Joseph Nishimoto, a General Practitioner, founded Pearl City Medical Associates, Inc. in the summer of 1957 in Pearl City, Hawaii. He was one of only a handful of physicians practicing in the Leeward area at the time. After several years in solo practice, pediatrician, Dr. Edward Kagihara, joined him.

1. Please inform the receptionist of any insurance changes and present your new medical insurance card upon arrival for your appointment. If there is a PCP named on your medical insurance card, the PCP must be a current Pearl City Medical Associates, Inc. (PCMA) physician. This will ensure proper billing and prevent any uncovered services by your health plan.

Office visits are by appointment only. If you should walk-in, you will be accommodated after all other patients with scheduled appointments are seen. We always strive to see our patients on time. However, we are unable to anticipate when patient emergencies arise, and/or when patient visits take longer than expected.

Your personal physician may not always be available. The doctors provide coverage for each other, and you may receive a call back from the physician on call. You may call the Physicians Exchange at (808)524-2575 to reach the on-call physician when our office and phone lines are closed. If you are experiencing a medical emergency when our office and phone lines are closed, please call 911.

We have a refill line available to leave a message requesting prescription refills for your primary care physician. When you call the Adult Medicine or Pediatrics Department phone line, you can press "1" to be transferred to the refill line. Phone number where the requestor or patient can be reached in the event there are any problems with the request.
