My wife and I are blessed to raise four wonderful children in beautiful Hawaii where they all enjoy surfing, hiking, SCUBA diving and hanging at the beach together as a family and with friends. I have always loved the outdoors, a good laugh, adrenaline producing activities like surfing, hiking, boating, dirt biking, climbing, skiing, cliff jumping, Boy Scouting and thinking outside the box (my thoughts get claustrophobic being locked up.) Because no two crooked smiles are created equally, my job is a smorgasbord of mental fun unleashing the perfection in every smile.
One of my most cherished life experiences was as a service missionary to the Japanese people in the Tokyo, Japan area. As a result, If you dont understand kanji or speak Japanese, this says I do. My family and I love Hawaii, its culture and you, the people. We are humbled and thankful to serve you. Mahalo and Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!

Daron Stevens misshaped my daughter's teeth. She was referred to him by Hawaii Dental for a proper fitting night guard, but prescribed Invisalign instead, even though her teeth were perfectly straight. He insisted it was better than a night guard showing pictures of what would happen if she didn't get Invisalign instead of the night guard. He also insisted that he needed to shave her adult teeth to properly fit the Invisalign and ended up misshapening them. We are so disheartened with what he has done and have paid over $6,000 for something we later had to have fix by another competent orthodontist. We sincerely hope he doesn't swindle another unsuspecting patient who would believe his dishonest and incompetent practice.

Dr. Stevens is the best -- super friendly and knowledgeable! He wants to give you the best smile possible and makes sure you're comfortable and aware of everything! I'm glad I chose Koko Head smiles -- I wouldn't go to anyone else!

I had to have braces twice (ouch!)... The second time was with Dr. Stephen's to position them in prep for oral surgery - night & day difference! Not only was it a much more pleasant experience but far more affordable as well. I'd recommend Koko Head Smiles to everyone
