Erik K TinHan

Used this orthodontist while stationed in HI. Was very nice until it came time for us to leave. The last year we were there he promised and promised that the next visit would be when my daughter got her braces off and every time we went back, there was a new staff person who insisted that we change bands. It finally got down to our final month in HI and we requested that the braces be removed as we had already paid this guy and didn’t have the money to continue on in the mainland. He made me sign a document stating that it was due to my daughter’s refusal to follow their instructions even though she religiously did what they asked before he would take them off. Seemed strange that he kept changing staff until he yelled at me to sign that document. Very UNPROFESSIONAL. Not sure why he insisted on that statement unless he just was covering his behind. Obviously, he didnt stay up on what they were doing as we went back and forth on different bands. Downright hateful man! If you are military, avoid this guy!

Great orthodontist and a really great staff. Every month when I visit, it really isn’t bad. I actually enjoy the visit. Dr. Tinhan also likes good music and plays a great selection to enjoy while waiting or when you’re getting your wires tightened. The office has gone through some changes, but everything is always for the better. The payment plan for the braces were affordable and very easy to make. I recommend to anyone who is looking for braces.

best orthodontist in hawaii! he really cares about his patients and the staff is really sweet! he is very good about answering my lil girls questions and always asking her if she has questions or concerns! polite and a great doctor! i recommend him to all! he is the best!

Dr. TinHan is a wonderful orthodontist. He and his staff are always friendly and helpful! Usually get in and out of the office for check-​ups in less than 15 – 20 minutes. I get my questions and concerns answered in plain-​english terms.
When I find I have conflicts with an appointment, they are flexible in re-​scheduling. If you have orthodontist needs, look no further!

Dr. Erik TinHan is my new orthodonist by referral of Jennifer Sasada, DDS. Dr. Tinhan and his staff are very knowledgable professionals. The entire process was explained, in full, from beginning to the end with regard to my questions and concerns while under his orthodontic care. I’ve also heard from others that he comes highly recommeneded and carries excellent credentials from education, training, and professional affiliations. I’m one happy customer!

Dr. TinHan does not double book. Repeat, DOES NOT DOUBLE BOOK. On the mainland I took my daughter to a dentist where the average wait time for a simple 15 minute adjustment was 2 hours, due to the fact that he had about 8 chairs of people, along with another queue in the room, along with another queue in the outer waiting room.
But this doc is different. The appointment took 30 minutes, fully used, during which Dr. TinHan thoroughly explained things like the fact that my kid is missing a grownup tooth (no one had pointed that out before) and how we shouldn’t let anyone pull it out; the role of bones in the mouth; the development of teeth; and finished it by saying we should wait 6 months and see if her teeth dropped on their own before doing more orthodontia. Now I feel like I had some kind of tooth class.
He also works in Hawaii Kai sometimes, including an occasional Saturday, which is where we saw him.
