My dad complained about a toothache after eating a hamburger that I had made for him. (And NO, it…read morewas not because of my cooking! Buwahahahahaha!) Originally, he thought maybe it was fluke (about the toothache), and was hoping it was just temporary, but after a few days when it didn't go away, I ended up taking my dad to see my dentist - Dr. Steven Kumasaka in Kaneohe. After Dr. Steve looked at my father's tooth, he knew exactly what was causing the pain, and decided to refer my dad to "Oral Surgery Hawaii" because my dad had excessive bleeding (probably due to my dad taking blood thinners) in the past, when Dr. Steve had to remove a tooth for my dad. Oral Surgery Hawaii has three offices - they have an office in town, at the Ala Moana building, an office in Aiea, & an office in Kaneohe. Upon calling Oral Surgery Hawaii, I elected to make an appointment for my dad at the office in town because it was close to my workplace where I could easily drop off, and pick up my dad. Dr. Craig Yamamoto was the oral surgeon who took care of my dad, and I must say that he did an outstanding job doing my dad's surgery as there was minimum bleeding, & the procedure wasn't to painful for him either. The staff at Oral Surgery Hawaii was very professional, and informative. They explained to me on what to do for my dad after the surgery, as well as the staff following up the next day to see how my dad was doing. Nobody wants a tooth removed, but if you ever need something like this done, I can easily say that going to Oral Surgery Hawaii is a great place, and if you're lucky enough to get Dr. Craig Yamamoto, even better! (Although probably all of the doctors on staff are good! Lol!). Oral Surgery Hawaii does an array of procedures, looking at their website, I see they do the following types of procedures - 1. Dental Implants 2. Wisdom Tooth Removal 3. Full-Arch Restoration 4. Bone Grafting 5. Tooth Extractions 6. Impacted Canines 7. Orthognathic Surgery 8. Cleft Lip and Palate 9. Oral Pathology 10. Pre-Prosthetic Surgery 11. Other Tooth Replacement Procedures 12. Facial Trauma 13. Platelet-Rich Plasma Here's da link - https://oralsurgeryhawaii.com/procedures

He could not have made us feel more comfortable and cared for. He answered all our questions, went to work, and even though he took his time, it was over before we knew it.

Big thanks to Dr. Miriam Amjadi, and the office of Todd Goode who were both a tremendous blessing in helping us.

Dr. Nishimoto I believe his title is an oral surgeon....some kind of specialty dentist!…read moreWe came to see Dr. Nishimoto because my son had a tooth ache which I thought was due to an infected cavity. (Abscess). His cheek was swollen. We had seen his pediatric dentist at Tooth Buds (whom we also love by the way). Dr. Lauren is not our normal dentist, but she was great. She called Dr. Nishimoto to seek a second opinion in his specialty. They were able to take us the very next morning (my son wasn't in pain, maybe a 2/10). They fit us into their schedule and we were able to get in first thing the next morning. They even let us in the office BEFORE they opened to sign papers and get settled. We didn't wait long at all in the waiting room. Front desk staff were very friendly, office was clean and inviting. But my main point for the review is the CARE we got from Dr. Nishimoto. He is AMAZING with kids!!! OMG you could just tell he LOVES kids. He asked my son questions to determine what was going on. He saw my son for a follow up appt in a few days. For me as a mom, I was very worried because of all the horror stories you hear about infections in the mouth that can lead to DEATH. He was very attentive to my worry and concern. He took the time to explain to me what could be causing the swelling and pain and ruled out what it couldn't be such as mumps! I found our office visit to be very thorough. Turns out his diagnosis of what my son had was correct and my son felt better the next day. If I can remember correctly he had like an infection of his salivary glands and some swollen lymph nodes. Thank you Dr. Nishimoto and staff for the above and beyond quality care. We hope to see you again in 10 years (and no sooner) when my son needs his wisdom teeth pulled!

She too was just as caring and professional! Throughout the procedure, Dr. Lung called out what was needed and not once did he have to repeat himself. (He also kept sharing the credit of the success of the procedure with Labry each time I thanked him!) This office is located in a building across the street from Don Quijote Kaheka.

From the moment I arrived, the office was professional, organized, and welcoming. Dr. Wright took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood the next steps moving forward. I really appreciate that level of communication and transparency. Let's be honest--going to the dentist is never easy, but the way they handle patients here makes a big difference. The staff is friendly, respectful, and helped make the whole experience a lot less stressful. I'm grateful for the care and consistency, even after more than a year between visits. Not my favorite place to visit--but definitely the dentist I trust.

