    Dr. Ing is amazing and very friendly. He is very knowledgeable about dental care and very fare…read morewith pricing for people who do not have health insurance.

    I had an extremely upsetting experience with Dr. Kristi Koyanagi, and I WOULD NOT recommend her…read more I have some dental anxiety, which I explained beforehand. I was not rude or difficult, and I tried to be very understanding throughout the appointment. Despite that, she seemed irritated with me and was incredibly rough. During the procedure, there was a dental tool or band placed tightly around the tooth she was filling, presumably to isolate or shape the filling and protect the neighboring teeth. I don't remember what the tool was called, I do remember the dental assistant asking her if she wanted a slightly bigger size. She said the one they have now would be fine. After she was done with filling the tooth, She was pulling and yanking on said tool with so much force that I had to use a surprising amount of strength in my neck and jaw just to keep my head still. At the same time, her fingers were repeated scraping against the outside of my cheek, but the end it was becoming painful. The next day my muscles were sore , it literally felt like I did some kind of neck, jaw exercis For clarity, I'll call the tooth she was working on "Tooth A" and the neighboring tooth "Tooth B." Immediately after the procedure, I felt an unfamiliar bump with my tongue. I knew it had not been there before. Afterward,she seemed to be in a rush and was quick to escort me to the front and I left the office. When I got into my car, I looked at my teeth in the mirror. Tooth A looked fine. But tooth B had a filling protruding from the center it literally looked like A NIPPLE It looked completely unnatural and was obvious enough that I cannot understand how it went unnoticed before I left the office. I was so overwhelmed by the entire experience that I broke down crying on the drive home. After about 30 minutes to an hour, my partner convinced me to call KDC and ask if Dr. Koyanagi could correct it. I was told that she was no longer in the office and that I would have to wait until the following month to see her again. For someone who "developed a love for dentistry", "received numerous awards & a scholarship for her success through dental school", "active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, "thrilled to serve her community". I could not believe you left me with such an obvious abnormality on the neighboring tooth without it being noticed or addressed. And the cherry on the cake THE FILLING COMPLETELY LIFTED AFTER TWO WEEK For someone who already experiences dental anxiety, this experience was genuinely distressing
