Aloha is Amazing!

My son is autistic and we have had a great experience at Aloha. They have “sensory hours” where they adjust the office to be less stimulating/quieter for kids and build in extra time for kids. I really appreciated that experience. I was so nervous about my son going to the dentist but he walked away very happy without any issues which was amazing.

Carla

Aloha Pediatric Dentistry is the absolute best! Everyone in the office goes above and beyond for you!! We have worked with Dr. Ruehe and she is absolutely amazing with our 4 yr old, always so calm and gentle with her and taking time to make sure she feels comfortable. She helped navigate us around some complicated dental work that needed to be done and reassured us every step of the way. We feel so lucky to be working with her and this amazing office!

Just back from another great visit to Aloha. My kids genuinely look forward to going to the dentist, even when there is a treatment planned and not just a cleaning. All the staff are wonderful at putting them at their ease and inspiring interest in keeping their teeth healthy.

The very best! I came to Dr. Katsura’s practice when I was a kid, and I love taking my kids to Aloha now. The care is top notch. My 3yo had the time of his life today. And my 8yo sailed through X-rays, cleaning, and a treatment without complaining. We are so grateful for your care.

My kids have been coming here for 15 years. Their professionalism with a pediatric focus is unsurpassed. Watching the team work together between patients is seamless, efficient and always ensures great hygiene practices. It is a calm, peaceful and cheerful environment. Everyone adjusts their approach based on the age of the patient. They take the time to make everyone (patient and family) feel safe, heard and cared for. My only wish is that they took adult patients. I highly recommend Aloha Pediatric Dentistry.
