My doctor or PCP allowed her assistant to give me the wrong vaccination in April. It gets worse! I was never notified in any way. Not by phone, text, email or in the Athena portal. I found out when I called my PCP to ask for the second injection in this series of three.By the way her assistant was not fired. I do like my PCP but I cannot trust her staff. read more

Dr Louie Gangcuangco and Kristal are always very accommodating. Dr Louie has excellent bedside manners. I highly recommend this place.

Dr Louie is awesome. He did exactly what i needed and listened to me. I really like him as my new Doctor. Very satisfied as someone who hates going to Doctors. Happy Happy. And it was quick and easy. Front desk staff were very nice too. read more

This is a real low end place. The staff is gossipy, uneducated, and unprofessional. The pharmacy department is frequently, unable to do simple things like refill a prescription. Generally, the whole place is held to a very low standard and there is no accountability for all of the mistakes. read more

I was going to try sign up for a same day appointment this past Thursday, would've paid out of pocket. As I'm unfamiliar with them, I called ahead to see if they could do same day, since that's recommended on their website. Apparently the website's hours are wrong as well, it's not 6:00am-9:00pm, it's 08:00am-6:00pm. Last I spoke with a rep, she said call back Friday at 08:00am. I called and the machine said they were closed. Nice going. I believe God always has a way of showing what's meant to be in your life or not. read more

I have been a patient here for the last 5 years. This place for the most part is fine, if you just need basic service, checkups, etc.... however, if you actually need serious medical attention, this is the last place you want to be affiliated with. I am a patient of Dr. Joycelyn. I have been to see her 3-4 times over several months just to get a CT scan or Ultrasound for severe pain in my lower back and abdomen. Not once did she do palpatations, or seem too concerned on helping physically in any meaningful way. She just asked the basic questions then, poof, gone, no follow up. 2 weeks ago I had my physical therapist send them letter to be sent to orthopedic surgeon. I haven't gotten any answer from them. Their call lines are always 5-10 people long, yet you walk into the office and the desk attendants are just sitting there. Out of state call office or something silly. Anyways, I feel bad for the older Ohana who can't speak up for themselves when they have problems cause this place has NO PERSONEL TOUCH YOU NEED TO FIGHT FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. This is the 4th time I am here and they have made we wait over an hour in the waiting room just to know if they sent a letter in read more

I had a doctors appointment today with a specialist and I asked if i coukd come in instead of Telehealth and they said no. 5 minutes before my appointment they changed it to coming in and never told me. now they are refusing me service and still probably billing my insuranc. insurance fraud at its finest. read more

I will" preface this by saying I so have some bias. I worked for WHC for about a year when I first worked here. I enjoyed my time with The Center professionally, but this review is how I view them as a patient. Waikiki Health is a wonderful organization and a Honolulu is blessed to have them in our community. Waikiki has been my Medical Home for many years. I've had several primary care doctors, also get vision, audiology and dental services all under one roof. They do a wonderful job caring for my health, working with specialists and providing medical guidance. The staff is kind, knowledgeable and professional. I trust Waikiki Health. It was a blessing to have them steer us through the Covid mess, expertly and without drama. I want to share one story as an example. A family member was having difficulty hearing after a recent swim and was worried...they told me they were hoping I could help them find a provider to see that day. In today's medical environment, that's a tall order. I called WHC and they were able to see her the same morning, they called it a "walk in", but gave me an actual appointment. We were cheerfully greeted by the front desk and they were called back right on time. The provider was able to diagnosis and treat the problem that very morning. Everyone was so nice. I'm very pleased to have a comprehensive medical center I can trust with my health and the health of my loved ones. A+ read more

Po, the secretary at this place could care less about your wellbeing. She was rude, she didn't seem to care if I was seen or not. Once I told her how unprofessional she was being, she then tried changed her attitude. The reviews I've read on here, are definitely in line with how I was treated. I discourage you going here. read more

He listens, palpitates areas of concern on the body and mind, at the same time maintaining professional. He is a "get to know you" doctor. Be honest always to get the help you need. We differ in opinion and that is good for a healthy debate. I say Vicoprofen & he says ibuprofen. I believe we know or bodies the best, yet he has the final description. I only wish records would be requested for proof of medication therapy allowing Joe to prescribe the correct dose. Overall, he is great at what he does and by 2nd visit, he is likeable. After a few visits, you may not accept any alternative. Timothy Crenshaw read more

