Brent K. Tamamoto, MD

Dr. Tamamoto has taken care of my children since they were born. I have a lot of questions and he tries to answer them all. My kids are very comfortable with him. I’m guessing it’s because he gets down to their level when he talks to them. The office staff is nice but very busy. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait to see the Doctor, but we’re okay with it because of the great care he gives to our kids.

I found Dr Tamamoto after my 1^st daughter was 2. And I’m so happy I did! He’s the best pedestrian ever! When my kids were in the hospital or 1^st born, he was there early to check up, and came late on those hard nights! Always caring & reassuring. I love that he has such a great relationship with Kapiolani being that he was a Neonato doc there previously & it makes things so much easier when we go there because they already know him. He’s been the best doctor!!! Even his fill-​ins are awesome when he on vacation. You have to be totally comfortable with u & ur children’s physician & with dr Tamamoto that’s how we are & I can totally trust my kids to his care!

worst doctor ever! i dont even know why i didnt switch pediatrician years ago for my daughter. poor quality service! if you dont like kids & dealing with physicians exchange emergency calls at midnight… dont be a doctor!!! rude & unprofessional. makes me so sick!!! no kids or parents should feel like crap because of you!

ZERO star!!! I’m glad my sister switched her three kids to another pediatrician but this doctor is arrogant not to mention the staff is rude. Specially the front desk. I went with my sister when she took her daughter and the lady infront was so rude and more concerned about chatting with her co workers… Don’t take your kids here, you’ll just get annoyed. I was so an tied I had to call her out.

The only star I am giving is for the friendly front desk clerk.
We arrived 10 minutes early for our appointment. After waiting 25 minutes, we get finally taken into a room. Another 20 minutes passes and vitals are finally taken. Another 20 minutes, still no doctor.
Ok first of all, a 3 month old child is not going to be so happy waiting over an hour. Neither is mom! If your going to overbook yourself so much that we have to wait an hour (which is absolutely unacceptable), have the common curtesy to pop your head in and say something like «sorry for the wait, be with you asap».
After 45 minutes of waiting, I stuck my head out of the door only to find doctor just sitting in his office.
After an hour I finally decided enough is enough. And Leave!!! Only to find 1– doctor still just sitting in his office. 2– I make my way through the crowed tiny hallway to realize this office is shared with some sort of mental health doctor for adults.
Now let me say, I do not have a problem with people of mental issues or disabilities. Period. However upon scheduling this first time appointment I found that it was a tiny, tiny, did I say tiny office with one pediatrician. Fine by me. Until I get there and am sharing this cracker box waiting room with these other patients. I have my son best interest on a pedestal. He deserves quality care in a safe environment. I did not feel this was the best scenario for children. It appeared these other patients were perhaps seeing a psychiatrist. I signed up for a pediatrics office. It feels very unprofessional to cram these two very different fields into the same sardine can.
In closing, I world like to say I didn’t officially meet doctor however I can tell he doesn’t display professionalism, respect for patients or any urgency at all. No go for us.

The best care for my Fab five. Great doctor and someone whom my children feel comfortable with… Excellent staff… Thank you

I have never been the one who liked going to the doctor, I seemed to always wait forever for care that wasn’t that great. When I was expecting my first child I was very worried that I would have the same problems with my child’s doctor. After being referred to Dr. T by a close family friend my Faith in Doctors has been restored. He is very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I have never waited longer then expected to see him and when there was a delay in his schedule the staff called ahead to let me know… how awesome! There is no wrong or silly question you can ask him or his staff, they make you feel at ease. I have even called the office several times with random questions and have always got a response then or by the end of the day. This is my first child and as a first time mom I feel confident in my child’s health and well-​being is being well taken care of. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Tamamoto to all parents looking for peace and mind in their children’s health.

Thank you Dr. Tamamoto and staff for the awesome service! They are always professional and dependable. Dr. Tamamoto has patience, knowledge and experience in working with children and takes the time to make sure everything is ok. He is highly recommended.

