Straub – Kaneohe Family Health Center

A friend recommended that we interview Dr. Lynn Yanagihara as a pediatrician while I was pregnant with my first child. After our interview, both my husband and I knew that we found our pediatrician. I can’t say enough about Dr. Lynn and her staff. From the day we became parents to now, Dr. Lynn has been there for any questions or concerns we have. Including calls when we are traveling.
I had such great care at Straub Kaneohe, I decided to also look into the other doctors there. Dr. Ronnie Texeira is a wonderful OBGYN and I had an amazing pregnancy and natural birth delivery with my second child. I also traveled during the later half of my pregnancy and she prepared me with proper paperwork and instructions while traveling. This did not happen with my other OBGYN during my first pregnancy. The front desk is great. They always find a way to fit me in if I need an appointment for a sick child that day. I also love that the staff lets me know if they are running behind and if the wait is going to long. What makes me coming back to Straub Kaneohe even though we have moved out of Kaneohe is the whole team there. The front desk staff, assistants and doctors really care for the patients.

I have been bringing my mother here for the past 4 years and it has gone from bad to worse. Lately with a scheduled appointment we wait at least 45 min to 1 hour. Today we waited 1 ½ hours. Our appt was for 2:30 and didn’t go back till 4:00. Who knows how long we will wait now that we have been put in a room to wait. Dr. Jose many times is clueless and it’s usually a disappointment to me but my mom likes her because she’s nice LOL… Oh well there’s my review… Avoid the place if you can. Unless you are looking for someone nice and want to watch an entire movie on your phone/​tablet while you wait

I love this clinic. I been going to this clinic since I was a baby. Dr. Lynn was my pediatrician along with all of my siblings lol. And their kids see her as well. And mine will too when I give birth in June. My OB is Dr. Texeira. She’s amazing. And my primary now is Dr. Matsukawa. He’s great too! All the docs here are amazing. And the nurses too.
I never had a negative experience here. Even though I live in Kapolei and Manoa, I will never change doctors because I love it here so much.

I wasn’t feeling well this morning, so I checked my Unilocal app to see what time Straub opened in the Windward Mall. I didn’t feel like driving to town to see my regular doctor and the parking is free and plentiful here in Kaneohe!
At 8am, I called, waited on the phone for about 15 minutes and made an appointment for 8:45am. Service was efficient and pleasant. Mel checked me in and walked me to Dr. Kubo’s waiting area. Robin took my vital signs and asked about my symptoms. I was feeling cold from the strong air conditioner, and before I could ask, Robin offered me a blanket! GREAT service! Very intuitive!
Dr. Kubo was spot on. He listened to my concerns with good eye contact, empathy, and appropriate facial expressions, gestures, and responses. He was very confident and reassuring with good sense of humor and excellent bedside manner.
I would come back to this facility for sure. They are organized, clean, and compassionate. I am so grateful that I could be seen today on such short notice and with almost no wait — that’s a lot for a busy Saturday morning! Thank you, Straub, Dr. Kubo, Mel, and Robin!

I love Straub Kaneohe! I have been coming here since I was born and I now take my daughter here. Lynn Yanagihara is an awesome pediatrician. She was my pediatrician from day 1 and is now my daughter’s. My daughter loves her, the assistants, and all of the nurses. They are gentle, kind, and so friendly. Appointments are highly recommended but if you have something last minute, they will try to accommodate you as best as possible.

Had the Flu for a week and was no betta so my lovely wife called them this morning and they got me in at 6 TONIGHT. Had Dr. Gillian Shaw. What a sweet Lady mid 50s and very knowledgeable. My wife is a nurse and always goes with me because I’m just not that quick by the time I’ve put off going for so long. She was very impressed from beginning to end. Office Lady, so nice! Nurse, so nice! For those that gripe about waiting. Suck it up, that’s the way life is sometimes especially with medical appointments. So convenient in Windward Mall !

I’ve been coming here for years & they are usually pretty efficient, but the past two times I came I have waited over 45 minutes to see my doctor. When I finally get in the room, I am in there for all of 10 minutes. Not sure what’s going on.

I am not a huge fan of the Straub system but this clinic really is good. Getting an appointment generally is not difficult. You can usually be seen in a day or two… often times even that day. They actually answer the phone here right away and they are always kind and courteous. The ladies at the front are SUPER nice. They are so helpful and friendly. I really like that they actually walk you to your doctor’s office if you aren’t sure where you are going.
I have seen a number of doctor’s here and only one has disappointed and this was years ago. I did not care for Dr. Jose. She was not very friendly and her bedside manner left a lot to be desired. Dr. Lee is great as is another man I have seen there (I totally am drawing a blank on his name). The nurses there are so wonderful! They too escort you to the lab (or anywhere else you need to go) if necessary. How cool is that???
I am a little bummed that they don’t have their walk in urgent care there but it doesn’t change my impression of the staff there. They truly are great!

Dr. Yanagihara is a great pediatrician! Sometimes it can get busy, especially on a Saturday but she is so caring and always nice. You can really tell that she genuinely cares for and loves children.

i like my doctors here. :)
even though it takes a while for you to get seen, the wait is worth it to get some «one-​on-​one» time with your doc. they make time to answer the tons of questions i have.
the receptionists are super friendly and always check me in pretty quickly.
thank goodness straub always calls several days ahead to remind me of upcoming appointments.
