Shriners Children's Hawaii 1310 Punahou Street, Honolulu, HI 96826

"If you’re over 18 and have a disability, good luck in getting a referral from this place. They don’t even recognize you and treat you like a number. Newsflash, healthcare for ALL people is a human right and people SHOULD get referred once they age out. They are two-faced."

"My son broke a bone and during X-rays in the ER they found tumors. I immediately got a referral to Shriners thinking it was the best place on island. They found more tumors and instead of trying to find answers for the tumors she jumped right to surgery. She wanted to stabilize a different bone. Luckily my mom instincts kicked in and I got a second and third opinion. He definitely doesn’t need any stabilization and yes his condition is very rare but she didn’t even try. It’s either a money thing(we have insurance) or maybe she was just surgery happy either way just follow your instincts and don’t just accept what they say. I’m so thankful I didn’t put my 6 year old through all that for no reason. I will say that everyone else there was so nice and helpful. We felt very comfortable there and they had tons of things to keep my son entertained during his visits."

"One of the BEST hospital we had been to. We were visiting Hawaii and unfortunately my lil one needed medical help and doctor at Shriner were very committed, listened to us patiently, helped us in every way as we had our flight back in next 3hours. Would recommend to anyone, very well maintained and operate all through 24hours is a blessing for people around. I wish we had a faculty like such in our neighborhood. Thank you for your service."

"They are a hospital for children who have orthopedic problems, burn victims, spine injuries, and cleft palettes. Shriners hospitals have 22 institutions, the majority of which are located in the United States. No one is ever denied treatment, regardless of whether or not the patient can pay for it. My cousin suffered scoliosis when she was younger, and as a result, she had surgery in which a rod was implanted in her back. Although my aunt did not have to pay for the procedure at the time, she was quite generous in the gift that she gave to the foundation. She has matured and is now above the age of 18, but when she was younger, she had an accident in which she slid on ice on the mainland and wounded her back. She was informed that she would need to have surgery on it once again, so she went back to the Shriners Hospital to undergo the necessary corrective surgery, during which another rod was implanted in her back. When she came in for her procedure and recovery at Shriners Hospital back in March 2017, she was the only patient there at the time. She had two nurses waiting on her hand and foot, of course they had to have kitchen staff to make her meals, and a security officer to patrol the facility. She also had a kitchen crew to cook her meals. The building itself is really attractive in its own right. They offer a café, a large lobby with a stunning aquarium, and an upstairs play area with toys, DVDs, books, and a video Game Center for children to enjoy. The rooms are large, and the whole location exudes a gleaming, spotless cleanliness from every nook and cranny of view. Regarding the extent to which this organization has assisted my cousin and his family, I just do not have enough positive things to say about it. I will be eternally thankful to the masons who established this foundation and maintain it operational for the benefit of youngsters who have a need for its services."

"A wonderful Shriner hospital supporting the entire Pacific region. Friendly and professional staff. They all made me proud to be a Mason and Shriner. Top of the line specialized health care for children at no cost to the families."
