Great Visit overall. I came in with a cracked tooth and the Dr. Motooka was very professional. Myra was also very pleasant and helpful with my oral hygiene.

Hawaii Dental Wellness is my favorite dental team on island thus far. I especially want to give a shout out to my dental hygenist Robin. They look to build genuine relationships w/ their clients & have helped me view my dental hygiene as it relates to my overall health.

In the past I have always dreaded going to the dentist, but this is not the case with HDW. Everyone there (from receptionists to assistants, to Dr. Chad himself) is always very friendly and genuine, and Dr. Chad and his assistants are always gentle with my teeth. I always leave with a solid understanding of where my teeth stand because Dr. Chad takes the time to explain the condition of my teeth and answers any questions I may have. HDW is hands down the best dental practice I've gone to, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist here in Oahu.

Dr. Kawashima's staff rocks! Lita and Sarah are totally customer service oriented and friendly. Very open and educated me about my plan. Dr. Kawashima himself is more than willing to fix what *I* want done- not what he suggests. Email and text updates are superior to any other dentist I've had ever.

Great place, amazing people, outstanding customer service!
May 17, 2016
Was pleased that I was seen right away and that a good amount of time was spent on really cleaning my teeth good. Seemed to have the latest equipment compared to my previous dentist.

Bio/Holistic dentistry in Hawaii! As a patient disabled with MCS, everyone in the office goes above and beyond. They respect all of my "allergies". Far superior to any other office in Hawaii.

My overall experience with your dental practice was excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Motooka was very welcoming and immediately made me feel comfortable. He was able to answer any questions that I had. I normally do not like going to the dentist at all, but I had such a positive experience that I do not mind returning here.

Robin is a great dental hygienist. Very professional. My teeth felt very clean after the visit.
Mar 23, 2016
I was slightly nervous at first due to some Mercury issues that I need to address. But, Dr. Chad's warm & patient manner calmed me and me feel reassured that I was at the right place :-)
Mar 22, 2016
Dental health is a really important part of my overall health. When I come in, I always feel like everyone really cares.
Mar 20, 2016
Terrific service. My hygienist, Myra, was very thorough, very gentle and very knowledgeable. I learned things from both her and Dr. Kawashima that no other dentist had ever told me. Everyone was very pleasant and welcoming and I Bennett felt like I was being rushed through.
Mar 18, 2016
Dr. Kawashima listened carefully, asked questions,& gave a clear explanation of his diagnosis & possible options available. Very satisfied w/ this first visit - Mahalo! Lita was also very helpful in setting up/prep for the visit w/ the required forms.
Mar 16, 2016
Great experience, thank you!
Mar 15, 2016
Have been a patient for about a year now and so far, the service has been excellent for each visit. Very friendly,helpful, knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend their services for dental care, as stated on their website, using a hollistic approach.
Mar 4, 2016
Dr. Kawashima and the entire Hawaii Dental Wellness staff truly do practice aloha in their services; both simple and complex! Mahalo for their dedication and professional friendliness.

A pleasant experience for a dental necessity !
Feb 18, 2016
As always, a wonderful experience.
Feb 17, 2016
Love the staff, convenient location, AWESOME service!
Feb 12, 2016
The young receptionist speaks to clients too familiarly, as though we are her young friends. Her speech was too colloquial. Also I consider it presumptuous when people young enough to be my grandchildren or children address me by my first name without asking permission.
Feb 10, 2016
Dr. Chad and the staff are awesome! It's always a pleasant experience!
Feb 8, 2016
Everyone was so friendly and great, especially the front reception and my dental hygienist Vern! Highly recommended, very convenient downtown location.
Feb 7, 2016
I always look forward to coming to the dentist. Kathy is so cordial and welcoming, Chad is always smiling and greeting patients (even those he isn't seeing that day) while he runs around between appointments and the checkup and cleaning by Myra is always top notch. The dentists and staff at Hawaii Dental Wellness really enjoy what they do, love their patients and provide sound advice for maintenance between checkups. . . just thinking about going for my appointment always makes me smile since we are always laughing (a lot) when I am there. If you are not thrilled about visiting the dentist or are afraid from stories you have heard or even personal experience where you go now or used to go I would encourage you to visit Hawaii Dental Wellness for a truly amazing experience. Parking validation too at Kukui Plaza, how's that for aloha? Mahalo Kathy, Chad and Myra for another great appointment, I feel so at home at your office!
Feb 5, 2016
Robin is the best; fast, efficient and thorough. Cathy is a gem; always helpful and very knowledgeable.
Jan 29, 2016
I trust and appreciate this amazing dental team! They make going to the dentist a great experience and I always learn something new not just about my teeth but about my overall health. They always care and they are extremely up-to-date with the latest research and technology in the dental field.
Jan 20, 2016
Staff is wonderful. Very attentive and friendly. I really like Myrna.
Jan 20, 2016
Always a good experience..I love the way you all care for your clients and how you treat the whole person and the integrity..I couldn't imagine havive any other Dentist Im very thankful Mahalo

Myra and Dr Chad are always helpful and warm. They make me feel like family.

