It's unfortunate that, as maxillofacial surgeons, they don't perform mandibular tori reductions! I was amazed as, from what I understand, it's a pretty common procedure. But Jen was certain and said they only do extractions. So I guess they perform limited services. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Haruki and his amazing staff at Pacific Maxilllofacial Center in 2023. I went to Dr. Haruki from a referral from my dentist to get two dental implants. After the first consult Dr. Haruki conferred with my dentist and it was decided to go with three dental implants as it be a better long term results. These are my first implants and it is relatively long process but they have been fantastic. The staff is wonderful and it's been a pleasure working with their team.

The dreaded passage of adulthood where we get our wisdom tooth/teeth removed I had x-rays in 2018 and my regular dentist saw my bottom wisdom teeth started to show, but was impacted and didn't look like they needed to get removed. So she mentioned we shall follow up in a couple years ... Fast forward to 2021 I got updated x-rays and guess what? My wisdom teeth needed to get removed T . T I was referred to Pacific Maxillofacial to get my 2 bottom wisdoms removed. Initially, I scheduled an appointment in July. But my right bottom wisdom tooth decided to shift and cause immense pain. I called the office and they were able to squeeze me in for an appointment for Friday. I opted for local anesthesia because 1. I didn't want to come in for an additional consultation for the laughing gas 2. I didn't want to be hungry for potentially 12+ hours and 3. I just didn't want to pay the additional fee lol I was genuinely terrified, but the dental assistant was very reassuring mentioning it will feel similarly to getting cavities removed. The dental assistant asked me about my medical history and took my blood pressure. Then Dr. Haruki came in talked to me about the risk of temporary to permanent nerve damage, which occurs with any type of surgery. They put a topical numbing gel prior to injecting me with novocaine. They were able to remove my teeth in 2 pieces, which was impressive. Honestly, it felt like an intense teeth cleaning session. There was a couple of times I felt sensitivity, so Dr. Haruki added more numbing. Overall, I didn't feel much besides just a lot of tugging and pulling. With a couple of stitches, I was done! The whole session took about 45 minutes and costed under $400 (with HDS insurance). I was prescribed ibuprofen along with hydrocodone and sent on my way with a small care package of gauze, a syringe, instructions, and they even let me keep my teeth lol It's been a full 24 hours since the procedure. I have slight swelling, but you wouldn't be able to tell unless I mention it. The prescribe meds has me feeling super rested. I slept probably 18+ hours and feel great! Honestly, I don't plan on coming back. If you are looking for a place to get your wisdoms removed, this is the place! They are fast, thorough, and located right by McDonalds lol Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next! read more

I had to have emergency oral surgery on an impacted wisdom tooth with a cavity. It had gotten worse over time because I have terrible anxiety from bad past experiences going other places for dental care. My dentist was out of town so his substitute tried to fit me in, but wasn't able to help me. He referred me to the oral surgeon they recommend regularly. I looked up that surgeon's reviews and was absolutely turned off from trusting their services. So I looked for my own oral surgeon and found Pacific Maxillofacial Center, read all their positive reviews and told my dentist that's who I wanted to use. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff offered superior customer care, the surgeon and hygienists were informative, the labs had state of the art equipment and everyone expressed genuine compassion for their patients.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I knew immediately I found the best oral surgeon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The morning of my appointment, I was still nervous because I was afraid of the risks and generally the unknown. I remember the staff being so sweet to me and the room was comfortable. Everyone was so attentive to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was out like a light and woke up briefly in the recovery room. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Next thing I remembered was my surgeon calling me that evening to check on me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only had to take regular Tylenol he did such a great job. I had protein shakes and Greek yogurt for dinner and breakfast the next morning. By noon the next day I felt totally fine and even went to work. I couldn't believe how quickly I was recovering, which I am confident is because of how great a job he did. I highly recommend Pacific Maxillofacial to anyone, especially those who are like me and need extra TLC. read more

Wisdom tooth removal (May 2024) Following my 4 wisdom teeth extractions, I immediately got a sinus infection 1 day after which caused mind-splitting migraines, congestion, and facial pain. I now have to get a sinus surgery and have been on 2 courses of antibiotics, 1 round of steroids, and over $300 worth of pain medication, CT scans, nasal irrigation methods due to this service. The wisdom tooth extraction was $1000, and now I will have to spend another $1,000-$2,000 trying to fix what was done with my sinus surgery. I did go to check up with Dr. Haruki a week after my extraction, and he looked at my extraction site for 5 minutes and told me there were no sinus holes or problems he could detect. Unfortunately he was wrong and my left maxillary sinuses are completely opacified and they are damaged. I now have to take off work another 2 weeks and pay for this sinus surgery as well. The staff and Dr. were very nice and attentive. They were fast to reply and were fast to offer help. Unfortunately the actual service has had a lasting negative impact on me. read more

