Dr. Hellsen is a wonderful holistic vet. She has helped my dog, Shaka, recover quickly from a serious health crisis. She uses acupuncture and Chinese herbs and a customized diet. Her focus is root cause resolution, working from an understanding of how to assess and strengthen and balance my dog’s constitution. Shaka has come to trust her and can relax and accept the needles. I’m very grateful to have found her, as this is how I have managed my health my whole life and it has worked very well for me. She is clearly both knowledgeable and kind and caring. Not only is Shaka back to acting like a healthy 3 year old dog, but her lab results confirm that she has responded beautifully to the treatment. My prayers were answered when I was afraid for Shaka’s life!

Scheduled an appointment for our dog to be fixed. They required a check prior to fixing. At the time of the check up the vet wanted to do extensive blood and liver work since our pet had liver issues at birth that has since been resolved. The issue was she was unwilling to accept the results from blood work performed by our other vet just 3 months ago. She first recommended additional testing which was odd because it wouldn't change anything about the procedure. We both work in the medical field and she was unwilling to intellectually explain her reasonings for this. However, it was only recommended, so we declined and asked for her to call us if she had anything else she wanted to discuss but we'd keep our original date for fixing our puppy. 2 weeks later we called the last business day before her scheduled fixing date and we're informed that the vet had canceled our visit. When we spoke to the manager, he said we emailed you rather than called but we have no email. We asked him to describe the reason for cancellation and he just said they wanted to do over 5 different panels of testing before they'd fix our puppy. Let's be very clear here. 1. The vet was unqualified and lacked basic communication skills. 2. Canceling an appointment after being verified and having no record and not being able to be shown any record of this is unprofessional. 3. Trying to excessively charge for basic surgeries by requiring 5 different test is insane all of which wouldn't change the outcome of the procedure. AVIOD AT ALL COST! SCAMMERS

Maui calls to a variety of people, no small number of them dog owners. The process is neither simple, nor inexpensive, but it assures your animal is in top health when joining the island population. Karen and the team at Kihei Veterinary Clinic made this process run as smooth as silk. The value lies in the preparation and process-guidance assistance provided. With Karen's help, the complex process back East as well as interaction with the state of Hawaii went off without issue. I had all my paperwork ready for the friendly folks at Hawaiian Airlines who spirited Liam The Dog away with great care. LTD was with Karen before I even had my suitcases! Cheers to Hawaiian Airlines and Karen H. from Kihei Veterinary Clinic!!! One last comment: folks, note that all this was done days before the novel coronavirus drove the shut-down and quarantine periods - AND - it was all accomplished with the appropriate PPE before anyone was told they should use it. Well done folks, well done.

This vet clinic has been around for quite some time and has lived up to its reputation as being a hospital institution to bring your pets. The techs were knowledgeable and the doctor was super nice. One star off as I felt the general examination wasn't as thorough as I would have liked. Overall a good experience.
