Meet Our Team
Behind our practice is a team of skilled, compassionate professionals who are passionate about caring for children. At the heart of our office is Dr. Audrey Rawson, a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Rawson has combined her expertise in both pediatric and general dentistry with her background in early childhood education. Her empathy shines, allowing her to care for your child's dental and emotional needs.
Dr. Rawson completed her studies at UCLA and dedicated her career to helping children maintain beautiful, healthy smiles. Her friendly, approachable demeanor sets the tone for our practice, creating an environment where children and families feel supported and at ease.
Dr. Rawson is joined by Dr. Allen Hirai, who brings over 30 years of experience to our team. After earning his doctorate at the University of the Pacific, Dr. Hirai further specialized during a Pedodontic Clinical Residency at the University of Illinois, Chicago Medical Center. Known for his kindness and creativity, he makes each visit enjoyable—even for nervous little ones. Dr. Hirai’s ability to connect with children has turned potential challenges into positive, memorable experiences.
Together, Dr. Rawson and Dr. Hirai lead our team with a unified belief in compassionate, family-centered care. For us, every child’s smile is unique and worthy of nurturing and celebrating.
A Holistic Approach to Pediatric Oral Health
We’re proud to offer comprehensive dental care tailored to children at every stage of growth, from infancy through adolescence. We also specialize in caring for children with special needs, using personalized techniques to ensure every child gets the care they deserve.
This level of care and dedication has earned us a spot on Honolulu Magazine’s “Best Dentists in Hawaii” list time and time again. These honors mean the world to us because they reflect the trust families like yours place in us.

Launching our new website is part of that commitment, offering parents the tools and knowledge they need to feel confident in maintaining their child’s oral health between visits.”