Oral surgery isn't something fun to rate. Plus I still recall when your mom drives you down there and the anticipation is unbearable. Well now when you're retired and have to drive yourself, it's worse! But I checked in anyway, all Covid secure. The staff was nice. Fill out forms, fill out forms, what ya gonna do? Gotta gotta. So right on time I get called in. To old to make a run for it right? I mean shame... so I go in. Really professional folk. Everything you've ever thought of is explained to you about the procedure. Then I'm numbed, shot up with whatever and we go at it. Now not that it is ever a pleasant experience having someone yank stuff out of your head, it went about as well as could be expected. And this is coming from someone that had many teeth yanked over the years, baby, braces blockers and 4 impacted wisdoms. They followed up with a call that evening and a few days later sent a how ya doin' text. I hope I never have to do business with them again in the future, but as far as I'm concerned, they do what they do very well. read more

I am truly grateful that my dentist referred me to Dr. Haruki. I had two implants and both went very well without any pain or complications. Dr. Haruki and his staff are patient friendly and the follow up appointments show they really care. The office staff try their best to make sure I got the maximum benefits from my dental plan. A few years ago I had to have oral surgery , Dr. Haruki asked what medical plan I was under. He suggested I go to my medical plans surgeon because if Dr. Haruki did the surgery my plan might not cover me and I would have to pay for it. That is how honest Dr. Haruki is. Pacific Maxillofacial Center is no ka oi. Harles N. read more

Sooo no one ever wants to go see an oral surgeon to have wisdom teeth removed, but if you find yourself in such a pickle like I did, the wonderful dental team at Pacific Maxillofacial Center would be the ideal choice. My upper wisdom tooth started hurting to the point that I was having trouble eating so I called to get an appointment, but you need to have a referral from your dentist. Landmark Dental (a great dental pick for everyday dental needs) helped me set an appointment but it was awhile away as PMC is popular. Fortunately, PMC was able to squeeze me in in less than a week as I was in pain. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted kindly by front desk staff with a temperature check and you answer a Covid questionnaire, and I waited less than 10 min before being escorted to the procedure room. The nurse Kaui is wonderful and friendly and tried to calm my nerves. Dr. Oishi soon came in and explained the process, and administered local anesthesia. I barely felt any sting with the shots. While waiting for the anesthesia to kick in, Kaui went over the steps for how to take care of the site at home after the extraction. Now, on to the main event! Dr. Oishi returned to check that the numbness has fully kicked in. Then he started with some pressure and explained what to expect as he worked. In less than 15 min, my wisdom tooth was fully removed perfectly with no cracks. The whole process was a total dream as far as wisdom tooth removal goes. Dr. Oishi also followed up with me in the evening to make sure I was doing ok. It's been around 10 hours since the exactions and I don't have any swelling. I was also able to have normal food too; I just chewed on the opposite side of by ex-wisdom tooth. Highly, highly recommend this establishment. Mahalo Dr. Oishi and Nurse Kaui and the staff at PMC. read more

My dentist discovered a cracked tooth that needed to be extracted. He recommended that I see Dr. Haruki to have the cracked molar surgically removed since the crack extended down to the bone and infected. As would be expected, I was nervous, however upon entering Dr. Haruki's office, my wife and I were greeted with friendly and warm smiles. This made us feel very comfortable and like family. I do not remember everyone's names, but everyone was amazingly friendly, compassionate and professional. Dr. Haruki's assistant, Ashlyn took me to the operating room and with very specific details, prepared me for my surgery and made me feel very relaxed. Dr. Haruki then came in and made sure I was at ease and explained my options. Then after making sure that I was ready and numb from the numbing medicine, proceeded to perform the surgery. Dr. Haruki did an excellent job of extracting the tooth and removed all of my infected bone and replaced the missing bone with a bone graft. Forty eight hours later I am completely pain free and on the road to having Dr. Haruki perform a tooth implant. Dr. Haruki is an amazing surgeon, his staff is highly knowledgeable and very caring and I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone looking for a professional experts.

