I switched dentists from one of the local chain dental clinics on Waialae Ave net to McDonalds, after several pretty basic mistakes they had made in dental care. But this r eview is for Dental Day, I have been going here for several years now, and I am constanly impressed with their level of service. they really go the extra mile, super nice and very professional. Example: a few days ago I went in for a replacement of an old filling. I have a high tolerance for the local anesthetic, so every time I heaer the drill, I feel the drill. I discussed this with Dr. Nip and his assistant May Lin (sorry) if misspelled! in advance. Problem solved., Dr nip adjusted the number and composition of lidocaine injections and it worked perfectly. for the first time in my life I heard the drill, but didn't feel the drill lol.
Joanie (sp sorry) at the front desk and DA gee are also awesome!
if you become a patient here you will not only receive great crae, but continuity of care and service, and you'll get to know the wonderful friendly people who work here, something that is absent in the 7 day a week franchise dental clinics.

I’ve had an exceptional experience with Dr. Nip and his team. He is incredibly thorough and patient, taking the time to answer all my questions and explain every step of my care. What truly sets him apart is how he sees the patient as a whole—not just a set of teeth—and emphasizes preventive care to avoid problems before they start. It’s refreshing to be treated by someone who genuinely cares about long-term health and wellness.
His staff are equally wonderful—kind, responsive, and always professional. From scheduling to follow-ups, they make the entire process seamless and comfortable. I feel confident and well-cared for every time I visit.
Highly recommend Dr. Nip to anyone looking for compassionate, comprehensive dental care.

I have 2 small peg teeth, which were each capped with a composite veneer by my pediatric dentist in 2016 and were getting stained and darker than the rest of my teeth. For cosmetic reasons, I came to this clinic to remove those 2 veneers and replace them with porcelain veneers (more durable, longer lasting, with less staining). Dr Mark Kuioka was my dentist for this process.
I can earnestly say that after my time with DDS, I have never before been at a clinic with such dedication to working with the patient, achieving improved results, excellent communication with office staff, and just overall warmth and care! Also, Dr Kuioka was invested in making sure my bite was comfortable and functional By overall, he seems to care deeply that any cosmetic changes made wouldn't be putting your oral functionality or longevity of the change at risk.
Thank you Dr Kuioka, Joannie, Jee, and Mylinh!
Also, although I can't speak much on Dr Nip since dr Kuioka did most of my procedures, Dr Nip did work once on my teeth when I wasn't able to schedule a time with Dr Kuioka, and I felt the same way as above from that visit.

Highly recommend anyone looking for routine dental care as well as aesthetic dentistry to see Dr Nip By I’ve been to see Dr Nip a few times now and he is by far the best dentist I’ve ever established with By his staff is friendly and accommodating and the office itself is surprisingly cozy for a dental office (a setting I wouldn’t typically associate with comfort). Dr Nip himself stands out in that in addition to providing excellent dental care, he is personable, friendly, and shows that he actually cares about his patient’s care.

Dr. Kris Nip and staff joannie, Mylinh, and Jee made me feel comfortable as soon as I entered and throughout my appointments. I was having dental issues and luckily found Dr. Kris Nip. He is easy to talk to and informative from consultation and throughout the entire process of my much needed corrective/preventative dental work. He and his staff kept me literally (blanket and neck pillow) comfrotable during my entire appointments. Made me comfy which is why i feel asleep during the dentla work. Pain and discomfort is subjective but for myself, i was comfortable during the entire appointment. Being realistic because of the extensive work that needed to have and was done, I prepared myself to have discomfort after the numbing wore off. Well, instead, pain for me afterwards was extremely minimal after all my extensive work. Didn't need to for any discomforts but i made myself take a low dose motrin just to help with any anti-inflammatory effects just in case. Dr. Kris Nip is AWESOME as is the entire office staff. I recommend Dr. Kris Nip to all who need an easy to talk to, skillful, knowledgeable, kind, caring, thoughtful, and informative Dentist.
"Getting veneers done with Dr. Kris Nip was a breeze. The process was fast, painless, and left me with a confidently natural smile.

"Couldn't recommend Dr Nip and his team more! My front tooth has been chipped in half since I was a kid, I've had several composite fills over the years to fix it but always felt self conscious with how it looked. Wish I went to Dr Nip sooner because he fixed my tooth with flawless results (it blends so naturally with my other teeth you can't notice!). Thank you Dr Nip & team for being so kind, accommodating, and finally giving me confidence in my smile"
"The staff was great. Particularly Dr. Nip. Cool doc, love his chairside mannerism. Anybody who needs dental work, I highly recommend."
"I've been very conscious of my black triangles on my lower front teeth, especially since during these unprecedented times, I've had to do Zoom conference calls and face in front of a screen talking with other colleagues. Dr. Mark was referred to me and I have never been so glad to have someone able to fix my issue. He is very professional, soft-spoken and genuinely cares about his patients, as he will give you a thorough one on one about any issue that you may have. The staff are also very nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend their service to anyone. My experience has been truly exceptional."
"Just had an appointment with Dr. Mark and it was so nice. It really does have a spa feeling when you walk in. Especially because everyone is so friendly and caring. They really make you feel comfortable and are 'present.' Meaning they really listen and are engaged in your conversation even though time is ticking and they are on a schedule. It's refreshing to have patient care like that!"
"Best dentist experience EVER! I was nervous that I cracked a tooth and decided to schedule an appointment at Dr. Mark's office. I was quite impressed with the reviews and how quickly I was able to schedule an appointment. The location was easy to find and the office validates parking. From the moment I walked into the office I felt so welcomed and cared about! Dr. Mark and his team are so kind, genuine, and knowledgeable. I had two fillings done today and the whole process was smooth and painless (which was great because I was freaking out prior to this appointment!!). I highly recommend Dr. Mark!!!"
"It was 50 years ago since I last saw a dentist, and I remember that experience was a very unpleasant and painful one due to older technology. So you can understand my anxiety when I walked into the office of Dr. Mark Kuioka at the Dental Day Spa of Hawaii, the Specialty Group. I needed some work done on my teeth. Dr. and his staff were very pleasant and made me feel comfortable. They were very knowledgeable and clear as they explained the work they were going to perform on me as they put me in the chair, they constantly made sure that I was comfortable. I even got to watch Netflix movies while they performed their procedures. What dentist office does that? That was so cool and my experience was a very enjoyable one. Dr. Kuioka and his staff had dispelled all my fears of the 'monster needle' and there was no pain. My faith and belief in modern dentistry is restored. A very BIG thank you to Dr. Mark Kuioka and the entire staff of Dental Day Spa of Hawaii, the Specialty Group. I'm a believer!!!"
"I was able to set up an appointment and come in within 24 hours and Dr. Mark and his team helped make sure I was comfortable and did a thorough exam. I'm very satisfied."
"As a type 2 diabetic, I need to see a good dentist every three months. Dr. Kuioka is extremely gentle, considerate, a team player, and courteous to both staff and patients. As a registered nurse, I've observed his excellent technique, conscientiousness, patience, and attention to detail. Recommend Dr. Kuioka very highly."
"Dr. Mark Kuioka is a great dentist and his staff/team are so friendly and make you smile...Dr. Kuioka not only makes your routine check-ups easy and pain-free...he also educates you on the importance of dental hygiene."
