So I inquired with his cocky receptionist who informed me that the blood test results was sitting in his inbox and I asked her if he read it and she said NO. She also relayed to him that she didn't want me to call anymore which caused Dr. Nakayama to release me because SHE didn't want to talk to me anymore. What right did this receptionist/secretary have to say this? She apparently came from another office and was extremely incompetent in doing her job. Dr. Nakayama MISDIAGNOSED me saying I had SLE and after 23/24 years if being treated by him then told me HE THINKS I have Sjogrens.. Dr. Nakayama is extremely inefficient in doing his job. Run away from him if you are referred to him. Find another rheumatologist who really cares about his or her patients. Not some lolo like him.

I came back from Japan after a 3-yr absence in Hawaii and my cholesterol chalked in at a 296 and weighed in at 220 lbs (my height is 5'7). At that time I was lectured and I asked him to prescribe me medication to bring that number down but he told me "No. I want you to do it the hard way by diet and exercise because you are capable of doing that." I just had my annual physical the day after Thanksgiving and got my results from Dr. Marsh. My cholesterol dropped to 186 and I weighed in at 161 lbs (I refused to eat pumpkin pie the nite before!!!). In my 20 years w/ Dr. Marsh, he is such a friendly and caring person. His office is very busy and many times i have to wait patiently but I don't mind. He never gave up on me during the 20 years to bring my cholesterol and weight down so waiting 30-40 mins is not an issue at all.

Before that, I did have Dr. Curtis as my main PCP, but as I got older, just felt it would be more appropriate and comfortable for me to see a female. Thru seeing Dr. Krishanna the past year+, I can say that she is exemplary about being thorough, allowing you to ask all questions, and is even a certified gyno = double win for me not having to see multiple docs (I do everything in a single visit)!! My mom also decided to reestablish this as her PCP office, but now Dr. Krishanna as her main PCP, even though she now lives on the Big Island. She has wonderful bedside manner, and does very extensive testing on you to make sure everything is in order. Each year I do a blood exam to check my levels and if something's off - like my Vitamin D, she'll add it to my repertoire. My mom also has hyperthyroid and Krishanna took great care to check all her meds, bloodwork, and other testing measures, etc to prescribe new supplements. Even my husband and a few friends now see this office - and ALL have raved about how great their care is, along with be extensive and holistic - not just looking at symptoms, but treating the whole body and looking for more natural options first. I've probably referred a total of 3 folks now (with more friends still waiting to get in), and they are all VERY happy with their care. Cant speak to Dr. Curtis as he's not my main PCP anymore (used to be about 10 years ago - and had no issues!) - but my husband sees him and had nothing but positive things to say. I can certainly say that Dr. Krishanna, however, goes above and beyond to make you feel like more than a number and explains and takes a lot of time during your visit. 10/10!!!

I've got an old neck/shoulder injury that has flared up, making the last week of my life relatively unpleasant. I learned that it's impossible to get insurance to pay for physical therapy without a referral from a GP, and almost everyone I called didn't have appointment for at least four weeks. Enter Dr. Nakamura and his awesome staff. They saw me the same day I called (which is almost unheard of), and I was given the most complete exam I've ever gotten. He actually heard the things I was telling him, and gave me very honest answers to some slightly odd/neurotic questions. I got my referral to a PT, as well as a tetanus booster. (If my neck and arm are going to hurt, it may as well be all at one time, right?) A giant mahalo to everyone in the office there, for such a great experience.

After 3 weeks of back and forth phone calls with his office I was turned away. His office worker Mimi was confused , rude and unprofessional and would not give me an appointment. No compassion or empathy from her at all ! Mimi was a bully and talked over me many times repeating herself. After all of this Mimi told me that Dr Obana looked at my MRI and said that my condition was not his specialty and he could not really help me. It would have been more valid to hear that from Dr Obana ! If this was really true I have the feeling Dr Obana would have called me and referred me to a doctor that would help me ! That would have been the honorable and professional thing to do. Dr Obana's bio says that his specialty is cervical and lumbar spinal surgery with 38 years of experience ! I don't believe what his office worker Mimi had to say. Unfortunately I never got the opportunity to speak with the doctor. I was basically denied that by the office staff !
