You won't regret it. My child has been with Dr. Hirai since she was about 4 years old. I found out about them having a the worst experience with the pediatric dentist that was with the Aiea Family Dental care. They only had one pediatric dentist at the time which made it difficult to get an appointment even when I informed them that my child was in so much pain. When I first found out about Dr. Hirai, my insurance wouldn't allow me to seek outside care since he wasn't part of the Aiea Family Dental. Mrs. Hirai helped us by not only accepting us as new clients but also gave us discount since I was willing to pay out of pocket to treat my child. Today, we loved hearing that we can stay with Dr. Hirai while my child is a student :) Dr. Allen Hirai has the experience, knowledge and a friendly personality that makes my child happy. That's what matters to me! He knows how to make my child happy, calm and learn about healthy habits. The staffs ate all super nice and friendly too! We love Lei, Malia and the two ladies in the reception desk.

My three children all look forward to their visits (I've never been able to say that before). The experience is so different from any other office we've visited; every visit is peaceful and the rapport Dr. Uchida establishes with all his little patients is a delight to watch. One of my sons is autistic and has always dreaded going to the dentist before but he doesn't mind his visits here in the least because Dr. Uchida is so gentle and it's much easier for my son to relax when he can't hear other children fussing or tools making loud noises in other rooms.

I've been his patient for over a decade, making him by far the longest medical relationship I've had. I've always said that if life ever took either of us away from beautiful Hawai'i, he'd be the doctor I'd miss the most. The level of care he provides is extraordinary, and it was evident from my very first visit. His genuine concern and dedication to his patients are truly one-of-a-kind. As someone with a dental phobia and a history of medical trauma, I've always dreaded dental appointments. But Dr. Hayashi has completely changed that for me and each encounter leaves me feeling grateful to have him on my healthcare team. His commitment to patient well-being and his accountability in fostering a better community is exceptional. Over the years, he's been a part of some major changes in my life, and I feel a special kinship with him. We've made incredible progress in my dental journey, and I'm proud of the place we've gotten to together. I'd also like to recognize the amazing front office team--Kerrie, Abi , and the other staff member (whose name I didn't catch). They play such an essential role in keeping everything running smoothly, and I'm always thankful for their friendly and efficient service. Dental assistant Ashlee deserves special mention as well. Her kindness and lively personality make the appointment feel so much more pleasant. Every office needs someone like Ashlee! Although I haven't met the other dentists at the office yet, I'm confident they're excellent. Aloha Family Dentistry is located on the 3rd floor of the American Savings Bank building at the corner of Kahuhipa St. and Kamehameha Hwy in Kāne`ohe. They offer convenient parking entrances on both Kahuhipa St. and Kamehameha Hwy, with wheelchair-accessible parking and building entrances on both levels.

NO ALOHA, NOT OHANA…read more I asked for help but I was disregarded. I asked for flexibility because it wasn't part of my original treatment plan and was denied. Poor communication, lack of accountability, and zero regard for patients. I'd been complaining about my tooth for months and was told nothing was wrong. Enduring the pain, turned out to be fractured....causing an issue that could have been avoided. Staff informed me that this nearly $1500 procedure where I was responsible for at least half would be "no problem" when I asked to pay monthly, so I agreed to the amount where they said we can work out the payments after. But in the end they demanded full payment immediately and refused any partial payment. To me, it's insult to injury when this was an inconvenient bill that could've been prevented. The fact that I've ALWAYS paid the full amount no matter the cost and asked for them to work with me tells me they DON'T know their customers and they are NOT a family oriented business. Unless my mind is changed, help me find a new dentist!!

I have been visiting Temple Valley Dental Group for the past several years. I first heard about…read moreTemple Valley Dental Group from my my aunt and cousins who had been going to Temple Valley Dental Group since they were kids. My cousins are adults with their own children now, and live in Mililani, yet continue to drive out to Kaneohe for their dental care. Jodie (the best dental hygienist!) and Dr. Revestir always take the time to check in on me, remember my life updates, and aren't quick to always push for surgery/treatment. I appreciate Dr. Revestir's approach of, "Let's not rush into anything yet, let's monitor it and see." I highly recommend Temple Valley Dental Group for your routine dental needs because of their friendliness, efficiency, and attention to detail and care.

Recently moved back to Hawaii in September so needed to find a new dentist for my family & I. Found Kaneohe Family Dental Care here on Yelp and luckily they happened to take my insurance (Tricare). I've actually been putting off finding a dentist because I've been so busy with other things, but I had a tooth break off (it was actually a newer crown I had put in, I think, in May 2016 or so) and Bobbie was able to squeeze me in the same day but I ended up needing to go the next day instead which wasn't any problem. She recognized me right off the bat with my missing front tooth and was just as friendly in person as on the phone. I waited about two minutes before a technician/hygienist (I never know what anyone's job title is!) brought me back, I think her name is Allie and she's also very nice, she talked to me a little to get a short history and not too long after, I met Dr. Keller who took very good care of me. I never felt rushed and he gave me his recommendations and made sure I understood all my options but did not push anything on me. This happened to be a few days before the New Year so he and his wife were just about to fly to the mainland to spend the holiday with their daughters so I felt very fortunate they could fit me in as I'm pretty sure I'd be hard pressed to find another dentist at that time. I ended up needing to get a retainer thing they call a flapper, kind of like a denture I think, which took about a week to make -- though I do really want an implant, my mouth needs a LOT of other work (I've got several molars missing and other nonsense due to lack of dental insurance in the past) so before setting me up with that he's working out a treatment plan for me so we're not just jumping around my mouth and ending up doing something unnecessary (I appreciate this though I hate having to use this retainer!) Since my initial appointment I think I've been back twice, once for my retainer fitting and another for a routine cleaning and new patient X-Rays. For my cleaning I worked with Donna who was VERY informative; I learned more during that one cleaning than I ever have about taking care of my mouth and now my gums are looking & feeling better than they have in a long time. I've also had both of my sons in to see Dr. Keller just today and they had a really great time. They were able to take them back without me and I guess it seemed so fun my mom (who came as back-up) wants to switch dentists now. They made balloon heads out of rubber gloves and gave them each a toy from their "treasure chest", both of which they are still enjoying. I'm really happy with my experience and definitely recommend Kaneohe Family Dental, their name may suggest they treat patients of all ages but in my opinion I think it's also because they treat their patients like family.

Before going here, I highly recommend reading the reviews carefully. If you still decide to move…read moreforward, make sure you fully understand what your dental insurance actually covers. This office has you sign paperwork based on what they think your insurance will cover, proceeds with treatment, and then later sends you a bill for anything your insurance did not pay. You end up being responsible for those unexpected charges. In my experience, the office does not take the time to properly verify coverage--especially for procedures that are already in progress. Communication around costs is unclear and can be misleading. On top of that, the office manager is extremely rude, and the staff is not welcoming or friendly, which makes the overall experience even more frustrating. Save yourself the stress and consider going elsewhere. Also, keep in mind that this company operates multiple locations across the island, so your experience may be similar at their other offices as well.

Dr. Lee and Dr. Wood were both incredibly kind and thorough, taking time to walk us through everything and make sure we felt comfortable before the procedure. As brand new, sleep-deprived parents, that level of reassurance meant so much. The procedure itself was very quick, and our baby handled it so well. They had me breastfeed right afterward, and the improvement was immediate - it made such a difference for both of us. We felt genuinely cared for from start to finish and would highly recommend them to any family navigating something similar!
