    I love going to this dentist. This is the best office! A TV on my chair!!!! Comfy chair! Lovely…read morerooms! Very, very kind dentist. Not afraid at all. Honest too. Her dad was a dentist here, too.

    Terrible dental care and extremely rude too! That this practitioner can't even keep a single person…read moreon staff pretty much says it all! From the thriving practice built up by Dr. David Tsunehiro, after his retirement and departure of Dr. Keith Uyehara, Cathy has systematically and single-handedly managed to have the entire staff including front office, billing, assistants, and hygienists all quit. I had been told directly from a longtime staff member that personality and conversation styles made working there intolerable. I found this out myself through personal experience after complaining of a very painful infected tooth, she referred me for a ROOT CANAL ON THE WRONG TOOTH! It's impossible to finish a statement without getting "butt-in" on and talked over. So it's no wonder that the wasn't able to know what my problem was. After suffering for 4 months as I never got the follow up I was promised/expecting (thank god I didn't become septic and die) as the infection progressed and eventually went into my jaw bone requiring extensive antibiotic treatment, only when it became unbearable and I just showed up at the office was I able to get the correct tooth treated. Since then, while trying to get caught up on my dental care (I have two half done implants needing restoration) I went in for two appointments where I was told "I didn't have any appointment that/those days". I found that hard to believe as I scheduled them in my iPhone calendar as the appointments were given to me. And now with no more dental appointments in my calendar, it's clear to me that they were correct and the mix up was hers, likely from again not listening or rambling on about Boston and her "school days" as she has a tendency to do (once taking up the entire hourlong appointment time before only glancing in my mouth for a minute because the doorbell rang signaling the arrival of the next patient. Still needing to get my implants restored, after getting by with missing teeth for over 4 years now, I called the office and suggested to Cathy that she get help in her office to which she coolly replied "yeah, so maybe you should get another dentist" before hanging up on me! I was stunned! I will get by and the quality of my dental care will undoubtedly go up. But I had not expected or ever encountered such unprofessionalism before! Rude is one thing. Not having people skills another. Not being a good dentist happens. But to have them all and then sinking a thriving dental practice by being unprofessional, not honoring appointments she herself gave me, and then leaving me with gaps in my teeth BY HANGING UP ON ME like a petulant adolescent goes beyond the pale and no one should ever subject themselves to this "practice"! Avoid Cathy Tsunehiro and "Kauai Lifestyles Dentistry" at all costs! No one could possibly need any of it!
