Dr. Ben is kind and sweet and gentle and I always feel like I get great care there. Would highly recommend to others!

The staff and Doctor Mead are always pleasant and very professional. Makes it easier having dental appointments as just the thought of going to the dentist can make you nervous. Lol


Diane M, Laupahoehoe

Professional, yet relaxing, friendly atmosphere. Felt welcoming the minute I arrived. Joanne did a thorough cleaning and assessment before Dr. Mead followed up with a review of current and previous X-rays and further assessment. It all went smoothly and professionally.

Dr. Mead is great. Instead of just saying this is what we will do he presents options. Of course he recommends a course of action but I get to make an informed decision. The staff is also very friendly and efficient. Thanks to Dr. Mead and his staff I no longer dread walking into the dentist.

We travel from Puna side because my kids absolutely Love and Trust Dr. Mead. It’s Always a Great experience.

Josh yang , Paauilo

I like this dentist and hygienist. They are very competent and very friendly. The front office is nice, also.


Lauren, Honokaa

My first visit to Orchid Dental on a referral from a friend. The hygienist (Joanne) took care of me first & took the time to explain everything she was doing & why. She did her cleaning with an ultrasonic scaler & hand scaled some areas. The dentist (Dr. Mead) was very thorough & answered all my questions & even took a second look at an area I thought needed to be looked at. Both had a gentle touch & made my experience (1st appt post-pandemic!) very pleasant! The front desk provided me estimates on the follow up procedures that were recommended & was able to schedule the subsequent appointments on the spot & print everything out for me. I was impressed by the courtesy & professionalism of the whole staff!


Dave Smith, Wait

Apart from an Insurance issue which they rectified, HMSA was at fault, my visit was flawless. Joanne is my go to hygienist but I had to rebook because of my insurance and Lindsey filled in superbly. Dr. Mead answered all my questions and made me feel Comfortable with my transition from my pervious dentist!


jo k, paauilo

dr mead has soft hands a quick touch! understands dental pain! the staff is funny courteous and very human.

Pres H., Honokaa

Very friendly professional staff. I personally needed emergency surgery which couldn’t be done without work being done & clearance by Dr. Mead. He came in on his day off with a staff member and got all needed dental procedures done in a day. Forever Grateful which words can’t express. Very friendly family environment and staff…


Hana L., Kamuela

Dr. mead is the best! Everyone in the office is always so nice.


Cynthia Sallee-Brown, Paauilo

The hygienist was very personable with good conversation. Her work was thorough.


Kimberly E. , Waikoloa

Like a lot of people I have not had my teeth cleaned in at least two years: work, pandemic etc… I was nervous. I received a full exam, cleaning with consultation - pain free, timely and enjoyable. The front desk staff is amazing, organized and genuinely friendly. Lindsey, my hygienist is gentle, kind, knowledgeable and informative. Dr. Mead is easy to talk with; patient with my questions and conversation. He went over all my imaging, addressing any concerns. I would go back for a 3 month cleaning if my insurance would cover it! Thank you so much ~ so good to have Orchid Isle Dental on island.


Annette L, Kailua Kona

I continue to drive all the way from Kona just to have my teeth examined by Dr. Mead and cleaned by JoAnne. They are amazing and take great pride in their work. The ladies in the office are very friendly and helpful. I really appreciate how all the staff makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. Mahalo nui loa Dr. Mead and Team.

Lucy, Honoka’a

I have been lucky to be treated by Dr Mead and his team several times. Dr Mead is a talented, compassionate dentist who uses all the current technologies to make your experience actually pleasant. His assistants are welcoming and also up to date with current crown 3D printing technology. Crown preparation and placement takes place in less than two hours, the patient relaxing for the majority of the visit. The entire office has views of the ocean, is sparkling clean, and has a new air filtration system to minimize virus transmission. Best dental experience ever.


Robert B., Honokaa

The only way that Orchid Isle Dental could surpass their standards is to offer free beer and hot dogs after each appointment!!!


Daria G., Ookala

My appt w/Lindsey for a 6 month cleaning was both enjoyable and informative.


Tia P, Papaikou

i LOVE it here…EVERYONE is super nice and professional…EXCELLENT with children…Definitely would recommend this place for all, keiki to adults!!!…


DArcie B, Honokaa

Friendly staff, thorough cleaning!


Ruth B, Honokaa

I was really impressed with the attention to detail that both the hygienist and dentist had and they are really great with nervous anxious patients. The only reason for not giving them a fifth star is that they don’t take the type of dental insurance that most mainland dentists will take. If they did there would be five stars.


Erin G., Pahoa

I showed up really late but they were still willing to see me! The dental hygienist was so kind and friendly and makes me feel comforted and nurtured. Dr Meade is a great dentist and very understanding and reassuring. I plan to keep going to Orchid Isle for a long time to come!


Paula S, Keaau

Always friendly , from receptionist to hygienist to Dr Meade. Not a fan of going to the dentist office but this office is different and I don’t mind going at all and we drive 1 1/2 to our appointments.


Monica O, Paauilo

Love the staff, hygienist, and dentist ?? Wonderful day at the dental office for the family! Mahalo Orchid Dental!


