I started going back again to Dr. Ho. I was away from dental work as I had been busy going back and forth between Honolulu and Tokyo due to my mom’s passing. I missed a few cleaning appointments and came back. He found a cavity and crack on my upper left teeth. I knew something was wrong with them. They hurt when I was eating something spicy and drinking cold stuff.
Last time I was there, he fixed the cavity with a porcelain filling. No pain. He knows I have sensitive teeth so used the right amount of anesthesia. I need to cover the cracked one, otherwise it would chip off. Today he covered it with a temporary after drilling. No pain at all !
In my last & last last reviews in English, I said I have «dentist-​phobia» because of the previous dentist wrongdoing (He was at Pan Am Bldg). I almost got panic attack and gag reflex became my habit during taking oral X-​ray, etc. He left the film in my mouth unattended and I almost choked on that.
But Dr. Ho is different. He never leave something in my mouth unattended. He himself or an assistant is always beside me. So I feel safe and secured.
I highly recommend Dr. Ho to everybody.
BTW, I got a goodie bag after the treatment today!

I woke up to a dental emergency [wisdom teeth] at two am this morning. Still new to the area and on my own, I was nervous to try and go through the process of finding a physician to help. Thanks to Google, I found DDS Ho, right behind my apartment. I went in without calling the second they were open [8am]. Normally I would call first, but this was an emergency. They were very kind and sweet and made sure to try and help me out. They were able to squeeze me in at 9:15a, even though they had a full schedule. And for good reason. I was feeling physically ill and they made sure to help me out and made sure that i was comfortable and taken care of. The whole staff was very professional, understanding, the office was beautiful and clean, and the whole experience was very calming. The effort made to make the patient feel at ease was astonishing, from the music to the view, to a calming photo placed on the ceilings. They were able to give me an equally wonderful and clean referral, as well. This physician and his team has certainly earned every award they were given, and my respect. I’m actually looking forward to my next visit.

I have since been here two other times since my last review and scheduled first thing in the morning appointments for both– was taken in as soon as possible.
I had 4 cavities done and was extremely nervous– the dentist and assistant went out of their way to make sure I was completely comfortable. They made it completely pain free– I was relaxed and the work was completed quickly! I am so lucky to have chosen Stephen Ho as my new dentist… He is amazing and I refer him to anyone that asks now.

Dr. Ho is one of the most knowledgeable dentists I have been to. Since I have had a series of dental issues since I was a child I am always very picky about dentists. Dr. Ho has been the most caring and patient dentist that I have ever had. He has also taught me how to take care of my teeth better than ever.

I went to see Dr. Ho because I had a black spot on my molar that I thought may be a cavity. His office manager Karen was very friendly on the phone, she even got me a visit on the day I called. Dr. Ho was very nice. Dr. Ho talked me through his findings, showed me with the camera-​scope what exactly he was looking at, and offered several recommendation choices. I elected to have the black spot seal – which was painless and quick. This was probably the best dental visit I have ever had. I will definitely be going back to see them in the future.

It’s been a year since I made my last review and want to recommend Dr. Ho heartily. He is an excellent dentist, also pretty much pain-​free. The whole staff is friendly, parking is validated, and prices are very reasonable. Best. Dentist. Ever!

My grandmother in law and my husband go to Dr. Ho. I had seen him right after I moved to Hawaii back in 2003, when my old filling came off. I got a new porcelain filing. After that I was not able to go to him for while as he does not take HMSA. I finally got HDS and started to see him again. I just had my cavity fixed with a porcelain. My previous doctor did not do good jobs and I got «dentist-​phobia» because of that doctor! I had pain for a while after I had a silver filing. But Dr. Ho does great job always.
I’m thinking of doing whitening next time.

Broke my tooth, and hate a dentist chair. The staff was caring and the best part is the dentist actually did not hurt me! For the first time in my life I actually am looking forward to my next visit.

Granted, my reason for coming here in the first place was because I live a few seconds away from their office. But Dr. Stephen Ho is now my regular dentist and I didn’t even bother trying anyone else.
— I never have to wait more than 10 minutes. The one time the Doctor was running late (30 mins), the receptionist informed me he had an emergency surgery earlier right away so I knew what was going on.
— He does cosmetic dentistry plus regular procedures. Personally, I don’t see why you would go to a dentist that also doesn’t specialize in making your teeth look great.
— Everyone is super nice, including the doctor. He also cares about the patient’s health. Example: I want to get braces in the near future and instead of pushing the more expensive route, he actually promoted the ‘cheaper yet better for my bite and hence my health’ route. I still decided to go with the more expensive one (screw long term haha — who wants to wear obvious metal/​plastic for a year or two) but at least he tried to get me to do what’s right for my long-​term dental health.
— He has a controlled-​injection system for freezing the mouth, which is basically a way to reduce pain. These things are awesome, especially once the freezing goes away.
— Some people might find this a con: he does prefer composite fillings (the white kind) over the amalgam ones (the metal kind) and he will tell you this albeit very gently. However, I am in complete agreement that the metal ones are evil (!) so this was a pro for me. He still does the metal ones if you want them. But do you really want tiny, tiny bits of mercury going into your stomach as the filling decays over time??! Ok, it’s less mercury than fish I’m sure but still!
Now if only I could find a good doctor…
