PATIENT REVIEWS

We want to thank Dr. Hook and his staff for our son’s orthodontic care. Our son was congenitally missing one of his canine tooth and had a severe overbite. Dr. Hook was able to straighten out all his teeth and close the gap of the missing canine in a little over a year. The whole process was very smooth and we really appreciate Dr. Hook’s expertise. We are very thankful to Dr. Hook and his staff for taking care of our son. He is one of the best orthodontists in the island and we highly recommend him.

Took my three teenaged sons to see Dr. Hook. Treatment was completed ahead of schedule and we are delighted with the results. The boy’s confidence and self esteem got a boost with their new smiles. Of particular note, is the level of care and “aloha” by all of the staff on the Hook team. I highly recommend Hook Orthodontics!!!!

Dr. Hook is amazing!! So down to earth and honest. They treat you like family here. He was the 2nd opinion on 2 of my children’s ortho plan/care. His assessment met me where I thought we should be and made complete sense. There was no pressure or scare tactics. I’m so glad a friend spoke up when I felt so defeated. Highly recommend Dr. Hook!!

Dr. Hook has a new office in Kailua, Hi. It is around the corner from his old office. Yelp had old office address listed. Nearly impossible to make changes to Yelps info. His new and beautiful office is located: Hook Orthodontics 305 Uluniu # 105 Kailua, Hawaii 96734 This is in addition to : 930 Valkenburgh Street #208 (Moanalua Shopping Center) Hickam Honolulu, Hi. 96818 95-221 Kipapa Drive Mililani, Hi. 96789 (Mililani Shopping Center)

Dr. Hook is great! He is undoing what my former ortho did to my teeth which was traumatizing. If you are unhappy with your current ortho or looking for one to make you smile again, please contact him. He is patient and kind. He will listen and explain everything even though he runs a busy office. He is truly honest, knowledgeable and a great person. I highly recommend him. His three offices are conveniently located for great results.

I am so thankful for Dr. Hook! I brought my daughter in for a free consultation, and left with a wealth of knowledge, a free panoramic X-ray, and peace of mind. Dr. Hook and his staff are very honest, friendly, and thorough. My daughter actually ended up not needing treatment, which was a welcome surprise since I was recommended by another orthodontist what I now recognize as unnecessary overtreatment. He welcomes patients who just need to be monitored at no charge. What a breath of fresh air to know there are still professionals out there who truly put the patient first. I cannot say it enough, but I am truly thankful that we made the appointment here, and I am forever grateful my child has been treated with such respect and care.

Dr. Hook is the absolute best orthodontist! Both my daughter and son have been treated by him. With my son, Dr. Hook saved us thousands of dollars! My nine year old son had a severe cross bite with his front two teeth. Instead of putting on braces and spending thousands, Dr. Hook recommended trying an alternative solution. We paid $100, and my son’s teeth now look amazing! My teenage daughter has had braces with Dr. Hook for two years, and she has done amazing. Did. Hook’s office is military friendly and very accommodating. I would give ten stars if it was possible!

Dr Hook has done wonders for all of my children’s teeth. And not only is he an incredibly skilled orthodontist, he is such a genuinely kind and likable man that I am confident he can put even an anxious child at ease. Thank you Dr. Hook for your hard work, professionalism, and for the gorgeous smiles of my children !!

Dr. Hook is one of the few medical professionals left that are treating as needed and not to pad the pocketbook.  I recently moved to Kailua and my 7 and 8 year old girls were in the middle of Phase I orthodontic care.  I already had my apprehensions about how aggressive the original treatment was and the first orthodontist I went to not only wanted to be more aggressive they conveniently were going to charge exactly double my remaining orthodontic insurance balance (coincidentally copay is 50%!!!)  By the way, the first question they asked was how much of my orthodontic policy was left!!!!  Money is definitely not the driving factor for me so it was more of the lack of ethics behind the quote, and the fact that my girls would have been in braces for the better part of 5 years when it was said and done.  I went to Dr. Hook for a second opinion and he agreed that we were being way too aggressive for the ages of my kids.  No matter what we did the teeth may still need braces when they were older and prolonged braces can actually damage the teeth through tooth resorption, staining, and caries.  So we just had our second appointment to remove the original hardware and he wants to see them back in 4 months……all at NO CHARGE!!!  Amazing guy and business model.  He looks out for patient and not his pocket book.  I understand there are different ways to practice medicine (as I am a veterinarian) and it is hard to always know when it is best to intervene and when not to, but Dr. Hook has the experience and the common sense when to leave well enough alone.  If you are unhappy with the typical railroading discussion of most docs, try Dr. Hook…..he will discuss in depth your concerns and his concerns and TOGETHER the plan will be developed that is right for you or your family member.  The staff is amazing also.  A breath of fresh air that is rare in the medical community!!!!!!!!!!!  Thank you so much!

