Waimea Smiles

I had the best experience here. I called about a painful toothache and they got me in the next day! It was my first time there and I felt so welcome. Both Gladys and Dr Marine were so kind and answered all of my questions with patience and empathy. It felt as if they truly cared about me as a patient and wanted to get me better. I was even given a blanket as it was a bit chilly. Thank you so much to all the wonderful women who work at Waimea smiles, I recommend this office to anyone wanting an amazing and trustworthy dental experience.

At my recent new patient appointment, I discovered that this office expects to provide a considerably wider range of service than I am used to receiving from a dentist, need from a dentist, or am willing to pay for. Following my xrays and teeth cleaning (which were done well), I was told that my actual exam by the dentist would require a separate second appointment, and would also include a "comprehesive" evaluation of my head and neck. I have never had these extra services, and an entire separate appointment, included in any other first visit to a dentist that I can recall. I asked how much of this might be covered by insurance, and didn't get an answer. I asked if the dentist could just check my teeth and gums that day, as I was expecting, and they declined. So I didn't book the second apppointment. If you schedule an appointment here, just be certain that you understand what will be included, and what the costs will be.

Fantastic in all areas! Dr. Miyasato and of her staff are the best. Having moved to the area six months ago I had to select a dentist and I'm pretty sure I picked the best one. She has and uses all of the most modern technology in dental care. I would recommend Dr. Miyasato to anyone needing dental care by true professionals!

They are the BEST! Professional, prompt, helpful... couldn't ask for a better dentist or a better staff. Everyone is wonderful!

Everything was great, thank you

My dental hygienist was Skippy. I did X-rays and a cleaning. She was really good at letting me know what to expect and took lots of care while working with me. I have very sensitive teeth and she offered a numbing gel, free of charge. She also checked in on me every time she had to do something she thought might irritate my gums. You can tell the worker here really care about the patient as a whole, not just getting teeth cleaned.

Dr. Leesa is the absolute best dentist. Meticulous, focused, kind and friendly! The office staff are very well trained and efficient, as are the dental hygienists. They also have been doing a great job to follow protocols for Covid. I have had a ton of dental work in my life and I very highly recommend this practice.

Very happy with the services received and thoroughly enjoy all the employees. Very good precautions taken for Covid.

My first time to see Dr. Leesa Miyasato. Leesa is so kind and took the time to thoroughly explain what she was doing and why. I had a full exam. I haven't been to a dentist in a while and recently moved to Waimea from Oahu. I am so glad to have found her! Everyone I met today are very kind and friendly and made me feel so welcomed! I quickly felt so comfortable. I highly recommend Waimea Smiles for your dental needs!! They're awesome!

Received exceptional care at Waimea Smiles! From the receptionist to the Dental assistants to the dental hygienist to Dr Alex Spivak they are all top notch, skilled, caring and highly attentive. Would highly recommend Waimea smiles for your dental care!

Sweet office staff and Dr. Alex is always concerned with your comfort and understanding of what is going on.

Great dentist. Moved here from Portland, worried about finding good dentist. No worries: Dr Miyasato is first-rate. Has latest technology (including Cerecs) and does thorough work. Alsom good hygiene staff. Strongly recommend.

Dr. Leeza and her team are the BEST!!! I just left her office. I have had many bad experiences with many other dentists. I will NEVER go to another dentist! Top drawer all the way!!!

Dr. Miyasato gives the least painful shots I've ever had! Everyone is super friendly and professional. The office is immaculate!

After moving North from Kona I was a bit concerned about finding a dentist closer to home. Over the last couple of years I’ve had a chance to see just about everyone, Dr. Miyasato, Dr. Spivak, my Hygienist Tiffany and all of the support staff. Each of them have gone out of their way to answer all of my questions and provide me with the best dental care possible. Really grateful to have found this group.

Waimea Smiles' staff and doctors are beyond exceptional, caring, kind and professional. I worked with Dr. Alex Spivak who is amazing. I came to Waimea Smiles with some pretty tough issues. Work I'd had done on the mainland, had to be completely redone. Dr. Spivak led me through the four month ordeal with aloha, always mindful of my mental, emotional and physical state. (I was very nervous around dentists). The staff is very kind and supportive and I can't say enough of how painless and easy the whole thing was. I will always be grateful to you, Alex (as he has his patients call him, (Dr. Alex). Thank you to Dr. Miyasato for finding this exceptional man and for the beautiful office (healing space) you've created. I will forever be grateful.

Hygienist, Tiffany Thank you so much she is so awesome!!! Like going to her most gentle hygienist and she explain all details what they have to work on. I hope I get her again, Thank you!!! And I met new Dr. can’t believe I forgot his name. So friendly and smiley, I hate to say all your staffs are greatest. And Paula front desk thank you she is so helpful, with quotes and setting up appointments. Thank you !!!

This visit was a routine cleaning. Got a thumbs up on my personal hygiene. Always a great experience when I go there. Got a blanket cause I was cold, fell asleep couple of times. Don't know how they can work with patients like me, who relax too much, while they work hard to care for my teeth. Much Aloha and Mahalo to Waimea Smiles for keeping my teeth healthy!

If I could give more stars I would!! No one likes the dentist, but Waimea Smiles was amazing. Everyone there was beyond friendly, and genuinely cared about me. It was such a personal experience. I can’t express enough how amazing everyone was. Tiffany was my hygienist, and she was great. She was so friendly, so personable, and made sure I was ok and comfortable throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Waimea Smiles to anyone. You won’t be disappointed!!

I’ve been going to Dr. Miyasato for at least 25 years, which says a lot. She and her staff are professional and caring, and are always willing to listen to any questions or concerns I might have.
