Taken at the dental office
Dione P.

Dr. Alan Sato has been my children primary dentist from the beginning from Maui to Oahu. Now my grandchildren goes to him too. It's so cool to have the same dentist when our families lives both on Maui and Oahu.

not even a 1 star but i needed to select a star to post a review!!! to say i am beyond livid is an understatement! the most unprofessional dentist office i have ever come into contact with! on august 24, i applied for a "dental front office receptionist (full time)" position for pedodontic associates inc. pearlridge on indeed. august 27, i received an email (as shown) communicating with the manager, cheryl chu, in regards to setting up/confirming an interview time. as you can see, i was highly interested in this position and made sure i was in close contact with the employer. we both agreed that the interview would be: 08/31/2020 @ 09:45am! today, august 31, 2020- i woke up very early to prepare myself for this interview! i have a 5 month old baby boy and an other half who was able to request a later start time with his job, come with me to my interview. (mind you- we only have one car with an ac compressor that is under repair- which means we have no cool air blowing out of our ac.) we arrive at the dentist office at about 09:15am this morning (30 minutes before my interview time!). due to covid they have all patients call when they arrive and wait in their vehicles til the doctor is ready to see them. 09:17am- i call the office and am assisted by a receptionist named jamie. she kindly tells me, "okay dezha, i'll let cheryl know you're here." she goes over the covid process, tells me to wait in my vehicle til she calls. (and we do as follows.) over half an hour later- 47 minutes later to be exact! i still receive no word! not even a courtesy call to let me know that cheryl chu is still with a client. nothing! my other half had to take my son out of our car, strip him of his clothes and walk with him outside because he was fussy and sweating! 10:04am- i call them (they didnt not call me! i called them) and of course, jamie answers! i ask her if anyone tried to call me within the past 47 minutes of my wait time. she asks me "oh, did you have a miss call?" i said no. i've been waiting and i'm following up! she said "oh.. sorry.. i forgot to mention cheryl has multiple interviews going on right now." are you serious? so why do you schedule an interview @9:45 knowing damn well its overlapping your schedule and/or did you not think to give a courtesy call and inform me earlier? desmond, baby and i waited til 10:20am and that's when i lost my sh*t. a car pulls up & a female dressed "interview ready" walks in right pass us!!! can you imagine how pissed off i was that i waited about an hour, with no courtesy call, with my poor 5 month old crying, just to be bypassed by another "interviewee"???? i couldn't stand seeing my son like this any longer so we went home!! 10:45am- *still no call* i call the office again, jamie answers and i ask to speak to a manager. she puts me on hold..... 10:47/50am- i call the office again, this time she does not say her name. she asks what do i want, i ask to speak to a manager. so she transfers me again. finally cheryl answers, with a giggly voice. she asks for my info & i immediately go off- i tell her its damn well over an hour almost 2 hours- and as im going off she tells me "jamie didnt let me know!" i just dont understand!! obviously cheryl, you need to recheck your whole entire "reception" team!!! i know covid is kicking everyone in the a*s rn and there are rules to abide by but you do not do this to someone!!!!! i will not bend over backwards for a damn company who cant even comply with a scheduled interview time!! idc if im in need of a damn job! i damn well almost threw a damn rock and shattered their damn windows!! this is very unprofessional and i will not put my sons life on the line for an ungrateful ass company/employer who disrespects my time!!!! if you tell me 9:45 im loyal to that time! i damn well waited over 2 hours!! fkn ridiculous!!

They always comment...wow, that's a lot of teeth! This last visit was upsetting. After my exam the dentist complained about my teeth not having space and I might have to pull one even if they don't bother me. I questioned why do I have to pull my teeth? The dentist then gave me a long stare and said because it's hard to clean. I've heard the rumors of people not wanting to go to the dentist and having FEAR of going . I need to find me a more professional dentist that cares about my teeth not just money. I would not suggest this dental practice

While not my first time here, it was my first experience with the new doctor. Everything went by…read morefast and smoothly, however when I felt like something was wrong or off, I was dismissed or they did it their way instead of really fixing it. I dont really give out reviews unless I find it necessary. That said, I only do so when it's bad service. When I told them it felt off, the doctor fixed it on the OPPOSITE side of where I told them, which wouldn't be a problem, but when they fixed it on the right side, it added up so ultimately it still had the same issue. Not only that, the person who was taking care of me [i didn't get her name] pinched my lip pretty hard between the braces wire and the brackets. When I reacted the first time, it hurt pretty bad. I was still a little worried when she did it again, because she pinched it a few times and it stung a bit while she put it on, I flinched. She seemed kind of annoyed at that. I felt uncared for and like they didn't care about my comfort and needs. Now I look at it, it's really uncomfortable to "rest" my mouth to look normal, and when I actually rest it the "build up" is what they called it, forces my mouth to look crooked due to uneven amounts on each side. It's slightly unclear in the photos, but it's more clear if I had gotten them from the same angle. Other than that normally it's better service, so hopefully it'll get better again with time with this new doctor, but I'm not a fan of it so far.

Awesome service always! My dtr & I have been coming here for about a year now. We have No…read morecomplaints!

Although, she said it was the worst thing that happened to her (she swears she won't eat any candy, lol) she said Dr. Paul was really nice, explained every step and was very friendly. After the appt, Dr. Seo always comes out to talk to me to let me know how it went and if anything new needs to be done. Very personable and smiley, great for kids. Most kids hate going to the dentist but my daughter is never scared when I tell her we have an appt. with Dr.Paul, which is a good sign if you ask me. My daughter wanted me to add that she really likes Dr. Paul and he is nice. Plus she loves the treat at the end. Shirley and the rest of his staff are professional and really nice, too. The office is clean and has easy parking. It's located in the same building as the Vet clinic and across of cattle company in Waimalu. They have Saturday appts, Yay! I did see that someone wrote about the "scary book" about the different restraints that Dr. Seo may use. Just wanted to say that Dr. Seo has never used any of those things on her. And if you think about it, parents do create more anxiety if they were in the room and the restraints are only for the protection of the child and at least you know about it upfront versus after the appointment. It's not a surprise. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist, Dr. Seo is great!

And yes, I know most my age wouldn't be with their pediatric dentist for this long but I've never found a reason to change dentists. These professionals exert kindness, respect, and attentiveness every time I set foot in the office. I love that they converse with me in a way that it not only patient-friendly but also family friendly! Dr. Seo has always been very personable. My younger self was known to be quite timid, and Dr. Seo and Shirley always reminded me of those times. But they've said that that isn't the case now! I think I've grown a connection with them for so long that being with them is very natural and comforting so making conversation is always with an ease. If you want to bring your family members to a place that will always treat them like family, this dentistry fit that need. :)
