I've had three root canals by Dr. Chun. During the filling of the canal, Dr Chun applied extreme pressure causing prolonged burning pain in a tooth when treatment was nearly complete. He was angry that I had been ten minutes late for my appointment and refused to do the two root canals scheduled within a one-hour time slot--because I was ten minutes late. (I had come from my general dentist's office cross town and flown in from a neighbor island to get both root canals and crowns done in two days.)He refused to talk with me to allow me to explain that if he did not complete two root canals, I would not be able to do the crowns on those teeth while on O'ahu. After my general dentist intervened, I returned day two for the second root canal. However, the first root canal took a full hour, the second, 45 minutes. So even if I had not been ten minutes late, he could not have completed two root canals in one hour time slot. He admitted he had been "pushing it" in schduling two treatments in one hour-but he gave me a tongue lashing for being late. His practice seems exclusively money-driven, packing in as many patients as possible in a day. I would never go back to him and would not recommend him to anyone. Lacks compassion and humanity.

About Front Desk: woman at the front desk is polite, but has been trained like robot to repeat the party line. I asked to speak with the doctor to explain that I could not fly back again to do the second root canal. She smiled and maintained the road block. I was not allowed to speak with the doctor until I agreed to do half the work and was sitting in the chair. When I then tried to explain Dr. Kimo Chun became very angry, even hostile and confrontational. I've never had a doctor/dentist be so unprofessional. He completed the work the next day after my general dentist intervened, but I will never go back to that office and I urge others who do go to make sure that he's scheduled enough time to complete the work and does not have to rush through--or turn the tables on you if he can't complete the work.