Recently I went back to Pacific Maxillofacial Center for an extraction. I knew what to expect since I had a previous extraction performed by Dr. Haruki some years ago. However, this review is to reaffirm that the entire experience was as positive as it could possibly be. Dr. Haruki and the staff members are very professional, yet friendly, kind and caring. But beyond that, Dr. Haruki is a highly skilled doctor. When the anesthetic started to wear off, I only needed one dose of over the counter Ibuprofen. After that, there was not much pain at all, and I did not need the prescribed drugs. Following the written care instructions is important. I suppose we all have different pain tolerances, and I can only speak about my own experience, which has been very positive on 2 ocassions. Many thanks to Dr. Haruki and the staff. read more

I had to get a tooth extracted. Not most people look forward to that... I know I don't, but Dr. Osihi was amazing, he communicated with me the entire process and what needed to be done. His staff was amazing including Ashlyn who assisted in the procedure. I was told what to expect during and after the removal. I would highly recommend Dr. Ohshi for an oral surgery. read more

5 stars all around! I had a wisdom tooth extraction today and it went really well. From getting scheduled to confirming my appointment over phone a few days before and up until and after the procedure, every person I encountered was amazing! I had stated during confirmation that I was really nervous as I'm not a big fan of teeth work but I was reassured it'll be okay. Dr. Todd Haruki was excellent, watched a video before hand and he also explained verbally as well what was being done. The dental assistant (I believe that's who she was, I'm so sorry I forgot her name ) was just as amazing, made sure I felt okay and made sure to ask how I was feeling through out the extraction (Dr. Haruki also did the same), really made me feel at ease. Honestly the whole office staff was amazing! I definitely recommend going here if you ever need any kinda of dental work done! Thank you everyone! read more

Excellent team and highly recommended. Organized, courteous, compassionate. The level of care and cleanliness was above excellent. From scheduling to pre registration to procedure and then checking out the care I received was excellent. read more

Dr. Todd Haruki very professional. Highly recommended by pediatric dentist & insurance. Staff very friendly & efficient. Everything is explained in advanced. No surprises. Son, 16yrs old just removed braces few months ago, after 2 yrs. Wisdoms were growing crooked and didn't want to mess up his teeth alignment. Note: consult appt needed if having anesthesia for procedure. Some insurance may cover. Also, if wisdoms are impacted, the costs maybe higher. Also, will not be able to eat or drink midnight the night before. Our appointment was first thing in morning at 745am. Better to schedule an early morning appt. Procedure took about 1hr. Recovery took about 30 mins. Make sure to ask about pain medication. Staff will go over what you should do and what you shouldn't do. You will be in pain for at least the first day. Need to put pressure on areas. Staff will provide extra gauze and instructions sheet to take home. You should rest when you get home. Note: staff provides temp ice packs. You should get more for home use. In the evening, we got a phone call from Dr. Todd Haruki checking on how my son was doing. Very happy with Dr. Todd Haruki and his staff. Highly recommended. 19 years experience. read more

Pacific Maxillofacial Center - Business card. Dr. Todd Haruki. - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Aloha! This past Wednesday Dr. Oishi & his support team extracted 3 of my Wisdom teeth. At 70 years old I was not really looking forward to this. In addition I had an unpleasant experience with a different firm and Dr. so decided to try Dr. Oishi after reading many favorable reviews. From the minute you step into their very clean sanitized office you're greeted with pleasantness & compassion. After a very informative consultation with Dr. Oishi it was apparent my choice to come to this Center was a wise one. His support Staff was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I decided to have general anesthesia done. The next thing I knew my Daughter was escorting me to her car and I was on my way home. I am extremely satisfied with the results. I'm following their instructions for after surgery care and have very little pain. Dr. Oishi called later that evening to check on me. This is the type of Dr. and Center you definitely need to consider. You will not be dissatisfied. You are literally treated like Family. Thank you so much Dr. Oishi for your care and superior surgical skills. You're the BEST! Be Safe & Take Care, Ray read more

I had to get my 2nd molar extracted but was very apprehensive due to my fear of the procedure. Dr. Neil Oishi and assistant assured me that I will be taken care of and will make me comfortable. I was told every step that they were doing during the process. They really helped me calm down so I had nothing to worry about. When I got home. Dr Oishi even followed with a phone call on how I was doing. I really appreciate the outstanding service provided by Dr Oishi, his assistant and the office staff. Double thumbs up! read more

