Keiki Dental

We were vacationing in Hawaii for Spring Break and unfortunately, my 3 yr old son fell on his face while running after a soccer ball. He badly scraped his upper lip, ripped the piece inside your mouth that connects the upper teeth to the upper lip (don’t know proper name) and his front left tooth was loose. My son was hysterically crying for an hour or more. We got in touch with our pediatric dentist in CA (where we live) and after sending him a photo of the tooth (with blood surrounding it), he suggested we find a pediatric dentist that could take a look at it. I called the first place listed on google but they didn’t have an after hours emergency number. Then I called Keiki Dental & they had an emergency number so I called it at 8:30pm. Dr. Do picked up and I was able to explain my situation. He needed to find an assistant to meet him at the office (I guess he can’t be there alone in case he needs assistance) & would call me back in 10 – 15 mins. He called me back in less than 10 mins and said he would meet us at 9:15pm. He gave me the address and directions on how to find his office. He was unable to get an assistant to come with him, so he brought his wife. He had us fill out some paperwork, while he turned the TV on for my kids to keep them busy. The office was very cute with décor and he got right to business. He took x-​rays of my sons mouth and sure enough – he had fractured his tooth… thus the reason it was loose. Thankfully, the tooth did not need to be extracted because the break was high enough up in his root. Dr. Do was very kind, gentle, and professional. After we got home, his office sent me a full report of our visit and photos of the x-​rays he took so I was able to forward on to my son’s dentist at home. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Do to anyone who needs a pediatric dentist. He made us all feel a lot better in a scary situation and it was beyond amazing that he met us after hours at 9:15PM!!!

Never going back there again, they couldn’t respect my wishes on how my child is sedated so she could get her teeth cleaned. I’m fine with liquid form that makes the child drowsy but not a gas mask instead of saying ok, the receptionist had the nerve to tell me «why are you so against it? I don’t see a reason why you don’t want it.» After continuously telling her no and my reasons and her continously giving me attitude and telling me «yah idk why youre against it“she finally said «yah ok» while rolling her eyes. Im sorry but have you been living under a fcking rock? I dont care how well you claim you guys monitor while the child is under sedation with the mask, kids have died «while being monitored».
on the day of her appointment she was sedated (with liquid) they still tried to put a mask on her even after giving her the liquid I told the assistant «what are you doing, I didn’t consent to this!» The assistant said «oh, I forgot» like TF?! You forgot, unreal never again I’m taking my business elsewhere

Doctor is really nice but I just witness his front staff rolling her eyes with a irritated look on her face after a parent turned her back asking to see her screaming child. Then after that… my husband heard the same staff members talking crap about me not knowing the man was my husband. This staff needs to show professionalism.

Very patient and caring to my two young children. Both came before they were two years old, and the dental assistants and Dr. Do were just as kind and experienced as I could possibly expect. They guided me and the kids through the process gently since examining a nervous child’s mouth is a bit of an art. Both my kids did well and even when the baby started screaming, Dr. Do wasn’t phased. Very happy I found this office for my kids.

My daughter had her first dentist appointment today. She is 4 and always nervous about doctors so we never took her. I noticed a few days ago when brushing her teeth that he had a cavity. Since she had been brushing on her own this was the first time I seen the cavity. I wanted to get a jump on fixing it so I called this office to make an appointment. They were extremely friendly and got me and appointment for both daughters within the same week.
Fast forward to our appointment day! The location is super convenient and very child friendly. They took us on time and the Dentist explained everything to my daughter. After she had the initial check up we were told we can stay and wait so the dentist could fill her cavity! Wow! So we did wait and she ended up getting the filling! Dr. Do is amazing with children along with his staff! My youngest daughter has her appointment tomorrow and she is so excited based off what her sister told her!
Would recommend this dentist office to anyone who has children! Amazing!

