We just had our third wonderful experience at KVMH. We have delivered two babies here and cannot recommend enough. The L&D nurses are so hardworking and caring and all the OB's are wonderful. In addition, we unfortunately had to bring one child in to ER and a four days stay here and we were in such good hands it felt. We drive from Kapaa to here bc its such good care.

Best emergency experience I’ve ever had~! Very prompt, I didn’t have to wait in the lobby at all and went straight inside, the staff was so friendly and kind including the gift shop staff, it was so comfortable I didn’t even have to change into a gown, it wasn’t too cold, the layout of the rooms were very practical despite it being temporary, when I pressed the button for assistance they actually come very quickly, and they actually diagnosed me with an actual problem that Wilcox failed to catch a year ago~ They are better than Wilcox in every way including what I mentioned~ Would love to go there for my primary care instead of Wilcox~ This is Liesel Rudolfo, diagnosed with a kidney stone on May 27, and I was very glad to have been under your care Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital~!

The Same Day Surgery staff provided me with so much care, comfort and compassion. I cannot express how grateful I am as they were so kind, friendly and very thorough with exams, informing me of procedures….and in a nut shell…they really were one of the best medical staff I have ever interacted with. I am happy to have had my procedure done at KVMH. I highly recommend their Same Day surgery facility as the staff made my experience very pleasant.

My experiences at the clinic and the hospital have been top tier. My family was worried that when we moved here we would not have good medical care, but the care is far and above any we have ever received elsewhere. I am so blessed to have such good and caring people working with us. They are thorough, caring, straight forward and use state of the art equipment. Thank you for all you do!
