    Dr. Wally Kojima is the best eye doctor we have been to. Would recommend him to everyone.

    Ohh, I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen & the optician Ave so very much! I'll go back for a backup pair…read moreof glasses & for my followup exams for dry eye, etc! PS I wear high index lenses, and now I also have progressives for the first time & cannot be happier!!

    If you'd asked me where we'd stop the most often on our Big Island trip, I would not have predicted…read moreEyewear Kona, but that's where we stopped the most! Following an evening of (number redacted) mai tais, my partner had a late night meeting with the hotel room door, which he had mistaken for the passageway to the bathroom. Not only were his glasses damaged, but he was seriously banged up! We saw that Eyewear Kona offered both repairs and same-day glasses with their in-house lab, so off we went to see Darcy. I was joking that she's never going to buy the old "I walked into a door" bit and would call the cops on me. She could not have been more helpful or kind, first checking the body damage in case he needed medical attention (he didn't); then getting the bent glasses as close as possible back to the original shape; and finally helping my partner find a new pair from their unique and stylish selection of frames. At the end of the same day, we were back for our new pair of glasses. A couple days later we returned for some adjustments, no problemo, and were even told that if there were further issues when we returned to the mainland, we could ship the frames back and they'd take care of them. I love the frames he selected and although I wouldn't wish the incident on him again, I'm glad it brought us to Eyewear Kona. It's like the new pair was meant to be. Thank you to Darcy and the team, and the mai tais that brought us together!

    Last year, I went to Walmart for the first time to get my annual prescription/frames and new…read moreglasses for my granddaughter. The manager at the time made it a smooth process. Unfortunately, a year later we both need repair/replacement glasses before our allotted benefits and the process didn't go as smooth The communication and policies were poor. Walmart just took over the vision department and I guess they changed a lot of policies from the previous business. Their response was we don't do that anymore to 3 requests I.e. I asked if I could pay over the phone since I lived 45 minutes away and they said no. Then I proceeded to change my granddaughters prescription as it was necessary per her doctor. They ordered it and we picked it up with no issues. When I needed to fix my damaged glasses is when they said I needed to pay for it before they could put in my order. I said ok since it was urgent that I get it repaired and they said they would let me know my portion after they submit my claim insurance. when my lenses finally came in they said they could'nt file my claim. I said u did for my granddaughters glasses and she said we ate the cost for her claim $30. This was the first I was hearing about it. After going back and fourth with them and my insurance numerous times Walmart said they couldn't help me so I had to pay the $298. If I knew this in advance I wouldn't have proceeded. THANK GOODNESS for Crystal and Cheryse from the Honolulu store who so happen to be helping the Kona location with staffing. I was getting calls from the billing department for the $30 and the guy from there was so apologetic and was trying to help me resolve my frustration and said to have my insurance call them to see what could be done. My insurance ended up calling Walmart and that's when Crystal helped with awesome customer service and heard my concerns and did something to try and resolve my inconvenience. I've been in the customer service industry for over 35 years as management and I want to commend Crystal and Cheryse for going over and beyond to help me with everything. Instead of saying they "can't" Good employees are hard to find nowadays so be lucky you have them.

    Efficient, knowledgeable, and engaging staff. All my questions were answered! It was a pleasure…read moreworking either Vanesa and others!

    I have many good things to say about Kaiser as a health plan and about the wonderful doctors and…read moresupport staff at every facility on every island I've visited. I am always immediately greeted by a smiling face and am comforted by the clean and comfortable waiting areas situated to allow for privacy and comfort. I rarely have much of a wait and the nurses and other well-trained staff and cheerfully show me to a room taking my vitals and preliminary information. My doctor arrives with little wait. This is my primary care doctor who refers me to specialists as needed and if I must go it another island they arrange air and shuttle/taxi travel. The care I receive from my doctors is phenomenal! I chose Medicare Senior Advantage Plus so medications are covered for a copay. More visits are a minimal $5-$15 copay. It's open enrollment for Medicare and I recommend Kaiser Permanente Senior Advantage Plus.

I was told to get better shoes, lose weight, it's my age... etc I went to multiple appointments trying to get help with this issue I paid over $200 in co-pays after demanding a MRI come to find out I've been living with a fractured back. Kaiser has done absolutely nothing to help me. If you're looking for a clinic that will give you a prescription for pills or a cream to make everything better this is the place. You'll be gambling with your life and be prepared to have to demand healthcare to get to your issue taken care of followed with numerous phone calls, emails, long waits for appointments, grievances and $20 co-pays.