Waikiki Health Is one of the best medical facilities on Oahu! Dr. K is an amazing physician, which is why he has been our physician for the past several years! The medical staff is great and takes great care of you during the visits! read more

Waikiki Health - Check up - Medical Centers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It is sad we must go there for help, I am looking into more options, After years of getting my meds right, My PAC is using poor judgement and I am back to an anxiolytic state. He is weening me off the meds that it took years to get just right. It is truly sad when you need the same care as you received on the mainland and that help which saved your life is removed. Clonazepam, 28 years of therapy with it gone. The PAC? Joe. does not even have the intellect to have a consult with my previous doctors who saw my progress, I raised a child from day one alone and continue to care for him as an adult. Both my son has schizo affective disorder, so what was somewhat easier prior to med discontinuation for me, the caregiver, it is taking a costly toll on our family, They have not treated my partner for his schizophrenia nor evaluated him for his progress, His progress is, he was hospitalized for suicidal ideation a few days ago and is now missing. It is a difficult situation, not as many choices here. Aloha? I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt because there are excellent PAC's there that go unrecognized. Donna is one staff member that under the worst of circumstances keeps her professionalism and smile. Donna also does not show outward sings of judgement thus encouraging many to gravitate to her and avoid other office workers per my observation. This state has a lot to offer, healthcare is questionable at the very best. New developments: no longer have a partner nor know why or where hr went. That caused undue stress and Dr Vicki Anne Samuel in Miami Gardens would be the one for me to sign a release as she and I had this very serious adult decision to remain on 2mg T.I.D. As for one, I am a college educated 54 year old man and yes the is both dependency and I have a diagnosis of severe anxiety along with panic attacks that began when I was 18. Since being on Clonazepam, no hint of anxiety, insomnia, or withdrawal until quickly brought down from 6mg away to Joe Walsh's intention of a final toll on my health when I am in his words "off this medication."Therefore, yes.... I need to be on a level 4mg per day as the onset of Clonazepam withdrawal syndrome has begun. Google it, it is hell on earth and I experienced 3 periods that were shorter than 30 days except when I was without money years ago and could not afford a doctor, I suffered for months secluded in my Naples, FL apartment, pure fight or flight internally, continuously until I secured a job and instant insurance in one day. The syndrome is real and it is life altering. Anyone can form an opinion about someone and and it be incorrect. We all are human and humanity is often forgotten. read more

This place knows no race, age, background, income. They treat everyone with respect and give great care. I really appreciate the providers I have had here. They are skilled and knowledgeable, and most importantly, they are so respectful. I really love Waikiki Health. read more

Excellent medical staff under the dedicated and revered Dr Elliott Kalauawa. The simple lobby serving a spectrum of indigent to privately insured clients belies the pristine 2nd floor exam rooms and other facilities. Prompt and friendly care to all patients regardless of ability to pay. Convenient parking lot for patients on a quiet street. This is a center for the malama spirit of Hawaii. read more

Briefly stopped in to bring a friend in to pick up her prescriptions. She mentioned facilities were recently renovated. Parking is available in a gated lot to da right of da building (also shares parking with da Waikiki Community Center). Regardless of if you have insurance or not, they will provide medical care to you, regardless of your income. If you no have one job, they have a "sliding scale" that charges you based on your savings/income/wateva money you get (whatever it may be). They accept QUEST patients, those with other insurances, and recently opened their own pharmacy so they can dispense medicines on-site. REVIEW #186 read more

Just wish to express my continued gratitude for the kindness and efficiency of the staff at Waikiki Health Center at Ohua. The outside staff, the front desk, and the medical assistants treat me with respect and professionalism. Mostly, I wish to say Mahalo to Jamie Tamayose for saving from myself. Truly. read more

About the behavior of one of the Waikiki Health Center nutritionist, Yukiko Hunt. Since I have been going to her I have been battling depression, due to her harassment and behavior. She has set up a gift system where she pressures patients give a gift to her on each appointment. If she deems the gift as not "worthy" she acts negative and insults me and ignores me throughout the whole appointment. On several occasions I have given her precious gifts, which is sometimes more than I can afford. During these visits she has been empathetic, attentive, and happy. She even started gossiping (negatively) about her co-workers at the clinic. Is this kind of behavior tolerated in the Waikiki Health Center? read more

