Kahala Dentistry

My siblings and I have been using her service for years! She and her staff make us feel like we're family. I'm always happy to be sick - hahha- because I get to see them. What kind of child is happy to see the doctor?! I'm glad we switched to Kahala Pediatrics. Perhaps the other low-star reviews are true, but doctors get stressed. Throughout the years, Dezzani has shown to be really caring - taking time to talk me through some personal problems when I was younger. I'm past my teen girl years already but would rather go to her than my new doctor, hahhaha. more

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. more

I had an early issue regarding the MMR vaccine and was told by Dr. Dezzani that is is customary and okay to split the vaccines apart. After doing further research, I found no scientitific literature to support this advise. Moreover, the MMR and Dr. Wakefields gross improprieties makes me more angry that she did not do her duty/homework/research. If I get cancer, should I go off a known scientifically based protocol? Was she just trying to smooze me and my kid? The Sear's book if totally wrong. I spoke with an infectious disease expert who alleviated all my fears with information that was air tight. Shame on Dr. Dezzani... more

Good: We love the staff. Everyone from Aunty Barb to Aunty Jean and Dr Dezzani and Dr Ho always makes us feel so at ease. They are warm and caring and listen not only to the parents but also the kids.. more

Dr. Dezzani is a great pediatrician. She knows her stuff, her diagnoses are right on target. She doesn't shove antibiotics at everything, which I love. She makes sure that the kids understand what is going on, and she takes her time. She makes them feel like they are the most important person on the planet. I have never felt like we were run through the "assembly line". When my youngest had a seizure, in a department store, Dr. Dezzani was our first call, as we were rushing her to the hospital. The ER doc and Dr. Dezzani discussed her care together. I was a basket case, but I was confident that she was getting the best possible care. Dr. Dezzani is an intelligent and caring doctor who puts her patients first! She listens. That's huge! She listens to the kids, as well as the parents. We recommend her to everyone we know. THANK YOU DR. DEZZANI!!! more

Dr Dezzani and her staff are the best thing to happen adolescent medicine. I'm a physician who only trusts Kahala Pediatrics to take care of my family medical needs. more

They "broke the mold" after Dr. Dezzani’s graduation. A friend referred us to her, and she truly is one of a kind. The situation I sought assistance in was alarming to me and could have been quite serious, if not for the thoroughness of Dr. Dezzani. The knowledge and clinical expertise that she demonstrated while reviewing my son's problems and advising me was impressive. Dr. Dezzani was able to not only answer my questions in a forthright manner, but she had a manner about her that really set my mind at ease. Her staff are the icing on the cake, and reflective of the doctor's style of practice, certainly a model for other pediatricians. As a former health advocate, I'd recommend Dr. Dezzani before any other pediatrician. more

I can say with confidence that Dr. Dezzani and the staff at Kahala Pediatrics make one the best pediatric offices in all of Hawaii. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they really know how to not only keep your child at ease, but also the parents as well. They have all proven to be highly educated and contain a wealth of experience in the medical field by keeping on top of all the latest in medical news and processes. The facilities are beautiful, warm, and inviting; which has made the whole experience of taking a trip to see the doctors absolutely wonderful. I encourage all parents to consider this office when looking for a pediatrician. more

Although the staff is exceptional, the doctors are subpar and dangerous. The nurses are smart, courteous, and know their job well! The receptionist is pleasant and efficient. The 3 doctors I encountered while my child was a patient there were all of low calibre. The lead doctor gave my child "samples" of lotion containing highly allergenic nut oils. This was suppose to ease the child's skin rashes? Made no sense. Another doctor attempted to diagnose my child based on another patient's charts. And, the third doctor lacked confidence; he seemed afraid to be there. Also, the facilities were old, unkept, and out-dated. If it weren't for the location being so convenient, I wouldn't have selected them initially. Luckily, more (much more competent) pediatricians have come to our area! more

At Kahala Pediatrics you can be assured that you will receive careful attention and great service. Although the office is small, it is a great place to send children just because the staff is always willing to go beyond what is called for to make sure your child is taken care of. The rooms are nice and clean. All in all, I can't say enough good things about Kahala Pediatrics-anyone who's looking for a pediatrician for their children should definitely consider this one. more

Dr. Marni Dezanni at Kahala Pediatrics is a great doctor who is easy to talk to and a good listener. When I was interviewing Pediatricians for my first born I was impressed on how she listened & responded to my concerns regarding vaccinations. She is up to date on current issues & doesn't over-prescribe antibiotics. Her office staff is top notch & my daughter's love for the doctors office is a reflection of that. The office will always fit in a sick child & makes follow-up calls. I really feel well taken care of by Dr. Dezanni & her staff at Kahala Pediatrics. more