I nominate Dr. Oishi and his assistant for an award in everything. From dental services to customer services, professionalism, humility etc. . . The whole experience in that room; from word choice, to tone of voice, explanation of my situation, every second of our conversation was just profound and fulfilling that gave a feeling of assurance that "I am in great hands today" thought. His assistant (local girl kine-sorry I forgot her name) was even more convincing that there's great people in this world; with her performance and how she assisted him. In the latter part of surgery, they were sooo gentle and quick I didn't realize we were done. Even after loosing another tooth, I still walked out with such great feeling. The staff also were kind and helpful. They were able to knock my fees down. . This place deserves 10 stars. Thank you to everyone. Your smiles are sooo contagious i walked away with it.

No one wants to get teeth removed, and most of us don't like the Dentist, but Pacific Maxillofacial Center changes your view on both. I've been putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed for many years. My Dentist encouraged me to do it quickly before they cause more of a problem. He referred me to see Dr. Haruki at Pacific Max Center. I finally made the appointment and had a consult. I didn't have to wait more than a minute and I was taken in to the office. Dr. Haruki explained everything to me and went over sedation options for the procedure. He was very intelligent and friendly, and answered every question I had. The staff then provided me with the different prices for sedation based on my insurance. Fortunately my insurance covered general anesthesia, so of course I chose to be knocked out for this procedure. On the day of the surgery the staff was friendly and I was seen right away. I was instructed to wash my hands and rinse with peroxide before I was put in the chair. Without even having to ask they give you a bit of laughing gas so you feel nothing as the IV needle is put in your arm. It was almost relaxing. Next thing you know Dr. Haruki says that he is going to put in something in your IV to relax you, and your fast asleep. I woke up feeling almost refreshed even with gauze in your mouth and ice on your face. I was walked to recovery, given detailed instructions on aftercare and prescriptions for pain meds and antibiotics to take to a pharmacy. I left feeling like something I had stressed out about was finally over with no pain. Later that day Dr. Haruki himself gave me a call to make sure I was doing ok, and I thought that was a pretty nice touch. He seemed genuinely concerned with my wellbeing which was comforting. The aftercare was easy, with the meds I experienced mostly no pain. For some reason 1 of my 4 extractions got a dry socket and it was painful. I called the office and they got me in right away to make sure all was ok. Dr. Haruki, checked it out and said it was good to go, I'll just have to ride it out with some pain meds as needed. Overall this was as great of an experience as you can get. This office is top of the line Dr.Haruki and his staff are the utmost professionals. As crazy as this sounds if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't hesitate. I'm so happy my Dentist referred me here. I couldn't have found a better office myself. read more

In this time of thanksgiving, I am putting out this long overdue positive review for the Pacific Maxillofacial Center, Dr. H and his fantastic Honolulu office staff. The staff is professional, friend and caring. Can't say anything but good about them. They do a great job of getting you through the process. Trying to find the words to describe a basically pain free tooth extraction. I was in not in pain at any time. Let me just leave it at that and put a strong recommendation to use the Pacific Maxillofacial Center for your complex dental needs. read more

I was VERY impressed with the friendly and very knowledgeable staff. The cleanliness of the office. The advanced technology. And most of all Dr. Oishi. He was patient and friendly and took his time answering All of my questions. On surgery day, the whole staff put me at ease. Dr. Oishi explained everything that was happening step by step. I chose sweet air, so I was fully aware of what was going on. I didn't feel any pain or discomfort either during or after the surgery. I had 3 teeth pulled and bone grafting done. I remember that all during the surgery, his assistant kept making sure that my lips didn't dry out. This is my second day after surgery and I have had no pain and minor swelling. Thank you everyone for taking the stress out of what I thought would be a very stressful experience. To top it off, DR. OUSHI himself called me later that evening to see how I was feeling! A doctor who really cares about his patient's after surgery. Dr. Oishi, you truly are THE TEETH WHISPERER! Mahalo read more

