About
Dr. Tony Trpkovski is a board-certified internist and the founder of Doctors of Waikiki. He built the clinic in 2018 with a clear purpose: to deliver genuine, friendly, and compassionate medical care to everyone who walks through the door. Under his leadership, the practice grew into Hawaii's largest urgent care clinic and earned the 2023 SBA Small Business Persons of the Year award for Honolulu County.
Dr. Trpkovski is widely known as the Ukulele Doctor. He plays ukulele during patient visits to ease anxiety, a practice that earned him a feature on KITV4 News. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he kept the clinic open without reducing hours and partnered with his brother to design TrueHero Extreme Coverage Face Shields. He also led the clinic to become the first in Hawaii to offer rapid antibody COVID-19 testing and drive-through COVID-19 testing. His media appearances include segments on ThinkTech Hawaii, multiple Inspire You and Me features, and a 2025 podcast appearance on Healing and Giving: The Body Donation and Wellness Show.
