Doctors On Call — Resort Medical

For visitors and residents who prefer a house call — Doctors On Call provides concierge medical services across Maui resorts and private residences. Useful for minor illnesses, prescription refills, and situations where getting to a clinic is difficult. → doctorsoncall.com

Maui Medical Group

Primary care, internal medicine, and specialty services with offices in Wailuku, Kihei, and Lahaina. For established patients, same-day appointments are sometimes available. Building a relationship with a primary care physician here should be one of your first priorities when relocating to Maui. → mauimedical.com

For Specialized Care

Complex cardiac, neurological, oncological, and surgical cases typically require travel to Queen's Medical Center or Straub Medical Center in Honolulu, or mainland facilities. Medical air evacuation is a real and common necessity for serious conditions. Many Maui residents carry medical evacuation insurance — it is worth serious consideration, particularly for older adults or those with pre-existing conditions.

In a True Emergency

Call 911. Maui's emergency response services are professional and well-equipped. The Maui Fire Department and EMS services cover all parts of the island. Response times to remote areas (Hana, Upcountry, East Maui) may be longer — another reason to know the non-emergency resources in your area.

Build a relationship with a primary care physician here as early as possible. It is one of the most important things you can do when you move to Maui.
