Kapolei pet hospital in Kapolei has a Japanese vet.
I think there are some in the Waikiki area, but the only one I know of is in Kapolei.
I don't know what a reasonable price is, so I can't answer your question.
We are in a care club at VCA, so vaccinations and such are free
I don't know what the market price is. I don't know what it costs.

I believe Aina Haina Pet Hospital has a Japanese director
. I heard him on the radio once.

Thanks for your comments and additional information.


Mr. A

Thanks for the update information.
I registered online immediately, and it looks like I will have my credit card in hand within 10 days
I see that I can also register for monthly payments before they arrive.
I have time to make next month's HOA payment, so I will wait for the card to arrive before I register for input.

Hello everyone ！

Good news.

BILT credit card arrived in less than a week （ Heavy as Amex Black card ； ）

HOAFEE has also been processed for automatic debit ！

It will be automatically debited from April.

Even though it is a credit card, it has a routing number and account number just like a bank

I am so happy that I can have automatic debit for HOAFEE as well as for rent.

I am looking forward to seeing how much frequent flyer miles I can accumulate by using this card as my main card ♪.

I joined BILT with a regular Rent payment, but I will record it for future reference.

Payment is via a platform called Appfolio.
The payment is made via ACH because it is not BILT Alliance.
When I entered my account information in Appfolio, I entered my First Name, Last Name as Account Holder and Checking as Account Type as Personal Account.
By the way, when I asked this question in BILT chat, I got a reply in seconds. I was surprised at the speed and accuracy of the reply.
Since I activated BiltProtect, I think it is treated as a Debit payment and will be deducted directly from my bank account.

And I just received a notice from both Appfolio and BILT that the payment has been processed. I was nervous because it was my first payment with BILT, but it looks like it went through.
Appfolio has recently started taking the ACH fee ($ 2.49€), which was not covered by the BILT fee waiver, but was charged here.

Minimum use of BILT （ 5 times ） but I will digest 4 times, excluding Rent payments, in small amounts for me （ because I have other main cards ）.
For example, Amazon gift card charge can be done from $1 per transaction （ It seems to start from $5 if you schedule it ） .
If I can't make very small purchases, I'll charge them to Amazon while I digest the frequency.

There seems to have been an information leak at Wells Fargo, the card issuer, around last year, but it seems to be under control now.
Just to be safe, I have set up my Wells Fargo online account so that I will be contacted when I go online or $ spend more than 10.

I will figure out how to use the points now.
Will I transfer them to airline frequent flyer miles, and if so, which company, or use them as BILT points for travel? etc. etc. etc.
Not very efficient, but they can also be used for Amazon purchases （ Not very efficient since the redemption rate is 0.7%, i.e. 1000 points are worth $7 ）.

So I will use it patiently.

Topic.
I have completed all the procedures and debit (credit card and HOA ）), so I will give you the updated information.

I did not want to open a new bank account, so I was able to debit the BILT payment from my bank account in Hawaii.
I also made various payments with BILT and received triple points （ $ for eating and drinking ） 300 points for 100 .
After a few years, I was hoping that the mileage would accumulate a little faster as I accumulated them.

Also, referrals seem to give quite a few points to both parties.
If anyone wants to be referred

Hi ！ Thanks for the Feedback too.

I don't have automatic debit for card payments either.

Immediately after registration, my Hawaii bank was not reflected, but a few weeks later my Hawaii bank was reflected, so

I chose my Hawaii bank and debited my BILT credit card payment manually.

If the 1st of every month is the day you get more than double points, it would be a good day to buy something on the 1st ！

Thanks for sharing.

My HOA company automatically deducts money from my BILT because they don't charge me a fee by doing an automatic deduction.

It's mutually beneficial for both renters and homeowners to make referrals because the person making the referral is happy to do so.

And the referral code doesn't have your name, just a number and an English code, so you can refer without knowing each other's real names.

We received our results too, but no...

