    Been going to Dr. Okimura for about 5 years now. She is very easy to talk to, very understanding…read moreand doesn't dismiss your concerns or worries like some doctors do. You give her your symptoms and she will work with you and help you. The staff is nice and friendly too but it's definitely the doctor I find is wonderful! I highly recommend her and find that she's great to work with. If you are looking for a new and friendly family doctor I give her a 10 stars out of 5!

    I joined as a patient of Dr Okimura's through the MDVIP program. Age and a degenerative condition…read moremake me a complex patient who needs more care, an array of specialists and a PCP who can coordinate and advocate for me. Doctors like that are hard to come by nowadays. In fact, I decided to leave my last PCP when she stated her preference for two patient visits per year and the use of urgent care and the ER. She was candid about HMSA's reimbursement switch to a capitation plan as the basis for her preference. I empathize as I think this new payment system is detrimental for the patient too. So that wasn't going to work for me so I found paying the MDVIP fee a good investment. Dr Okimura has in-depth knowledge of my health issues and she is sincerely invested in finding solutions and helping me to be the best me. She is incredibly empathetic, timely responses to calls and emails and comes with well rounded knowledge. I really appreciate that she respects that I know my body and always takes my input into consideration. I highly recommend Dr Okimura!

    Edward Lam is an awesome and smart doctor. When my right underarm was in pain, I checked in the ER…read more The doctor in the ER diagnosed me with UTI but my pipi wasn't sore. I kept trying to tell the ER doctors why is my underarm sore if you say it's my UTI. Wasted my time in the ER. I called Doctor Edward Lam the next day. Told him my pain and the lump under my armpit. He knew right away what I was talking about and it wasn't even UTI. It's like he knows the pain and symptoms without even going in the office to see him. Doctor Edward Lam tries to give fast and efficient service. I really appreciate how he tries to squeeze me in for an appointment. Doctor Edward Lam is really Smart and INTELLIGENT guy.

    OK, this clinic, while not entirely a negative, did by my involvement with them create a sticky…read moresituation for me. To say the least! First of all, it is the first time I had to weaponize doing a Yelp review to get adequate, not above and beyond, but just essential care from a clinic. Ever! It makes me wonder if I did the right thing or not. I had to examine my motives and whether they were selfish or I just did what needed to be done to have the end result justify the means. So I could close a loop that kept going around and around. I had done a negative review early on for this doc when he wasn't able to get me a referral (for 3 months). I thought that is what PCP's do. He phrased the referral he did send wrong asking for a totally different kind of practitioner than who he sent it to. When it came back declined; Dr. Lam buried it. He could have sent it back rephrased properly. But, no. They just shucked it. I needed that referral to work out desperately and when I learned I had nothing I lost it on the phone with his receptionist. A meltdown is a kind way to describe it. I do apologize to Dr. Lam's staff for that. They were as helpful as they could be. So, back to the first review then. He had read it and requested I not resort to that level unless I spoke to him first. I had already removed it at that time. It took the threat of doing another Yelp review yesterday to get his office to answer a simple but important question. So there! Doc himself called me then. At that time I told him I would not do another review but after much consideration I felt I had a right to tell my side of the story. So, to close the loop with the past and be able to move to higher ground I am doing this review after all. I want to be fair as well as pay it forward to others looking for a PCP that can help with referrals. I have moved on from this clinic and the reason why is because I did need a PCP who could give me referrals to "honest & dependable practitioners" since I am not knowledgeable about who would fit my needs best. I also wanted to feel safe and don't know how to screen who it is safe to go to in our medical field in Honolulu. Dr. Lam refused to do it that way. He had said I have to bring him the data for who I wanted the referral for. That requires many hours of work I don't have time for. Point in case, I did schedule recently with somebody new. It was a referral from an old clinic I had been with for a long time who were no longer seeing patients. They recommended a lady doctor but it didn't work out. Maybe because I had stumbled upon a sinister network of medical professionals in my recent past that were spiritually predatory and had targeted me, personally. I thought because they had cleared Dr. Lam by making it difficult for me to move onto him, that not only was he safe but that he might be a "knight in shining armor" who could lead me to other "safe" healthcare providers. My lot is our lot. The predatory seek not one but many. We have to work together to protect our interests from wolves in sheep's clothing. Dr. Lam was not interested in my safety at all. He might be a good choice if you only need some basic things. I don't know him that well. I can only go by my experience with him. All in all; I am disappointed with him and wouldn't recommend this office. In response to Dr. Lam's nice list of his reasons for why he wasn't able to have results may I refer to an old saying I love. There are 2 things in life. Reasons and Results. Reasons don't count!

    If you do not want to hear the truth from a doctor who has an honest bedside manner, don't go here…read more Dr. Suh is an honest, straightforward, tell-it-like-it -is kind of doctor. I went to him with all kinds of ailments claiming age and wear & tear. He asked about my eating and drinking habits, and gave me hard advice. My problem was I'm a beer drinker. I like my beer. Because of it, I was overweight, had nerve issues, elevated BP, and high cholesterol. He said, "Quit Drinking." I said I'd cut it down to weekends. He called me on it and said unless I stop, I will not get better. I stopped, cold turkey. 6 months later, I lost 55 pounds, my numbers (BP, Cholesterol, Sugars) are all great. My feet, knees, and my elbows don't hurt as much and are getting better every day. No meds, just great hard honest advice. Dr. Suh's response, "See! If patients would listen to a doctor's advice and stick to the plan...they will get results." He told me that it was patients like me who listened who keep him doing his job! My other doctors just gave me drugs to make the pain stop.

    The best thing about Dr. Suh is that he's totally straightforward and doesn't play games. If you're…read morebeing a bit dense about your health, he'll call you out on it--just in a nicer way! He gives you those reality-check answers that make you think, 'Duh, what was I thinking? I already knew that.' It makes you realize you're paying medical bills just to have him remind you of common sense, but lo and behold, you follow his advice and it works. Dr. Suh is the real deal; he tells you exactly what you need to hear and basically says, 'Stop acting silly, you know what to do, now go do it. He is def one of those guys where after talking to him, he will pose questions where you kinda say to yourself I hate it when he's right. Braddah is good. He'll cure you from the root of the prob, your job is stop acting stupid and follow his advice. His staff is awesome. I travel so I almost always have to cancel set appointments and they have done everything to accommodate me - gah they're rockstars! Dr Suh's staff (they're all kids there - but the responsible Asians you want your children to be like) This office also introduced me to one of the best non-big box local pharmacy in the entire state: 5 Minute Pharmacy. They mail me my drugs!! I love it. And one time, they delivered a $5 bottle of pills.
