    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 discern 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 the recent past that had been and 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!

    So disheartened to see all the bad reviews on here. To bring some clarity, I am a female patient…read moreand recently went back to this office, after not seeing a regular doc for years (maybe like 5) and decided to see Dr. Takemoto's daughter, Krishanna. Before that, I did have Dr. Curtis as my main PCP, but as I got older, just felt it would be more appropriate and comfortable for me to see a female. Thru seeing Dr. Krishanna the past year+, I can say that she is exemplary about being thorough, allowing you to ask all questions, and is even a certified gyno = double win for me not having to see multiple docs (I do everything in a single visit)!! My mom also decided to reestablish this as her PCP office, but now Dr. Krishanna as her main PCP, even though she now lives on the Big Island. She has wonderful bedside manner, and does very extensive testing on you to make sure everything is in order. Each year I do a blood exam to check my levels and if something's off - like my Vitamin D, she'll add it to my repertoire. My mom also has hyperthyroid and Krishanna took great care to check all her meds, bloodwork, and other testing measures, etc to prescribe new supplements. Even my husband and a few friends now see this office - and ALL have raved about how great their care is, along with be extensive and holistic - not just looking at symptoms, but treating the whole body and looking for more natural options first. I've probably referred a total of 3 folks now (with more friends still waiting to get in), and they are all VERY happy with their care. Cant speak to Dr. Curtis as he's not my main PCP anymore (used to be about 10 years ago - and had no issues!) - but my husband sees him and had nothing but positive things to say. I can certainly say that Dr. Krishanna, however, goes above and beyond to make you feel like more than a number and explains and takes a lot of time during your visit. 10/10!!!
