I have been going to Dr. Ridao for some time now and I have to say he's one of the few doctors that…read moreactually shows he cares about you. I told him about my horrible experience at the Kaiser Urgent Care (since nothing else was open on Monday-a holiday). I told him about how they just treated me like a number and didn't run any tests (no nose swab to test for flu, no bloodwork, etc). All the doctor did was ask some questions and told me to basically rest it out and take Over the Counter meds (which I already told him wasn't working). I really felt like he was trying to get in and out of his office. Honestly I've had much better experience at the Straub Urgent Care but my insurance doesn't cover that :( Anyways, knowing that my insurance changed from HMSA to Kaiser, he printed out coupons from Good Rx and was so apologetic about my experience at Urgent Care even though it wasn't even his fault. He properly diagnosed why I was having the type of coughing I am and gave me the right medications for it (because that's what a doctor should do). As busy as he is with flu season, he was caring and even remembers details about my life/profession. While I can't promise every person is going to have the same experience, I can say that there's a reason I've seen him for years. I won't be switching doctors until I can find someone comparable in-network. Pros: -Caring and considerate doctor -Haven't had problems making same day appointment when calling at opening (8am) -Gives great referrals to other doctors/specialists Cons: -Hours: He's only in town certain days & in Ewa Beach the others -Parking: First half hour is covered and you pay the rest. I believe it's cash only and the attendants aren't that friendly (the guy gave me a hard time about breaking the $20 that I had to take out just to pay for parking) *so it's best to have small bills/coins on you...

It was nearly seamless; I just had to quickly reconnect after having to change my browser settings to allow camera/microphone access. My questions were all addressed. His counseling including age specific treatment discussions. Appointments taken mostly on time. I strongly recommend Dr Ridao.

I first met Dr. Lam with the help of a friend's referral. She is a pharmaceutical representative…read moreand has been working with pretty much all the Doctor's all around the State of Hawaii. I've stayed with him for years because having a doctor who knows you not just by reading off doctors office charts but on a personal level is also great! He has two separate office locations. His main in Liliha just outside of downtown/chinatown and another in Wahiawa. There was only once I had to see him in Wahiawa. His office hours that one day which I can't even remember what day that was. Also what a relief to be able to see Dr. Lam during Covid pandemic when he was operating via Tele-Health. His office is not the fanciest that you'd see at the major hospitals around Honolulu. But you do receive excellent service from his administrative staff Cathleen, the RN and him as well. Scheduling an appointment during office hours is simple, and if you need immediate medical emergency, you're recommended to visit ER. I'm not sure if he's welcoming new patients. But he is bilingual in English and Cantonese. I'm grateful to have found Dr. Lam because I know I can trust him with all my health concerns. Dr. Lam has been my PCP for quite some time now, I've honestly lost track of how many years, and surprised I'm only leaving this here on Yelp. He has always provided consistent, quality, care to me every time I see him.

It's August 2021--everyone (e.g. restaurants, schools, entertainment venues, etc.) else has pretty…read moremuch opened up for business with COVID19--but NOT Dr. Lam. Dr. Lam will NOT see you in-person at his office if you just went to the hospital/ER, if you recently travelled in the past 2 weeks, etc. So, you're basically screwed if you're an individual currently working in a ER/hospital, if you're an individual currently working as a flight attendant or pilot, or if you're and individual currently working as an EMS or police officer who goes to the ER/hospital with patients because you're banned from going to Dr. Lam's office. Dr. Lam's staff will tell you that you "may have" been exposed to COVID19 when you went to the hospital/ER (exposed to COVID19 sick people at ER) so you cannot come to see Dr. Lam at his office. Dr. Lam only allows telehealth for the aforementioned. I guess hospitals/ERs are operating in such unsanitary conditions and are super spreaders of COVID19 (Where's the science, doc?!)?!!! How can Dr. Lam check your lymphs, how can Dr. Lam check your blood pressure, etc. remotely via telehealth? Maybe Dr. Lam is a magician too?! Does Dr. Lam deny in-person office visits if you're and individual living with someone who just returned to the ER/hospital? Does Dr. Lam deny in-person office visits if you're and individual who lives with a family member who just returned from traveling to Vegas? Where do you draw the line? COVID19 has brought out the worst in Dr. Lam. Can't Dr. Lam take a patient's temperature or offer a COVID19 rapid test or allow patients to bring a COVID19 rapid test result or something so they can be seen in-person at his office? I know that Dr. Lam wants to keep his other patients from getting COVID19, but his logic/exemptions take it to the next level?!!! It doesn't matter if you're vax'd. Most people go to the hospital/ER because of a health emergency. Hospital/ER doctors often discharge patients with orders to follow-up with a primary physician. It is NOT reassuring to have Dr. Lam's staff tell you that you canNOT come to the office because you just came from the hospital/ER--and you "may have" been exposed to COVID19. HEADS UP: Dr. Lam will call you hours later in the afternoon (after you call his staff first thing in the morning) and tell you that he doesn't need to see you because he can make referrals to other doctors/specialists and avoid an in-person office visit. So much for "First, do no harm..." Is the doctor shortage allowing doctors to be this selective in who gets seen? This is so inhumane and irrational.

I had to switch pcp's and my insurance recommended this doctor to me. His location is convenient…read morefor me because I live in Kapolei. It was hard for me to find at first but he's located across from Shiro's and Bank of Hawaii in Waipahu on the corner and Times Super Market is right next to it as well. He doesn't have a receptionist and his work phone is his personal phone. He's not very good at phone etiquette and answers rather abruptly. I've gotten used to that, I'm just lazy to switch pcp's already. LOL I like him as a doctor he cares and gives good advice. When I need a doctors note for school or work he doesn't give me any hassle when I come in to get checked up on. His schedule is kind of all over the place so make sure to call. His office has no bathroom. There's free parking. Appointments are recommended.

It doesn't matter if you are a longtime patient, you are just a dollar sign to him. Yes, he can be a very nice doctor, but only if you shut up so he can bill your insurance every month. I wish a state regulator would audit his patient files to see the frequency in which he drops patients.

Located on the third level of the Mary Savio Medical Plaza, Dr. Harada's Office was clean, bright, and decorated with sakura (cherry blossom) stickers! The staff were efficient and professional!