Excellent dental care with proficient, friendly , courteous staff.
Dec 11, 2015
I had to change dentists after 10 years, because my company switched insurance carriers and so far I am happy with this choice although I only had a cleaning. I feel that I learned some new ways to deal with my crowded lower front teeth and was happy that even though I skipped my last cleaning because I was between dentists, my teeth were still doing pretty well. Myra, like my previous dentist, made me feel that I was doing a good job keeping my teeth clean, unlike the dentist before that who was always scolding me for still having some plaque. I was worried that maybe my previous dentist was too easy going and that my teeth were going to be in bad shape but so far so good. I normally have problems with sensitivity during cleanings but it was not much of an issue. I definitely felt the hygienist was very thorough compared to my previous dentist who did the cleaning himself. The sunglasses were a nice touch. Looking forward to the follow-up exam.
Dec 9, 2015
my visit was quite pleasant. no complaints.
Dec 6, 2015
All personnel from the dentist to the receptionist were friendly and efficient.
Dec 5, 2015
My experience has been good so far. I went to Dr. Motooka after not having seen a dentist for over 5 years. Everyone was very kind and helpful, and everything they did and need to do has been explained well. I would recommend Hawaii Dental Wellness for sure!
Nov 25, 2015
Very warm and friendly, skillful, dedicated Doctor.
Nov 20, 2015
Dental Hygienist is excellent and thorough. Aware of any health issues you may have. Dr. Kawashima is also friendly and involved with your health. Dental appointments with these two and their staff are pleasant!
Nov 11, 2015
The staff is always really friendly and takes care of your needs!
Nov 10, 2015
Your staff is friendly and helpful. I have been coming for the past two years and have nothing to complain about and in fact, would like to compliment you on your service.
Nov 4, 2015
Great service. I would definetely recommend to my family and friends!
Nov 2, 2015
Dental visits w/your staff is pleasant and comfortable, and you guys go out of your way to accommodate the patient. Most important, I have the feeling I'm in very competent hands regarding the dental work being done.
Oct 28, 2015
I have been a patient for over 20 years. I am always impressed by the gracious customer service and the expert care given esp. by Dr. Motooka. I am often given good suggestions for improving my care of my teeth during cleanings.
Oct 28, 2015
Great experience and very friendly staff!
Oct 26, 2015
Robin is excellent! Shows a lot of personal interest and she always gives warm encouragement :) fun to talk to also... And front desk staff is always nice
Oct 24, 2015
This is a very friendly dentist office. Everyone was so polite. Dr. Kawashima cares about his patients, very kind and explained every detail of the work that I needed. I will recommend him to all my friends. He is a great dentist.
Oct 19, 2015
All the staff is friendly, and I feel they give some of the best dental care.
Oct 15, 2015
Dr. Chad is the best dentist, and Robin is the best hygienist. I'm glad Dr. Chad is young, as I will have many more years of his competent dentistry. Robin may be retiring soon, and I'll really miss her!!!!
Oct 14, 2015
I really trust Dr. Kawashima and his staff. They are genuine and prompt and my dental care has never been better!
Oct 13, 2015
Great, very friendly and professional.
Oct 13, 2015
Myra is a wonderful dental hygienist. She is skilled in her abilities and a wonderful person.
Oct 5, 2015
First contact: Kathy was empathetic,compassionate and accommodating. My molar broke in half and I just moved to Honolulu. I called several dentist offices however it was Kathy's sincerity in her voice which immediately captured my heart. She explained that Dr.Kawashima was on vacation, an appointment would not be available for two days. Ibuprofen was held me over for one day so what was two more days..(: She called later the next day stating an earlier appt became available. I was impressed...triaging for a new patient. Tran (please excuse me if I misspelled name)made me welcomed me, immediately made me feel comfortable. When I met Dr. Kawashima, I immediately recognized that his staff was a mirror reflection of him....compassionate, patient and empathetic...He patiently explained my options, etc. A couple hours after my appointment, I received texts confirming my next two appointments....
Oct 5, 2015
I have never been to a dentist with so much positive attitude in the air. From the time I walked in the receptionist, Dr.Motooka and his dental asst. and the RDH give me such excellent service. I went home and let my whole family know what excellent service I had. With that said my kids along with their family will be going to see Dr. Motooka and his staff.
Oct 1, 2015
The staff is caring and helpful; Myra is a thorough, brilliant, and sensitive hygienist; and Dr. Kawashima is by far the best dentist, I have ever encountered, on every level. We have been coming to this office for years and have only good things to say.
Sep 15, 2015
Everyone is kind, helpful and friendly, from the receptionists to the dentists.
Sep 14, 2015
I was very pleased when I first went to the Hawaii Dental Wellness office. I was greeted with friendly people and when I went into see the Dr. I had mentioned how I felt about going to the dentist. Dr. Motooka was very kind, friendly and took what I told him to heart. I am glad I went to Hawaii Dental Wellness. :-)
Sep 14, 2015
I chose to come here because of my belief in biological dentistry and more holistic ways of treatment. Some dentists find me extreme, but not here. I feel very comfortable and Dr. Motooka and Robin and the office staff so nice and understanding! My 13-year old daughter also likes coming here compared to our former dentist.
Sep 4, 2015
Great service and awesome staff that greets you with lovely smiles.
Aug 28, 2015
I generally don't fill out surveys, so that being said, the people here provide the friendliest professional services I have ever experienced.
Aug 27, 2015
Your office is very nice from the front line nurses to the examination room with the dental assistants and Dr. Chad. Thank you for making us feel welcome and accepted. It means a lot.
Aug 20, 2015
Great quality dental work and people ! Dr. Motooka and his team are fantastic- and hygienist Myra! Thank you!
Aug 14, 2015
Excellent service! Two thumbs-up.
Aug 9, 2015
Conscious, Healthy, Friendly Dental Care. Great office staff, caring professional delivery of service and excellent value. Highly recommended.
Aug 1, 2015
Friendly staff. Felt very comfortable throughout the visit. The doctor and his staff were very knowledgeable and communicated well. The only problem is the parking. Only wish the office was better situated in terms of parking.
Jul 31, 2015
I called Saturday morning because I had a infected tooth. The were nice enough to see me in less than a hour. Everyone was friendly and understanding. It took the doctor, Randy just a few seconds to take out that tooth after making sure I was feeling no pain. The whole staff is very professional and takes great care that the people who go their are well taking cared of. This will be the only clinic I ever go to. Thank you Randy and your wonderful staff.
Jul 29, 2015
My only issue as that appointments never start on time, usually more than 15 minutes late.
Jul 28, 2015
Myra and Dr. Chad are a great team.
Jul 21, 2015
I noticed your office was not cluttered, which seems to be a common problem in Hawaii.
Jul 20, 2015
Dr. Motooka is very gentle and has helped me with a couple of chronic issues. His staff is friendly and efficient. And we get free validated parking in Chinatown, a big plus.
Jul 20, 2015
I've reviewed all the top holistic dentists in Honolulu from Yelp, and none had a resume like Dr. Chad's!!! As far as most holistic dentists go, is to give you??? mouth rinse instead of fluoride!!! I don't know how Dr. Chad had the time to accomplish all that he has---being so young with so many top awards--both here and on the mainland. He is so knowledgable and patient, and actually listens to what you are saying, which is very, very rare for ANY doctor to do!!! I can't praise him enough, ---but hope that i will always be able to get a reservation when i need it---he may be so busy!!! Nga or Ngn? his assistant, is so mind boggling---knows so much, has been in the business so long---such a beautiful personality ---answered ALL of my questions--(I had a a lot)---I'm quite sure there is no one else on the island as informed and as good as Dr. Chad and his staff---perfect in my opinion.
Jul 19, 2015
this was my first visit to dr. chad, and i surfed the net on all the 5 star doctors (not too many listed)----and being that i'm into health and have ckd and hypothyroid---i have to be very careful of what goes into my body. many holistic dentists go only so far as to rinse your mouth with ? instead of all the fluoride---that's about it. But dr. Chad goes way beyond that---and as far as i know is the ONLY dentist who goes beyond the average--- --Nga? NgN, his assistant---is the most amazing person ----she is so knowledgable and has a beautiful personality---as does Dr. Chad---I don't understand how someone so young as he is----has accomplished so much----so many top awards from both here and the mainland----he is also so very unusual in that he actually listens to you!!!---what more can i say? I shouldn't keep raving about them as i may not be able to get a reservation when i need it.
Jul 19, 2015
So far this is the only dental office that I am completely comfortable and satisfied with, aside from parking problems which is to be expected in downtown Honolulu.
Jul 16, 2015
Dr. Chad and his staff was amazing! I felt listened to, validated, and cared for. All of my options were thoroughly explained, and my future appointment was made for me. I'm happy!
Jul 12, 2015
Special thank you to Robin, my hygienist. She is so caring, and so knowledgeable about health, nutrition, and of course, dental care. I feel very cared for. And I appreciate her questions and information about many health-related issues.
Jul 9, 2015
Thank you! I always have a great experience every time I visit your office! Everyone is always so friendly and helpful. Great staff and doctor. Aloha
Jul 8, 2015
personalized, professional service
Jul 2, 2015
I have been seeing Dr. Kawashima for 7 years, and both he and his staff do a fantastic job. They always explain my options and never rush me into having work done. I have recommended him to several friends who are also very happy with him as their dentist.
Jun 30, 2015
I had an excellent experience. I will definitely be back for additional services.
Jun 29, 2015
Excellent staff. However, I am very disappointed that dental insurance does not cover a reasonable amount for fillings.
Jun 25, 2015
I am glad that two of my friends recommended me to Dr. Motooka in 2012. He and the dental hygienists really took care of me when I had problems with my teeth. What I really appreciate about them are the suggestions they gave me to for better care such as using a water pic and rinsing my mouth with a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide. I didn't receive such information from other dentists before nor had dental hygienists being so helpful.
Jun 17, 2015