I cannot express enough how satisfied I am with Dr. Hook! He truly is an honest orthodontist, which unfortunately is soo hard to find!! When it comes to just about anything,  customers look for two major things, quality of work and cost. I entrusted Dr. Hook with my son’s braces after visiting several orthodontists in the area. I was told time and again that invisiline was the only way to go and also came with about a $7,500 price tag (on the lower end). After talking with Dr. Hook, I learned how far more effective traditional braces are and additionally the price was much more reasonable. I decided to trust Dr. Hook and I am very happy I did. The process went exactly the way it was described and the timeframe was nearly exact. The final product, my son’s smile, is phenomenal and I couldn’t be happier! Big Mahalo to Dr. Hook and his team of professionals, you are all amazing!!

I could not be happier with Dr. Hook and the staff at Hook orthodontics. My son came here from the mainland with braces still on, and I was going to pay out of pocket for continued care. Dr. Hook spent over an hour with me, showing me different cases, reviewing articles, even with permission showed me another young patients teeth without braces. With no charge, he removed my son’s “phase one” braces, and as Dr. Hook reassured me 1,000 times, his teeth did fall naturally into place. He is honest, well educated and current on orthodontic trends, will not do un-necessary orthodontic treatment, and his staff is always pleasant.

This office saved my vacation!!! Currently living in Southern California and nearing the end of my orthodontic treatment. I must have lost a rubber band the morning I left for vacation and noticed at the airport that one tooth was unhinged from my wire and had already moved very visibly out of place. As soon as I landed I googled the nearest orthodontist and figured that I would likely be spending our entire first day of vacation searching for someone to fix my problem, and worrying that nobody would help me since I am not a regular patient. Hook Orthodontics was my first and only stop! They saw me immediately, replaced my band, and repositioned the misaligned tooth and wire in less than 5 minutes! They even told me to stop back in if I had any other problems during my vacation. The entire staff was so understanding, and I cannot thank them enough!! I am now able to enjoy beautiful Hawaii without constantly worrying about my orthodontic treatment, and thanks to them I will still be on schedule to get my braces removed this month! I definitely recommend them
to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment in the area, whether you are a resident or a tourist like myself! Thanks again!!!

Dr. Hook is a very knowlegdable orthodontist! He is currently overseeing my daughter’s braces. Him and his staff are extremely friendly and patient. They answered all of our many questions. They accept interest free payment plans or you can pay in full for a 5% discount. They are even in network with Metlife military insurance. I highly recommend Dr. Hook for any braces needs! A+ service.

I came to Dr. Hook’s office to get a second opinion on orthodontic treatment for my two daughters, 7 and 11 years old. We were first referred to Holliday Orthodontics by our then dentist. Upon entering Holliday Orthodontics, I was immediately met with Invisalign marketing all over the office. The staff was friendly but I immediately felt like I was at a car lot being sold to. I was told both my daughters needed orthodontic treatment, phase 1 for my youngest and phase 2 for my oldest, and they pushed Invisalign on me as the best option, to the time of almost $14,000 in 18 months for the both of them. I left in tears and feeling completely overwhelmed. My neighbor recommended getting a second opinion with Dr. Hook and I’m so incredibly thankful that I made that second evaluation appointment with him! Dr. Hook and his staff are incredible! He took one look at my youngest and said she didn’t need phase 1 at all, saving my thousands of dollars right from the start. He is an authorized provider for my insurance and explained to me how that is different than just being a provider that takes my insurance and can ultimately charge whatever they want. Holliday Orthodontics said “Yes, we take your insurance” leading me to believe they were a provider, when in reality they weren’t. Dr. Hook is an old school family orthodontist. He cares about his patients and their families and isn’t in the orthodontic profession to take advantage of his patients financially. He explained the downside and limitations to Invisalign, particularly in children and advised strongly against it for children (a sentiment echoed by my youngest oral surgeon as well.) I’m so thankful to Dr. Hook for the respect and care he has for my daughters and family and I’ll recommend is office a million times over!