Dr Tamamoto is an excellent doctor and he’s great with children. My daughter is very shy and he is very patient with her.
He takes his time to answer all my questions. (no matter how silly they may be)
His staff is great with kids too. The location is great for those who love on the leeward side.

My son came to Dr. Tamamoto when he was a newborn. Dr. T visited me within 24 hours of giving birth. There isn’t another doctor that I trust more than Dr. T. He is very accommodating, friendly, and respectable to both me and my family. We moved when my son was 18 months and have been so disappointed that I cannot find a doctor as spectacular as Dr. T. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

With my son, I had trouble finding the «perfect» pediatrician. Each place I called wasn’t taking new patients & all the referrals I had just didn’t cut it to my expectation. But once I found & spoke with Dr. Tamamoto… I knew he was going to be my son’s pediatrician. I was right! His office is clean, staff are always very welcoming & friendly, wait time is pretty quick… longest I stay there is 45 mins to an hour. It depends on how busy it is & what each child came in for so I completely understand. There’s usually no one in the waiting area because they’re all placed in rooms & everyone has a scheduled appointment so Dr. Tamamoto really spends quality time with each & everyone of his patients which I love! He’s very thorough & explains everything in the most simplest way. He’s always patient & very great with my son!

AMAZING Doctor and Great Staff!!! We were referred to Dr. Tamamoto by two friends and after visiting three pediatricians for our first child we decided to go with Tamamoto. What a great choice!!! He visited the hospital the day of delivery to check up on our daughter and made three other visits while we were there. They have always made room for us when we needed to come in. Very attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough doctor. His staff is also very friendly and helpful. We are traveling to a few islands in the lower Pacific for business and are worried about proper vaccinations before traveling with our daughter. Both the doctor and staff were very knowledgeable about how we can adjust her vaccination schedule and gave us a lot of paper work to look over as well. Additionally they went over each disease that is present in some of the regions and what we can do to minimize her chances of exposure be it vaccination or other medical advice and practices. Never expected so much help and enthusiasm when bringing up such questions. He is our #1 referral to all of our friends expecting on Oahu!

I have a 10 year old daughter and we are so happy with Dr. Tamamoto. He is a fantastic doctor and his office staff is super helpful and nice as well. What I love about Dr. Tamamoto is that, not only is he super down to earth, but he really cares about the childrens’ well being. I was very impressed to know that he was attentive to my daughters medical needs but also her social and emotional development as well. We have had plenty of conversations about attention and responsibility development as well any health issue she may have had. He always has time! Its a breath of fresh air to find a doctor and staff that are not running a «business», but instead a caring practice where they all know you by name. Excellent care! My only regret is that we are moving. I really hope I can find a pediatrician that is as nice and caring as Dr. Tamamoto (and staff). Thank you for everything!

I love Dr. Tamamoto! He is very gentle and kind. I have 2 children that go to him, one of them being special needs. Dr. Tamamoto has helped us get a diagnosis from specialist and helped with her overall development and health. I can never imagine him being rude, he just doesn’t have that in him. So I don’t know what that other reviewer is talking about. I’ve referred my friends here and they are very happy with him. The only complaint I have is that he can be busy and you may have to wait past your appt time.

If you’re a parent looking for a caring pediatrician, this is NOT the place for your kids! This doctor and his staff are not only rude, they talk down to their patients. This is the first pediatrician that I’ve ever had problems with. I have seven children n my oldest is 22 years old. The biller person is never in n they never return calls. They made multiple mistakes on my billing which my insurance confirmed and I didn’t get one apology. This doctor and staff should not be here! They all look miserable here. Worst pediatrician ever!!! Save yourself the headaches! He didn’t even deserve the one star!

I’ve been going to this doctor for a few months now. After being spoke to in a rude, condescending manner, and blatantly Iinsulted by this doctor, who called me; «Ridiculous». I decided to change providers. I would not recommend this doctor. Absolutely no sense of mutual respect, and disgusting bed side manner.

It has been little over a month now we been bringing our son here. Really friendly staff and Dr. Tamamoto is really good and really helps and gives us great advice.