Consistently the best experience. The entire staff is truly thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring in their demeanor and knowledgeable and up-to-date in techniques and skills. Highly recommended!
Jun 10, 2015
I really liked robin, the hygienist. She was very good. The receptionist was really nice also. I don't know her name.
Jun 7, 2015
I have never received better care at any doctor or dentist office. I am so impressed with Dr. Chad Kawashima's knowledge, care, and dental work. I started going to him while I was pregnant, which is such a vulnerable and sensitive time for a woman. Yet, with Dr. Chad I completely trusted his advice and appreciated that he always gave me choices and explained everything to me. I knew that my baby and self were in such caring, wise hands. He and his office staff have made me feel so welcome, cared for and important. Thank you!
May 20, 2015
As usual, dental cleaning well done by Robin who always considers preventive care as priority.
May 14, 2015
The staff was very friendly and helpful
May 12, 2015
Staff is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I look forward to going to the dentist!
May 11, 2015
I liked it a lot (8 year old)
May 8, 2015
Staff-reception,doctor and doctor assistant all professional and friendly. Have recommended to others.
May 5, 2015
Just keep up the great work!
Apr 30, 2015
Lita and Kathy in the front are always super welcoming and quickly updated me on my procedure for the day. Myra, always thorough, connects effortlessly with patients and gets down to the business of measurement and evaluation vs. the last visit and then it's on to the cleaning. The level of service has consistently impressed me over the last 10 years and the additions of text reminders and appointment confirmations keep Hawaii Dental Wellness ahead of the curve in technology while keeping a very personal touch with their awesome dentists, hygienists and staff.
Apr 29, 2015
Dr. Kawashima is knowledgeable and thorough, and is always friendly and courteous. Myra is also always friendly and does a great job explaining whats going on with my teeth and answering any questions I may have. Mahalo!
Apr 24, 2015
Something I always look forward to. As long as you do your "homework", the semi-annual teeth cleaning and assessment by Dr. Chad will be something to crow about.
Apr 13, 2015
Thank you for another wonderful experience! My 3yo became hesitant to continue with his cleaning but our hygienist gently convinced him to let her finish by letting him rinse out his own mouth and hold the sprayer :)
Apr 10, 2015
Dr. Motooka and staff are very nice, patient, thorough and competent.
Apr 7, 2015
Great service and experience!:)
Apr 3, 2015
Im glad that everyone is detailed and professinal! However i dont know why there is a big handtowel dispenser in the bathroom, i bump my head, please have a smaller dispenser please?
Apr 2, 2015
My hygienist is so awesome! This was my 2nd appt with her...she really has a caring and professional spirit and that's rare these days ... And I think her name is Lita at the font desk ... Lita is always very professional and helpful in a very sincere way ... That is rare too in these days....
Mar 31, 2015
I am always greeted with a wrm welcome by everyone--from the front desk to the people who work on my teeth. Everyones always so nice,
Mar 26, 2015
I'm a long standing satisfied (even enthusiastic) customer. Art Whatley
Mar 26, 2015
Excellent service Felt very educated about my situation.
Mar 20, 2015
I haven't been to the dentist in years and years, and I'm very apprehensive about what is in store for me, to say the least. But the warmth and kindness of everyone is easing the worry. Thanks!
Mar 8, 2015
Myra explained what she was doing during the cleaning . I had a comfortable experience. Thank you. Mel
Mar 8, 2015
Their attention to detail on the smaller comfort measures gives you the confidence that they're going to take care of the more important issues.
Feb 28, 2015
Always a pleasure to visit your office. Thanks!
Feb 26, 2015
Great staff, great office! Thank you for your excellent dental health care!
Feb 19, 2015
I appreciate the kind and friendly service from the entire office and Dr. Motooka!
Feb 19, 2015
The level of care is always high. Consistent, friendly service from people who love what they do.
Feb 18, 2015
I really appreciate the time and personal interaction given by staff without feeling "lectured" about habits.
Feb 18, 2015
Myra is great and always reminds me to floss my teeth. She has a caring personality towards her clients. I'm glad my teeth are in good hands! Dr. Kawashima always greets me with a smile and makes sure my teeth are ok. What ever he says, I listen!
Feb 16, 2015
Before this appt, I think I had been in the office only one other time for my initial exam/cleaning. That being said, it felt great to be greeted by name when I walked in, without even showing ID or anything. Keep up the great service and training of your people : )
Feb 14, 2015
Dr. Motooka is by far the best dentist I have ever had. He took time to show me each and every tooth I had on my X-ray and answered all my questions. He is knowledgeable about natural tooth care and that is rare. I even had the option of fluoride free products for my cleaning. The hygenists are always friendly and do a great job at getting my teeth clean. The front desk staff are always helpful, professional, caring and friendly. I cannot say enough about how great this practice is. I wish I could take them back to the mainland when I move!
Feb 11, 2015
I actually look forward to going to the dentist! It's always a personal experience where I feel safe and even have fun! How many people can say that about their dentist office?
Feb 11, 2015
Dr Kawashima and Staff are very professional in caring for my dental needs. Moreover, Dr Kawashima always take the time to listen to my concerns and able to explain the procedure what he is going to do and what I would expect after the procedure. He is very caring and meticulous. Dr Kawashima is concerned that I would not feel too much pain during the procedure. Having my tooth extracted was almost painless and I walked away feeling pretty comfortable. I have had allot of extraction before and it left me unhappy for a while. Dr Kawashima recently made a partial for me and it fitted very well and I am very happy with my partial. From the time I walked in I am greeted with the smiling receptionist Cathy and Lita. The office staff is always pleasant very helpful. Noa always has a smile and has a wonderful personality. I appreciate all that they do to put me at ease in every visit.
Jan 25, 2015
My visit went very well and the location is extremely convenient since I work in the downtown area. Happy to have switched providers, I hope that this level of service continues forward.
Jan 22, 2015
Office staff was outstanding! Although they were running late. Both front office ladies sincerely apologized and made me feel at home. They even gave me free cold spring water. Both the dentle hygienist and Dr. Kawashima were both very professional and helped me understand my teeth and both my financial options. I switched because of my wife and my daughter goes here as well.
Jan 21, 2015
I would always want to have Robin as Hygienist. She is very thorough, caring and sincere. Dr. Chad too has taken care of me since 2007. They are a great team.
Jan 21, 2015
I appreciate everything your office provides: from location, front desk, hygienist, to Dr. Everyone is friendly and very competent. Mahalo!
Jan 8, 2015
I am pleased with the dental care that I have received at Hawaii Dental Wellness over the past 15 years and have already referred others to this practice.
Jan 6, 2015
I really appreciate the office staff and Dr. finding time to fit me in for an emergency appointment, and then for following up to notify me of an earlier available time. The hygienist was extremely caring and interested in helping me, too. Thanks so much.
Jan 6, 2015
Best dentist I have ever been to.
Dec 31, 2014
It was my 2nd visit and I had a temp dental hygienist whom was nice but kinda of heavy handed while cleaning my teeth. She also asked some questions I didn't want to discuss but I wanted to be polite. I loved my first visit.
Dec 25, 2014
I had a great experience and look forward to going back! I was admittedly skeptical when my first appointment was just x-rays. I've been to many dentists in the past and have found that usually when this is the case, the dentist is just looking for ways to make money and not using it as a tool for developing a real treatment plan. I did not feel that way at all in this office. Everyone was helpful, polite and courteous, and I look forward to returning for a cleaning soon! I will be recommending this office to my friends and family.
Dec 24, 2014
Wonderful care, service and concern for my overall health. I've never had a dentist that was that thorough. Thank you Dr. Chad and team.
Dec 21, 2014
Excellent staff and services. Great at getting times available for college students on winter and summer break.
Dec 21, 2014
Very friendly and explained everything in a comprehensible way!
Dec 20, 2014
A little weary that I found this office from Yelp, but I'm so glad I did! Great staff, awesome doctor and located right up the street from where I work... what more could a girl ask for?? Thank you so much!
Dec 19, 2014
Great customer service and Dr. Kawashima was very easy to talk to and informative.
Dec 19, 2014
Great Team Spirit & Very knowlegible.
Dec 15, 2014
Great job administering anaesthetic and creating the mold for the crown. Very professional. I was very pleased.
Dec 14, 2014
Dr.Kawashima was very understanding of my situation and provided me with great feedback! He explained everything clearly based on my situation. Also, being a student has its pros since he was a college student himself, he understands how dental care can be expensive. I'll definitely recommend my family and friends to him.
Dec 10, 2014
Great staff.. they make you feel like family!! As for Dr. Motooka, he is gentle and caring.. I would definitely and am recommending him to my family and friends.
Nov 28, 2014
RobiN always takes care of my with gentleness. I have been coming to her for over 35 years. She treats me like family!
Nov 22, 2014
I hate the dentist honestly, and its because I have poor oral hygiene (only flossing) and getting cleaned hurts a lot. But coming here I can at least rest assured I am in good hands and will be taken care of and given the scolding I need to be good for a few weeks.
Nov 21, 2014
I very much like Dr. Motooka's overall approach to dentistry. Tess seemed very competent and was warm and friendly. The receptionists were also very friendly.
Nov 21, 2014
I cannot even begin to express how much I love Dr. Kawashima and his staff. I have never been one to be afraid of going to the dentist. Mainly because I have a high threshold of pain and don't have any fillings. Therefore, I mainly go in for cleaning, which always feels great when I'm done. All that being said, the reason I love it here is they are very gentle, knowledgeable, caring, and accommodating. I've learned more about my teeth in my two visits than I have in my lifetime. I'm in my 50's so that says a lot. I feel very confident that I'm well taken care of and am in good and trusted hands.
Nov 14, 2014
I'm getting adequate personal attention and superb dental service.

