The office manager is so obnoxious, and ridiculously rude. She'll text patients during work hours with extremely concerning , and disturbing comments to paid patients. Evidently, this clinic allows this type of disturbing behavior because I've been going here for a while. In addition, the Pearl City location is just as worst. When I filed a complaint about the office manager over the phone to their clinic, the office personnel there told me to shut up or else she's not helping me. Excuse me! How obnoxiously rude and unprofessional at the least. They run this clinic like the circus with clowns working there. I would give them a negative 0 rating but that would be to kind. Save your precious time and money because this clinic will never make changes on how they operate. Go somewhere else that deserves your business. They're so many good doctors out there that will treat you bette and offer better service.

I informed them that I do not have a PCP since UHA does not need a PCP referral and that I can directly schedule with the provider. She was adamant about having a PCP which again what does one do if I don't have a PCP and I am 45 just needing a screening. OMG at least the other office I just called also asked for a PCP referral and when asked I said to just do a screening cause of my age. OMG. Are we in the 1990's for medical care? Interesting if you search the HGSAIEA it is the same site, location, etc as Robert Wong.

My procedure took abut 45 minutes and he was able to find polyps and remove them. The staff at Pacific Endoscopy are very, very nice as well. To maintain your privacy, you are assigned a number, so they call your number instead of your name when the nurses are ready to prep you. Although I could only see his eyes, in my drug-hazed state, Dr. Wong reminded me of my husband at the same age. That was strangely comforting to me. Dr. Wong and Pacific Endoscopy were very good about giving me instructions, such as the day-before prep (not fun), and what to do on the day of your procedure. They provided me with a Medi-Van service number that I could call, since I wasn't able to drive home after the procedures. They are very thorough in telling patients what to do and expect with these procedures.

#thankfulthursday…read more Healthcare workers deserve more recognition. Sometimes, things happen and they have to stay calm and professional while keeping their sense of humor and getting the job done... I appreciate Dr. Morisaki and his staff because they are a great team. Everyone was cheerful and informative! They made sure that I understood what was going to happen and how to prepare for the procedure. Dr. Morisaki even called me a few days after the procedure to follow up with me! Dr. Morisaki has two offices: one at Kuakini Physicians Tower in Honolulu and one in Aiea. I chose Kuakini. It has validated covered parking and a safe, locked restroom down the hallway. My friend, Paul C., taught me to bring some treats for the office staff. After I "recovered", I was able to get a box of baked manapua, bring it to the Kuakini Medical Center, and call the office so someone could meet me at the Ground Level, and wrap each manapua individually in a bags (COVID protocol). She brought some gloves so we were able to keep the manapua "clean". Haha! The look of gratitude on her face was priceless. It was as if no other patient remembered them and their hard work. I told her that I couldn't do her job... And it's true! I asked her to give some treats to the Recovery Room staff also. The office staff were great and the Recovery Room nurses were fabulous because they fed me after I woke up from anesthesia. They asked me if I wanted apple juice or graham crackers. I answered, "Both, please!" They asked me if I wanted more... I answered, "Yes, please!" Gosh ..those were the best graham crackers ever... So yummy, light and crisp! I sure enjoyed eating them! LOL! Thank you to Dr. Morisaki and his staff for taking good care of me! Remember your healthcare worker today!

I absolutely DO NOT recommend this physician…read more I am a retired ICU Registered Nurse. My husband is a retired physician. I was referred to Dr Yang for a colonoscopy - a 3 year post - polyp removal follow up. Below were some of my many concerns: 1.I found his administrative staff to be polite but incompetent - especially a male named Vincent. Vincent would repeatedly contact me over the course of 4 months to request my "healthcare authorization". Which I repeatedly re-sent. This was actually not what he needed. He was actually requesting my "health history". 2. The weekend before my scheduled "pre -procedure" appointment - Vincent contacted me yet again to let me know they had not yet received my "healthcare authorization". He said they would have to "cancel" my pre - procedure appointment " if they did not receive my paperwork by 5pm on that Friday. I again sent my "medical authorization " paperwork. Unfortunately- it was a Friday. And I realized my appointment was at 8am the following Monday. I did not want them to cancel an appointment that I had waited 4 months for. So - I contacted Dr Yang via cell number provided by voicemail. I reached him - and he was audibly disturbed that I had dared to contact him regarding ensuring that my appointment was kept as my paperwork was in order...he did wish to concern himself with such a trivial matter. I found him to be abrupt, condescending....and rude over the phone. 3. I showed up early on Monday morning with my husband at my side. Dr Yang was late. His waiting room was small- there were 3 other patients waiting with me. So - he's "cramming" 4 patients into an 8am time slot - with only ONE physician. As he entered - he was clearly irritable- he barked at his front desk staff to remove a sign from his office front door. As I was seated right next to the door - and his staff were behind an enclosed desk ( they would have had to walk around) - to be helpful I got up and removed the sign as he wished. He did not like that. He wanted his own staff to do as he bid. Already off to a bad start. 4. During my office visit - it became very clear that it was a "pre-procedure" visit. For a COLONOSCOPY. I've had 2 previous colonoscopies. The purpose of my visit was so that he could SELL me his "special" colon prep. And he wanted to explain to us personally all the details of his colon prep. During this entire visit - he was rude and condescending. He did not like the fact that I had called him personally on the weekend to ensure that I would see him Monday morning. He did not like the fact that both my husband and I were a nurse and a physician - he needed to let us understand we knew our place in HIS world. 5. We bought his "special" colon prep. I went home - and realized that Dr Yang was probably the worst physician I have ever encountered- both as a nurse working at Straub Hospital in their ICU...and as a patient. Horrible bedside manner...and I certainly was not willing to find out if his clinical skills were any better by letting him insert a scope into my unconscious body. I wrote above so that every person on Oahu would understand that they do not need to be treated in such an ABUSIVE way and receive substandard care from any physician. Just walk away. NO. I cancelled the appointment with him. Dr Russell Yang should never practice again. Dr James W O'Brien at Surgicare Hawaii eventually did my colonoscopy. He was EXCELLENT.

In January 2025 Her office told me they don't take Kaiser medical insurance and I had to explain everything all over to them again.
