Adaniya Matthew S MD

My experience with Dr. Adaniya has been a wonderful and I have recommended him to several friends. The look and feel is very natural. I have received many compliments since the surgery. I later had a complication — from a trauma. He and his staff worked with me to resolve the problem until I was 100% — this was above and beyond what was required. I’m very appreciative.

I can’t really recommend this doctor. I came to get an emergency issue looked at — and there was no examination of the area whatsoever. I was thankful that I already had a referral to another doctor — I was just waiting to be able to see them, but wanted to get an opinion in the meantime. This visit was a learning experience for me — not to go back.

Here is a portion of the letter I have written to my referring GP, as will be sent to the AMA, Kuakini Hospital, HMAA insurance, and the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.
Use this as a «fly on the wall» view of what happens when you visit Dr Adaniya. I would have given 0 stars if Unilocal would have let me.
Bear in mind — I am a well-​groomed, well mannered professional with a very good insurance plan.

To Whom It May Concern,
I had a very unsettling experience with Dr. Adaniya this morning.
The first we spoke together was to discuss previous surgeries (my surgery from last year, as well as the dirty details of my current problem — not exactly what I want shouted in the public square). The door to his exam room (right next to the reception) was open. I asked if we could shut the door. He refused (!!!). Disrespect for patient privacy wasn’t a good way to start.
He was unprofessional, aloof, and completely disinterested in examining the area of concern. He did not come within 1 – 2 feet of me. He did not even palpate this area, as did my primary doctor. He was unconcerned with what my primary doctor had observed, and his concern for how serious the issue is. Dr. Adaniya did not care to learn about my primary doc’s observations. I had his notes faxed to Dr. Adaniya, and he looked at the paper for, literally, 3 – 5 seconds. He saw the word «cyst» and that was enough for him. «Oh, you have some scar tissue — that’s all» is what he said.
In other words, he treated my primary doctor’s observations with the same degree of contempt and disrespect as he did to me, personally.

Make your own decision, but I would not recommend this man to patch a flat tire, never mind provide medical care.
