Dr. Andrew Choy

Dentists in Hilo tend to cluster near the hospital or the university—convenient, but not always quiet. Dr. Andrew Choy sits a block off Kilauea in a low-rise that feels more neighborhood than medical plaza. The address is 66 Kekuanaoa St #360, a few minutes from downtown without the parking lot sprawl. They handle everything from cleanings to root canals, plus the occasional crown or night guard; nothing flashy, just the sort of care that keeps people coming back for years without fanfare.

Hilo’s humidity can turn a simple filling into a marathon, so it helps that the office runs on schedule. If you need to book or ask about sedation options, call (808) 935-1092. For directions—especially if you’re coming from the Keaʻau side—pull up the map before you leave; the side street isn’t always obvious from the main road. A good rule in this town: trust the locals who already know where to go.
