Employee Reviews

Great Culture Pros:Lots of opportunities for growth in technical as well as leadership abilities. People from different offices including admin spend time to meet and learn from you. This is very rare. Cons:If you want to work for a dentist who works 4 days per week, this isnt for you. But I like the stability in the hours. Advice to Management:Continue to speak with all employees.

Great work environment I absolutely loved & miss working here. Everyone is encouraged to share their ideas on how to make our workload more efficient. Everyone is celebrated and encouraged to grow.

HFDC Kona is "okay" and can get better Almost every single operatory will be in use, so if being busy is your thing then this is the place to be. The doctors and hygienets are amazing always willing to train and educate their team. Certain executives from corporate are amazing in reinforcing and supporting their team's potential. Hardest thing about working here is having dental assistants do their part in shared duties. It's never easy to have to ask someone to do their job when you share the same job title. I'd come back and work their again if the dental assistant team was stronger. Pros: Great doctors, hygienets, and benefits. Cons: Enforcement of job duties.

Great culture Pros:Coworkers are some of the best you'll find. It's a large dental company but the admin team visits our offices to talk to the team members. They promote ethical dentistry and patient care. Our dentists are great and treat us well. Cons:Pay doesn't match up to specialty office but you have a lot of support from your team, manager, and other departments.

Great Office Pros:I loved the work environment, and the pace of how the office flowed was always smooth and kept me busy. Cons:Just like any job that deals with "customer service" we have our good days and bad days.

Fun Workplace Job is secured in this company. I love the management and the culture. All task are easy and theres no stress working here. Work life balance. I love this company

N/a Pros:Normal job and normal pay Cons:Everything was pretty normal for me

Awesome Company Pros:Best staff and environment! Wonderful opportunities Cons:Saturday Schedule have by to rotate Advice to Management:None

Great mission and team Pros:team mates are supportive, hardworking, fun to be around. Great pay and benefits. Cons:Sometimes hard to find people with the same worth ethic and values. Advice to Management:Keep looking for people who are willing/open to learn from others, who have a positive attitude.

Best work enviroment! Co-workers relationship is the best I have experienced working in a big office. Everyone gets what needs to be done but we are able to have fun! love the spontaneous coffee/donut days! We also have fun pizza parties!

Hawaii Family Dental is a fun place to work all thanks to the people I am here with 🙂 Hawaii family Dental has been the best job I have worked for so far in my job journey. I feel very comfortable and appreciated in this office, and can see myself being here for a long time. All of the people I work with are amazing and very caring. Benefits are great, and they do what they can to make sure you are happy with the work schedule that you need. Our boss does what she can to show us her appreciation by taking us out to do fun things around the island. I love that with this job you can only go up from where you start, there is always so many opportunities to move up and forward in this office. I have learned so much more about dental that I didn't know in just one short year of working here. This will be home for a long time and I am excited to spend many years in this office 🙂
Pros Free teeth cleanings
Cons nothing bad to say

Warm culture with lots of support I've learned a lot about insurance processes in this role. It's a lot of information in the beginning, but it's not difficult work. Management gave me great support in my training, and my coworkers provide lots of additional help when needed. The hardest part of my job is managing the different spinning plates...this is definitely a role that requires strong organization and time management skills. The most enjoyable part of my job is the little details that make everyone else's work easier. I love working with the patient's and easing their anxieties. I love supporting my team and making their day go smoothly. The one thing I would change is the requirement to use PTO on holidays that the office is closed. In my mind, I wish that was optional, as I would choose to work most holidays in an effort to save that PTO for time when I specifically request off. Otherwise, the company benefits, particularly the employee dental plan, are great and satisfactory.

Great Place to Work I've been working at HFD for a few months now and everyone from the staff, management and patients have been very welcoming and supportive during my time here. Everyday I'm learning something new about the dental field and how to better assist our patients and team. The job does get challenging at times, but the team has been there every step of the way to help me through it.
Pros great team work
Cons high work load

The most rewarding job I have ever had! I completely love my job and position and so thankful that I found this company. HFDC has given me the opportunity to grow from within. They trained and supported me along the way as well. I have now been with the company for 8 years that I feel a sense of loyalty with them!I have built my own team here at HFDC and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome!

Growth Opportunity I’ve been with Hawaii Family Dental for 8 years and have been able to grow within the company. Tons of room for advancement and opportunity! Glad to be apart of an amazing team.

Terrific Team - Will pitch in and help whenever and wherever it's needed Pros:Stable job, plenty of opportunities to learn and advance your career. The team is terrific; my co-workers and manager is supportive and will help wherever is needed. I get the right amount of feedback to do my job. Cons:None that come to mind!

AMAZING Co-Workers and Company Hawaii Family Dental has a great culture that fosters growth and collaboration. Everyone is HAPPY to help each other out and there are opportunities to grow and further your career! Almost all of the managers started as a dental assistant or front desk position which is amazing because they have so much knowledge to share. The most enjoyable thing about coming to work is the people I get to work with everyday!

Team Work, benefits, great team Enjoy being able to help people. Team work is the dream work when it works.

Great people The people by far is what stands out at Hawaii Family Dental. Everyone is willing to help you and is committed to doing good work. I feel supported by my peers and have an opportunity to learn new things.
Pros great benefits and stable schedules

exciting, growing DSO A rapidly growing company led by a gifted CEO. There are many challenges but a great chance to learn. Practicing on an island has a lot of challenges and you need to be creative to overcome them.

Very great The coworkers were great loved going to work everyday I enjoyed what I did while I was there. I did a lot of filing, organizing, office planning which I enjoy and the people and environment was fun and friendly.

Productive I enjoy working here, it is somewhere that you are constantly learning and can always have new experiences. The people you work with are always willing to help, and it gives the weekends off as well.

Teamwork is a major part of this company Hawaii Family Dental believes in teamwork. That is the greatest aspect of the company. The doctors and dental assistant are amazing. The front staff works very hard to make sure things are in order for a patients visit. Which puts them in overload for what is required. I believe if some of the way the front is ran could be changed the office as a whole would improve. I do appreciate the opportunity that was given and the awesome staff I was graced with. I will forever remember and love HFDC.
Pros Great gatherings to celebrate birthdays and births
Cons Not a true interest in the employees

Supportive and fun Hawaii Family Dental is a great place to work! It is the perfect blend of family and business. There are lots of locations though out the state. I was actually recommended to HFD by a friend that works at a different location. It is nice to know my friend loved her job enough to refer me. Working at a Dental Center is great if you need to get work done on your teeth too!! I feel like I am making a difference in the community.
Pros good training, lunch, good coworkers, promotions
Cons Traffic is hit or miss

Former Employee Benefits, Co-workers, and Dr's are what made me love being there. Great benefits and 401k package. Management can improve. More listening to how employees feel and they'll be able to maintain employees. Overall, it's a great company to work for.
Pros Benefits
Cons Management

Fun and family oriented work environment This company has been by far the best company I've worked for. When I first started everyone was very patient and are willing to teach. It's also a family oriented work place so everyone that you work with becomes like family, also everyone treats each other with respect. They stand by you, help you learn, and are willing to do all they can for you to achieve your goals as an employee. There is no better place!
Pros Paid Holidays, Advancement opportunities

Advancing in the Workplace Workplace culture is something we take with pride. Not only are the patients are the priority, but the Operations Manager and Head Doctor lead in creating a growing environment for all team members.
Pros free lunches and training
