I get PicoSure laser treatments for hyperpigmentation with Paulina, and Botox with Dr. Foo for both aesthetic and medical needs (TMJ and migraines). Adam at the front desk is always so friendly, and I really appreciate how transparent they are with their pricing. I love their VIP plans. The membership fee essentially loads money into a wallet that accumulates until you're ready to come in, which makes budgeting for treatments really easy. Highly recommend Paulina and Dr. Foo for your anti-aging skin routine!

I saw a recurring add for "Double Chin Rescue" for $37 on Instagram. I'm getting old and can…read moreabsolutely use a little lifting, tightening and improvement to my jawline contour. These are the advertised benefits for this service. I made an appointment and paid a deposit of $17 to make the appointment. Strangely, I received numerous confirmation text messages and phone calls. Upon arrival, I was asked to fill in forms unlike those I have seen in any other doctor's office. This was my second clue that something was fishy. The forms were not written by a lawyer or anyone who knows how to write HIPAA-compliant patient intake forms. They were slanted towards marketing and threats that they had a choice as to whether or not to take me as a client; I had to prove that I needed their services. They asked for confidential health information but said they would not provide any confidentiality and could use information about me and my photos for marketing. I was wondering why a legitimate doctor would not hire or could not afford a lawyer to write these forms correctly, and would not follow the laws about patient privacy. Next, I was moved to small closet/room where I was forced to watch commercials about the services provided at this clinic. These were "conversations" with local talk-show hosts where they spoke with Dr. Oda. They repeatedly called him doctor, although it turns out that he has no medical licenses or education. After being shut in there for 15-20 minutes. He came in to talk to me. He told me that the services I wanted will cost $4000 for 4 treatments, but he was willing to give them to me for $2000. When I asked about the ad that I responded to, he told me that didn't always work the first time. But I was allowed to try it. He spent a minute attempting to explain the layers of skin and mentioning something about stem cells. He didn't really seem to understand it. He asked if I could afford the treatments. He didn't ask about health conditions or in any way appear to care about me, it was all about the money. Basically, that meeting felt like a shakedown and an up-sell to try to get me to use other services for weight loss. I was willing to consider the 4 treatments, if the first one had any results. I decided to try it. For $37 it seems like a good way to find out if it was worth making the bigger investment. For approx. 15 minutes I laid on a bed with something placed on my neck. Afterwards, I was returned to the small room and he immediately asked if I would pay $2000. I was not provided a mirror until I asked whether the treatment had any effect. He said it didn't always work and later treatments could be turned higher. Finally, he gave me a mirror and my neck was exactly the same. I explained that it did not make sense to pay $2000 for treatments that did not appear to work. He kept trying to get me to pay $2000. He said there was a different secret type of laser that only he has that he could use. At this point I almost laughed at the idea that there could be a secret laser that no other plastic surgeons or even med spas would have, that was effective, and only used and known by Dr. Oda. I asked him if he went to medical school. He said he did not. I asked him if he had any medical license in the state of Hawaii. He said he did not. I asked him if it was legal to practice medicine like this without any license. He said that the nurses are licensed and he works under their licenses. He said that he went to Palmer chiropractic school in San Jose, CA. Curious about whether this was true, I looked at the list of graduates of Palmer Chiropractic College in San Jose who work in Hawaii, Dr. Oda is not on the list. I searched the state of California database of licensed chiropractors to see if he was ever licensed there. He was not. There was one Doctor Oda who is now 75 years old and has a Los Angeles address. His license expired and was cancelled in 2012. Basically, it appears that this man is not a doctor of any sort. If he went to chiropractic school, he didn't graduate and was never licensed to practice in California. He is not licensed in Hawaii. Nurses are not supposed to have other people working under their license. They are supposed to be supervised, not supervise fake doctors. Ive read the other reviews where people get benefits from the lasers at this clinic. I am not saying that it is not possible that they work in some cases. I just find this guy and this business very sketchy. I told him that I do not trust him. And I am sharing this story so that other people do not get coerced by his hard-selling techniques to buy services at very high prices.

They probably most definitely know me more than hubs for sure. After watching a short video alone Dr. Anegawa knocked and entered. My regular doctor told me yesterday, " you'll like her, she's nice." Petite woman with short hair, glasses and a caring disposition. She doodled on a piece of paper on a clipboard how sugar affects the body, carbs only 3 times a day. I thought I can handle that but everything I had listed cereal, fruits, almond milk, ramen, and milk tea all count as carbs- I'm in trouble. Guess what? Diet pepsi is okay. I signed up for an informational session for protein supplements at Kapiolani Medical Center in a few weeks. Then I was set up for next appointment with her, also a separate day to talk to a dietician, need to go take a blood test in two months before seeing her again. I've got my work cut out for me.

