Kokame Gregg T MD

Doctors are busy, I get it. What I don’t get is the 3+ hours I’ve had to wait for a checkup/​second opinion TWO times. I didn’t purposely choose Dr. Kokame, I was referred, but I am most definitely never scheduling with him again, even on a referral.
If the practice is so busy, why are they accepting patients? If you want to wait in a plain waiting room for 2 – 3 hours at a time to see an eye doctor, go to Dr. Kokame, else find somewhere else, I know I will.

Gotta admit this guy & his practice are one of the best in Hawaii with offices at Kuakini & Pali Momi. There are so many patients that have to make special arrangements just to see them from the neighboring islands! Their waiting ROOMS are even FULL with patients & their family members! What I can’t understand is they truly make a LOT of money off of their patients because they have to see them several times a year and the wait on average can be 1.5−3.0 hrs long! Why can’t they put a TV in their waiting room? Are they assuming that their patients won’t be able to see? Why put a slideshow of those in the practice with their pics & their credentials for us to see repeatedly for hours when they already have them on pamphlets for us to take home? Are they that in vain for they have already established that they ARE indeed exceptional retinalogists! Also, I need to add that they simply need to febreeze their waiting room (sorry, I don’t mean to be demeaning but) for the last 3 times I was there, it smelled like an older gentleman’s body odor that was nauseating!