The staff is very friendly and they do there job with a smile. Scheduling to get in is easy and convenient. Jamie Pa is very caring and through. She answers all your questions and will explain and email you to follow up.. I would highly recommend WHC. read more

These are some of the most incompetent medical "professionals" I've ever encountered. Joseph R. Walsh is an absolute moron that couldn't make an accurate diagnosis if his life depended on it. And, if you call him out on it, he'll lie to cover it up. In fact, these people are so incompetent, I'm literally in the emergency room now getting life threatening surgery to correct what Joseph R. Walsh was too stupid to figure out. This isn't the first time either. Another moronic "doctor" from Waikiki "Health" put me in the emergency with a improperly prescribed medication, only after misdiagnosing a staph infection as parasitic delusions. Or, in other words, these people are soooo stupid, one has to wonder who ties these idiots' shoes. There is no managing physician on-site either, but they'll definitely lie about it to cover up this fact when you request to speak to one. So, if you know what's best for yourself, avoid these clowns at all costs. The stupid is definitely strong here and their incompetence will only make things worse. Go somewhere else, or you will regret it. In fact, these idiots need to clean house and start over. This isn't over either. I will be seeking legal representation. So, buckle up, moron! Your license is mine! You will not harm anyone else ever again. read more

I see Dr. Hiram Young MD At Waikiki Health. I am 38 years old and have some health conditions that need constant monitoring. Dr. Young is by far one of the best positions I have ever had. He is so considerate, attentive, helpful, educated, and genuinely truly really cares about his patients' well being. I'm so grateful to have him as my primary care physician. I've never felt better! read more

Waikiki Health is one of the few places still doing rapid HIV and STI testing during this LOCKDOWN! Phew. So glad. (people still need other kinds of health tests right?) Gender friendly environment, safe, clean and hassle free. I was even seen when the last appointment was already gone because they knew I came in from Ewa Beach! They have Prep here if you need it. That is real public health at its best! read more

Yuki Hunt. Nutritionist. Elderly (65 years old?). Obesity (beer belly). Yawn frequently.Farting. Picking nose. Aging odor. Stubborn. Self-centered. She always requests a bribe. It's terrible counseling. I gained weight following her nutrition plan. I lost weight when I changed to another nutritionist. It was terrible experience. read more

Ohua clinic ? Please don't make me laugh , Waikiki health Ohua is the worst clinic I have ever been. they are rude and just extremely so into themselves. Customer care sucks and they do not respect privacy amongst each other. They absolutely do not care to help any patients they could care less for those unfortunate people. And this is the reason why we have these types of clinics, and ohua clinic Waikiki health. You can tell how a manager works , through her employees. She a shady bitch that throws accusations like a ping pong ball. With no remorse. I think her name is Malia Cummings . Be careful dealing with that cunning woman . She know how to cheat a system and her boss will protect her from what ever .. you know who you are !!! Two faced people. I witnessed this older gentleman trying to use a restroom but is unable to use the upstairs, the manager simply did not care she asked him if he had an appointment, obviously he did or he wouldn't have been in the building. It is the worst customer care ..... no wonder they have people that go there don't act decent. And that is why they are more outburst from patients more than any other clinic I have seen. Don't get me wrong the doctors are great . It's the dealing with the people that check you In is the biggest problem they have . I hope someone hears this cry and make some changes or the place going down read more

I relocated to Honolulu in 2011 and of course was in need of a internist. It just so happened that in only 10 days on island I was able to tumble down a flight of stairs and thought I had broken a bone. A trusted friend referred me to WAIKIKI HEALTH, wow what a blessing in disguise. As a man, I thought it was important to work with a male doctor but have since learned that because a woman does not know a man's body as well as a man and therefore studies it much more to learn about it. My experience with one of their Physician Assistants convince me that was the way to go. Her thoughtful, caring, detailed exchange demonstrated the true Ohana spirit of Hawaii. If fact every staff member I interacted with made me feel welcome and showed genuine concern for my well being. Now, six years has passed and I can share with all of you that WAIKIKI HEALTH literally saved my life. I was born with a heart murmur as are 10% of American adults. Heart Disease is a silent killer because there are very few signs until it's too late. The doctor at WAIKIKI HEALTH detected it and referred me to the cardiology department at Queen's Medical Center, in my opinion is the finest hospital in the nation. I am grateful to Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV for founding the hospital in 1859 for all their people. read more

