Diniega Leticia G, MD

She’s brilliant. The best OBGYN on the island. She knows her stuff & she’s strict! Because she cares! Don’t be offended when she says you need to be a certain weight because it’s absolutely correct. I lost 76lbs with Dr D supporting me. Obesity causes many complications whether you’re pregnant or NOT. If she didn’t care she would allow you to continue to hurt your body. No sugar coating anything! Bottom line is if you want a Doctor who is VERY responsible, on top of things, and brilliant, then come to her.

Bad service! My sister was standing in line to check in the receptionist just sat there. When we walked in no one greeted us! Worst service ever!

Dr. Diniega has been my doctor since early 2000 and I am so happy that I found her. Her and her staff are very efficient with excellent follow-​through.
I am very vocal and will ask a lot of questions which I always get the answers I need to ease my mind. I like that she is very straight forward. I appreciate that personality trait especially with all my inquiries about pregnancy, labor, miscarriage, etc.

My opinion changed when I scheduled a visit about a concern I had. All I got was a 2 minute meeting where it seems like she blew off my concern. No info or insight about why I felt the way I did. I spent more time with her assistant discussing how I felt. Considering a different OB.

Hands down the best OB/​GYN on the island, especially if you have a high risk pregnancy. A labor and delivery nurse referred me to her, telling me that she demands the best from her staff, the hospital staff, and knows her stuff inside and out.
Truth is, she’s not bubbly and cuddly, but she’s not cold or uncaring either. She’s actually very warm and cares very much for each patient — and their babies. She’s definitely not the kind of doctor who will meditate with you and sing «Kumbaya» while you labor in a pool of organic mineral water and essential oils. If that’s the kind of doctor you’re looking for, keep meditating. Dr. D isn’t that kind of doctor. But, if you want the best damn OB/​GYN on the island, then she’s the doc for you. She may come off as rushed at times because she’s busy. Very busy. She’s very busy because she’s the best. But she will make sure that you and your baby are doing well, and are getting the care you both need. She’s super smart, dedicated to her profession and her patients, and she’s very intuitive.
My pregnancy was very high risk. At 28 weeks, I was admitted to Kapiolani for observation because my son’s heart rate would frequently drop. Had Dr. D (and the staff at FDIP) not been paying such close attention, this might have been missed. After about a week in the hospital, the doctors at the hospital told me they thought baby would be fine, and they said I could probably go home. Dr. D said no. She felt that something just wasn’t right and she wanted to keep me for at least another day or two. Good thing. That night, our son went into extreme distress and I was told I needed an emergency c-​section, at 3am on a Sunday morning. I was terrified, but when Dr. D walked in (at 3am on a Sunday morning!), she was calm, collected, and put me at ease. (Plus, she gave me the tiniest, neatest little scar that you can’t even see unless you know what to look for. Even the postpartum nurses were impressed!)
I would never have known something was wrong with our baby had I been at home. A few days after he was born, the lab results came back and determined that had we waited even one more day, our son would have most likely been stillborn.
Her staff is also awesome. They are always pleasant and welcoming. They filled out all the documents I needed for work very quickly, and they always got back to me either with Dr. D on the phone, or with her response to my message. The were always genuinely concerned when something didn’t seem quite right. When I go back for follow ups, they always ask about my son and really care about how he’s doing. I always found Dr. D to be very responsive — even when I was in the hospital, when she could have just sent a message through another doctor or nurse, she called me in my room, or stopped by to update me throughout the day.
Bottom line — if you have a high risk pregnancy, or even just a normal pregnancy and you want the best doctor caring for you — Dr. Diniega is who you want!

Dr. Diniega has the worst bedside manners. She has a cold personality. Definitely the worst doctor I have ever encountered. Perhaps she is different with colleagues, but as a patient… oh my. Don’t go to her. I wish my PCP never recommended me to her.
Does not follow up with you & even though you leave messages with her staff, somehow the message doesn’t get to her or she just doesn’t care to talk to her patients. So sad.

Dr. Diniega is one of best OBGYNs on the island of Oahu. She is all heart and willing to discuss any default problems that’s going on and usually some of the pass OBGYNs I had in the pass will only check for infections and do a HCG test and all they told me was that’s all I can do for you which isn’t enough if your having serious issues with your body.

