Hawaii Kai Veterinary Clinic Honolulu, Hawaii

Our dog had his first seizure today and we were very traumatized and frightened. We took him to Hawaii Kai Vet Clinic and Dr. Makato Sakamoto was so amazing! He reassured us and helped us feel more relaxed with the whole situation. He was very kind and had answers to all of our questions and concerns. He told us so much helpful information and even printed out an article on dogs with seizures for us to read while we waited. He really helped us relax and be at ease through the whole ordeal. Thank you Dr. Sakamoto!

This Vet Clinic was amazing and a lot more affordable than I expected. Love that they have appointments on the weekend and I was able to get one right away. Because of COVID I wasn’t allowed inside the clinic but the doc called me and explained everything over the phone—he said that my cats incision didn’t properly heal after his neuter surgery (done elsewhere) but what I’m seeing now wasn’t an infection but rather a scab and nothing to worry about—he said we could do antibiotics to speed things up but since kitty didn’t have a fever or any signs of discomfort he said it should only be another week or so for it to heal on its own—I really appreciated that they didn’t push me to get costly treatments. Mahalo!

The doctors and staff at Hawaii Kai Veterinary provide the best care, a high level of professional skills coupled with unparalleled compassion and excellent communication. They have always gone out of their way to find solutions for our pets, including not hesitating to consult with specialists when needed,. We would not take our pets anywhere else. .

Dr Sakamoto takes good care of her patients! She was happy to show us how to clean our puppy’s ears. She didn’t have to, but it had such a lasting impact on us. Doesn’t matter where on the island we move. We will drive all the way to Hawaii Kai Vet!

I have two dogs and I feel both are very well cared for by all of the staff of Hawai'i Kai Vet Clinic.

Dr. Ako kept us informed at the start of every procedure. From evaluation to post surgery recovery. A very skilled surgeon. KITKAT had no lingering after effects. Our next appointment with Dr. Ako will be in a week to remove sutures.

Four Stars because they have the BEST vet on the island there named Dr. Eric Ako. (He is a TEN STAR Vet in a one start facility) He owned his own clinic in Kahala, but closed up and partnered with this clinic. He's the ONLY person you should see for your Bird, Cat, or Dog. (Other than him....service sux...and it's Hawaii Kai prices) ~ Ask for Dr. Ako... Fair, Honest, and extremely KNOWLEDGEABLE.

I parked my car in front of the building

While I like the attention this clinic gave my elder dog, the fact that they wouldn't call in the medications that were prescribed to an online pet pharmacy for medications that are necessary for his care at this time of his life make it difficult to give them a hearty recommendation. Disappointed in this one aspect, which to me is important as I take care of my pet. Instead, I have to mail the prescription in, which will take about two weeks turn around. Of course, I can have them fill it, but the cost there is prohibitive. Not satsified.

Went in for an allergy specialist and saw Dr. Westermeyer. She was super awesome and very informative on solutions to help my pup with her skin. My pup came back extremely happy which was awesome since she loathes vet visits. If you need an allergy specialist, I'd 13/10 recommend her. She does also work out of a vet in Wahiawa as well too which can be convenient if you live west side.

Its convenient and they care about pets however it is way overpriced

Dr Ako was very funny and friendly but straight forward with what might be the reason for our blue & gold macaw to be sick. So glad that we brought our baby in.

Storm love doctor kaya. We had Dr. kaya before and we trust him in My” grand child” storm’s care. Office people are nice and friendly .

Kind, pet loving professionals. I brought my 8 year old Auzzie in because of a sore paw. 1 week later he's as good as new! Pleasantly surprised by the affordable rates.

Dr. Ako is an avian specialist

Cheaper than all pet stores. Great customer service and its always clean.

They have such an amazing staff there. Dr. Ong is one of the best vets I’ve had. She always takes the time to explain every thing and a reasoning behind it. I feel like my pet is in the best hands on the island. I trust them a lot.

Dr. Kaya and his staff are incredible! Always available to answer any questions I have! Love Dr. Kaya!!

Curbside pickup is fast and convenient

Our 2 Poms see Dr. Kaya and he is suuuuper sweet, professional, knowledgeable, kind and 100% cares about his furry patients. From start to finish, the staff is friendly and service so great. Erin A.( vet tech) and Dr. Lee Loy (vet) are amazing as well. Kind, friendly , super knowledgeable and total animal lovers as well! I truly feel I can put my trust in Dr. Kaya and his staff for taking good care of my fur babies.

I am so pleased with Dr. Lee Loy. She helped me to care for my cat Annie for over a year before Annie was put to sleep. Annie was 22 years old. She had a great life with me and I will miss her a lot but the care and patience I got from Dr. Lee Loy and the staff at the Clinic will never be forgotten. I highly recommend them not just for great medical care for my cat but also for the kindness whenever I visited.

Even though they were closing early due to an issue with the building they made time to see my puppy and trimmed both of my dogs nails with no problems. My little guy has issues with back, legs and attitude from being very inbred and has been hurt by groomers, vet techs and veterinarians. His nails grow twice as fast and will cause him more problems not kept short. With all that said I am so happy.

Excellent Doctors & Staff. Very knowledgeable & treat their customers well. Highly recommend.

Dr. Ako was a great help puzzling out what was going on with our cat, Napoleon.

Docs are good listeners. Detailed support & advice too!

Very kind Vets and staff!! Took very good care of my cat!

Dr Sakamoto is the bomb! Our lil man bootsie hasn't been feeling himself since the start of summer. We've been taking him to his usual vet since we got him 3 years ago but his symptoms worsened so we decided to take him to another vet for a 2nd opinion. She openly discussed his options with us. She is very compassionate and honest. From one Healthcare professional to another, that's really all you ask and you can't put a dollar value on that. The staff is friendly and accommodating as well ;) Update: So we have been visiting Dr Sakamoto and recently Dr Ong and Dr Kaya since Bootsie has been dx with his autoimmune disease and he is a happy dog as long as he is on his medications. We do some tweaking here and there based on his symptoms but overall he is doing great! Yay for Bootsie!

Ann Sakamoto and her staff have been extremely kind and very professional when it comes to the welfare of my pets. I recently had one of my pets pass and they definitely showed heartfelt concerns and made it as pleasant of an experience as possible. I highly recommend her and her staff for your pets needs!

So glad Dr. Ako is still nearby...was worried when I saw his practice closed! What a relief!

Dr Kaya and his staff are wonderful! Very caring and compassionate towards both us and our fur babies. We drive almost an hour to take our pets here because of their knowledgeable experienced vets and amazing staff!
