Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Kurohara from the day he became my doctor he has always took the time to listen to my concerns and respected my decisions of treatments and desires. I never felt rushed out of his office or not having my questions answered. He is very thorough in finding answers and treatments. He has been my doctor since he started in Hilo and I will not be looking for any other doctors. I am very comfortable and feel really safe with having him as my doctor.Thank you Dr. Kevin Kurohara

Over and Beyond
As an RN in the community, Ive worked with Dr Kurohara on many cases. He is concerned, caring and allows the patients to talk. He has also gone out of his way and bought a meal for a client or assisted in trying to find missing medications when the situation is extremely serious.

As a long-time patient of Dr. Kurohara, I have the utmost respect for his technical skills, knowledge, and professionalism. I trust him to make critical decisions regarding my health and appreciate his ability to communicate as my physician as well as a friend. I have very high regard for his diagnostic skills and his ability to ask the right questions which lead to good results. I owe my continued good health to the routine physicals and patient-doctor conversations that keep me on track and healthy. Besides being a good doctor, Dr. Kurohara is a good man. The staff that supports his medical group also deserve high marks for professionalism and being so nice. This "small town" medical practice sets a high bar for all medical providers and businesses in general.

My family has been with Dr. Kevin Kurohara over 25 years. HE IS FAMILY. He goes above and beyond what any other Dr. will do. He is the reason our daughter is alive today. He was so compassionate when my parents were on hospice. I developed a condition that causes me unbearable pain and although there is no cure he takes the time to listen to me and tries his best to comfort me. His staff is very caring too. Thank you Dr. Kurohara for all the care you have given my family over the years. We love you to death GOD BLESS YOU !!!!
