Dr. Leong made me feel comfortable right away and explained everything very clearly so I could understand my options. I've been to many different dentists here on the island, but I can honestly say he's the best dentist I've seen. A lot of dentists make you feel like they only care about the money, but Dr. Leong truly listened to my concerns and took the time to make sure I felt comfortable throughout the treatment. His assistant, Trisha, was also amazing while assisting him during my procedure. The whole experience felt very reassuring and professional. Thank you to Dr. Leong and the team for making what could have been a stressful visit such a comfortable one.

And when I tried to reschedule they did everything to not schedule me in, first they tried pushing me 2 months out hoping I'd just say no, but when I accepted to their surprise, they quickly changed doctors to some other doctor I don't even know, then when I asked for Dr Ho, suddenly he became unavailable... it's just too obvious come on now.. On my first visit Dr Ho didn't even greet me or just say Hi. I was a business owner for 12 years and that's definitely not how I treated my clients. I'm not a number, I'm a human being who is reaching out to get help from a doctor who apparently won't even talk to you if you don't have your X rays done.. what is this a military boot camp come on? Saying hello only takes less than a minute and if it's not in your heart to give another human being just 1 minute of your time then I definitely think you shouldn't be working on my teeth. I feel this office prioritizes money & time over wanting to genuinely help people. So much for this referral, congratulations on you being the best dentist in town I'll look elsewhere.

The office is small, quiet, clean. The front desk person has always been fantastic: friendly, engaged, and helpful.

Dr. Takenishi is super personable. He's efficient while also providing entertaining conversation. I leave feeling good about the care I've received and my plan for keeping my teeth.

They were also great at explaining everything and making sure I understood the plan and what they would be doing next. I really appreciated how caring, professional, and patient everyone was. What makes this place even more special is that they truly feel like a family dentist. My granddaughter and several members of our family have been coming here, including her mom and dad, and now me! It says a lot when an entire family continues to trust the same dental office with their care. I would wholeheartedly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a place where you are treated with kindness, patience, and genuine care. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel welcome and comfortable. I'm so grateful to have found a dentist that my family and I can truly trust. Thank you to everyone at the office for being so kind, patient, and caring. Thank you for making me feel comfortable when I was nervous and for taking such good care of me.

I went to another dentist in 2022 and they tried to schedule me to replace all my fillings I've had since I was a kid. I didn't do it and in 2025 I started feeling sensitivity in one of my fillings I've had for over 20 years. I thought it was coming loose. I went to get it checked out here - they scheduled me same day and he said honestly that it looks good and did not recommend I replace it. Was very kind and reassuring. Does not try to make money off of you. I came in thinking I needed to spend a lot of money because I don't have insurance and left spending a lot less than I thought I would.

So the fact that I'm here to leave a positive review for Waialae Dental Care surprises even me. Prior to an appointment: You'll get a text message or email as a reminder. Honestly, that helps me a bunch because there's been a few times where I would've completely missed an appointment without those reminders. Parking: Although there's limited stalls, even on a busy day, I've never had to circle the block to be able to park for an appointment. That tells me plenty of how efficient the staff are when scheduling clients. Front of the office staff: They're the most welcoming when it comes to customer service. They're also your biggest supporters and advocates for people who take the time to take care of themselves. All of it is done with aloha! If you're in need of a treatment plan, not only do they give you a full breakdown of what's needed along with the estimated cost but they'll also give you finance options to assist should you need it. There's never any pressure. The Dentists and their support staff: All around the staff is just amazing. No one does anything without checking in on you and your concerns. The patient rooms are somewhat small but they've done great with adding TVs and portraits to keep the mind focused on something else. At the end of the appointment: You'll get to sit with the frontline staff and they always check and see how you're feeling and provide you with next steps (as needed) or let you know how far out you should plan for a cleaning. In all, you can't go wrong with choosing Waialae Dental Care. Good parking, staff that feels more like extended family, and care that eases the mind with their attention to not only the details but also to you specifically.

There is no consistent doctor/dentist. The hygienists barely touch your teeth. You never get the…read moresame staff once because its just a corporate company. There is no continuity of care and they will tell you you have a cavity or a crown that needs repair. Instead of providing alternative options like a good dentist (like using dental bonding or sealant for temporary sensitivity) they will just want to rip out your teeth and profit as much. Dentists here are incentivized to do more costly procedures at patient's expense.  I thought it was fine just going here for cleanings d/t convenience but it's not worth it. They will charge for the exam and xrays and when you need to go to a REAL dentist, insurance wont cover. So don't even start here. Go to a private family practice that actually cares about patients. You're not treated as a person here. My dog is treated better at the vet.
