Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I don't wish to bash this doctor as he did pass the medical bar and did become a doctor. However, this doctor did not pass social skills training or he has lost his ways to perform his duties. That being said, my father's appointment with him felt like a bother to Dr. Kai. The doctor didn't even look at my father's other ailments that he was having due to his heart issues. For the people that say he is an excellent doctor, I believe you; however, if you're in great shape then it would great experience. If you have underlying issues, he will not give you the time of day or look at you when talking to you. If you were transferred to him, I hope he gives you a thorough check over before giving you a diagnosis. Not going into too much detail, but my father's appointment felt rushed, no eye contact, not even looking at other issues, and Dr. Kai seemed very arrogant in his ways. His staff is just the same, so if you're a kapuna looking for a new cardiologist this is not the doctor.
