Angela M.A. Chin, DMD, FAGD

Kindest, thoughtful, painless dentist in Hawaii.
Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a dentist in Kakaako area.

I have also been going to Dr. Chin since I was a child, and I would not consider going to anyone else. I even schedule appointments every time I’m in Hawaii, because I can’t find anyone I like more than her in California.
The things that differentiates Dr. Chin and Pam from other dentists are:
1) Expert knowledge. For example, Dr. Chin was a past Chief, Dentistry Division at Queen’s. She explains all your options to you and tells you why she recommends one over others.
2) Meticulous care. You will be spotless when you leave her office. And your teeth will be white.
3) Super sweet. The many holiday and Halloween pictures on her wall tell the story. Dr. Chin and Pam are loved by many families!

I have been seeing Dr. Chin for many years now and wouldn’t consider anyone else for my primary dentist. She is about as good a dentist as you’ll ever find and nobody would ever be as accommodating to a patient’s schedule as she is. Pam, dental assistant and office magician, is the bonus. Together, they make a trip to the dentist almost fun.
The office moved to town in January, 2015. She is no longer in Aiea so if you see a Kaahumanu address, it’s incorrect.

I have been going to Dr. Chin ever since I was a child, and will continue to do so for as long as I can. I don’t trust any other dentist but her. I have had zero cavities and no other major issues with my teeth, and it is a testament to her thorough cleaning and meticulous methods, rather than my own habits (as I have a sweet tooth and frequently drink coffee and tea). I live on the mainland now, but when I return for the holidays I always schedule an appt. I would recommend her to anyone. She is also very accommodating to busy schedules.

This small dentist office makes you feel like family and are so friendly. I came here for the first time and boy was it different from my last dentist. Let me tell you, when they clean… THEY CLEAN. I guess my gums weren’t used to their machine and it hurt bad. My gums were bleeding like crazy and they said that was unusual. My last dentist never used that kind of sharp device and would only use the polishing device. My old dentist said it wasn’t good to scrape the teeth too hard but it seems like Dr. Chin got out a lot of the plaque in my teeth. So I’m not sure if this was good for my gums or just what they needed but they’re still a little sore when I brush.
Not sure if I want to go back though, kind of scared! Haha. You know how they always show the kids in movies acting like the dentist is an evil villan? Well I kind of feel like that when I think about this place now. I mean they’re a really friendly office don’t get me wrong, but my gums feel otherwise… but really, I appreciate that Dr. Chin herself does all the cleaning and doesn’t make her hygienists do all the work like my last dentist. I spent almost 2 hours there because she was explaining all sorts of useful information about my teeth and teeth in general. She truly cares about her patients and knows what she’s talking about.
The only thing is when I called to make an appointment, for first time clients they recommend you come in for a consultation and x-​ray and then come in again for a cleaning… and when I came in for the cleaning she wanted to do a check up in a month! Seems like a lot of visits and a lot of $$…Oh and when she gave me samples, I thought they would be free right? But on my bill I saw a in the «tax» section there were charges on there… and not like a couple dollars but like $ 15! Oh well… I mean she is a really good dentist just expensive and some things are questionable.
