awesome people!! Now for the low-down....he doesn't really call you fat, but he will warn you when you are pregnant (or not). I gained 50 pounds with my pregnancy and I got counseled at each and every visit, for my own good. He would ask me, "Are you eating powdered doughnuts? No? Because you gained weight since you came here last time." After I would leave his office, I'd head straight for the powdered doughnuts since it sounded so good! Prior to him saying that, I hadn't touched powdered doughnuts in ages. Another time he asked me, "Are you eating Egg McMuffins? You've gained weight!". I have NO IDEA where he is getting these food ideas, but after I'd leave his office, I'd go to McDonalds and eat an Egg McMuffin, or two, since he planted that bug in my head. I truly believe he's saying stuff that he secretly wants to eat, or is thinking of, when he asks me what I've been eating to gain weight. My friend dreads going to him since he counsels her on her weight, but to Dr. Tokairin's credit, he is right (and I hope my friend is not reading this...). I'm no skinny minnie either but subconsciously, I think I keep my weight in check because I don't want hear him asking me what I've eaten. He counsels EVERYONE, so if little things like this derail your train, find someone else, for goodness sake! I find that not enough physicians get on your case when your BMI starts creeping up like the shorts in your butt crack because its politically incorrect, and it may hurt your feelings, boo hoo! I think if more physicians cared, they would say something, instead of worrying about how your tender feelings may become crushed under the steel-toed boot of truth. He cares about your weight, your sleep, your nutrition, your family, your activity level and your overall well-being and he will ask you about all of those things! The only thing I don't like is his power of suggestion, because he keeps talking about foods I must have after I leave his office. Now this is why I really think Dr. Tokairin stands out: he's one of the rare physicians that call you into his office after your exam to talk to you. He's thorough and he listens to what you have to say! He is also surrounded by a really caring, wonderful and friendly staff - I love Rosie and Malia!! I hope he doesn't retire any time soon, because I know there will never be another Dr. Tokairin.

I have been going to Dr. Tokairin for years now. He was recommended by my friend who goes to him as…read morewell. He's very informative and never did I feel uncomfortable. He tells you what will be good for you whether you want to hear it or not. He goes over everything & gives good advices. His staff Malia & Rosie are very friendly & helpful. They are always ready to answer your questions & help you with anything if Dr. is not around. Malia is always on top of making sure you don't miss your appointment. They are very accommodating & makes you feel that they do care & that they know you personally & not just a client. His office is located at Kuakini Medical Center Physicians Building. You may park in the structure or street. If you're looking for a dependable OB, you should see Dr. Tokairin!

There isn't enough words to express how grateful I am for the care I received from Dr. Beair. I…read morehave had my share of different OB-GYNs, another of which delivered my first child, but I never felt like the connection was quite right. With Dr. Beair, I felt so at ease from the very beginning. My first labor and delivery, I suffered many different, and at the time, unknown medical complications. So I was ridden with anxiety with my 2nd pregnancy. Dr. Benton Chun referred me to Dr. Beair after a successful frozen embryo transfer at IVF Hawaii, promising me that I would be in the Best hands. He was right. If you know anything about the seasoned Dr. Chun, you know he doesn't say this about just anyone. At the initial visit, it was clear she had studied my chart and already knew my history. I recall apologizing to her that I was a complicated case and she said, "Don't worry, TOGETHER we will make sure you and baby are healthy". From that visit on, she meticulously took care of me. Unlike other doctors I've worked with, she took the time to know me. I didn't feel like just a number in the office or feel like she was rushing in and out of the room. Her assessments were thorough and she found things early in my 2nd trimester so we were able to adjust/add medications, diet, and activity level. It was also around that time that I had a pregnancy scare and I had a small breakdown during a follow-up visit. I was able to see her compassionate side and feel empathy from her as she comforted me. Dr. Beair stayed true to what she said at the first visit. Together, we were able to better prepare for a healthy baby and delivery. With her expertise and knowledge, she guided me on this journey. She was able to prevent certain things from happening again and for the things that couldn't be prevented due to my health history, she had a clear plan on how to minimize the problems to make sure my baby and I were ultimately safe. I completely recommend Dr. Beair to anyone looking for an intelligent, professional, thorough and WARM HEARTED OB-GYN.

Dr. Beair is professional, knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. I never feel rushed in my appointments, she takes the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my hundreds of questions, and put my mind at ease. During my pregnancy I had a few scares that required hospital visits. Dr. Beair was calm and reassuring, talking me off the ledge as I was overanalyzing what could go wrong each time. When it came time to delivery day, her knowledge, and calm, cool, and collected demeanor kept my anxious nerves at bay. Her warm bedside manner is just what I needed. Dr. Beair's staff is amazing too. I love going to her office not only to see her, but also her awesome and friendly staff.

