Staff has been excellent from front desk to the nurse and doctor. Thank you.

Dr. Puapong and his care team were very professional, informative, and trusting. They gave us the reassurance that our son was in good hands. We are very thankful for their help before, during, and after our son's surgery.

The appointment was very efficient. We checked in and did not wait long to see the doctor. It was probably the most efficient appointment we have ever had. Dr. Puapong was really great with our child. He made her feel comfortable and made us (parents) feel at ease about her upcoming surgery. We hope to get her surgery done soon (waiting to hear her surgery date) so that we no longer have to worry about the "what ifs." We loved our experience at Kapiolani, and we are feeling so grateful that our child will be having her surgery done there with Dr. Puapong.

It was a quick, straight to the point visit. All questions answered in a professional manner. The staff were all very welcoming and courteous.

overall experience is awesome. this was the first time i was asked to come in early and then we had to wait over an hour to be seen. it defeated the phone call to come in early. the dr and staff are super supportive

Excellent service and care from Dr Puapong and his staff, from making an appointment to his compassion for my daughter's care prior to surgery.

The burn team was amazing with my daughter. I was grateful for the OT and the other woman (sorry can't recall what they called it "child life"?) who distracted and comforted my daughter while the doctor treated her burn. They exceeded my expectations in every way.
