He is new to Ali'i and he is very thorough!! On the phone, he took the time to talk to me about the various options we had for care. My poor cat was suffering from multiple ailments at once, so he made sure to thoroughly address them with me one-by-one. He answered my questions and gave me lots of options. Through this conversation, we were able to develop a care plan for her so that she can get back to health.
Mahalo Dr. Gupta!! I am so glad that you are at Ali'i and that you took the time to come up with options to find balance and prioritize care and cost. Read Less
I was a little nervous even though this was just a visit to establish new veterinary care because my cats have only ever been to Kailua Animal Clinic for the entirety of their 7-8 years of life. But the moment that the veterinary technician came out for an initial assessment, any anxiety that I had immediately dissipated. The vet tech was not only personable but went over general health questions related to my cats. I was actually quite surprised that she had even asked about my two boys' recurring issues with UTIs and vomiting and how they were doing now. It was a minor detail but showed that the veterinarian and affiliated staff took the time to go over our medical records and follow-up. Once the initial assessment was done, I helped the vet tech bring in our cats to the lobby and went back to the car to wait. My husband and I waited about thirty minutes, possibly shorter, before Dr. Maureen Rankin came outside to talk to us about our cats, which was another nice surprise since I just assumed Dr. Rankin would give us a call. Like the vet tech who assisted us (whose name I unfortunately cannot recall), Dr. Rankin herself was very personable and you could tell from the way she talked to us that she was passionate about her job. She not only commented on how cute our cats were but were happy to tell us that based on their ages and medical histories, all three cats were healthy, which is always a relief to hear. Dr. Rankin again checked with us to make sure that we did not have any questions or concerns that we wanted to discuss and then told us that our cats would be brought our shortly before heading back in. After a few minutes, our three cats were carried out in their carriers by a staff member including our initial vet tech, another vet tech (?), and Dera, one of their concierge staff who had assisted me with scheduling the appointment and getting set-up as clients.
I did not expect to meet Dera in person just because I can only imagine how busy the staff are at the Kailua location (I know their Kaka'ako location can get quite busy as well) but it was nice to put a face to a name because from the very get-go when she called to follow-up on scheduling an initial appointment, Dera was not only patient with me as I asked questions and wanted to make sure I covered all my bases, but was also forthcoming about information related to appointments, costs, etc. If there was an award for best concierge/front desk staff member, Dera would certainly win it on all accounts because she is just that phenomenal and truly the real MVP of the Ali'i Animal Hospital Kailua location.
Overall, if you are looking for a good veterinary practice on the Windward side, I would highly recommend Ali'i Animal Hospital. As Ali'i Animal Hospital expands their business, it is easy to see why they have been so successful over the years because the customer service and the quality of services provided by their veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and concierge staff is outstanding. With each different interaction I had with the Ali'i Animal Hospital staff, I could tell just how much each of them cared about what they did and the business they were representing. Even my cats who are usually panicked beyond belief whenever we have to visit the vet were surprisingly calm on the way home. The surprise cherry on top? The technicians had even clipped my cats' nails before returning our cats to us and did not charge us a cent. It is always the little details that truly make a difference for clients and their pets and I am excited to see what the future holds for Ali'i Animal Hospital. Read Less

Read MoreThis review is LONG OVERDUE, but Alii is truly the best pet hospital out there. I commute from the West Side just to bring my baby Momo to the best doctors.
We started off with all of our initial appointments with Dr. Yasunaga, when baby girl Momo was only a few weeks old. Dr. Yasunaga is kind, knowledgeable and extremely patient - not with just the dogs, but their pawrents too! I remember asking her a TON of questions since this was my first time taking care of a dog of my own (as in, not my parents'). She reassured me with the kindest voice and took me through every step of what was expected with the growth of my puppy and upcoming appointments.
My breed, the West Highland White Terrier, or westies, for short, are prone to sensitive skin and sensitive tummies. Dr. Yasunaga was kind enough to recommend all of the foods and preferred brands to take care of our baby best.
One scary day, we found Momo next to a box of chewed up match sticks. We called Alii immediately and their expert staff was able to assess the situation over the phone and determine whether or not to come in. After their recommendation, we rushed her to their office and were seen by ER doctor, Dr. Pressler. She was also extremely reassuring and patient with us, even though we felt terrible and scared for Momo. Dr. Pressler informed us of our different options such as X-ray, or surgery, depending on the severity of the situation. Luckily, inducing vomiting was enough and no invasive services were needed. This was something I really appreciated, as every process and explanation was clear, and I was not charged for something that was unnecessary; above all, Momo didn't have to go through any procedure that wasn't needed. All of my questions were reassured and we were supported 100% of the way.
We love coming to Alii and I can't imagine taking her anywhere else. Not only are the receiving staff friendly and helpful, but the vet techs are skilled, informative, and their physicians are beyond talented. I couldn't thank Alii more for all they've done for us and our baby girl Momo. Read Less

The compassion for the animals speaks volumes with their team. My dog has been seeing Dr. Dinstell since he was a pup, and let me say, my dog loves her and her support team! Dr. Dinstell has always provided us with outstanding care and a personal approach. During the pandemic has been hard not being able to be inside during visits. Still, with the amount of personalized care and excellent communication from the concierge to the assistants, I've trusted them, knowing he is in great hands--Mahalo nui to the entire team at Ali'i Animal!

I appreciate ... Read MoreI love Alii Animal in Kailua -- I have always been a fan of its town location that is a doggy resort and veterinarian hospital in Kakaako led by Dr. Joanna Cook. I feel confident bringing my animals here as I know they are honest and true to what is needed for my Doggo and cute cat.
I appreciate the customer service and modern communication offered. I value the knowledge and expertise the staff brings and trust in them for the best advice.
The facility is immaculate and new. Everything has been a very good experience and I even got a complementary nail trim!
Highly recommend this vet in Kailua Read Less
