I've been coming to the Kuakini Medical Plaza for decades! Up to recently, majority of my doctors…read morewere at Kuakini. It started from Central Medical Clinic! I was a patient of Central Medical Clinic all my life until recently from when they started at the Kaheka Professional Center before moving to Kuakini Medical Plaza! I eventually left with the doctors recently when it was sold to Adventist Health Castle. My former Primary PCP doctor in the past would referred me to other specialists within the same building to make it easier for us. Eventually most of my doctors in the building just so happened to retired around the same time! It's a sad reminder that I'm getting old and as we aged, the more doctors we see! These doctors must be way over the retirement age since I'm near that retirement age. My two siblings' doctors are still with Central Medical Clinic and are in their mid to late 80s! Two of my just retired doctors, owned their own practices and office space, so when they decided to retire, they are trying to sell their practice/office space. -I still have a couple doctors at Kuakini and I decided to go back to Central Medical Clinic for my mom's PCP. I convinced my mom the walk from the parking lot to the office is much shorter since she struggles walking long distance. I'll tell you why I like Kuakini Medical Plaza! The parking makes the difference! Parking on the Plaza (not the 2nd tower side) is so much easier to park. Diagonal parking (with double lines I think) and the drive up is either the odd or even floor levels and you exit on the different floor levels. Just that the parking lot floor numbers doesn't match with the same floors of the building and it can be confusing at first. For the handicap patients, they can be dropped off in front of the Kuakini Medical Plaza. The walk to the office from the parking lot is so much closer than the walk from Kapiolani, Straub, or Queens' parking lot to the doctors' office. That was one of the deciding factors to return to a doctor at Kuakini! There are connecting floors from the parking structure to the building. The 2nd and 3rd floors of the Plaza are connected to the parking structure 3rd floor & 4th floor of the parking structure. The parking lot level that leads to the 3rd floor of the building, has some stairs. Once in the building, you can now catch the elevator to the floor of your doctor's office. There's a directory on that 1st level , 2nd floor and I believe the 3rd floor. Oh, there's another elevator on the top corner side of the parking structure that can be used to go to the hospital side now after Covid. it's not for the elevator to use to enter the Kuakini Medical Plaza unless you get off at ground level and walk over. The basement level comes down near the former gift shop. I use it to go to the imaging at the Hospital since there's no imaging place in the Kuakini Medical Plaza on the first level anymore. The Pharmacy, Diagnostic Laboratory, snack shop, & bathrooms, are still there on the ground level of the Kuakini Medical Plaza. Nice thing to know that the bathrooms in the building are open and no need to get a key to use the bathroom which is nice! *Note, Kuakini just recently installed a new parking paid system. You can pay through the metropolitan app on your phone but I rather pay at the booth. Central Medicai Clinic gives a discounted parking slip and theirs was $1 off. Validation varies on each doctor's office. There is someone at exit booth to help with collection of payment, applying the discount and if you need a receipt, but it's upon request. I asked how do one pay on the app with the doctor's paper discount. She said to scan the QR code at the doctor's office which includes the discount and not the QR code in the parking lot. The nice thing is the parking is free for the 1st hour!

Medical care in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I used to visit this building when my doctor was here. I switched Physicians, but I still come here when I bring my mom to her appointments. Kuakini Medical Plaza is right next door to Kuakini Medical Center, where the hospital is. There's a convenient lab on the ground floor. Parking is free for the first hour! This is great because mom's doctor is quick! (My former physician ran late most of the time and talked a lot, so I usually had to pay... uhg!) The only downside is the confusing way that the parking structure connects to the building. We usually park on the Third Level, but it connects to the Second Floor, which is Central Medical Clinic. Just remember that the Parking Level is not the same number as the connecting floor number - and that only parking levels 3 and 4 connect to the building... LOL! Good luck!

