First of all, I want to say that I really appreciate Dr. Sakata and the work he does. He is always…read morepersonable and a very skilled dentist. My issue is that I broke a crown in mid-May, and it seems that I would not be able to have it fixed until December, which for me is not workable. So I need to relocate to another office which has more than one dentist that can address semi-emergency dentistry in a timely manor. Thank God I am not in pain with this broken crown, other than sensitivity to cold, otherwise, I would really be up the creek without a paddle. I asked the office staff what would I do if it gets more painful and she said to take painkillers. I can't imagine needing to take painkillers for 7 months because that is when I was scheduled next to fix the crown.

Dr. Sakata and the staff are always top notch and excellent in regard to their professionalism. I…read morehighly recommend that anyone who is interested in excellent dental care seek them out.

Dr. Benjamin Rotwein explained thoroughly the procedure to be done (tooth extraction, bone graft and implant) and offered options as well as recommendations. I received very good before, during, and after surgery care instructions. After the surgery, Dr. Rotwein called me later in the evening to check how I was doing and if I had any questions and gave me his cell number just in case. Thumbs up to all involved.

After asking around, I was referred to Dr. Leong. I wish I had known about him sooner. He and his staff are kind, patient, non-judgmental and always happy to see you. I am not a person who is afraid of the dentist but I know that some people are. They are very gentle and will tell you as things are happening. I have tori mandibularis (bones growing under the tongue and the top of my mouth), which makes x-rays painful. They were such pros in doing the x-rays with the bitewings that there was no discomfort or pain. They accept most insurance and copayments are minimal. It is easy to schedule, cancel or reschedule or appointments. I highly recommend this dental practice to anyone.

He did prescribe the antibiotics to eliminate my infection before my first actual dental care visit. His staff are very friendly and cooperative, going out of their way to assist me with an insurance set back. The staff, as I witnessed, were very conscientious with disinfecting and taking Covid-19 precautions. Dr. Leong is now my permanent dentist. He is efficient, gentle, and caring of my pain threshold. I am a finicky shopper or products and services. Dr. Leong gets two thumbs up and I highly recommend him.

The best thing this office did was give me a referral for another office!…read more It would be one thing if this place had just unfriendly receptionists, but they are also incompetent! I was originally scheduled to have my wisdom teeth pulled a few months ago.. when I got to the office they made me wait 40 minutes to see the surgeon. Once I got in the room, the surgeon says "did you want to have your wisdom teeth pulled today".. obviously.. so they run my blood pressure and get me in the chair. Then the surgeon comes back in and says.. our 3D x ray machine has been broken for a few weeks now.. I can still pull them, but there is a small percent chance I'll hit a nerve and you'll be permanently numb. You can either sign this waiver or reschedule. Why not call and tell me before I drove 30 minutes to Hilo?! No way I'm gonna risk that.. So as I'm leaving to get rescheduled which is 2 months out, the receptionist says "that'll be $50". For what?! "To see the surgeon".... ??? If anything yall should be paying me for my time I missed at work, and not giving me a heads up! So fast forward to today when I'm supposed to get them out (2nd try) unfortunately there was a crash on saddle and the surgeon got stuck in the traffic, so she's not gonna be able to make it today. Update, got a referral for Big Island Oral Surgery and they took care of me within a week!
