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. Funai was very thorough about explaining to me why I ended up with Congestive Heart Failure, and how the heart medications that were given to me would help. He is the most sincere and caring Dr I have ever met.. I would definitely recommend someone who has heart failure to go and see him.?????

Dr. Funai at Wilcox, Kauai, is the most caring and intelligent doctor I have ever visited; he knows how to explain things to you and I get the impression that he really truly does care about me. I've been to 4 other cardiologists in FL and CA over the years and he is the BEST.

Dr. Funai is an outstanding doctor, cardiologist and person. I had to move off of Kauai after 8 1/2 years, and I have to say that leaving Dr Funai's care was a great loss to me. I have a pretty complicated set of four decade+ old conditions, and he dealt with them better than any other cardiologist I have ever been able to find. He not only is excellent at listening to the patient, but his ongoing knowledge and retention of each patient's specific situation and needs is really unprecedented in my experience, and I have worked with a tremendous number of doctors working with mine and my daughters' rare diseases. I also really appreciate that he stays current with medical research and medication development, as this is really valuable to all of his patients. I only wish that I had become his patient earlier on!

Dr. Fungi was very thorough. He took the time to explain my test results, the condition I was diagnosed with and what to expect in the future. He was very open to questions both at the visit and in the future. I highly recommend him.
