As someone who has dentist anxiety, everyone who has helped me has been extremely kind, patient, and understanding with me! They were very quick to help me with my severe tooth pain and I got scheduled for a root canal in just a month! Would definitely recommend :)

I had the misfortune of shipping my molar so badly that my tongue rubbed against the remnant 'spike' of balance tooth and started bleeding and hurting a lot I had just landed into Maui Airport and was extremely miserable about my tongue The good doctor took me in, as an emergency case, without any prior appointment and ran through the complete process extremely professionally as well as advised me the practical issues as I am a tourist with a halt of only 4 nights at Muai The doctor and his assistants sent me right in no time and I'm really in debt of the dental surgeon

Island Dental? Hard to get an appointment, but they never leave you sitting around very long when you get here. My only experience is with Dr Lee. He is very skillful and gentle. My teeth are in terrible shape from years of neglect, but he is doing a great job of getting me fixed up. All in all, they are doing a great job. I've seen the worst of dentistry here on Maui and also some of the best. Island Dental is one of the best.

This is my second review because I have been a client for decades. These folks are top notch. When one is on vacation you can count on being temporarily helped by another top notch pro. Same for hygienists. I have been seen by 3 or more dentists and two or more hygienists. They are all excellent. Dr Dugan, Elaine, Dr Lee, Dr Yeager, the billing and scheduling staff, all are great at their jobs and make me smile. And on occasion I get referred out and their referrals are of the same high quality. I feel like I'm a family member. That is, welcome, caring, results oriented. Try ''em" out!
