Access Medical Clinics

This was a good experience. Had to go twice in one day due to school stuff for our son. Didnt have to wait terribly long either time and the doctor on staff was good. Pricing was not crazy and they do accept some insurances.

I should have heeded Lilly B’s unintentional warning that she gave when she said this place was closing early but they stayed open for her. She said that was worth 5 stars. For what staying open during normal business hours? Should have put 2 and 2 together. Drove all the way from way up Makakilo drive to get to this place at 6:45 P.M. and it was closed.
So I thought to myself should have seen that one coming and I will call next time. So the next day I actually called to make sure they were still open and they said they were and when I showed up they were CLOSED!!! Burn me once shame on you burn me twice shame on me.

There is no question that this is a terrific treatment alternative when you don’t have an urgent or serious medical condition. I have gone to the Ewa Beach Access Medical Clinical several times and received treatment comparable to what I would have received from my PCP. And there’s very little (if any) wait! I truly appreciate the convenience of it.
On my last visit, though, I was disappointed by what occurred. I went in for a cold that had persisted for several days. My primary symptom was coughing, which was the reason I went into the clinic… to try to manage the coughing because it was keeping me from sleeping.
So, the PA prescribed a cough medicine. I start taking it that same day. Two days later, I’m still coughing just as much and it’s now been several days that I haven’t been able to sleep. I called the clinic in hopes of getitng a medication that could help with both my coughing and sleep. The PA told me that the medicine he prescribed takes FOUR days to take effect! And since I had only been taking the medication for two days, I just needed to keep taking it and wait for it to work!
There are a couple of things that frustrated me about this circumstance. First, I wasn’t told that I was being prescribed a medication that took DAYS to work. Second, when I called it didn’t matter that the medication prescribed me was not what I had originally seen the doctor for… and I was essentialy told you just need to tolerate your symptoms until the medicine starts working.
If I go back to the clinic, I will be sure to ask specific questions about the medications I’m prescribed. I’m still not feeling any better than when I went to the clinic three days ago. It’s disappointing.

I really enjoyed seeing Dr. Kubo when I had acute problems. I was seeing him at another practice, and I was informed that he also practiced at the Access Medical Clinic in Longs in Ewa Beach. I was saddened when I went here because I was told that he no longer works at this location (even though his name is all over the place still). If I had seen Dr. Kubo on my visits here, I would have probably given 5 stars.
I’ve been to this location 2 times. I’ve been able to walk-​in and be seen within an hour which was very convenient. I have had my prescriptions filled at the Longs next to the clinic, and I was told it would take about 10 – 15 minutes to fill. Both times I waited over an hour for my prescription to be filled. I like that the clinic is closes late, but that also means it opens later too (guess we can’t have it all!).
I did feel that I was properly diagnosed– but the times that I went I saw 2 different doctors and I felt really uncomfortable with both of them. The doctors that I did see were very unpleasant, rude, and at times sarcastic. They seemed like they didn’t want to be there. Its hard to say if I’d return or not because its so convenient (I doubt it). I would return if Dr. Kubo was working there, but I feel like the doctors there try to belittle you, and are arrogant.
If you are in need of a quick fix (colds, etc.) and you work until after 5 this is a convenient place to stop in and get looked at, just don’t expect a friendly and empathetic doctor. Also, you may want to plan to shop around in Longs, or run over to Starbucks, as your prescription may take a while to be filled.