Disclaimer: Long read. This is the only negative review I've ever written, but I felt the need to…read moreshare my experience. While the hygienists(Tiffany & Colin?) at this office provided excellent and thorough cleanings, my overall experience with the dental care was frustrating and inadequate. In December 2024, I visited for a routine cleaning and mentioned ongoing tooth sensitivity, particularly to cold liquids and brushing (no issues with chewing). Dr. Cross performed a brief examination, determined there were no cavities, and assured me my teeth were fine. However, the sensitivity persisted and worsened over time. By March 2025, the sensitivity and pain was more consistent, prompting me to contact the office. The front desk staff was dismissive, but Dr. Cross later called me directly and offered to see me the same day. Upon examination, he diagnosed a loose filling--an issue that should have been caught earlier. The cost for the replacement filling was initially quoted at $270, but moments after beginning the procedure, the nurse corrected the price to $350. (They did end up crediting me to quoted price) During the procedure, equipment shortage became apparent as conversation between nurse and dentist indicated there was no clamp for the procedure. He struggled to access the molar and applied excessive force to keep my mouth open, stretching my jaw unnaturally. As he continued working, I felt something was seriously wrong--my jaw had locked. Jaw-locking is an extremely painful and distressing condition where the joint becomes stuck, preventing normal movement. It had only happened to me once before, during all 4 wisdom tooth extractions at once, many years ago, so I immediately recognized the severity of the situation. I gestured for the dentist to stop, but he was visibly frustrated and did not immediately understand the problem. I attempted to murmur an explanation, but due to the anesthesia and my locked jaw, I could barely communicate. When he finally removed the mouth block and realized what had happened, his first reaction was alarm--he said, "Oh no, no, that's not good." Instead of offering reassurance, he attempted to force my jaw back into place, which I knew could cause further harm. I stopped him as it could make worsen the situation. At this point, I was panicked, unable to move my jaw or speak clearly, while Dr. Cross repeatedly muttered about how bad the situation was. I suggested calling in another doctor, Dr. Wright, hoping for a better approach. When Dr. Wright entered the room, his immediate response was, "Oh no, that's a scary, scary situation." His words did nothing to calm me. After briefly assessing the issue, suggested I use a warm towel to relax the area and left the room. Sitting with a locked jaw and worsening anxiety, I did my best to stay calm and massage the area until Dr. Wright returned in several minutes to repositioned my jaw, successfully unlocking it. The relief was immense. The procedure had to be stopped due to the incident, and Dr. Cross placed a temporary filling to return following week to complete. Given what had happened, I requested Dr. Wright handle the remainder of the procedure instead. The next visit went more smoothly, but the temporary filling had set more firmly than expected, requiring more drilling. Despite completing the filling, my tooth pain persisted. Over the following weeks, biting and chewing remained painful, and temperature sensitivity worsened. A follow-up visit provided little clarity--Dr. Wright speculated about a potential cracked tooth without a thorough examination and suggested a nightguard for $500 to reduce teeth grinding. After multiple visits, $800 in expenses, and an unnecessary traumatic experience, my tooth remains painful, and I struggle to chew normally. Each follow-up felt rushed, with no genuine concern for patient care. The office's lack of empathy, poor handling of complications, and dismissive attitude toward my worsening condition left me significantly worse off than when I initially sought treatment.

I wanted someone with a lot of experience because the thought of having posts screwed into my jaw bone frightened me at first. I did a lot of research on the internet but I was still skeptical but in my initial consultation with Dr Yamamoto, all my fears were dispersed instantly. He gentle mannerism and thorough knowledge won me over. Plus, he asked me questions and listened intently. I've been to so many dentist and oral surgeons and have come across many uncaring or indifferent doctors or worst yet I get the hard sell. There's a lot of money involved in implants and when you need 3 like I did, some dentists see gold in dem mountains! But to Dr Yamamoto, I really felt like he was truly concerned about my health and welfare, easing my fears, making me comfortable, explaining in detail the process and all the while checking on how I'm feeling. I knew from that initial meeting, he was the one. The staff was professional and experts in their jobs. Each did their task efficiently and I could tell they enjoyed what they did, took their job seriously and knew they were a part of a skilled team that worked like a well oiled machine. The prep went smoothly and then came the day to place the implants in my jaw. He said it would be painless and I am super sensitive to pain in my mouth. By golly, it was! He worked quickly and expertly and we was done placing 3 implants within an hour. Constantly checking on how I was doing. While he worked he explained to me what he was doing., I liked knowing what was going on. In the end we had a talk on caring for the implants, the staff gave me explicit instructions for home and that was it. BAM! After the surgery I had no discomfort at all. A little swelling but I took no pain pills. I followed their instructions and a week later he checked his work and was pleased with the result. Now the implants need to attach to the bone for 3 months. Today was my final visit. I was ecstatic! Three months flew by and I never once felt pain, discomfort or concern. I knew it was a success. Dr Yamamoto checked first on how I was doing and explained what the torque test was for. He checked his work, did his test and was pleased. Done! What was interesting was that he asked me how my experience was with him and his staff. And if I was pleased to please comment on his practice. I like that. As a business owner, I totally believe in asking your customer for their business and their feedback. I feel, it keeps you honest and true to your profession. You have nothing to hide. Your customers and in this case patients are your best advocates. Why not ask them to be your spokespersons. A businessman or practitioner strives even harder at their profession knowing they will be reviewed by every patient in every procedure. Kudos to this exceptional oral surgeon, his entire staff and the incredible practice they have fostered. One last thing. I have to give credit to my dentist Dr Candace Wada for referring me to Dr Yamamoto. Dr Wada is another fine dentist who I was fortunately referred to by a good friend Tanya who works in the office.
