Provided splint for my achilles injury before I flew back to New Jersey. Would highly recommend for urgent care.

I'm very disappointed in the services being provided here. They don't have a consistent doctor, have failed to submit referrals for blood test, and fill medications. Overall many people have experienced incompetence while under the care of the community health center. They use the statistics of native hawaiians to acquire more funding but do not actually serve the at risk and in need community of native hawaiians. The MCHS needs to do better!

Today, we went to a Menehune Craft Fair and a Heath and Wellness Fair. This fair was open to everyone!! Maui police made an obstacle course for the keiki and they gave away hats and other great gifts for them that complete it :) Menehune Craft Fair had jewelry, lip gloss, scrunchies, and face painting. They also served food - veggie burger and poke plates, as well as drinks - acai and orange dream. Yum! Inside the Molokai Community Health Center pavilion was open and had different vendors such as MEO, HMSA, and even served health foods and smoothies. I went here with my mom and my grandfather

We have an infant that we breastfeed. They force us to give our child formula because the pediatrician insisted. When we insisted that the baby had gained a reasonable amount of weight no different pattern then of our 5 previous children in growth. They called in the police that would not let us leave until the baby ate 4 oz of formula. The child was full term and with strong vitals. They overridden our right to chose to not us formula and breastfeed. We had ok service for the 3 years before. But we strong believe in our personal right to make our children's health decisions. I would not recommend

I enjoy the convenience of being able to have my daughter' s doctor' s and dentist' s office on the same property.
it is fairly easy to schedule an appointment with either. staff are friendly, wait time is minimal.
