From my mom, sister, and dad to my friend--and most recently, my husband--Dr. Grief performed their cancer removal surgeries with incredible skill and precision.

After being diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer at age 46, I chose to undergo a double…read moremastectomy with reconstruction. Between 2017 and 2019, I had expander surgery and two revision procedures. Unfortunately, despite multiple surgeries, I was deeply unhappy with the results. Following my last revision in 2019, I met with my surgeon to discuss my concerns. After examining me, he told me, "You just need to lose weight. Then the implants will look better." I was devastated. Before my cancer diagnosis, I had always been healthy and taken great pride in my physical well-being. After enduring chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, and years of reconstruction surgeries, hearing that my concerns were simply a matter of weight was heartbreaking. The experience left me struggling with my confidence and sense of self. In late 2025, my husband encouraged me to seek a second opinion. Reluctantly, I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Christopher Tokin. From the beginning, Dr. Tokin listened to my concerns and believed he could improve my reconstruction. After three previous surgeries with disappointing results, I was skeptical but hopeful. In February 2026, Dr. Tokin performed what I can only describe as a miracle. The results exceeded every expectation I had. For the first time since my cancer journey began, I felt like I had regained a part of my old self. The reconstruction is beautiful and natural-looking--exactly what I had hoped for all along. Since then, I have lost 30 pounds and feel like I have a completely new lease on life. While the physical transformation has been incredible, the emotional impact has been even greater. Dr. Tokin restored not only my appearance, but also my confidence and quality of life. I am profoundly grateful for Dr. Tokin and often wonder if he realizes just how much he changed my life. He is one of the kindest, most compassionate, and humble physicians I have ever met. If you are struggling with the results of a breast reconstruction or wondering whether improvement is possible, I strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tokin. Even if you've been told to accept your outcome, don't give up hope. I am living proof that a skilled and caring surgeon can make all the difference.

In a little less than 2 years I have lost 80 lbs. and have maintained my goal weight without stress. I sought Dr. Ver out in the summer of 2020 because of a knee issue.

Painful Dr. ver abs her staff helped me look at eating to live. Not living to eat.

Eventually I was switched to the RNY. Best decision I ever made hands down. I can now Hike, Run, Jog, Swim, Paddle-board. I can do so much more without the use of my old inhaler. I never had knee surgery. Hello , my knees are completely healed! I thank God for putting Dr. Ver in my life. She truly cares about your whole health. Pre-pandemic, She and her patients would walk every 1st Saturday of the month in Koolina. It was really nice seeing everyone and taking story, sharing meal plans and recipes. It will be nice to start this again. If you're truly serious about a lifestyle change. That is what it is...Call Dr. Maria Ver's office located in the Pali Momi Hospital. She's the one I'd recommend hands down!