when I come in to see Robin it's like coming to visit family because I have been seeing her since I was 7 years old I am much older now don't want to give my age...and she is the same friendly and professional Robin I have come to know all these years. I have always admired her work ethics and pray she doesn't retired...I need her!
Nov 10, 2014
Very friendly and efficient staff.
Nov 9, 2014
Everyone in the office, especially Verna, Nga and Kathy and of course Dr. Kawashima, have made my experiences there so "painless". They are all so warm and friendly people and I feel so special when I'm there. They really take excellent care of their patients and I would certainly recommend anyone to visit the office - better yet, make an appointment and you'll find you're in great hands!
Nov 5, 2014
Friendly and professional. Willing to try hard to get the job done. The whole staff is very helpful, caring.
Nov 2, 2014
Robin is an absolute treasure!
Oct 28, 2014
Hawaii Dental Wellness is a great team! Friendly, timely, excellent follow up.
Oct 28, 2014
It's all good. ~ One minor thought: Does the freebie mouthwash you give out have any toxins in it? I'm thinking it has propylene glycol or some such. If that's correct, may I suggest you get something healthier? Mahalo :-) !
Oct 27, 2014
Dr. Chad, Robin, Kathy, and the entire staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Can't beat that! I wouldn't go anywhere else or be treated by anyone else.
Oct 6, 2014
Doctor Kawashima and his assistant were very professional and efficient in getting the job done.
Oct 5, 2014
Excellent and friendly service.
Sep 28, 2014
Whenever I come in for an appointment, I'm greeted with warm smiles at check in. Dr. Kawashima treats my entire family and we love him. He has a calm presence that puts you at ease and thoroughly explains what's going on with cavities etc.. He treats us like human beings and understands our fears and concerns. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist. He by far is the best dentist I've encountered!
Sep 28, 2014
Very kind, gentle and knowledgeable dentists and staff.
Sep 27, 2014
I always have a good experience at Dental Wellness. All of the staff are friendly and helpful as well as efficient making for a warm and welcoming environment. I am happy with my dental hygienist and always feel in good hands with her and Dr. Kawashima ; both take the time needed to explain any issues and procedures. Confidently recommend this dental office.
Sep 25, 2014
Myra my hygienist did the best cleaning I've ever had , she really educated me in dental care that I never knew , she is very sincere and professional , I have extreme dental phobia and for the first time I felt assured and pretty relaxed ... I'm almost 50 and I've never had a better dental cleaning experience . I must say the front office girls is also very friendly and professional all the time ! Dr. Chad is also a really excellent caring, honest dentist ! Your all awesome !
Sep 23, 2014
Myra is the best, and really appreciate her professionalism and expertise.
Sep 18, 2014
Very glad to be back under your care! Great staff and great service. Thanks,
Sep 18, 2014
Professional, dedicated and caring group of people who stay on the cutting edge of dentistry and really want what's best for their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Chad Kawashima and his team.
Sep 15, 2014
Dr. Kawashima really took into account my opinions and philosophies when recommending a course of action. I felt heard and respected!
Sep 13, 2014
Very caring, patient staff and doctor. I felt very comfortable and look forward to my upcoming appointments to get my teeth back where they need to be
Sep 8, 2014
The whole office is awesome!
Sep 5, 2014
I had such a wonderful experience! I never thought I would say that about a dentist visit. Dr Chad Kawashima spent plenty of time explaining to me what was going on, and I immediately trusted him and his office staff. I felt like they were really looking out for my best interest and the well-being of my growing baby inside. I am so grateful that I have found Dr. Chad and I will definitely be recommending my friends and family to him! He was well worth the drive from the north shore!
Aug 30, 2014
Dr. Kawashima and his staff are the best!
Aug 29, 2014
Best dentist office in Hawaii that I've visited.
Aug 29, 2014
Wonderful staff, who always greet you with the biggest smiles and make a dental office experience so much more relaxing. Also, Dr. Kawashima is an excellent dentist!
Aug 28, 2014
This downtown office really caters to the working professional. They have a caring staff and have performed consistently over the last 6 years I have been a patient; I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comprehensive dental provider who always puts the needs of their patients first.
Aug 19, 2014
Mr. Motooka was very nice guy vs. my oriinal doctor.
Aug 14, 2014
I was a bit apprehensive about seeing Myra after having Hong as my favorite hygienist for so long, but Myra was really great; personable, comforting and informative! It was probably the most thorough cleaning I've had - and my teeth look and feel great :) I'm absolutely going to make sure she's the one that cleans my teeth in the future.
Aug 12, 2014
Very pleasant experience. Dr Motaooka and dental hygienist Robin put you at ease and you feel confident in their work.
Aug 7, 2014
Entire staff is friendly, helpful and eager to explain what needs explaining. Really appreciated the fact that Dr. Kawashima was willing to work me, as an emergency, into his busy schedule. He described my situation and offered options. His follow-up care has been gentle, careful and well-crafted.
Aug 7, 2014
It was very frustrating and annoying ordeal with your Hygienist yesterday. She started scrutinizing all the records and asking so many questions which I think are irrelevant to the purpose of my visit "CLEANING". She was even so irritated, keeps on whining and complaining while she's doing her work, probably wanted to go home right away (past 5 o'clock already) and finally when she's done she started scolding and giving me lectures. I will never ever make an appointment with her anymore. A very hostile experience.
Jul 31, 2014
I felt so very fortunate that Dr Kawashima was able to squeez me in on short notice. He listened to my needs and suggested options and allowed me to decide what to do. He gave me detailed steps of what to expet and gave me a close estimate of the cost of pending procedures, which allowed me to work on my budget. I would rate this clinic visit as excellent and would not hestitate recommending this clinic to my family and friends.
Jul 18, 2014
I had an excellent experience and will recommend Dr. Kawashima to others. He is very thorough and personable.
Jul 16, 2014
All my options were explained to me. The entire staff was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Jul 16, 2014
Was extremely grateful of the service provided and the extra care they offer to making sure i'm the healthiest i can be.
Jul 14, 2014
Dr. Chad is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable dentist around. I enjoy the staff and atmosphere of this office, they really make you feel like Ohana!
Jul 14, 2014
Very Fine Wellness Oriented Dentistry!
Jul 1, 2014
You guys are absolutely the best!!
Jun 28, 2014
The entire staff is always warm, professional and very informative. I feel that I am receiving the best dental care possible.
Jun 26, 2014
i felt the hygienist was a bit too assertive; 48 hrs later and my mouth still aches; this has never happened before. can i request someone gentler next time? she did a good job, just not for me.
Jun 22, 2014
DR. Kawashima and the whole office are a great team. Everyone is so nice and pays attention to you. Dr Kawashima explains everything in detail and makes you feel at ease. His staff is also great!
Jun 18, 2014
The staff is very friendly and well organized. Dr. Motooka is great and really knows about alternatives to traditional methods.
Jun 16, 2014
Your services were amazing. A lot more informative than my previous dentists. You guys were very attentive to me and thoroughly explained to me the current condition of my teeth, which was very healthy. So far the best dental service I have ever gotten
Jun 12, 2014
Very Lucky to have Dr. Kawashima and his team taking care of me and my family.
Jun 10, 2014
Everyone I encountered was professional and courteous. Chad explained things to me that I wish had been explained to me by previous dentists years ago. Very thorough and excellent service!
Jun 10, 2014
Dr. Motooka and his staff are always professional, caring, friendly, and thorough.

