We just started with HMSA - the same that the university uses - with Jimbos new job. There were a handful of Drs. listed on each side of the island that were taking new patients. I selected one (board certified) in Hilo, though there was even one in Keaau, and Jimbo selected one on the OTHER side.
So far pleased with each, but it has only been a few uneventful months :~)
ETA: We did have Kaiser, & I liked the Dr I had (she was a diver) but she moved back mainland & Jim's retirement health plan no longer had Kaiser in Hawaii (everywhere else it did!) We cannot complain, as now we are in the position of having 2 coverage policies, both covered by work.