I just wanted to share that I wasn't able to contact this doctor so if you're looking for a doctor in this field, you may want to keep looking elsewhere for now.

She is…read morevery personable and carefully listened to my concerns, reviewed my imaging, and asked appropriate questions. We proceeded with a PRP injection, which I learned that there was actual homework/prep work for me to do BEFORE the treatment that the hip MD didn't even tell me about! Such things like stopping NSAIDs, drinking, fasting, etc. to help make the PRP injection more successful. I would not have known this if it weren't for Dr. Ferrante. The injection went smoothly and I experienced significant pain relief. I will return to do the other hip now that I know how successful it is. I know PRP injections are expensive, but definitely worth the price (insurance doesn't pay for them thru a MD anyways). She made me feel comfortable (as comfortable as you can- these injections are sore) thru out the procedure, and increased my trust by providing me with a lot of information about what to expect before/during/after, and of course following up. Of note, when I came in for a hip follow up, she noticed I had a wrist brace on, and took initiative to inquire about this new injury and brainstormed a special taping to help offload/support the area (again, something that the orthopedic PA didn't think about) which also provided more stability/less pain for my wrist. She offered another treatment option for it if occupational therapy didn't help. I highly recommend Dr. Ferrante, she takes the time to listen, thinks outside the box, keeps you well-informed, and offers effective solutions to your health concerns.

I came in for a knee injury, and Dr. Jené Ferrante was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She took the time to really understand what was going on with my injury instead of rushing through the appointment or just treating symptoms. That alone made such a difference. I've already started to see improvement, which feels amazing, and I appreciate how she explained everything in a way that made me feel informed and empowered in my healing process. You can tell she truly cares about treating the whole person, not just the injury. The integrative approach they use really stands out, it feels modern but also supportive of your body's natural healing, which I personally value a lot. I highly recommend Hawaii Natural Medicine if you're looking for thoughtful, personalized care and real results.

I needed a change. And I needed help finding a healthy way to do it and make it a lifestyle habit…read more Chelsea to the rescue! My why: I wasn't obese, but I definitely wasn't skinny. We all WANT to lose weight, but it's another thing setting that plan into action and sticking with it. The biggest thing that set those plans into action for me was the results I got from my doctor. My a1c levels were high, and I was diagnosed as prediabetic. After seeing my father's health decline due to his Type II diabetes and eventually pass from this and other health issues, I KNEW I needed a change. I also don't have kids, and I have been diagnosed as having PCOS which would make it difficult if we did want kids. So, the PCOS and prevention of Type II diabetes were the biggest reasons for me to change for my future and my FAMILY. I reached out to Chelsea in the beginning of February. She was quick to respond and so friendly. We had a phone conversation about my goals and a little bit about what her program was about, how it worked, why she got into doing what she does, and the options I could do if I chose to have her as my health consultant. This consultation is FREE and I never felt pressure to sign up for anything. It was just honest, genuine information, and she already made me feel so comfortable talking with her. We chose a program for me based on my needs and my finances. I won't go into details, but I'll just let you guys know that she makes everything so easy to follow and really works on changing your mindset (not just your diet). She doesn't just tell you to eat this or eat that; she asks you to ask yourself, WHY do you eat the things you do. What situations have what types of effects on you, on hunger, on your stress levels? She goes so much deeper than a nutritionist would, and I honestly can say that her results for my life will last longer than ANY diet I would ever try. This is because I view food in a totally different manner now. Because of Chelsea, I have not changed my diet, I have changed my outlook and feelings of and towards food and what they mean in my life. It is a wholesome change. She doesn't just focus on food. She focuses on many things in life including food, stress, happiness, sleep, family...and much more. She has led me to the right sleep schedules, eating schedules, what to eat and drink, what supplements could help me, even what books and documentaries would interest me. Literally, she has been such a huge part of my life, even post-program. As for my results, I have lost over 20 pounds. I lost maybe 7 pounds during the time of the program with Chelsea, but I continued to lose after the program ended because my lifestyle was changed and the weight kept coming off. The 20+ pounds lost has been over the course of 3 months. I've been losing a bit more than 5lbs per month without trying hard now because of the things I learned from Chelsea. It's crazy because I don't feel like I made huge sacrifices in life, or was deprived of anything on a diet. I feel like I gained SO much knowledge, I was constantly listening to hunger and eating the right foods my body needs as fuel. I'm still using all the tools Chelsea gave to me during her program, even without realizing it because it was easy to follow and has become part of my regular lifestyle. I never met Chelsea in person, only through our FaceTime meetings, yet I always felt so comfortable talking with her. The sessions seem to go by fast, because it's like you're talking with a friend who is SUPER knowledgable about everything health related! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a change in your life and want to be happier and healthier--she definitely turned my life around.