Ohhh myyyy God I was seriously OUT OF IT… I started off with a non productive cough… cough cough… cough cough… I just started working night shifts so I thought my first night… well, maybe my body was pissed off about the switcheroo… didn’t think much of it and went to sleep after work…
Then night 2… cough cough… and night 3… cough cough cough… now a productive cough with sticky yellow/​green mucous… YUCK!!! Now I haven’t gone in to see a doctor in over 6 years… yessirrr you read that right, 6 years! I usually ‘tough it out’… but with this cough, mucous, congestion, headache, post nasal drip, fatigue, body aches, and fever, did I mention the fever from hell that just WOULD NOT BREAK?! Good Lord!!!
Soooo Daddy made me go to the doctor. I usually go to Access Medical in Mililani, but they were BOOKED for the rest of the night. Now how the heck does a WALK IN clinic get booked!!! Yes, I am still sitting here twiddling my thumbs tryna figure that one out. Ahem…
Sooooo Daddy made me call Ewa… and lo and behold… no patients! They were actually going to close early but they stayed open waiting for me… 5 stars RIGHT THERE!
My BF drove me to Ewa… and we were greeted by a friendly female receptionist and a friendly male doctor. I was seen right away (did a little chit chat about my symptoms, listened to heart and lungs, took my vitals) and he diagnosed me with bronchitis. Visit was over in 10 minutes! Paid my tab, got my prescription slips, and was on my way to the pharmacy.
FAST, FRIENDLY, EXCEPTIONAL experience from start to finish. FIVE STARS!!! Dr. Todd Kubo is awweessoomee!!! He actually did my physical for me in Mililani… I remembered him! (he said he was covering for a PA in Ewa)… just my luck he was working that night… GREAT DOC!!!
Got my meds and went home to take em, eat, and zzzzzzzzzzzzz…
GO TO ACCESS MEDICAL if you want awesome docs and a positive medical experience!

On a vacation on Oahu with our four year old and our Japanese au pair, and our four year old unfortunately been complaining of her eating her earlier in the day. We were heading to stay in Ko Olina so I quickly jumped on Unilocal and found Tiffany Y’s review of Access Medical Clinics so decided to stop by.
To be honest, I was first taken a bit aback that this clinic is located in Long’s Drugs… but the physician’s assistant that saw her was extremely sweet with children and the receptionist was friendly. Then the side benefit that this is located in Long’s comes into play since we were able to fill her prescription there since she did unforutnately have an ear infection (side note: the pharamacists were so extremely friendly and I was shocked that our prescription was ready in ten minutes).
If you have a minor ailment, I would definitely recommend heading here.

My primary provider is smart – he doesn’t schedule same day appointments for people who suddenly wants an appointment for a small cold, need a doctor’s note, or just wants to talk story with him. This is another way for him to keep his clinic flowing instead of being constantly interrupted from the hypochondriacs. I love that provider. He is the bomb diggity. It is ingenious and what is more ingenious is urgent care clinics that are made specifically for these type of doctors or individuals that just needs something quick.
So…by truly making sure that his patients are taken care of, he has suggested to his patients that need immediate attention but not necessarily the emergency room… he suggested Access Medical Care (locations are in Ewa Town Center and Mililani, I think).
Yesterday, I went there because my ear was bothering me for the past few weeks but yesterday morning it hurt like someone thought my ear was a pencil sharpener because it felt like someone stabbed me in the ear (I know, I know… graphic, yes?)
My only disappointment was that their hours are from 12:00pm-8:00pm. The location is convenient because it is in the Longs Drugs Store next to the pharmacy in the Ewa Town Center.
I left my house at 10 till 1200. Walked into the office and noticed a man a head of me (darn). But, YES! I was the 2^nd patient seen. Thank goodness I came at that time because shortly after there were several families that came in afterwards.
There is only one admin staff and one provider. The visit is normally 20 – 30 minutes. If the providers prescribes medication, you can pick it up at the pharmacy of your choice.
I believe they accept all medical insurance and if you do not have medical insurance, there is a fee that you must pay up front after the visit. (Note: Physicals are $ 68 up front if you have no insurance)
If you want your provider to be aware of your visit, they will fax over your notes after receiving your permission.
Because this is a «urgent care clinic or acute care clinic» I do not recommend that you use this as your primary medical care especially if you are the type of person who only goes to the doctor as your last resort.
Nevertheless, I do recommend that you use Access Medical Clinic as a clinic if you have a simple medical problem (cold, flu, need a physical), a prescription and doctor’s note.