Terrible place!!!!! I was never even seen! I don't understand how this is my primary doctor though I have to wait one month for an appointment when I have a UTI. It burns really badly when I pee and they won't see me for a month???? Guess I'll waste peoples time in the ER for a non-emergency since the doctor "has no time". Thanks a lot read more

I'll admit, I was spoiled and used to military health benefits. Luckily Obama hooks me up with free health care since I'm a full time student! Sooooo since I lost my benefits, turning 23 and all :/ I had to get new health care. Waikiki Health Center was the nearest vicinity, thought I'd give it a shot. I have the choice to change my clinic, but based on my first few experiences here.. I don't think that's going to happen. They have their own parking lot, so I always find parking. It is kind of small, but I've never had a problem. There is a small wait when you get there early or on time... but when isn't there a wait?The waiting room is alright, nothing special. The staff is super dee duper friendly. I have the best doctor! She is very easy to talk to, and kinda goofy/fun in a comforting way. Whenever I have any appointments that require follow ups she calls me with results ASAP... so I never have to worry. I like the type of patient relationship she formed. The buildings itself is a little old...but you can tell they did some renovating and keep it very clean. Getting prescribed medicine was easy... they have their own pharmacy, or you can choose to go to any pharmacy near you. I feel safe and healthy with my new doctor. Very satisfied! read more

By far the worst medical "treatment" I have ever received. I paid 185$ for a 45 second visit with a doctor before she left the room to have me make an appointment with a social services worker. The doctor did not return and made no attempt to address the obvious panic attack I was having while at there office. The staff couldn't get me out of the building fast enough, not even caring enough to hear me talk about the reason for my visit. Completely ignoring someone that has come to see you for treatment sounds like malpractice to me. read more

I understand the long waits and that they have more than they can handle. I do NOT understand the lack of tact and manners in speech. I always admire and had such respect for Dr. Elliot K until he was very rude to me for no reason. Also other members of their staff. They can have terrible "bedside manners". But when you're sick even though that is the last thing you need. What can you do? read more

So, I'm just gonna cut to the chase. The woman working in the front, who goes by 'Elaine' is a huge bitch. Like with a capital 'B'. In order to get my attention (instead of you know.... Calling my name?) she decides to annoyingly tap on the glass separating her and I when I'm sitting like five feet away from her. She's very rude and doesn't smile and treats clients like garbage. I mean, I don't expect anybody to be sunshine and rainbows and shit and kiss up to me, but she doesn't even have basic manners or respect for people. Yeah, I hate people too, but for the love of Christ, pull that stick out your butt. Other than that, I had a decent experience here. Andrew (I believe that's what his name was) was very sweet and helpful and assisted my friend and I to schedule appointments the next morning. read more