The staff here is so friendly. I’ve known Dr. Hook for 4 1/2 years. He’s seen both my daughter’s and he’s absolutely the best! He’s also very professional, affordable, and accommodating. He will go out of his way to make sure anything you need gets done. I highly recommend Dr. Hook for any orthodontic treatment. A+ Service

I was referred to Dr. Hook by a friend while searching for an orthodontist, shortly after moving to the island. From the beginning Dr. Hook was informative and knowledgeable concerning treatment options with my son and daughters. Being active duty military my family and I have moved many times throughout my career and my son had been to several orthodontists. He had braces off and on starting in the third grade, mainly due to what I was told was “a pretty extreme overbite”. We tried nearly every appliance and treatment available, and I spent thousands of dollars in the process. Dr. Hook was able to correct my son’s overbite and whatever issues he had in less than two years, using the existing appliances. My son had his braces off just in time for his Senior year in high school and his teeth look amazing! The most useful tool Dr. Hook possesses are his experience and knowledge. He was honest with me from the beginning and did not try to overcharge me for what he called “simple treatments”.I am still amazed that I spent so much time and money over the years trying to correct my son’s orthodontic issues, yet he was able to correct them in a fraction of the time and for a lot less money. I don’t believe that I could find an orthodontist that practices with such caring and honesty and with such expertise. I highly recommend Dr. Hook, you will be satisfied with your results!

When I was 10 my orthodontist told my mother that a Herbst appliance would fix my overbite, so of course she spent tons of money to pay for it. Fast forward 15 years and my overbite was just as bad, until I came in to Dr. Hook’s. Between his excellent work and the work of the surgeons at Tripler I am on my way to better bite and less overall pain.

The staff here is so friendly. I’ve known Dr. Hook for 4 1/2 years. He’s seen both my daughter’s and he’s absolutely the best! He’s also very professional, affordable, and accommodating. He will go out of his way to make sure anything you need gets done. I highly recommend Dr. Hook for any orthodontic treatment. A+ Service

Dr. Hook and the staff are so knowledgeable and accommodating. I have two kids in different stages of treatment and they have met every need and concern we have had. They have been accommodating when we have had scheduling conflicts and always offer other appointment times, even at other locations, to meet our schedule. This office doesn’t over sell their services. They are honest and upfront with their services and always work for the patient and their needs.  If you want quality orthodontics by a caring and professional staff, this is your place!

While we were in town on vacation my son had a brace pop off on a Friday night. After attempting to clip the wire ourselves (unsuccessfully) we searched for an orthodontist with Saturday hours and found Hook. We took a chance and drove over to see if they could work us in first thing. Not only did they take care of the wire right away, they handled us free of charge. That’s a class act in my book. A++ for customer service.

When taking my oldest kid to the orthodontists office I don’t imagine that it will be warm and fun. BUT… after being greeted by the somewhat scary and mean yet somehow nice receptionist, everything at Hook is warm and fun. Dr Hook really seems to care about the patients- or he’s a really good actor or evil sociopath. He is kind, warm and friendly. He is quick and to the point without ever making us feel rushed. He seems knowledgable and competent… and actually seems as though he loves what he does and maybe even cares about his patients. He almost makes me wish I could get braces too!

Dr. Hook and his staff are so welcoming, professional, honest and highly skilled.  They are the absolute best!  Both of my daughters have received orthodontic care through Dr. Hook and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results.  I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.  They work with you in every way.  Low prices, accommodating, and so patient.  A huge shout out to Lisa, one of his staff, for being the sweetest and gentlest assistants too.  Ask for Lisa!

