12/17/2025 Happy holidays! Went a couple days ago to see Dr. Kristy for a pre-op appointment…read more She is a very sweet and patient doctor who was able to answer many of my questions about what to expect. She informed me that she would remove the joint on my third toe and try to stitch it up as best she could. Sadly removing the joint will leave my toe flapping. I was grossed out but...Hopefully it is better than a tiny blister looking bubble that doesn't subside. Guess when I go out in public I should wear covered footwear vs slippers or open sandals as needed. I was self conscious for anyone to see it especially my pedicure person. I had gone and showed both my doctor and dermatologist prior. My previous appointment Dr. Kristy suggested using a Kleenex and pressing on it... stayed the same. Last straw was when I went to the dentist, you prop your feet up. She always comments on my holiday nails and the assistant saw that bubble. Ugh. *** I am now Waiting on her front desk two ladies to get back to me with a surgery date and check in time for January 2026 since Monday. Dr. Kristy's regular surgery days are Fridays. I shared with the front desk ladies: The sooner in the month hopefully right after the New Year since need my toe to heal before the biggest trip of my entire life comes up in spring. I also met a pretty med student who entered the examining room. She introduced herself as Dr. Chun's daughter who I've seen before years ago. She said Dr. Kristy would be in shortly. Have a merry Christmas 2025

No vital signs were needed. She thanked us for our patience since we waited for a while to be seen. Dr. Chun was very patient, gentle, and thorough. We found out that he graduated from Pearl City High School and went to San Francisco for college - that's why he's a Giants' fan... he has a lot of memorabilia in the waiting room's display case! I'd recommend Dr. Chun... he has a great personality, is knowledgeable and efficient, and has a fun sense of humor!

How am I supposed to trust a new doctor to perform surgery on my foot when his office staff has…read morebeen so unprofessional and dismissive? I am a brand new patient of Dr. Byron Carrasco and have only seen him two times, and I am extremely disappointed with how the office staff has handled a billing dispute. On July 16, 2026, I was billed for two separate line items: "DUP-SCAN LXTR ART/ARTL BPGS COMPL BI STUDY" (the duplex ultrasound) for $444.33, and "NON-INVAS PHYSIOLOGIC STD EXTREMITY ART 2 LEVEL" for $149.14. I am not disputing the $444.33 ultrasound charge -- that test was performed. I am disputing the $149.14 physiologic study charge. To my knowledge, no blood pressure cuff was ever applied to me -- only the ultrasound wand was used, and the entire visit lasted about 15 minutes. This test is specifically defined by cuff-based pressure measurements, which did not happen. I called the billing department first, who told me they're a separate company and have no say over the doctor's charges -- I'd need to contact the office directly and ask for "Armi." I called and left a message on August 27th at 11:17 AM, and again on August 28th at 9:39 AM, with no callback either time. I sent a detailed written dispute through MyChart on August 30th, explaining exactly why I believed the charge was wrong, and got no response. I followed up again on MyChart on September 1st. Still nothing. On September 3rd, I called at 9:06 AM and left another message asking for Armi to call me back. I called again at 11:40 AM and reached a live person, who told me -- relaying a message from Armi -- that both charges were for the ultrasound. I tried to explain that the second procedure was never performed and should not have been billed to me. That's also not accurate; my own Medicare claim records show "DUP-SCAN LXTR ART/ARTL BPGS COMPL BI STUDY" and "NON-INVAS PHYSIOLOGIC STD EXTREMITY ART 2 LEVEL" as two completely separate, separately priced charges. I called back afterward and told her this was going to make my September 10th follow-up appointment very difficult -- that appointment is for my ultrasound and MRI results, to discuss surgically removing a tumor from my foot, and instead of being able to focus on that with my doctor, I'll have to spend it dealing with a billing dispute his own staff wouldn't resolve. I'm supposed to be able to trust my doctor going into surgery, but instead I've spent two weeks fighting his office over a bill. That's when she hung up on me. I understand billing questions happen, but two weeks of unanswered calls and messages, plus being hung up on by office staff after I explained how much stress this was adding to a serious upcoming medical appointment, is not how any patient should be treated. When does a doctor's office hang up on a patient over a billing question? I have my appointment on September 10th and intend to raise this directly with Dr. Carrasco, but I wanted to share my experience for anyone else considering this office. Julie Panui Update (9/3/26): Minutes after I posted this review, and after posting a message directly to Dr. Carrasco through MyChart, I finally got a callback from Armi. She asked what I needed, which was surprising given the number of detailed messages I'd already left explaining the exact charge in question. I explained again: the $149.14 physiologic study charge, which I don't believe was performed. She was unable to pull up my bill -- she said she doesn't have access to it -- but told me I could bring it with me and speak to the doctor directly at my September 10th appointment. I confirmed I would. I asked her directly: does staff have nothing to do with billing? She confirmed -- she said billing is done entirely by the doctor himself. I told her I've left Dr. Carrasco several MyChart messages myself, and he has never responded. If he's the one who entered these charges, I'd like to understand why, and I don't think I should have to wait until September 10th -- the same appointment where I'm getting my ultrasound and MRI results -- to get an answer about my bill. When I asked why they suddenly called back now, after all my prior messages, she said they're short-staffed. Two and a half weeks, and the first real response only came right after this review went up. Julie Panui