I'm a very holistic minded person and I always felt respected here and not judged for my choices. Thank you doc!

It was a terrible office experience today with provider Dr. Eesha…read more Bhattacharyya or Dr. B. For short at Ko'olau Women's Healthcare in Honolulu. First of all, Dr. B. is an unprofessional, inconsiderate, lazy doctor. Why do I say this? Well, first of all, i went to see him today for my follow up appointment, and in the exam room, Dr, B. suddenly started coughing a lot when talking to me. I was sitting across from him, in close proximity, sitting on the exam table. So, I asked Dr. B. to put on a mask. Dr.B. didn't cover his mouth, and he wasn't wearing a mask either. To protect me and his patients, many of whom are pregnant, Dr. B. should have had sense enough, as a doctor, to at least wear a mask to protect his patients from his germs and coughing. But he failed to do so. Next, he suddenly left the room to tend to a patient that was feeling faint. What about me as a patient? Why did you leave me hanging doctor in the exam room, with no explanation, and no apology as to whether or not I was supposed to wait for him to return or not? Lastly, Dr. B failed to help me with the medical situation that I went to see him for in the first place, and was unwilling to do the training I needed that could have helped me, thus the low rating I have given him. For all these reasons, I would not recommend Ko'olau Women's Healthcare or Dr. Eesha Bhattacharyya to anyone, and I see that several other patients have also given him one star ratings as well.

There are so many reasons why you should consider seeing somewhere other than this office for your…read moreOB/GYN needs. I'll list the top 3 most significant issues we had with them: 1. My wife had the fetal anatomy scan at 19 weeks and were told they would follow up with us to discuss the results and schedule future appointments. I had to call them when my wife was 39 weeks (yes, they went 20 weeks without seeing my wife). When we came in for the visit, they accused us of missing the anatomy scan and said that's why they never saw us again -- only to view their system and realize we did the anatomy scan and they dropped the ball. 2. The front office receptionist needs a makeover. They don't greet you and make you feel like an inconvenience to their conversation. You better not be running a few minutes late either. They will reschedule you with an empty office if you are 10 minutes late even considering the limitations of parking. But don't worry, if you're on time they'll have you wait 45-60 minutes to be seen. 3. I've seen some great reviews on other providers but Dr. Zavala shouldn't be one of them. I'll leave it at that. I'm positive you can find a different location for your needs and feel valued elsewhere.

I made an appointment and waited a month to be seen, the day I called to make my appointment they took my insurance information and said my insurance was good before even scheduling an appointment with me. I finally get to my appointment- I sit in the waiting room for an hour only to be told Dr. Asato isn't in my network. I called my insurance since Dr. Asato was on the list of in network doctors my insurance company had provided only to be told I should have been seen since she is in network... not sure what happened there. Won't be going back. Pretty disappointed. Ended up going someplace else, my IUD did shift m, requiring same day attention. Glad I went elsewhere. 2 stars because I never saw Dr. Asato at all, 1 star for staff.

I didn't have to wait long for my initial visit. They are closed for lunch from 1230-130pm. As a new patient, the asked me to come in half hr early to register. Once checked in and papers filled out, the wait wasn't long. Dr Asato is busy. She walked into the exam room, introduced herself, we discussed any on going issues as it has been a few years since I've seen an OBGYN. Exam went well and all my questions were answered. Dr Asato indeed is a very pleasant and knowlegable person and should I have any questions before my next exam, I will be calling her office. (by the way, she did occupy the space of former Dr USHIJIMA office) and good drs are hard to find! She's a keeper.

The person who gave her a bad review bc of a billing issue really did her dirty! It sounds like they had an issue with the practice's biller, not with Dr. Sword's performance as an employed physician of the practice.

I have been a patient for over a year, and the care I have received from Dr. Sword and everyone I have seen has been incredible. Since I met her, she has listened to my concerns and provided me with educated guidance that has suited my needs. When I voiced concerns about getting pregnant due to my family history, she immediately set me up with a plan to find out if it was possible. Come to find out, I was pregnant while we were having that conversation. Dr. Sword made my pregnancy journey a smooth one. She answered all my questions and ensured I had the best care even when she was out of the office. I appreciated Dr. Sword setting up what they called "Meet & Greet" to ensure I was familiar with all the doctors in case I needed something while she was away. After I had my baby, I had some complications, and Dr. Sword immediately got me in for an appointment to ensure everything was okay. She continued to take great care of me until I was in the clear. The clinic nurses are very friendly and helpful, too. Pregnancy can be a scary journey, but I looked forward to all of my appointments. Being around doctors with great personalities and a sense of humor made me feel very comfortable asking any and every question that popped into my head. They even entertained and played along with my husband's silly jokes when he made them. I am grateful to have found a place and a Doctor who truly cares about their patients.
