Report
Ive been with Ko'olauloa Health Center for over 5 years. I never had problem with the nurses or receptionists, all very helpful & supportive. I am upset with one of their doctors who seems lost. This is my 3rd time seeing her for the same issue, if she had done the first thing that she was suppose to do the first time then i wouldnt have to walk all the way to the clinic today. After this visit, i am changing doctors. She also does not know how to do Tele Health which would be helpful...Im just disappointed.

Most of my experiences are positive. But unfortunately my last one was not and has the greatest impact on my health. I am getting surgery this Friday May 31st. I had a pre-op physical done 3 weeks ago and still have not received the clearance letter from the physician even though I have been calling 4 days straight. Its very unprofessional for this not to have been taken care of weeks ago, especially when Im getting major surgery in 3 days.

Quality care from welcoming staff. They always fit us in and send timely reminders. We travel halfway across the island, because we never feel pressure about vaccine choices or other treatments options. Dr. Sutherland is informative, never pushy, and makes an effort to make the little ones feel comfortable. Worth all that turtle traffic for sure!