This dental team is professional, friendly and helpful. I appreciated Myra's gentle touch and thorough cleaning. The Dr. came up with a solution for a long-standing issue that will improve my smile. Thanks!
Jun 5, 2014
Dr. Kawashima is an excellent dentist who takes great pride in his work and who practices safe holistic dentistry. The entire staff is really nice, efficient and professional. I would recommend them to anyone looking for the best safe dental care at really reasonable rates.
Jun 4, 2014
Good experience for initial consultation.
May 22, 2014
Very pleased with Robin's skill & expertise...
May 20, 2014
They are patient-centered here and really take care of you! This was the first time ever that I've been offered a bite guard to help hold my mouth open during a cleaning and it made a huge difference in my comfort level. Also, my hygenist applied topical numbing to areas that were hurting so that she could clean them without causing further pain. I've never had anyone offer these options before and it made for a more relaxed, comfortable cleaning. I can't thank you enough.
May 16, 2014
Your staff and service is always AMAZING!! Extremely caring, positive, and friendly people, you are all dental angels!!! 5 stars beyond and always recommended!!!
May 13, 2014
Great services: friendly and professional. My teeth got better & stronger. Thank you very much!
May 12, 2014
I have never been to a dentist who takes the time to explain my x-rays and teeth situation in detail. Not only did Dr. Motooka do that, he also showed me where my cavities were and was very professional, relaxed and friendly. I've never had such a positive dental experience :) You guys are awesome.
May 8, 2014
My experience was awesome. All the staff was very friendly & helpful.
May 7, 2014
Dr. Kawashima is the Best Dentist ever. He is very kind, skilled, gentle and knowledgeable. His staff is also always so friendly, helpful and accomodating.

