Imanaka Russell DDS

Dental offices in Honolulu’s Makiki neighborhood tend to blend into the mid-rise landscape, but Imanaka Russell DDS keeps a steady presence among them. The area—just mauka of Ala Moana—is more known for its mix of residential towers and small professional suites than flashy storefronts, which suits a practice focused on routine care and preventive dentistry. This isn’t the kind of place that advertises whitening specials on sandwich boards; it’s a standard dental office handling everything from cleanings and fillings to crowns and extractions. No surprises, just the usual range of services you’d expect when searching for a local dentist.

The address, 1580 Makaloa St #828, places it in one of those unassuming buildings where the directory in the lobby is the only hint of what’s inside. Unit 828 won’t be visible from the street, so first-time visitors might want to double-check the suite number before heading up. Dentists in this part of town often rely on word-of-mouth more than foot traffic, and this one follows that pattern. Need to confirm an appointment or ask about accepted insurance? The direct line is (808) 941-4497—no automated menus, just a standard office phone.

Finding the entrance can be trickier than it seems if you’re unfamiliar with Makaloa Street’s layout, so pulling up the map ahead of time helps. The building sits between a cluster of older walk-ups and a row of medical offices, all connected by a network of covered walkways. For exact directions, use the map link to pinpoint the suite. No landmark descriptions, no guesswork—just the coordinates.