Like Pinky Ring, I knew it would be difficult to get in, but I couldn't give up my faint hope ！ and was
shocked ! I put it on my waitlist right away, but
it looks difficult ！

Congratulations on your acceptance letter, Sacchi ！ Do you have any secrets for getting through the difficult entrance process ？ Did you send your child to a school or something ？

? My child has received acceptance letters from Central Union and Hongwanji, and I am not sure which one to choose. I was wondering if Hongwanji is the better choice considering the Kinder exam.
I am so jealous of your MCS acceptance ！

Nice to meet you ！
My son also took the test at 3 years old, but the result was disappointing …
He also took the test at 2 years old, but he didn't get in as well and put his name in the wait pool, but it didn't come around.
I took the test this year ！ with the hope that I would get in this year, but the result was still disappointing. …
Since the wait pool is almost never offered at popular schools,
I am already wondering how to get in and am switching my mind to the 4-year-old slot
for the next year.
If your email is an acceptance letter, that's great
Congratulations on passing the difficult test ！!

Thank you 😭

I also applied with faint hopes as well,
I did not send my child to any school. （ The applique itself was only a form to be filled out by an adult, in which the adult had to write a statement about his/her thoughts and interest in Montessori and the child's education, and there was no kind of exam for the child himself/herself to do anything... ？ ！
Honganji is also very popular I often hear that it is very good for kinder exams.

Stand by me
thank you 😭

Nice to meet you ！ I was looking at MCS for my 2 year old son to take the 3 year old class next year ！
If anyone knows, I would like to know if MCS and other difficult schools like Hana Hau'oli have Elementary through 6th grade ？ The other puglik elementary schools have elementary through 5th grade ？

So I see that MCS publishes where their graduates go to school, and it seems that there are only 6 to 11 elementary students each year
I guess that means there are only 6 students per class or 11 at the most. Does that mean there are no students?
I wonder if it is difficult to make friends in Elementary if there are too few.
If you know the situation, please let me know.

Mr. FREEMAN
Nice to meet you ！ I have two children attending MCS, my oldest daughter took Punahou two years ago at G5 (5th grade ） and my oldest son is now attending MCS at G5.
My oldest son is also at Punahou starting in August.
To answer your question, MCS is up to G6 （ 6th grade ） as you mentioned. Therefore, the results that MCS publishes are the results of the children who have remained in G6.
MCS has one elementary class per grade, with roughly 20 to 22 students.
In fact, more than half of the children take Punahou or Iolani at G5, and less than half of the children stay on to G6 each year.
This year, 14 of my classmates who took the G5 exam, including my oldest son, were accepted to Punahou.
Of the 14 who were accepted to Punahou, 9 will go to Punahou and 5 to Iolani.

Most of my classmates who stayed until G6 also went to Punahou and Iolani, so as a result, most of the kids I grew up with at MCS Elementary will be reunited at Punahou and Iolani
！
My oldest daughter had 20 classmates in the same year, We have a situation with 17 in the Middle of Punahou.

Elementary is indeed one class, so it is a small group, but there are around 20 of us, and we are very bonded because we are together all the time.
The 7-10 students who go on to higher education are only those who remain until G6, and since they are almost all tested at G5, it is a small group.
Hana Hau'oli also has about 20 students per class and most of them go to Punahou, which is similar to MCS.
For your information ！

I had the same symptoms, frozen shoulder,
I got an injection at Urgent Care in Hawaii Kai and it went away in about 5 days, but it came back if I didn't move it, and the injection is good the first time, but it doesn't work after a few times, so be careful. Please be careful.
Take care.

I am so sorry to hear that you are still in pain after a month. We have a massage ？ bodywork ？ doctor called Kyoseido Therapy located by Kaimuki High School. I don't think insurance will be accepted, but the pain and symptoms that were not cured by Kaiser have been improved by going to this place. By the way, he is a Japanese doctor alone.

During the corona period, I suddenly could not raise my left arm, so I went to see Kaiser and was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder. I went to Kaiser Physical Therapy for a while, but it never got better, so I stopped going there.

Later, when my corona had settled down, I went to see an osteopath in Japan and was diagnosed with a supraspinatus rotator cuff injury. I went to the hospital every day for electric therapy, massage, and exercises using equipment, and I got a little better. One day at a super public bath, a Korean lady gave me a lymphatic massage as a service, and for the first time in two years, my left arm, which had not been able to come up for two years, came back to its normal position.