Because I needed oral surgery, I was referred to Pacific Maxillofacial Center by my dentist. From the moment I spoke to someone on the phone, to the moment I walked in their door, their service was absolutely phenomenal! Dr. Oishi and his entire staff kept me well-informed of everything they were going to be doing from the start to the end of my procedure. During my surgery, utmost importance was placed on making sure I was comfortable and free of pain the entire time. At its completion, I was thoroughly informed of how to care for my surgical site. What impressed me the most was that Dr. Oishi PERSONALLY took the time out his busy schedule to follow-up with me later in the evening. Although I missed his call, he left a message reassuring me that I could contact his physician's exchange number should anything arise. In addition, his office staff also did a follow-up courtesy call a few days later to make sure there was no problem with my healing progress. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pacific Maxillofacial Center. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM if you're anxious or fearful about oral surgery. They truly care about their patients not only in the office, but out. Thank you Dr. Oishi and staff!!! read more

Had the best experience there with Dr. Haruki. No one wants to go through any major dental procedures. But from the beautiful office staff and nurses, everything was smooth and easy. Dr. Haruki was very thorough and seemed to care for my issue. All the staff was friendly and patient with me and my questions. I look forward to a long relationship with them (but hopefully not too soon ). Again this was my first experience with them. And it was awesome!!!! Thank you to all the staff there!! read more

The absolute best dental experience with zero pain before, during and after my extraction of a very troublesome molar. Doctor Haruki, his assistant Tiffany and his entire staff are simply amazing! All of my passed bad experiences are now virtually erased because this team has really set the standard are far as painless dentistry goes. I highly recommend Doctor Haruki! Doctor Haruki also called me later in the evening to check up on me and gave reassurance that if i needed them for anything dealing with my after care to not hesitate and call at any hour. AMAZING! read more

PUTTING FEARS TO REST.... WOW! That was my reaction after my procedure and very first time have oral surgery. This is my review on a recent consult and oral surgery performed by Dr. Neil Oishi located in downtown Honolulu at the Pacific Maxillofacial Center. Growing up, I HATED going to the dentist. Much like many others, the thought of needles and pliers in my mouth just sent tingles down my spine. So, it was no different when I made my appointment with Dr. Oishi to have, what my dentist called, "emergency surgery". Those words alone brought back many fears from my childhood, not to mention the angst of having to face traffic in downtown Honolulu. Reluctantly, I head over to my appointment and my fears automatically began to settle down. I was relieved to find their office conveniently located just off Peletania (Beretania) Blvd., makai of McDonalds. Parking is free but the stalls were a little smaller and there's street parking available (metered stalls) just behind the 3 story structure. The office was very clean; garbage cans having been recently emptied with no shortage of reading material in the lobby. But what TRULY helped put my fears to rest was the warm and friendly greeting I received from two very nice and friendly ladies who greeted my husband and I while politely introducing themselves. Being a gay man, I still come across the unprofessional and at times, the unacceptable customer service. This wasn't the case at Dr. Oishi's office. Rachel and Tala were very pleasant and professional throughout. Speaking of Rachel and Tala, they also booked my follow up appointment with me right then and there which is VERY smart of them to do coming from a customer stand point. While not everyone maximizes and manages their customers right then and there, this isn't the case here at Dr. Oishi's offices. After being made very comfortable in their lobby chairs, and before I knew it, it was time for my consult. As I walk in, I notice the ample rooms that were very much like the lobby, CLEAN AND SANITIZED. This dialed down my anxiety about my appointment from a 10 to a 7 automatically. After taking my vitals, taking a few quick X-rays and going over my allergies to my medication, I was taken in to another room where I would meet Dr. Oishi. Once he entered the room, he discussed what he found on the X-rays and lookied at my fully erupted wisdom tooth. He further discussed how he wanted to approach the problem, what he would do in the procedure and what I could expect from everything. I was asked to initial and sign a waiver which covered everything we discussed. And then came the magic moment when I was given some nitrous oxide to help calm my anxiety. And there it was......DA NEEDLE! By then, it was too late. I was like puddy in his hands and I couldn't back out now. But when the needle went in, I barely felt anything except a little pressure in the back of my jaw. But then something happened that the doctor said would happen but I wasn't expecting and that was when my tooth cracked during the extraction. As the gas flowed, I felt absolutely nothing and before I knew it, about 10 minutes later, I heard "ok the tooth is out and we're just doing some cleaning in here and then you'll be on your way". From that moment on, whatever little fear I was feeling had completely dissipated. After the procedure, I was given a kit to take home to help me with my healing process. Much to my surprise, after I returned home and taking a 2 hour nap, Dr. Oishi called from home to check on me! To me, this is truly what is meant by the term "Health CARE". Far too often, "heath care" seems like "health SCARE" but not the case with Dr. Oishi. Smart, brilliant surgeon, doctor and genuine. Growing up, I was always taught the TRUE meaning of "mahalo" was. While many use it to mean or express "thank you", it really means "that because of you (what you have done), I am in a state of gratitude". So to you, Dr. Oishi, I say "mahalo piha!" read more