May 6, 2014
I thought it was one of the best dental visits I've ever had. Dr. Kawashima was excellent. Highly recommended!

Apr 29, 2014
My visit was amazing. Kathy, Lita, Sarah, Monique, Myra, Dr. Chad, and everyone in the front and back office were all so friendly and treated me very nicely. This was the best dental visit and cleaning that I have ever experienced. I enjoyed my visit very much and look forward to returning every 3-6months. Thanks everyone! -Dr. Shaikh
Apr 18, 2014
Dr. Kawashima & Verna my hygienist are an excellent team. Front staff is exceptional as well. They always answered all my questions and concerns while taking care of my teeth. I used to hate coming to the dentist but look forward to my visits now. Highly recommend them to all my family and friends.
Apr 18, 2014
Always excellent service and helpful to explain our co-payments and to set up our appointments. Robyn and Dr.Motooka are awesome.
Apr 18, 2014
Super friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend!
Apr 16, 2014
Very friendly personnel. The workers really care about your interests and how things have been since my last visit.
Apr 10, 2014
I was ecstatic to learn that you were familiar with oil pulling. I highly recommend you and your staff at least try it, so you can spread the good news of its benefits to your patients. It's worth it, as it probably saves a lot of time, money, and pain, and when calculating the cost, it's a bargain.
Apr 7, 2014
very efficient and professional staff with a definite goal to help people with their dental needs.
Apr 4, 2014
Dr. K was fast & efficient at filling my cavity. I appreciated his explanation of what would have happened if the cavity went further. So glad you folks offered me an appt via email, and then I got to come in right away! Excellent service!
Mar 26, 2014
always an awesome healing experience
Mar 17, 2014

I like going to my dentist.
Mar 9, 2014
Parking may become a problem downtown especially if a special event is taking place.
Mar 6, 2014
Excellent holistic care you can trust!!
Mar 5, 2014
First of all one is greeted by a crew of service professionals who SMILE (evidently, this is a great place to work)! The office professionals are sincere, they care; and they follow up to what they promise! The level of service I got is rare these days and something I never experienced when going to other dentists' offices. Dr. Kawashima is friendly, warm and caring. He listens. He makes coming to the dentist welcoming, not something to dread. He educated me on the status of my teeth, bones, and gums. I was presented with a personalized plan on care & maintenance. Nothing short of an excellent and over-and-beyond visit that by far, exceeded my expectations. I already look forward toward my next visit! Thank you Dr. Kawashima and Team!
Mar 2, 2014
This is the best dentist I've ever had in my life. I used to suffer from severe chemical sensitivities every time I visited dentists, but ever since I switched to Dr. Kawashima, I've never have any problems. In addition, all the staffs are very friendly and sincere.
Mar 1, 2014
The absolute best dental experience I've ever had, period. Questions answered, procedures explained, painless as possible, super clean sterile environment, thorough to the finest degree, modern / proven technical knowledge / skills, no un-neccessary procedures or medication, and always learn something new about acquiring and enhancing better health! Great communication / reminders by email / text. Thank you all! :-) (my sparkling smile)
Feb 26, 2014
Love, love LOVE this place!! I needed some emergency work, and since I work in the holistic field, stumbled across this place while searching "holistic"! (no accidents). Based on the wonderful reviews, I decided to try it, even though I have a regular dentist. I am in and out with dental insurance, and his place is usually pricy without insurance, so I thought no harm in shopping around... Talk about gentle! They were even gentle on the pricing and very accommodating to the fact that I had no insurance (they gave me an xray gratis, and charged less than usual for the filling. THANK YOU!). And even though my tooth was challenging, he handled it with cool head and no sweat. He was in an honors society to boot! I was treated with nothing but respect, kindness, compassion and gentleness. The staff was soo sweet! And such big smiles and big hearts! You can tell it's a super place to work. The energy there was fantastic. The icing is that they validate parking in downtown. Kudos to them.
Feb 22, 2014
Robin does a great job cleaning my teeth and Dr.Motooka is always kind and gentle. They make my experience at the dentist comfortable and pleasant.