Now I have pain and numbness in my right arm, and when I saw Kaiser last week, I had an x-ray that day and a nerve test later that day. I was also told to get Physical Therapy so I made an appointment.

I have also had physical therapy and massage without insurance, but it sometimes made my symptoms worse, so if you have Kaiser insurance, why not see Kaiser first? They will refer you to the right department and doctor for your pain and symptoms.

I will try a few places.
I also consulted with a chiropractor in Kahala who does acupuncture, and the pain went down a little
yesterday.
I was told to wait and see for a few days because the muscle itself is already inflamed, so if the situation doesn't change after that, I will try the injections you mentioned. Thank you very much ！

I am currently attending the school. What I appreciate most is that almost all of the teachers can understand Japanese. As a Japanese family, it is great to be able to communicate with the teachers, and my child enjoys going to the school without feeling any barrier of Japanese ・ or English. Whenever I talk to the teachers, I know that they truly care about my child. I think the tuition is a good deal when you look at the ratio of time they take care of your child.
The only drawback is the location. If it were a little closer to Town, it would be easier to attend.

Mine called me every six months to come in.
It is a Japanese doctor.
Thank you, but
blood tests, x-rays, and other expenses are quite expensive.
Rather than trying to find out what is wrong with me in the early stages,
I feel like he is trying to attract patients because of the decrease in patients due to the corona,

I took a chance and changed doctors.
He is a Japanese doctor.
I have not been contacted for an appointment.
But if you have a problem, he will see you remotely and quickly. I hope you find a doctor you like.

Usually, primary care doctors, gynecologists, dentists, and I make an appointment for the next year at the reception desk at the end of my visit. If it is not convenient for me because it is the next year, I can change it by phone or online (in the case of doctors in Queens, Kapiolani).
As for my daughter's pediatrician, I call and make an appointment around her birthday.
If it helps.

Since I don't get the contact, I have decided to set my birthday as the month of the inspection and do all the various checkups together in that month.

Annual checkups are not mandatory, so I think you need to manage your own appointments.

If you tell them that you are not satisfied with the customer service of your insurance and you want to change, they will find a doctor for you.

It depends on your insurance plan, so even if you want this doctor, it is impossible to change
if the doctor does not handle your insurance.

Well, it's different from Japanese hospitals. ？
I know you wrote that $90 is ！ different from 30% of everything in Japan, so
I'd be relieved if it was less than $100.
At any rate, I'm glad everything is okay. If you distrust doctors and clinics,
just switch. It's a country where you can do that without regret.

Blood test fee $ 90 is cheap.

I had an allergy test done before, but the items were very detailed, about 100 items, and the co-pay was $ 220.
I was surprised that my insurance didn't cover it ？ but
I was convinced that it clarified where my allergy was coming from.

I heard that a friend of mine had an allergy test in Japan
for 219 food sensitivities and paid 5,000 yen, 15,000 yen at 30% of the cost, so it is not an unsatisfactory medical bill.

A patch test, not a blood test, can be done even when eczema is not present, but the cause may be unknown.

Thank you for your comment ！
I was frustrated because if my child did not have a blood test, it would have been a few dollars for a 2 year old check up, but ＄ it was 90. I had visited this pediatrician many times for other than the usual checkups, but I was not prepared for this because they always ＄ never charged more than 20. If I thought for sure it should be expensive ＄ 90 might have seemed cheap.
And the allergy test was for me, not the child, and I have not yet received a bill for it. So it may be a test that is not covered by insurance ！ I will call my doctor and check before I wait for the bill ！
I was wondering if there is more of a problem with the blood test lab than with the doctor's office regarding these two events. I wondered if anyone else has had problems with blood testing recently, but there doesn't seem to be any.
Thanks for reading ！

#5 Mr. Worried

Maybe I wrote that wrong.
$ 220 for blood test was
$ 220 co-pay with insurance.

Without insurance $ it would be over 1000.

I know you are angry about the mismanagement of your child's blood test, but
$ 90 is good because it bought you peace of mind ？
