Kahala Pediatrics

Most Rude Person I Have Ever Met.. I am left feeling completely shaken and appalled by the rudeness of Dr. Dezzani. We went for a consultation with her and left before it was over. She was 45 minutes late to the consultation--which was ok, because I know that doctors are busy. When she did arrive she was unbelievably rude, curt, and dismissive. I would never take my child to see her, nor would I ever recommend her to someone. I will write this review on other review sites too. I would hope that no one else feels the way I do right now. Please seek another doctor if you are looking for a good one for your child.…

Ultimately Disappointing. When I first met with Dr. Dezzani, I really liked her and the facility. She was one of the few pediatricians that actually was okay with our choice not to vaccinate our daughter. The only problem I really had with her is that I felt that our visits were very rushed, always. Which made me wonder how thoroughly she had really checked my daughter out.

I saw the other two pediatrician there also. I did not like the other female Dr. at all. She brow beat me about wanting to wait to vaccinate my daughter. On another visit, I was having difficulty getting my daughter to drink enough water and asked her what she thought I could do. Her first response was basically that she didn't know, maybe popsicles or take her to the ER for an IV. Really, an IV?!?! No other less invasive ideas for a 1- year-old? Luckily my friends had some much better ideas. Also, since I was in for a sick checkup, and it was near her 12 month checkup time, I asked if they could do both since I knew that there were openings in their schedule that day. They wouldn't let me; they said I would have to bring her back another day since they were billed separately. Apparently they couldn't just bill me for both.

I met with the male Dr. once I think. I actually liked him the best, as he seemed to take his time checking her out and not rushing through everything. I loved the front office staff and the nurses were always great, but I'm looking for a new Dr. for my baby girl and wouldn't recommend Kahala Pediatrics to a friend.…

Best Doctor In Town. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Dezzani. She's so warm and caring. The first time I met her and her staff, I knew my family would always be in good hands. They've always taken such great care of us. My children (ages 3-10) are never afraid to see Dr. Dezzani, Aunty Jean and Aunty Barb. They look forward to seeing everyone there. Mahalo to Kahala Pediatrics!…

Won't find better. As a mother of 3, I know what it takes to be an incredible pediatrician. It took me three doctor's offices before I found Kahala Pediatrics, and I am here to stay. All of the doctors in this office are kind, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable & helpful. The staff is always kind and courteous. The head doctor, Dr. Marni Dezzani believes in treating her patients with compassion, and offers understanding to us parents. She encourages proper nutrition, caring for her patient's long term health, as well as educating us parents. I have gone to this office for annual well-child visits, sick visits, and what turned out to be an emergency visit with my infant daughter. Each and every time, regardless of what doctor we saw, we were treated with the same caring & compassion which is rare to find in such knowledgeable doctors .This is the only office in Honolulu I'd recommend to my best friends, and I trust my children's health wholeheartedly in the hands of Dr. Dezzani and her caring staff.…