We were referred to Dr. Yongsok Do by another pediatric dentist (forgot the name but very honest) due to the fact that I have an autistic child. No matter how many times we go the dentist it is a painstaking experience due to various sensory issues associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We had spent some time at another dentist, which we liked, but had to leave due to the new dentist inexperience with special needs children. Upon making my first appointment, the receptionist assured me that they had seen several autistic patients. Our visit was great! The front desk staff is super sweet and understanding. Dr. Do is extremely patient and gets straight to business. He doesn’t bother to use any tools in my sons mouth as he is terrified and doesn’t make him sit in the chair either (Which was one of our problems at our previous dentist). I sit in a smaller chair with him facing me and he lays his head back in Dr. Do’s lap for the cleaning and examination. Every visit my son cries and screams, but Dr. Do doesn’t mind at all and continues with the cleaning and examination. At our last dentist the hygienist told us we had to get our son to stop crying before continuing with the cleaning (Any parent with a child on the spectrum knows that’s not an easy task) They also would force his mouth to stay open with a bite stick which in turn made the experience more traumatic. Dr. Do is patient throughout the entire process. He never sends a hygienist to clean his teeth he always does my sons cleaning personally. His examination is also done by hand he goes tooth by tooth with just his gloves on checking for cavities and the condition of his gums. This is also great compared to our last dentist who placed a scraping hook in our little guys mouth and instructed him not to bite down. Even after we explained Autism and how our son is not able to comply with simple instructions, the dentist continued to use the hook and got upset when my son would not comply. While we are still working on overcoming dental visits Dr. Do is the perfect dentist until we are able to cross the finish line. I would highly recommend him for special needs children especially those on the spectrum.

Patience is always required when dealing with children. This will be evidently amplified during the very first or in some cases, ‘on-​going’ dental visits. We’ve been coming here since our ‘Little One’s” first visit.
So getting back to ‘patience,’ this place sure does NOT LACK it. The many ordeals of sitting in the waiting room for the sedation to take effect or the pending indecisions of whether to subdue (restrain), this place has been top-​notch. From the front office to the dental assistants and doctor, this place is terrific. All the desirable buzz words: Friendly, Courteous, Helpful, etc…; these qualities all exist here. Besides, they’re also open on Saturdays and for those that have a busy work week, this can be the simple, deciding factor.
Kudos to this place and thanks for the continual, excellent service!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ;-)

My two year old had THIRTEEN cavities and we were referred to Dr Doe because he does oral sedation. For those of you who have yet to experience the miracle that is oral sedation, they basically give your child a dropper of medicine which makes them completely loopy for 30 minutes. While in this inebriated state, they strap your child onto a papoose board and complete the necessary dental work. Barbaric? A little. Necessary? Absolutely. THIRTEEN cavities is no joke and yes, we brush our child’s teeth. Her father had brittle teeth as a child, which his Mother boasts they turned purple and broke into pieces. (Points finger) He is obviously the one to blame for this one.
THIRTEEN cavities and $ 800+ later, my little toddler has caps on her two front teeth and on two back molars. THANK THE LORD above for oral sedation and I really like Dr. Doe. I found him to be very considerate and thorough during an extremely stressful time. We visited him a total of three times — once for the initial consultation, and two more times for oral sedations and a drill fest. Amazingly, I really don’t think my daughter will remember all that drilling. You’d think she’d shudder at the thought of the dentist but remains oddly un-​phased.
All I have to say is, where can I get some ORAL SEDATION?
P. S. Free parking and Keiki Dental is located on the third floor.

My daughters have been patients of Dr. Doe for 5+ years and I will not see anyone else but him! Himself and his staff are all wonderful and well trained in their field. Everyone from the receptionist to all the dental hygienist are very friendly and caring when servicing my daughters. I make the 30+ minute drive to Ewa because it is well worth the drive.

They were good. But they seemed a little rushed. & as we were finishing our appointment, had another patient come in & start their appointment. Not really fair to us that had our appointment. That was like saying «hurry up & get the hell out».
For my boyfriends 2 year old they told us not to brush with fluoride toothpaste, but gave a kid size tube. She isnt about to eat the whole tube of toothpaste, but they have to give us more credit that being idiot parents.

My kids have been coming to this office for 5 years. I love it here. The staff is wonderful! They really love the kids. Dr. Do is such an amazing dentist. He is so compassionate and good at what he does. As far as the one star comment above about the fluoride and her child. Really lady? Do you not watch your kid? I’ve never had my little ones want to eat a tube of toothpaste, the stuff isn’t that tasty now is it?. Keep it out of reach.

Everyone there seems friendly and the dentist was gentle with our 12 month old daughter.
However… he sent us home with a free toothbrush and flavored toothpaste WITH FLUORIDE! Fluoride should not be given to children before they can spit, i.e. three years old or so.
If my daughter had been so inclined to eat the tube of yummy, bubble fruit flavored, toothpaste she could have suffered from fluoride poisoning or possibly death.
From a doctor, I expect more. At the very least, he should have given us a warning that this toothpaste had fluoride and that could be lethal. I worry about parents who are unaware that fluoride can poison.