I'm amazed at your service for the Chinatown community. Mahalo!
Feb 16, 2014
Appreciate having Robin review over-all health concerns, not only dental issues, which affect general well-being.
Feb 13, 2014
Goes to show, Hawaii really is all about who you know. The second I chipped my tooth I contacted an old client who was a dentist. Although he didn't do cosmetic dentistry, he referred me to his own dentist. Even before I walked in I knew I was in good hands. I mean asking a dentist who they see for their teeth is like asking me who I'd want to film my wedding. (And im a wedding videographer) I'd only refer who I think is the best. I was able to schedule an emergency appointment for the very next day at 8am. Dr. Kawashima was very personable and his assistant was very sweet. They fixed my tooth better then before it was even chipped. I do plan to do all of my future dental work there. I already scheduled an appointment to fix a cracked filling. I'd highly recommend these people. I have never EVER been excited to see a dentist hahah
Feb 10, 2014
Excellent staff. Everyone professional and friendly. I only saw my dental hygienist this time. Hong was informative and did a great job. I was sad to hear that she is leaving.
Feb 9, 2014
Number 4 above: It was 5 minutes past. You need to have an option to enter the over or below times.
Feb 5, 2014
definitely 5 star. Both Chad and Robin were excellent
Feb 3, 2014
Some how I got confused when looking up info on web and thru delta dental. I actually signed up for appt with co-office share business --Dr. Miyasaki? --then realized the alternative approach I was drawn to was separate. He does have a bigger web presence that noted your office name, but I thought he was part of it, but he was more cosmetic dentistry.
Jan 30, 2014
Dr. Kawashima is a very pleasant dentist, and the work he does is awesome! He is the best dentist I have ever had, and his treatments are painless!
Jan 26, 2014
I have been with this dental office for many many years since Dr. Kimata first started his practice. I value the kindness and honesty of everyone who has worked there and who works there now. The must be trust and I truly trust everyone personally, financially and spritually. Mahalo.
Jan 26, 2014
Please see above - thanks.
Jan 25, 2014
I feel very well cared for everytime I visit the office. The staff is always smiling and I never wait more than 5-10 minutes to be called back for my appointment. I am most pleased with the low-key and "at home" atmosphere at the office. It doesn't feel like you are in a sterile medical environment.
Jan 13, 2014
Dr. Kawashima and his staff make going to the dentist something to look forward to. They are professional, knowledgeable, caring, and friendly.
Jan 10, 2014
Every appointment is efficient and well done. Thank you for your services!
Jan 5, 2014
Carding, friendly and professional front office team. I found that the hygienist and dental assistants were friendly, skillful, knowledgeable and honest. Dr. Chad Kawashima was professional, honest, caring , knowledgeable and good listener. Lastly I want to share that I felt important and my appointments never felt rushed. I felt that I truly got with each visit, great examinations and accurate treatments.
Jan 4, 2014
Dr. Kawashima, Dr. Motooka and their staff run an extremely competent dental practice with a caring, warm and engaging beside manner.
Dec 31, 2013
Very satisfied. ALL staff were professional, friendly, and did a great job at taking care of me as a patient. The work done on my teeth was superb and I felt very comfortable. Most don't enjoy going to the dentist, but this was as good as it gets!!!
Dec 31, 2013
Dr.Kawashima is a terrific dentist. He's thorough, efficient and explains options very well. My previous dentist was not as efficient so I am going to make it a point to come here any time I'm in Hawaii! The office and assistants are very kind and their appointment/office communication system via text messaging to the patient in advance is a great service.
Dec 29, 2013
Very caring and friendly staff.
Dec 20, 2013
Great experience, as always!
Dec 20, 2013
Everyone was so welcoming, courteous and professional. I will be referring people to you!
Dec 15, 2013
awesome service - robyn always is so gentle, kind and caring when i come for teeth cleaning - please thank her again for me thanks much, ingrid = )
Dec 8, 2013
I have moved often in the military and seen at least 6 different dental offices - this is the best.
Dec 4, 2013
My experience was very professional yet friendly and I actually remarked how amazingly smooth things run there. So prompt and thorough!
Dec 4, 2013
Exams and cleaning are always thorough and gentle. I appreciate this since I am a chicken when it comes to the dentist!
Dec 3, 2013
Dr. Motooka is the first dentist to ever show me my X-rays and explain about them. He showed me the different parts of my teeth and explained its function. He is very knowledgeable about holistic dentistry as well. He is a very nice man and very well read. I will definitely be going back for future check ups. Everyone in the office was very friendly and professional. A great experience all around.
Nov 24, 2013
I highly recommend Dr. Chad Kawashima, Dr. Motooka, and their entire team for conscientious, gentle, and excellent dental care and needs. All of the staff are wonderful!
Nov 23, 2013
everyone is very nice and as soon as you walk in the door they are there to greet you, which I think is important. Its a very comfortable enviornment, and one thing I liked is when I was with the assistant and doctor in the room, there was no awkward silence. they both were making conversation with me and got to know a little about me. I didnt have to wait long at all. usually most places they tell you" hang on the doctor, the doctor will be in shortly", and im sitting there waiting ready to fall asleep. but they were very quick and didnt keep me waiting long.
Nov 21, 2013
Actually, I found my visits to your office very efficient.
Nov 21, 2013
Charming, knowledgeable people, modern technology, dentists are gentle, .compassionate, and seemingly up on the latest medicine. The office is a little cluttered though
Nov 13, 2013
I was thoroughly impressed...not just saying that, I really was. Everyone I encounted at the office was not only professional, but genuinely welcoming. I received answers to all my questions and the staff really took their time with me. In addition, I was impressed with how knowledgable my dentist was. I never received such a documented and extensive assessment of my overall oral hygiene.
Nov 5, 2013
From just my first visit, I found Hawaii Dental Wellness to be professional, caring, and efficient. I would recommend them to anyone!
Nov 5, 2013
Everyone was courteous and friendly. It was a great experience! Thank you! I was so grateful to get such an early appointment, since I was a new patient. I thought I would have had to wait at least a couple of months.
Nov 5, 2013
See note above. I can't really put it any more clearly than that. :) Excellent from start to finish. :) Mahalo nui
Oct 29, 2013
The support staff is always welcoming, it is like welcoming family. Dr. Kagoshima couldn't be better, he cares, gives thorough information, is detailed and has a lovely bedside manner. I like coming to my dentist. Need to improve parking validation.
Oct 27, 2013
The best dental office I've ever been to! So happy I found you guys on Yelp and listened to the great reviews. My dental hygienist is always so nice, friendly and easy to talk to. I'm sad that she will be moving away. But I'm confident that I'll have another good dental hygienist at my next appointment. The staff here are all nice and make me feel welcome everytime I go there.
Oct 20, 2013
I enjoy the holistic aspect if coming here and the friendly service and wonderful staff
Oct 20, 2013
We just love you guys! Also love the fact that you deal with the whole body and not just our teeth. You are aware of the impact of chemicals in and around our bodies. This is so important these days!
Oct 16, 2013
I like the way Robin takes time and care to find out about my overall health, what medicatiions or supplements I'm taking, and how she caredully jots this information down before she begins cleaning my teeth. Dr. Motooka is very patient and precise when he works on my teeth too and did such a good jpb on my veneers, it makes me want to smile more!!And I do!!!!
Oct 16, 2013
I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of professionalism and expertise of every employee with which I came into contact. I am looking forward to making this my dentistry "home."
Oct 16, 2013
Hong is great! I will miss her... Dr. Chad is awesome too. Always a pleasure.
Oct 16, 2013
Dr. Chad is very knowledgeable, skilled, and open to all opinions. Went for cleaning and exam. Excellent job by dental hygienist Robin. Never feel as if they are rushed. My daughter and dad also are patients here. Everyone is very attentive including front office staff. Parking not the easiest but they have validated parking or if you come early, street parking. However, it's still worth coming here. Altho didn't see her this time, Dr. Chad's assistant Nga is also excellent.
Oct 13, 2013
This is an outstanding dental firm; efficient, clear communication, very good dentist and Hye (hygienist ) is outstanding!
Oct 8, 2013
Looking for a knowledgeable, professional, holistic dentist? Dr. Chad Kawashima is the person you want to see for all your dental needs. He explains everything in an easy-to-understand manner, and does fabulous work! Robin, his hygienist is excellent, too!
Oct 3, 2013
See first line in box one.
Sep 29, 2013
You are what you eat and you eat with your mouth, holistic dental wellness is an integral part of an overall health. People need to be more aware of how important it is to replace poisonous silver fillings with exciting new material that is just like a real tooth. I was very happy to find a holistic practitioner in Hawaii.. Dr. Moto is the best.
Sep 25, 2013
Your dentist Dr. Kawashima and his assistant are both excellent. When I looked like I needed water, his assistant gave me cold water! Dr. Kawashima says he will pull out my old tooth which is split and I trust him for his excellent work. Nat Hee
Sep 25, 2013
Always the very best dentistry after 16 years.
Sep 24, 2013
Professional, personable and the best dental health partners.
Sep 17, 2013
Best Dental service I have ever had!!'
Sep 13, 2013
The staff are very friendly and well informed. They seem to know their job very well and treated me very kindly. The dentist assistant told me that she worked there for 16 years. To me that means they take care of their employees. Dr. Motooka was very friendly, patient and really listened to me. I felt that we share the same philosophy when it comes to caring for my teeth. He shows me what's wrong and explains what's going to happen to my teeth in a procedure. I like to be well informed about my teeth. So far so good! I've read lots of positive feed back. Hoping to see more good things.
Sep 11, 2013
It's always nice to see everyone in the office, especially Robin and Dr. Kawashima.
Sep 10, 2013
The staff are so very personable and nice, no wait time, will send reminders of your next appt. Overall great experience!!
Sep 10, 2013
Absolutely love Hong, I hope you can find someone as awesome when she leaves.
Sep 1, 2013
Chad and Dr. Motooka and their staff really are great. Everyone is very friendly and each of them who are working on you know what is going on with your dental health. Always excellent service.
Aug 27, 2013
Everyone is so friendly and caring. Saw some changes upon the front. Parking is great.
Aug 18, 2013
Robin is an amazing hygienist. I always feel confident that she is doing a thorough job and monitoring my ongoing dental & oral health. She also is very holistic/whole body in her approach to wellness which really fits my philosophy of how I'm trying to get my gums & teeth in better shape. I recommend her to anyone.
Aug 16, 2013
Prompt, caring, and professional treatment.
Aug 16, 2013
Dr. Motooka is very friendly and has a gentle touch. My procedure was pain-free, and I felt that he and his assistant really listened to my concerns.
Aug 15, 2013
I've always had wonderful experiences with Dr. Motooka and his team. They care deeply about my health and my overall well-being, which I appreciate very much. They also listen to feedback and are always trying to improve their services.
Aug 15, 2013
My teeth felt extremely clean after Robin cleaned them.
Aug 15, 2013
Very satisfied with the service.