Dr. Diniega has been my OBGYN for the last 8 years and she just delivered my first child a few weeks ago! Overall I am very happy with my treatment from Dr. Diniega but if you are looking for a OBGYN there are a few things to take into consideration.
Dr. is very good, and so very busy. If you want to be cuddled and walked thru everything, she may not be the best for you. If you just need someone for your annual appointments, she is great, quick and efficient, just what I wanted at the time. When i got pregnant I felt like she just gave me enough information to get thru where I was in my pregnancy but not so much that I would freak out with info overload. At the time I felt like it was too little info but looking back I realized it worked out. During my labor and delivery I saw just how much she is respected at Kapiolani Hospital and just how much she knows her stuff. She brought me thru a high risk delivery and I am so thankful to Dr. Diniega for my beautiful, healthy daughter!

So hi! This lady is now on my shit list! I visited her back in March (after waiting for 2months for an opening). I really wanted to get a PCOS work up, some funky ass things were happening to my body and after reading most of the signs for PCOS i just went to her to get a annual exam and blood test. I waited longer in her waiting area than the appt its self. She didnt really ask me anything, i probably wasnt in the room for more than 5mins. She didnt even give a sh*t that my MAIN concern was why i was there. Actually, i told her i really want her to check for PCOS and she said «you dont have PCOS, just come back when you are ready to start a family» wtf?!
Fast foward to October, i get recommended from a friend to see Dr. Dao at Queens bc hes the «best». Already feeling discouraged, i made the appt and dragged myself to Queens to see him, and guess what?! he did a blood test on me and i have PCOS! he went over the levels and hormone count with me. I though with Dr. Diniega, i lucked out be she had great reviews and she was right down the street from my work but shes a joke!

I havent had a OB in forever but recently decided to become a new patient with their Waipahu office. BAsically after having my tubes tied back in 1993 I never really continued my yearly check ups or any regular exams since then but needed to find a doctor due to some medical issues I was having. Over the years I’ve had some bad experiences and always had an excuse to avoid getting check ups however, finding Dr Diniega was a true blessing.
My compliments to her staff for always being friendly and never making you sit in the office waiting forever to be seen. I have never been used to the office staff being on top of things and making the effort to contact me with test results or friendly appointment reminders. I have always had to do all the work. So Kudos and great job to her Waipahu staff…
And last but not least «major Stars» for Dr Diniega for making me feel so compfortable as a new patient, explaing things clearly and keeping the positive attitude during examinations. She is the best by far and am so glad to have her as my doctor…

Great doctor! Friendly, funny, well-​educated, and cares about her patients! What more could you ask for?

Dr. Diniega came as a recommendation and it was a good one! I was impressed with her skills on my first visit and that opinion hasn’t changed. She also was teaching a student doctor on one visit. She must be an outstanding teacher also, because I was very impressed with how she instructed and encouraged the student. Plus, she understands how to do an almost pain-​free exam. That earns her really BIG stars in my book. The office in Waipahu is very busy with a small waiting room, so don’t bring people with you, and leave the little ones with a care-​giver. Parking is at a premium, so allow extra time in case you have to wait on someone to leave their spot. Those small issues are worth any annoyance to have such a wonderful, caring gynecologist. High recommend.

Dr Diniega is THE most awesome OB/​GYN on the island! We moved here in April of 2011 and within 1 week I was pregnant! Being from the mainland I was looking to find a small, private practice provider to see me through my high-​risk pregnancy and c-​section. I went through the hospital’s «outpatient clinic» at first because I was told that they were the best. NO… Not for me. I know my body, my pain, my previous deliveries… They treated me like I was a fool. I was always so sad when I left them. I finally went into Dr Diniega’s office at 8 months along and asked if they would see me. Her staff is wonderful! Dr Diniega got me in the very next week and she was TOTALLY AWESOME! She knows her stuff! She is kind and I was so happy with her I cried! She delivered our beautiful girl via c-​section and everything went great. I SO recommend Dr Diniega to ANY woman for pregnancy or regular GYN care. I wish I didn’t wait so long to switch to her, I would have had less stress during my pregnancy! Thank you Dr Diniega and staff!