Had 2 of my bottom wisdom teeth removed (blessed I had no top wisdom teeth growing!) and I'm so glad that's over with. My family dentist referred me to Dr. Todd Haruki because he was one of the few surgeons that would be covered under our medical plan and they were super flexible with an opening schedule near Christmas time. It was urgent I needed to pull out my wisdom teeth because my teeth were shifting already after having my braces removed. I visited the Pacific Maxillofacial Center location on Young Street, which is right next to McDonalds Beretania. To my surprise, I had Dr. Neil Oishi instead but wasn't too sure if he's another surgeon that would be covered under my plan. I consulted with Dr. Oishi, who was a bit monotone but very warm and friendly in our conversations. I scheduled to have my wisdom teeth pulled out a week later, and the process of pulling out 2 teeth only took 45 minutes. The numbing really helped because I couldn't feel a thing (I was awake during the procedure, which I think is called a local anesthesia.) Once the numbing wore off a few hours later, the pain started to grow and I wanted to cry for 2 days lol. Gauges and painkillers are your friends. It was so difficult eating and drinking for about a week. Dr. Oishi provided me the prescription for 2 types of painkillers (basically high grams of Ibuprofen) and a syringe to use and get rid of any food debris stuck in the wisdom hole. NOTE: make sure you have someone to take you home after getting your teeth pulled out. I was about to bus home myself, but there were too much blood and drools, and I looked like a chipmunk. I guess you can Uber/Lyft home too - it was a nice ride home since the driver was so sincere and made sure I didn't talk the entire time haha. Anyways, -1 star because the front desk receptionists (two ladies) were not the friendliest. I was sitting in front of them, though I'm pretty short so you couldn't even see my head, and could hear them gossiping about a client they got off the phone with. They weren't exactly helpful either because (obviously) this was my first time getting my wisdom teeth pulled out, and didn't know if I should or shouldn't eat 24 hours before my procedure. I had to call and make sure. Also, I scheduled an appointment through phone call, so I don't think you can do it online on their website as of yet. read more

Amazing service!!The office manager Jen was awesome, she called and followed up with us. She texted us to remind us of our appointment and was so nice and patient with our many questions and concerns.Explained everything and really took the time to assist us. My son had 3 wisdoms removed and Dr. Haruki was great too, he was fast and efficient. So professional, he called us that evening to follow up after his surgery. Such a great oral surgeon. I would highly recommend him and his staff!! Thanks for taking such great care of my son. read more

AMAZING SERVICES HERE. Even before coming into the center ; setting up an appointment was super easy. They provided information for financial assistance if needed. The great services continue once u enter the door The staff makes you feel welcome they address you by ur name not just sir or a generic hello . Before starting , I was thoroughly informed of the procedures . with the pandemic going on the staff took the extra time to make sure everyone was safe. During the procedure they kept me informed of all that was happening. The dr himself was quick and showed authentic concern with my comfort level. I would definitely recommend pacific center to anyone. read more

this is the most time deficient and outright crooks of all dental surgeons. the surgeon never saw my son to perform a wisdom tooth removal, only looked at his xrays sent over by our regular dentist. I had to leave for another appointment and after an hour of waiting, we left! they had the gall to charge us $56 for nothing... and then sent the unpaid bill to collections. Don't go to this place unless you want poor service in an untimely manner. 5 years later, paid$35 more because of the collection agency! read more

Jane Y. I had my tooth extracted by Dr. Haruki. His skill made the procedure pain free. I couldn't believe the tooth was out quickly. His assistant made me feel comfortable and calm. I would certainly recommend Dr. Haruki if one needs any dental work done. I appreciated the phone call in the evening to check on my condition. read more

