I had a scheduled appointment for 930. Minutes after arrived at 925 they took in someone completely unscheduled. I waited for 45mins past my scheduled appointment and after being told they didn't know when I would be seen I left. The agreed upon time to meet is a basic aspect of trust between a patient and provider. If I can't trust you to take care of honoring your appointments at the basic level how can there be trust to provide actual medical care. I am extremely disappointed with the service I received. I missed a day of work for this appointment and altogether it was a big waste of time..
I absolutely agree with the last review - Dr. Odo is gentle, caring and very professional - wish I had found him sooner. I was very impressed with how fast I got an appointment after waiting for 2 1/2 years with COVID-19 and no one who would take Medicare. Mahalo to all the staff!.
I loved Dr. Odo. I needed a dentist, who understood all my past dental issues. He was very sweet and knowledgeable..
I am 67 years of age and have had many dentists over many years and Dr. Sean Odo, DDS, is one of the most professional, thorough and gentle practitioners I've had the pleasure to know. He has a beautiful office and a grand staff. He also has a very pleasant consultation office where he sits with you and explains procedures in extensive detail. He's very honest and upfront about conditions. 5?????.
I received a pamphlet in the mail about Dental Care of Maui. The pamphlet looked promising so i checked online for their reviews. Many of the reviews were negative and said they would try to scam me out of my money while overworking my teeth. But i had a feeling those reviews were fabricated to bring down the opinion of this clinic. After I read the reviews of this office I was hesitant to make an appointment because i was worried they would say i had many cavities and would try to make lots of money off of me, but i decided it would be good to give them a try and decide for myself. Here is my experience: I have HDA as my insurance and they accepted it. Upon entering the office I immediately was at ease. It looked very nice and they had a TV to watch, magazines to read, and friendly staff to talk to while i waited to be called into the back. In the back (the examination/operating room) the equipment and quality continued to be very nice. They had a TV to watch while I waited for Dr. John Uehara and also let me bring a magazine from the front. They had me do x-rays and then Dr. John came in to give me my exam. Dr. John was extremely friendly. He is a genuine professional, he answered any and all questions I had without seeming tired of me or annoyed. (and being someone very interested in human anatomy and medical procedure i have many questions) The exam went fairly quick and he worked with me on what i wanted to have done and the order we would do things. I explained that i am tight on money and that i could not afford too much but he assured me that my insurance would cover most of the work we would do. We decided that I would return to have 3 of my wisdom teeth removed and that after that we could decide on what we would want to do next. (I have a chipped front tooth, and he had pointed out a single cavity that i can completely agree with its existence) After we made the plan he wrote me a prescription for pain meds so that i would have the meds ready at home after the extraction. I was on my way. The secretaries were very kind. They worked with me on my schedule (i work most days 8am-4:30pm) and scheduled me the next week for my wisdom tooth extractions. They also went above and beyond to help me confirm my insurance. (I lost my insurance card) Once they confirmed my insurance they quoted me at 155$ for the three wisdom teeth extraction. They also were willing to work with me and my tight budget so as to get the work done and not leave me in pain. I returned for my extraction the next week. Dr. John was once again very friendly and it was great to have him work on me. The extraction went very quick (about 1.5 hours but felt like 1 hour) and he made sure that i was not experiencing any discomfort or sharp pain. The last dentist i had removed one of my wisdom teeth and it was a brutal experience where they did not write me a prescription for pain meds and told me i would just have to deal with the pain or take a home pain meds. Whereas Dr. John was gentle, relaxing, and very understanding of my situation. He was able to remove all of the teeth with no complications. After I left the office and went home the numbing medicine began to fade away. I was worried that the pain meds Dr. John prescribed me were not strong enough so I called the office and they talked me through the next couple minutes even though i was giving them attitude and demanding stronger meds. But as they told me, I just had not given the pain meds time to kick in. Soon I was in no pain and feeling fine. It has been 4 days since my appointment for the extraction. I am convinced I will be using Dental Care of Maui and Dr. John from this point forward. If you are looking for a dentist who will treat you right and will not break your wallet. this is the place to go. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you again to his great staff and the wonderful service they have provided me. Mahalo for reading my review, Grant Gahm ps. form your own opinion and don't just take my word for it.

I really don't know how this place only has 3.2 on here. I went for a cleaning and x-rays after a long time of hating dentists and just taking as good of care of my teeth as I could at home. Well my cleaning was very professional, meaning they didn't jab the heck out of my gums but they did remove plenty of plaque. Really the whole experience was very pleasant and professional. They did take x-rays and as I knew I do need filing and I'm going to trust that they'll do those as professionally as they did my cleaning. In fact. I'm looking forward to it very much. Again I'm not sure how they have such a low rating because I normally wouldn't rate a company 5 but they earned it, at least today. I really don't know how this place only has 3.2 on here.