They have about 10 rotating urologists dealing with functional and anatomical issues involving the…read morekidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, testicles and penis. Noticed alot of older patients in the waiting room because we all start having urine retention problems as we age. Urologists make BANK! Take note, future MDs. As an authorized advocate on behalf of my parent, I was at some appointments with DR. JAMES NG for a BPH issue that causes urine incontinence. By the time they hit their 70s, up to 90% of males have BPH! Father was on oral meds first (2 kinds) but they weren't working. Doctor finally recommended surgery. My father tried his best to research (on his own! With his limited English and computer proficiency) all prostate surgeries currently performed and had an idea of the best ones. When he asked Dr. Ng about the different types, the doctor coldly brushed off dad's questions and did NOT educate or inform dad on his options. He simply said, "I do the TURP. I would recommend the TURP. We don't do those other ones here." The Pali Momi Urology website states "Our urologists approach each patient's care with both medical innovation and sensitivity....to achieve the best results while minimizing pain and recovery time. [Our] urologists offer a multidisciplinary, innovative approach...committed to collaborating with experts across all specialties in tailoring the most beneficial treatment..." Your urologists are NOT medically innovative and do NOT educate your patients on the most minimally invasive procedures if they're ONLY OFFERING THE TURP which is painful and does involve risk of internal bleeds!!! They are definitely NOT offering multidisciplinary practices committed to collaborating with doctors in other specialities. WHY? Because I did research on my own and asked about a minimally invasive procedure offered by interventional radiologists called a PAE. No bleeding, less recovery time, costs less than TURP procedures too. The radiology practice I chose stated they needed a referral from dad's urologist. Called Pali Momi last week for the referral, only to get a follow-up call today stating that Dr. Ng will NOT provide the referral because "he doesn't recommend it". Ofc Dr. Ng won't recommend it. Our business and our MONEY are going elsewhere! Okay, they don't do PAEs because they aren't radiology doctors. Then, I'd love to hear what other surgical procedures are offered, HoLAP, HoLEP or PVP lasers? PULs? The office is refusing to provide the referral, fine. Then I asked them to make a note on my father's file that Dr. Ng refused to provide a referral to the radiologist and does not recommend PAEs. The office will not make that note in his medical file. I have to be more involved in my family's medical care. I cannot imagine the number of kupuna who don't have involved progeny or aren't tech savvy themselves AND cannot effectively self-advocate and make informed decisions. Our healthcare system is skewed to benefit the practioners and the insurance companies while we, the patients and consumers stay ignorant. Let me end with a note: There need to be more reviews on medical practices and doctors on multiple platforms for consumers, or if you want to be more specific, patients. Medical care is a necessity and we the patients, or consumers, are very VERY poorly informed on our choices. We have barely any right of choice because there is limited information for us to make educated decisions on who to seek for health needs. I guess this will end our relationship with Dr. Ng moving forward. This is why some patients are fearful to openly criticize or critique doctors on this account - burning bridges. But we all only live one life and Quality Of Life is very important to me and to my family to have. We should always aim to seek the best treatment possible.

I was looking for a bone doctor closer to home vs driving to town. After meeting Dr.Mariya O. I plan to switch to her. She is young, pretty and so thorough. Besides an X-ray of my knee, she also approved a wrist and hip X-ray while I was down on the 2 nd floor's Imaging Department. She hails from Bulgaria and England. She is great! She answered all my questions, went over every X-ray with easy explanations. She pinpointed where the aging of arthritis has set in and what treatments I can seek at home and medically. She administered a shot to my right knee( which made the hardest contact when my left foot Went like the White Rabbit down a hole in the ground) The soft tissue is still puffy like a marshmallow. She referred me to a hand specialist which made 2 nd point of contact to break the forward, downward almost belly flop propulsion to the ground. It's a wonder the Palisades neighborhood didn't feel tremors. As for my hip X-rays I asked her what's that black section that looked like bubbles at the top left corner. She said, that's gas in your bowel. Oh my- good one. Then she asked do you have pain in your groin? No I replied then thought... that's another story. I am very happy that Dr. Michael Chun(podiatrist) referred me to that office two days after the mishap and I fortunately have met Dr. Mariya O.to take care of me. She informed me that a new office will be coming to Mililani. Keep safe, take care and stay on sidewalks. watch out for holes in uneven yards camouflaged by a grass.

To start off, this office is busy.. so don't be surprised that there will be a wait to schedule. From my perspective, I see the hold time as more of a stamp of approval for a surgeon who is well sought after. And he surely is! Dr. Healy was on my radar for 13+ years before my surgery. After 2 children and the aftermath of breastfeeding, I have always wanted to correct the remaining "two problems"... haha! Of course, having cosmetic surgery is a huge decision, due to the risk and high price tag, so being extremely picky about your surgeon is the most reasonable thing to do. Now that I've reached my one year anniversary, I can say with full confidence - I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND THIS OFFICE! My gosh... I have read reviews for other surgeons and I am so grateful for Dr. Healy and his staff for holding up their end of the bargain. Every appointment was made according to doctor's recommendations and all appointments were calmly completed by Dr. Healy himself. And I didn't even mention anything about the surgery itself!!.. Of how respectful the team was, how supportive they were THRU IT ALL, how clear and concise the process was so I had every single question answered... it was really - a great experience for me, all together! Doctor also respected the modest size I was going for and after providing pictures, he really matched me incredibly close to the exact pic I had as my #1. And they look SO NATURAL!! Dr. Healy, his lovely wife and coordinator, Jackie, the wonderful staff working the front, and the nurses in the back.. over a year later and I am still treated kindly and I couldn't be more thankful. Thank you all for helping 'mama' feel better about her body and thank you for supporting me in a huge life decision! :D