This place is irresponsible, unprofessional, and dangerous. I like its mission, and I'm grateful it exists for the people who have no other choice. But literally every interaction I've had with it as an adult left me wondering how it exists, and how awful things have to get before a regulatory agency steps in. For example, 12 years ago when I was 22 I got a urinary tract infection. The physician I saw (a resident) was convinced I was a male prostitute and he refused to give me the antibiotics necessary to address this infection unless I "confessed" to being a sex worker, and spoke with a social worker about finding a way out of sex work. He went on, at length, about how "you people" expect someone else to "fix your problems. (Yes, he was a young while male with a Brahmin dialect.) 1) sex work is legitimate, socially-valuable work. 2) what I did for money as an adult was none of his business. 3) I got it from paddling in the ala wai, but he wouldn't take that "excuse." 4) I wasn't a sex worker; I sold organic produce part-time so I couldn't get actual insurance. Fun fact, the UTI turned into epididimitis and man does that hurt. It also, quite possibly, hurt my fertility. Who knows though. Then about a year later, during college, I was freaking out about everything (as college students do) and thought a bump I found on my genitals was herpes or something. So I went to the clinic to get it looked at. The front desk woman -- not even a medical professional, and without seeing it -- said "oh yeah that's herpes". Which to a young adult is devastating. A life long condition that makes you unlovable? Suicide material for a 23 year old. But was it herpes? No: it was the effects of a new detergent. Hahahaha I'm laughing just thinking about this next anecdote. During graduate school at UH Manoa I knew a guy who interned at the health center doing homeless outreach. This guy actually helped a homeless man shoot heroin. And when the needle broke, he lit the guy a cigarette and tied off his other arm. True story. The intern kept interning there even after this became widely known among the cohort and in the profession. A few years later, after grad school, I decided I wanted to get some psychotherapy. Since I had pretty good private insurance, I thought the higher reimbursements would help them. The Psychotherapist, during THE FIRST APPOINTMENT told me I had bipolar 2, and possibly schizophrenia. She then followed it up with the demand that I immediately start taking meds that I would never be able to stop She said this on the basis that I had an irregular sleep schedule (isn't full time work in the service industry fun), and bought things off of Amazon.com in order to distract me from the meaningless nature of western existence. Fun thing is, my presenting concern wasn't my mood or hearing voices. It was autism. I thought I had autism. And she had no idea how to diagnose autism in an adult. So I had to get the measures for her, and then remind her to give them to me on the follow up visit. She did give good book recommendations though. Finally, during the 2016 elections, the women at the front desk played coverage of Donald Trump non-stop. They had no shortage of awful, foul-mouthed things to say about him and the GOP. Look, I hate the guy as much as anyone with a conscience and respect for the Constitution. But loudly sharing controversial political views is not a way to make people feel safe. Not exactly Trauma Informed Care." Anyone can support Trump -- especially people with mental health problems, since literally only insane morons would vote for Trump. See, I can say that, since I'm not saying it while on the clock interacting with clients. But those women shouldn't have. Anyway, I could go on. But I've moved away and have better things to do with my time. Like receive competent care. read more

I was in the office this morning and was very disturbed by loud yelling, angry and condescending words from a male in an office. It was very uncomfortable sitting there and hearing this.

I would like to list all the things I like about Waikiki Health Center, but there might be a limitation to the amount of like comments One person can give. Dr. Kalauawa Is by far the most personable doctor I've been to. It's too bad I have to get sick and order to enjoy his association. He is knowledgeable, helpful & considerate. And as soon as I find my dictionary I will look up a few other synonyms and add them to the list I things I like. I have made him my primary care and highly recommend that you do too. read more

I first started going to Waikiki Health Center when my mom was having really bad arthritis pains. Her regular doctor spent about 5 minutes with her and basically told her she was getting old and he would give her pain medication. However, since she started seeing Dr. K, her entire life changed. He did prescribe some medications, but not pain meds, and sent her to see a physical therapist as well as Francine, the natural healer. Her arthritis is much much better. He diagnosed her diabetes as well and took very good care of her. My mom did not have insurance so it was great to get all of these services are reduced prices. I started becoming a patient myself and I see Jeanelle Ahuna PA. She is fantastic. Young, funny, and very caring about my wellbeing. She doesn't give me drugs that she knows aren't going to help just to make me shut up. She listens to what my symptoms are and instead walks me through the best options. We keep in contact between visits too through the Patient Portal. It's through the patient portal that I can schedule appointments and have direct conversations with the providers. I love that thing! You just go to it through their website. I know the health center is supposed to be to help the most vulnerable, like my mom who didn't have insurance. But after seeing what great care they gave her, I decided to make Waikiki Health my primary care providers . read more

Everything from reception (Mr. Kalani) through nurses (I apologize I didn't memorize the names of all the fantastic nurses who were helping me) to Doctor Nichole, were amazing!!! The skills the knowledge and exceptional hospitality and friendliness with respect for me as a patient. Not to mention tidiness and clean feel all throughout the clinic (credit to the custodian crew)!!... I haven't had such an experience I all my previous visits to other major clinics and hospitals! I am so glad I came here and will keep coming to Waikiki Health Clinic on Ohua St. for all my health needs. Thank you all very much!! read more

I go here once every year or so to get my physical exam. I like it because it's easy to get an appointment and the staff is very friendly. I have had one issue with them on both the visits I've had there. I think they assume most people who go there are not insured. I am insured but the insurance company is from the mainland and both times they did not try to verify my insurance before my appointment. So I had to pay the full fee and then get reimbursed by the insurance company. Luisa was really kind and helpful. read more