Free From Chronic Pain by Suzanna Williams…read more I recently had spine fusion surgery at Kuakini Hospital on August 21,25. The surgery was a complete success without any complications. I believe, wholeheartedly, that my success is due to everyone who played a part of my experience at Kuakini Hospital. You changed my life! Thank you! 1. Dr. Awaya, Orthopedic Surgeon 2. Pre-check in by phone and in person (staff and nurses) 3. Surgery day preparations (staff and nurses) 4. Surgical nurses and assistants that supported Dr.Awaya's efforts and plan for a successful surgery 5. Nurses (post surgery) 6. Physical Therapist (post surgery) 7. Occupational Therapist (post surgery) 8. Social Worker (post surgery) 9. Cafeteria personnel My story is nothing new when I share I had been battling chronic back pain for years. The journey had been a very long and winding road trying this and that to relieve my chronic pain. There were some things that worked along the way but unfortunately my chronic pain persisted that enviably lead me to surgery. I went to my first consultation with Dr.Awaya. This was the day I would get answers to what was causing my pain. First impressions always speaks volumes to me. He entered the room with confidence. He introduced himself and asked me how I was doing. I had my list of concerns ready and I am a very long winded person...I can talk forever and he took the time to listen without any interruptions. He then led into showing me what was causing my chronic pain at L4 and L5. He did this on the computer using my MRI image that had been taken at a recent visit to the emergency room back in March of this year. He went over my condition giving it a name called Spondylolisthesis and explained to me how spinal fusion surgery can correct this condition. He spoke with confidence with no fluff and did not mince his words. He got right to the point. I appreciated that. We met once more before the surgery where he then gave me his expectations of the surgery: 1. Approximately how long the surgery could take (3-4 hours) 2. Explained the possibility of infection 3. Explained the surgery procedure 4. My length of stay in the hospital (2 days) 5. Recovery at rehabilitation center (2 weeks) 6. Follow-up visit with him in (2 weeks) Everything went according to plan. I had surgery on July 21, 2025 and discharged to recovery on July 23, 2025 without any complications due to the wonderful people working at Kuakini Hospital. The level of care provided to me by the nurses, therapists, staff, and others assigned to my care were instrumental to my surgery success and healing process. 1. Everyone always explained what they were doing and why it was necessary 2. Everyone worked as a unified team member 3. Nurses introduced themselves switching shifts 4. Updated my board accordingly 5. Administered prescribed medications accordingly 6. Monitored my care per doctor's order precisely 7. Always asked about my well-being 8. The physical and occupational therapists were instrumental to my long-term success 9. Kudos to the cafeteria staff in preparing my food. It was the best tasting hospital food I had ever had. I never went hungry! Everyone did exactly what they were assigned to do. The environment was conducive to a successful post-surgery outcome. God bless all of you! Post surgery update. Three weeks after surgery: 1. Discharged from recovery on August 4, 2025 returned home 2. I can walk for 30 minutes around my neighborhood. I have done it three days straight now without any problems 3. I can go to church for 2 hours 4. I can bend my leg to put on my own socks and shoes 5. I am totally free from chronic pain- Praise the Lord! Excellent teamwork! I knew I was in good hands, God's hands, when I was wheeled into the operating room and the music was playing and everyone was pumped up and ready to go.... Mahalo to all!

Unfortunately he got worse than when he first arrived here. The staff here are uncaring and hold zero accountability when issues arise. Staff also belittled family when they visited, saying if he had this many visitors, they could care for him at home. Grandpa came in for shirt term rehab, who is staffing to judge a patient/ resident for why they are there. They should be providing compassionate care, but this was not the case. This facility also lacks clear and closed loop communication between nursing, social work, and family members. They tried to unsafely discharge grandpa back home due to "insurance" without ever having an interdisciplinary care plan meeting. I had to advocate for grandpa time and time again. But still to no avail. On his day of discharge, nursing did not bring grandpa downstairs for his scheduled medical transport ride back home, so the transport driver drove off. Placing even further stress on family members to figure out a safe way to transport grandpa back home. I have nothing positive to say about this facility. The only thing is you don't have to worry about your loved ones with dementia escaping as this place is locked and triple locked, like a prison. You can't enter without someone letting you in, and you can't catch the elevator or leave the facility without someone escorting you out. Safe, yes. Excessive, totally.