my experience here made me wish I had first come here for all my dental needs for both myself as well as my family!
Jul 26, 2013
Everyone in the office was very friendly and welcoming. Dr was very nice and fixed my problem immediately. Overall an awesome experience.
Jul 26, 2013
Dr. Kawashima is indeed very professional and genuine in providing optimal care. Staff provided best patient-service with a smile. Just one quick question: What's the reason of making the next appointment in December, when Dr. Kawashima expressed that I should put crowns on soon?
Jul 25, 2013
Dr. Kawashima has a very warm and caring character. This was my first visit and the appointment time was just enough to get me started. The hygienist was also very warm and helpful, and really cared about my comfort during my regular check up, for example she would warn me when cleaning a potentially sensitive area of the mouth. Overall highly recommended.
Jul 24, 2013

I've been with your organization for over 25 yrs. since Dr. Kimata, who has long passed..Now, its Dr. Motooka who has a very caring & gentle way with his patients like Dr. Kimata and I enjoy talking to him when he comes to check on me after Robin cleans my teeth.....I love Robin because she takes the time to get to know me and makes me feel comfortable before she cleans, this is important to me....I feel that Dr. Kimata is very proud of his old staff & new staff who are carrying on his legacy of caring for the patients and giving them the very best dental care.....

I highly recommend Dr. Kawashima to people looking for a dentist. He takes the time to explain things to me and doesn't pressure me to have work done. I feel like he genuinely cares about his patients. The hygienists do a great job as well, and I actually look forward to my dentists appointments because I know they do a great job.

Dr. Kawashima and his team take great pride in their work and provide the best care while practicing safe, holistic dentistry. Dr. Kawashima's front desk staff is also very efficient and really nice. Cathy has been especially helpful to me in the past and always makes time to provide the best service.

Great service, everyone is warm and very sweet! excellent experience-This is my first time visit dentist in this country! Thank you!

I moved from Chicago and had several dentists, since I have had extensive dental work. Dr. Motooka has been by far the best dentist I have ever had! I always tell everyone about him.
Jun 23, 2013
Staff is always very professional, friendly, and treat you like family.
Jun 20, 2013
First off, I was late. And was very grateful to still have my appt. Second, Dr. K fully explained the procedure, the options, (esp. the financial options). And lastly - it was pain-free! Even tho he drilled out a bad cavity in a broken tooth! (PS, #7 doesn't work. When typing in Box 7, it shows up in the Review Title and ruins the paragraph.)
Jun 18, 2013
Friendly reception staff. Great service from Dr. K.
Jun 4, 2013
I love my teeth and I feel you do too!
Mar 20, 2013
Yes, I plan to refer others to Dr. Kawashima. He's an excellent dentist.

As always, excellent, friendly & knowledgeable staff and a positive experience.

Doctor recommended 3 new products for dry mouth. You can only get the Oramoist dry mouth patch from Longs on special order, and Amazon at the same price. The mouthwash and losengers are only available on Amazon.

I have been more than satisfied with the services received from your Office! Overall, it's a very positive experience. Of course, parking is a problem, but not a deterrent. Your professionalism is only matched by your friendliness and courtesy.
Feb 28, 2013
Well the entire staff is just quite adorable, very friendly and caring, so walking in you feel at once welcome. Not waiting is huge! I was barely seated before being called in. And aside from my distracting folks, things were done efficiently and very professionally. Without doubt the most pleasant office visit I've ever experienced.

During my research to locate a "holistic" dental practitioner, your website provided vital information necessary to make an informed decision. Bottom line ... I chose Hawaii Dental Wellness and am more than satisfied with the treatment I received. Everyone is friendly and professional making you feel welcome....Your comfort is priority ... and everything possible is done to ensure that. I always need a "cover" to keep me warm and calm. Dr. Chad is a "honey" and surpasses his description of professionalism and gentleness as initially described. His assistant "Nah" is to be treasured for her warm chairside manners. I will surely recommend Hawaii Dental Wellness. Congratulations and thank you!
Feb 26, 2013
Great job! Thank you for making the first time back in a while a breeze.
Feb 22, 2013
Dr. Kawashima and his dental assistant were excellent. I was very nervous but they kept me very comfortable. I knew what was going to be done next and they alloted me time when I was coughing. It made my appointment very pleasant.
Feb 22, 2013
Dr. Kawashima and his assistant made my visit pleasant.

Office Visit - The receptionist is always very happy, helpful and knowledable of my file. She greeted me by name as i walked in. Robin is the BEST and I only go to her. Her demeanor and chair side mannor as always so inviting. She really cares about how I am doing and how my family is doing. Thank you to all your staff for a wonderful job - Well Done!

Verna is always such a friendly, helpful dental hygienist. She (as well as the receptionists) is always professional and caring. I never feel anxious when going to the dentist.
Feb 18, 2013
All things were satisfactory according to my needs.
Feb 17, 2013
Everyone was pleasant and professional even though I arrived several minutes late. Yesterday was only my 2nd visit but I very much appreciate the information provided by the hygienist and the ability to participate in managing my dental health.
Feb 14, 2013
Appreciated information and chatting with Robin and Dr. Motooka. One comment: for older folks who may or may not have a computer, this move to "hi tech" may be somewhat disconcerting. For others, it is fine.
Feb 14, 2013
impressed by dr. motooka's gentle hands. felt in good hands and felt much relieved to have found a super nice dentist. a bit confused by the lack of upfront explanations about the procedure like what was going on and what he was going to do. although he explained when i asked :D. always happy to see the front staff and maritess who are just darling people and a pleasure to interact with. hong, the hygienist is awesome too. thank you for your dedicated care everyone! stay awesome.

Robin was very helpful with general yet unique health information. I appreciate the reminders, especially for the 6 month appt times.
Feb 9, 2013
I was referred to Dr. Arakawa, oral surgeon, for extraction so the financial options question is not applicable in my case. It was good to see Dr. Motooka, Mrs. Abella and Cathy again after 3 years.
Feb 9, 2013
Dr. Chad was very patient and understood my anxiety and past fear of dentists. His assistant was very professional.
Feb 9, 2013

Although beyond your control, more parking options would be nice. As for personnel, the front office girls are friendly and super-efficient! Tess exemplifies professionalism, along with friendliness, welcoming, and warmth! Always a pleasure to visit your office! Dr. Mo? BEST DENTIST!