They have been at the current location for approximately 1 year according to the doctor(?) I saw. I'm not sure where they were prior. They are active on Facebook and Instagram, though. And there are a few (4 to be exact) reviews on Google. REFERRAL & SCHEDULING: I was referred to North Shore Prosthetics & Orthotics by my doctor to get fitted for some personalized insoles. I called their office immediately after my referral and was able to get an appointment scheduled. It was an easy process. Since my appointment was scheduled for a Monday, I received a call the Friday prior reminding me of my upcoming appointment. The receptionist who called sounded pleasant. APPOINTMENT DAY: The office was fairly easy to find. It is located in Pearl City, just off Kamehameha Highway (right before Neal S. Blaisdell Park). The office is well marked; there is a big sign outside that is easily visible from the road. The parking lot is shared by a few other businesses and is small with limited parking spots. Parking is free, though. Upon entering the door, the receptionist desk is right there and is shared by the waiting area with a few chairs. There are also are few displays of prosthetics, assumingly of the products they provide. The waiting area gave me the impression that they recently moved into that building and are still adjusting. It was decorated but basic! When I walked in, the receptionist was speaking with someone who I assume was one of the doctors but, she acknowledged me and told be that she would be with me shortly. Someone else walked in after me and she acknowledged them as well. When the receptionist was done, she called me to the desk and checked me in for my appointment. She asked me a few questions, verified my information, made a copy of my identification card, and also made a copy of the presentation from my doctor. COVID PROTOCOLS: Pre-appointment call: The receptionist called and asked about travel and covid-related symptoms. AT APPOINTMENT CHECK-IN: - masks are required by employees and patients - temperature checked by receptionist (I was already sitting/waiting in the waiting area for at least 5 minutes prior to my temperature being checked) - receptionist wore gloves prior to taking documents - hand sanitizer available at receptionist desk Not too long after I checked in, Greg came to the front and called me back. We walked the short distance back to his office. The office was bare. It had a basic desk and chair where Greg sat. He used a laptop to conduct additional administrative actions (not a desktop to suggest permanency). Under the desk were a few boxes, one of which he used later to make a mold of my feet. Adjacent to his desk were two chairs, one of which I sat in. Both set of chairs were close enough so he could examine my feet. There was another small desk in the corner with gloves and hand sanitizer.  There were small particles on the ground that I thought needed cleaning however, after doing my mold, I realized the particles were from the foam materials used to make the mold. Greg put on gloves prior to examining my feet. Once he was done he discarded the gloves and sanitized. He informed me that the insoles would be ready in approximately 2 weeks and asked me to make a follow up appointment on my way out, which I did. My appointment was fairly simple and quick. Overall, I have no qualms about my first experience with North Shore Prosthetics & Orthotics.

It was kinda cute but didn't go away. It reminded me of that small kid time thing a ma jig tube you squeeze and roll a tiny jelly like ball onto a straw and blow. What we did as kids. Thank goodness it didn't smell like that product. Dr. Kristy told me on the first visit it's coming from the first joint on that toe so place a Kleenex on it and press. It didn't break and remained. So I made another appointment since it started to hurt when I pressed on it plus majorly not attractive. Long story short she advised me that she'd cut, spread it open, take out the joint and remove the bump which one day popped on its own without healing. 1/9/26 Went into surgery with Dr. Kristy and a fantastic team at Pali Momi. Five days later on 1/14/26 went in for a follow up. Was curious to see what the little toesy would look like...I imagined the worst so at the unveiling I was SO majorly pleased that the toe didn't flop without the first joint and wasn't badly discolored or bruised. Dr. Kristy explained it all depends on the healing process it could still flap- hideous! I'll do my best to heal well and come back on 1/22/26 to remove the stitches then go get a vibrant red colored pedicure with bling pronto to celebrate. Thank you Dr. Kristy, nurse Anna and front desk staff. Crossing my fingers that all ends well.