Ronny T, Honokaa

Appointment was great! Just too many appointment reminders!! Phone calls, email and text messages!! Plus the text message gave me two different appointment times which was different from my appointment card I got.


Jackie H, Honokaa

No long wait times. Pleasant staff at front desk, dental assistants and dentist. Good bedside manner. Patient. Take their time to explain dental needs to you. Highly recommend.


Kalae, Kamuela

Awesome service got us in at the last minute.


Derrick Billena, Hilo

Everyone I interacted with for my appointment was and is always wonderful! Lindsey who cleaned my teeth, Dr. Mead who examined and made great suggestion to keep on track with my treatment plans. Shontell who processed my payment and made my future appointments! I enjoyed my appointment and look forward to my conitinued care with Orchid Isle Dental!!!


GW, Kamuela

Orchid Isle is hands down one of the most professional establishments on the island. From receptionists, dental hygienists and Dr Mead, A+ care from the moment you walk through the front door. Lucky to have such a wonderful dental practice on our island.

Luke, M

Great service and awesome staff! Mahalo Dr. Mead and team!


Ka’imilani O., Kamuela

My daughter is 4 years old. I have taken her to other dentists where she has refused to open her mouth and cried the whole time. In fact, the last time I took her was February 2022. I was surprised at how well she reacted to Joann and Dr. Mead at our recent visit in June 2022. Just 4 months ago she wouldn’t let anyone near her. But at Orchid Isle Dental my daughter was able to sit nicely by herself, take 6+ X-rays of her teeth, let Dr. Mead conduct his exam, and do a full cleaning without crying or fighting. She was very good at following directions as well. Definitely not what I was expecting from her. It was clear that she felt comfortable and happy with staff and it turned what is usually a terrifying and traumatizing experience into one that she now enjoys. Thank you!!!


Juliet P., Honokaa

Great Job!


Gary Todd, Honoka’a

Both the dentist and hygienist were excellent.


David Chai, Honokaa

Daphnie A, Paauilo

My hygienist was so personable and relatable; which made me very relaxed. She did an awesome job of gently doing x-rays and cleaning of my teeth. Dr. Mead answered questions that I had and explained what my x-rays showed. I also loved that they have this device to help scan for signs of cancer in your mouth. The ladies in the front office are very friendly and helpful. I always see them smiling. Orchid Isle Dental has a very professional and relaxed environment that I appreciate.

Dorothy Bell, Kamuela

Dr Scott is the best and the staff is great. I recommend them to anyone.


Keith Kropf, Laupahoehoe

Always have had pleasant experiences at Orchid Isle Dental. My dental hygienist has always been gentle and very thorough. My teeth feel so much cleaner and smooth when I leave. I’ve gotten thorough exams from the hygienist, who thoroughly describes anything she sees. And both Dr. Mead and Dr. Nakahara have been great - gentle, thorough and friendly. I have well used, well cared for teeth, I have had 6 month checkups for about 60 years (since I have had teeth), have a mouthful of fillings I attribute to lack of fluoride when young. I’ve been to at least 10 dental clinics in my life (moved a lot), I’ve always asked around to find the best dentist before trying a new clinic. I rate Orchid Isle as one of the very best I’ve ever had.


Diana D, Paauilo

Everyone is so kind, friendly and professional. I always feel comfortable and know I’m been treated well. Thank you all so much.

Jody Cootey, Kamuela

Everything was great Lindsey was amazing


Ashley D, Hilo

Absolute best dentist on island! I’ve been to more than a dozen dentists as a child & adult here on the Big Island over the last 35 years and both Dr. Mead & Dr. Nakahara including all staff are skilled, knowledgeable, professional, polite, thorough, and caring towards your oral health. I was having debilitating tooth pain/headache for days and could not find a dentist in Hilo who would see me until months in the future (besides walk in a Bay Clinic, which I’ve had terrible experiences with because they’re the only clinic that takes Quest Insurance). I walked in to inquire about treatment and they squeezed me in that day. I’ve had no pain or problems with my extractions years ago. Dentists and staff goes above and beyond their call of duty to educate you of your oral health. My gratitude towards Orchid Isle Dental goes beyond the stars! There’s no other dentist I would go to or recommend. When you find the best you keep it, no matter the cost or drive time :) Mahalo, Ashley D


Kaylene T., Honokaa

Georgia K, Honokaa, Hi

The professionalism and friendliness of the the staff is outstanding. Dr. Nakahara and his assistant is very honest and straight forward on what needs to be done. The work they’ve done so far is outstanding and love the fact that it is only a few minutes away from home. Wait time is a second to none. ??????

I actually enjoy having my teeth cleaned by Joanne, the dental hygienist at Orchid Isle. Both she and Dr. Meade are genuinely kind and caring professionals. They’re also extremely knowledgeable and willingly share tips on keeping your mouth/teeth healthy. I highly recommend this team of dental professionals.

EVERYONE at Orchid Isle is AWESOME. I have no regrets switching my boys over, they love to go to the dentist now. Both Dr. Nakahara and Dr. Mead has been so awesome and patient with my kids, especially the older one who would cry in the beginning because he had a bad experience before.