Rachid Smahi I came to Dr. Hook after a small discussion with a friend about an orthodontist who told me that my daughter who has lower jaw growing much faster than the upper needed to have few teeth removed or a possible surgery to be able to have braces. Once my daughter heard that, She was terrified and left the office crying non stop. Of course I thought if this even worth anymore if to go though all this to get her teeth straight. My friend referred me to Dr.Hook and she said this doctor is great. I was hesitant because I thought another it will be a déja vue, another money maker!!! surgeries, extractions, $7800 braces just like what I heard, and of course quick in and out… I said to myself my friend is usually good about her recommendations and that I should just ty it. When I went to Dr. Hook appointment, We were surprisingly told that she is not ready for braces. That was a good start and he took us to his office to explain why. He started by saying that her lower jaw is growing much faster than the upper and continued to explain to us that if he even put braces and extracted couple teeth, nothing will be fixed unless her jaw stops growing and the problem persists. He then showed many photos of other kids as examples who had the same issue. He even showed us a computer animation of the issue of faster growing jaw to educate us of how the teeth move in her case and obviously convinced us that the only solution is to wait until her lower jaw stops growing. He told us that he was against extracting any teeth just to get it done and that it will be only temporary fix and quit frankly he is not interested in doing for reason to make money as some others do. He has been checking her every year for the last 2.5 years and he thought she needs to wait another 2 years. He is though working with my son and we couldn’t be more grateful for his honest advise. I am sure there are other few orthodontist out there who would be as honest as him but they are hard to find. For my son the charge was much lower than I expected and I was very surprised to pay only $4700 and he explained to me that he is part of an organization that based on my insurance he agrees to cap the charges to make it affordable for parents not to get overwelmed… Dr. Hook and a very kind, patient, and frankly charismatic and cares about people. He takes his time to educate parents and gives them his best and honest professional advise about their children’s teeth condition. He is definitely their not for the money as some other doctors do. BYW, I was bombarded with calls from the previous doctor who wants to charges us $7800 but who know how much more if her lower jaw keeps growing and she has to wear braces for much longer time than expected…But thanks to Dr. Hook’s honest opinion, I never wanted to have anything to do with that previous doctor. I felt it was about the money… Go try Dr. Hook, I am 100% you will be satisfied with his work.

Dr. Hook and his staff are great. I started my ortho treatment many years ago; however, I had to move out of the island and could not continue the treatment. Fast forward 8 years when I move back to the island I decide to go see Dr. Hook again. The staff remembered me and after an examination Dr. Hook made the appropriate recommendations. I decided to start a new treatment and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Hook is very knowledgeable and personable. I would definitely recommend Hook Orthodontics to my friends and family.

Several Months ago, I came to Dr. Hook with my son and daughter for our evaluation regarding braces for them both. My daughter was ready to proceed, but I found out that we would be in our window of moving off the island toward the end of her treatment, so we opted to wait until our next location. My son had a referral to an orthodontist because he was 9 years old, had a supernumerary tooth that had been pulled and his front tooth was not coming down despite the fact that it had been over a year. Our pediatric dentist had referred us to another orthodontist, but I brought Dr. Hook due to your good reviews and proximity to our home. I’m so thankful that we did. Dr. Hook looked at his X-ray, and said that the only thing he needed was the nearest baby tooth removed because it was blocking the front tooth from descending. He wrote a referral back to the pediatric dentist telling him to remove the tooth. Upon receiving the referral, at the appointment to remove the tooth, I was asked why I went with Dr. Hook instead of the orthodontist that they had referred me to, and was told that although Dr. Hook believed the tooth would come down without braces and chains attached, the dentist was doubtful, and was recommending a visit to his preferred orthodontist. I was hesitant, and he also highly suggested I come back in and have the gum lasered to accelerate the descent, followed by reconsidering another orthodontist. I declined the laser cutting of his gum, and instead just waited to see what would happen. My son has two beautiful front teeth now. His tooth fully came down as Dr. Hook predicted. He could have sold us braces, attached chains to the tooth and dragged this process out as invasively and financially expensive as possible, and I wouldn’t have been the wiser. Instead, he honestly gave us the least invasive and cost effective treatment, all at our first consultation. His diagnosis and treatment recommendation were openly questioned by my pediatric dentist, however Dr. Hook was correct. His honesty means so much to me as a mom, and I feel obliged to share my experience with you for other parents in my position. After two pediatric dentists and two oral surgeons telling me that they did not believe that tooth would come down without chains attached, Dr. Hook proved them all wrong, and for that he has my sincere gratitude.

We were really nervous about getting our son braces but he really needed them. We were living on Maui and couldn’t find a recommendation for a good orthodontist so we checked in our hometown of Kailua. Dr. Hook was super patient with us parents and all of our questions.  There were lots of other kids in the office and they all seemed at ease with Dr. Hook. His staff was very friendly and helpful. They scheduled our appointments timely and were very flexible. It also helped that they have an office right by the airport which was very convenient just in case we flew in for a tightening. We love doctor hook and we recommend him to all our family and friends!

Dr Hook is absolutely amazing! We were there on vacation and my 10 year old grandson broke his orthodontic spacer. I found Dr Hook on the internet, and he saw us the same day. He took time to explain various options for treatment to us, and demonstrated his deep knowledge and understanding of current approaches. Thank you Dr Hook! I highly recommend him!
