When your body speaks to you, listen. Especially when you get older…read more I'm on my feet a lot and have experienced several foot/leg issues where eventually it was resolved. But step in diabetes, where overlooking issues under this condition can be tragic. Just last week at my part time job, a customer came in and I recognized his voice as he's a regular. But I didn't immediately recognize him as he lost a lot of weight and clearly had mobility issues. When I blurted out his name, indeed it was him. He told me he was diabetic and ignored a toe injury where a life-changing procedure slowed him down. For a couple of weeks now, I had what seemed like a blister on one of my toes where it now became 2. It was painful to walk in shoes and when I showed it to family members where one is doing her residency at a large hospital and my sister has been an RN for over 30 years, was told it could be either a blister, callous or wart. I, too, am diabetic and fears crossed my mind. My sister strongly suggested I have it investigated immediately. Step in Ricky Sukita (RS). RS is a podiatrist who has been in practice for over 35 years. Located in Kuakini Physician's Exchange, the office of RS is on the 11th floor. It was so nice to make an appointment where his staff immediately answered the phone when I called. Their records show this wasn't my first time to the office, but I was impressed on the service and professionalism extended to me. I addressed to the staff of my issue and after confirming my address and health insurance plan, I was escorted to an empty office where several minutes later RS showed up. Words cannot express my relief where it was disclosed my issue was callous development. I've had warts before where it was painful and took a long time to resolve. After assessing my regular work and leisure regimen, RS explained of my current condition and how this came all about. He also advised me how to handle this situation and provided me with protection. I appreciated how he informed me and educated me where I understood and didn't feel incompetent that led to my condition. Overall, solid 5-stars to RS and his staff. From making the appointment to walking out of the office after my appointment, there weren't hassles nor stress. I understand RS is taking new patients. If you're looking for a podiatrist, look no further.

In my line of work I used to deal with a lot of physicians being a medical sales rep. Dr. Sukita immediately makes you feel at ease.

If you're ever in need of great foot care, I would highly recommend Dr. Sekita. His staff is also great! I had made an appointment and arrived at the wrong time, but they worked me in with no problem. Very grateful for Dr.Sukita and his staff

After my 2 weeks in Japan where I often hit 20,000 steps daily and ate very well, came back home…read moreand shortly after, noticed my right foot sore. How sore do you ask? It was unbearable this past weekend where I took Ibuprofen for the discomfort. I previously have been under the care of Dr. Ricky Sukita so I called the office first thing Monday morning and was advised Dr. Sukita's first opening is not until in April. I was offered the option to see Dr. Andrew Cheng, who was available and snagged the next appointment at 845am. Located in the same office as Dr. Sukita on the 11F of Kuakini Physician's Tower, Dr. Cheng is also a board certified podiatrist. After confirming which area of my right foot experiencing discomfort, Dr. Cheng performed an assessment of various tests for mobility and sensitivity. I was initially shocked when diagnosed with a mild case of gout. But then recalled about 10 years ago when my PCP mentioned my uric acid level was on the high side and back then had also experienced excruciating sharp pain on my toe. I also had eaten very well in Japan, especially chowing down on deep fried Hiroshima oysters on multiple occasions, Gyukatsu from Motomura and my AYCE shabu shabu dinner. Yikes... Dr, Cheng advised I'd be put on oral medicine to be taken daily to ease the pain and to watch my intake. He had his staff arrange my medication pickup at my location choice where it was ready for pickup within a few hours. Shortly after taking Colchicine, the pinkness of the flare up disappeared and was able to apply more pressure on my right foot. Overall, an excellent first experience with Dr. Cheng. I was able to get the medical attention needed and received the care and direction for recovery. He was easy to speak with and understand my situation where I need to be careful on my diet as well as address this issue when I meet with my PCP for my regular annual physical in a few months.

That alone was a great sign for me because I was in so much pain. The office seems small from the outside but it really quite spacious. First thing you notice is how clean and neat everything is, but also very inviting. That goes for the exam room too. Unlike some offices where you see a lot of people waiting, I was the only one at that time. That's because Dr. Watanabe really takes the time to explain and go over everything with you. She takes time to answer questions, and also working with you to find the best solution for you. I definitely left the appointment more informed of what I needed to do and what I needed to expect in terms of recovery, and for me it means no exercise until further notice. But in the name of getting better. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Nothing is worse than having a foot problem. I've suffered with foot issues since about 2003…read more Back then, I treated with the Drs. Yee. They helped me overcome the plantar fasciitis that I suffered from back then with proper footwear, a sleeping boot and a foot stretching device. At that time, that was all I needed to get past the problem. Fast forward to Fall 2017. The same problem flared up again, despite wearing correct footwear and stretching. I kept trying to treat it by my usual stretching routine, sleeping with the boot, etc. to no avail. With an trip to New York looming in November, I frantically sought out Dr. Yee again. Having reopened his practice under Honolulu Foot Care, I was happy to see he was still located at the same convenient location (Kukui Plaza). Showing him all the things I was trying to do to self treat the issue, he suggested a more aggressive approach . . . the dreaded shot in the foot! It was not painless, however, the way that Dr. Yee administers the shot makes it much less painful. I walked out of the clinic that day with my foot full of corticoid-steroids and lidocane, feeling no pain. Doc prescribed some anti-inflammatories and with my continued stretching, sleeping in the boot and proper footwear, and I think I'm ready for my trip to New York (walking up to 10 miles a day). . . . Huge thank you to Dr. Yee for fixing my foot problem!!! If you have an issue like this, do not delay....go see Dr. Yee!

It was painless! And my toe was good! For my second visit I got seen by Dr. Anderson to get the ingrown toenail permanently removed. And thankfully I was able to see them ASAP. I called early in the morning and they were able to schedule me to come in at 3:30pm on the same day! For the procedure I was really anxious at first, because I am not very good with needles, but he was very understanding and patient! He told me to relax and not to worry! We then proceeded to the procedure, which only took 30 minutes and it was super painless! In the end they gave me a sheet on how to take care of my toe! Also, after a week of care you have to do a follow up by either video chatting or coming in person to see how the toe is doing! Overall, I would recommend coming here, staff is really sweet and doctors are super nice too! I live 30 minutes away from the clinic, but it was worth the drive!

I've seen him a few times for a couple of different sprains over the past couple of years. He spends lots of time with his patients. He always listens very carefully to what I'm saying, does a detailed exam, and then tells me EXACTLY what I need to do. Like which type of insole from which brand available at which store in which neighborhood. Unless he already has it right there in his well-stocked lobby and then I'm hooked up before I even leave. He has fixed my sprained ankle (that I wasn't taking seriously enough) with a high-quality brace given to me at the same appointment. He has fixed a ligament sprain that needed weeks of patient healing. Once when my phone autocorrected the time of my appointment to an incorrect time, he graciously saw me for the appointment even though I arrived 45 MINUTES after my actual scheduled time. He's the best.