THANK YOU Dr. Haruki, and the entire staff!! This place ROCKS! HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming to do your dental procedures here. I visited the Honolulu office for the first time to have a consultation for wisdom teeth removal. Though I am a little older than your average wisdom tooth extraction candidate, it was time. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff from the front desk, the assistants, the technicians to Dr. Haruki himself was very professional, kind, caring and just terrific!! He makes you feel at ease and he explains everything thoroughly, and he never made me feel like he was in a hurry, which is amazing, considering how busy he must be! The woman at the front desk who initially helped me with the insurance and booking was terrific. I was happy to see her at the Waipio office. She took great care of me and was very helpful! I have a strong fear of dental related procedures, and I was not exactly looking forward to this, but I knew I was going to be in great hands in this office. Every single person was so helpful and nice and made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands! I visited the Waipio office for the actual procedure, and to my delight, I saw the same friendly faces I had come to know in town, greeting me and getting me ready to go. The offices are serene and pristine and everyone is helpful and attentive. While certain procedures may not necessarily be fun to have done, I really could not have been happier with the way that the entire procedure went from start to finish!! Dr. Haruki is awesome! His entire staff is awesome! They will treat you with the best care possible, and they are very friendly. Dr. Haruki was fantastic as was the assistant who prepped me for the procedure! I think there were three of them in the room with me, and they were all wonderful! I am very grateful to them for keeping me comfortable from moment one. They all show extreme professionalism, kindness and compassion for anyone who is apprehensive about these types of procedures. This is the place to go to get your surgical dental procedures done! They did everything to make sure I felt safe and comfortable, and informed. I really cannot say enough good things about this place! I could not be happier that I chose Dr. Haruki, he really is great! He even called after my procedure to check up and see how I was doing! I thought that was amazing considering how busy these surgeons are, and what a kind personal touch! Thank you so much Pacific Maxillofacial Center for an amazing and pain-free experience! You guys are the BEST!! read more

This review is for my appointment with Dr Neil Oshio at Pacific Maxillofacial Center located on Young street just behind McDonalds. In my life, I've done some crazy things. Skydiving, dirt biking in the desert and driving really fast cars in not so safe ways. All theses experiences were not so scary to me. Having my dentist tell me that I have to have my 2 wisdom teeth pulled out is something that not only made me cringe but really scared me. I've never had to have any of my teeth removed and the more I spoke about the procedure to my friends and family the more scared I got. Hearing horror stories of pain, discomfort and the sounds of teeth cracking was something that I couldn't prepare myself for. The cherry on top was seeing my friend just before walking into the building and hearing his experience from another doctor that was not so pleasant. Long surgery time, difficulties with extraction and so on. Really didn't help the cause as I'm steps away from the building. That all changed once I entered Dr Neil Oshio's Office. I was greeted warmly by his staff and asked to fill out the usually paperwork prior to the appointment. The staffed help with any questions I had and made me feel a little more relaxed than I was not 5 mins ago. After my paperwork was complete it took all of 3 mins for my name to be called and I was escorted to my room for the procedure. As I'm sitting in my chair, the nurse who would assist with the procedure asked some questions and reassured me that I'm in good hands and not to worry. I'm sure you could see it on my face that I was hesitant on moving forward, but her reassurance was all I needed to break through that wall of fear. Moments later Dr Oshio entered the room to go over the procedure, explaining the goods and the bads and again reassuring me that he will take good care of me. I've heard bad stories of going under and laughing gas so I asked to just to be numbed for the procedure. Minor pinches here and there but nothing that would equate to pain at all. He let the numbness set in and proceeded to check the area for sensitivity to pain prior to starting the procedure. All was good and as quick as the procedure started, it was done. The process of numbing took 2 times as long as the procedure to extract the 2 teeth itself. I was shocked. I felt no pain, a little pressure here and there and next thing I know Dr Oshio was done. The nurse then walked me to another room where she explained the healing process. Throughout her explanation she kept reiterating that if I had any questions or concerns not to hesitate and please call the office. As I was getting my paperwork finalized, the office staff helped with any additional questions I had and really made me feel relieved that I came here. All-in-all, what was probably the most scared I've been since I was a kid, turned into a walk in the park. I have a follow up appointment in a weeks time and am hoping to make a speedy recovery. I was told by the staff that in some cases the healing process is so quick that a follow up appointment may not be needed. I would definitely recommend Dr Oshio's Office to anyone that would need to have this procedure done. The entire experience was comforting and I would not hesitate to go back if need be. Thank you Dr Oshio, assisting nurse and staff on making this guy feel like I had nothing to worry about! Mahalo! read more

Dr. Haruki conducted my first wisdom teeth surgery and was professional the whole time. I received great care and walked me through all of the steps as well as knowledgeably answered my questions. I especially appreciated the part during my surgery where he would constantly check up on me. It was very comforting! Overall I had a great experience and would recommend 10/10 read more
