With Dr Sakurai, it doesn’t get any better! The office is clean and their sanitizing practices were A-1. The staff was friendly, upbeat, and helpful. The building is beautiful and easy to find. Best of all Dr. Sakurai was thoroughShow more and effective. When she took x-rays she observed previous work done on me and made sure that my teeth were done correctly by other dentists. She set up a treatment plan that will not only correct but prevent future problems. I left confident knowing that I was receiving the best care and that I have a beautiful healthy mouth to look forward to. I highly recommend this place. I originally went to her in 1998 and I googled her over 20 years later only to find she was still active. After 20 years she never missed a beat. Some people were made to do this, but I believe she was born to do this. Thank you so much you have made my day and I will be back!
Dr. Sakurai is amazing, gentle, professional and knowledgable. I was so impressed with her kind demeanor and she knew exactly what my needs were once she examined me. So nice to know that my teeth will forever be kept up. I higShow morehly recommend Dr. Sakurai to everybody, especially those who fear the dentist in anyway. She was so gentle I had no pain whatsoever during or after. Like I mentioned "AMAZING".

After years of deferring going to the dentist my fears and anxiety were overshadowed by tooth pain. Dr. Sakurai and her office staff were so kind and understanding. I received a same day appointment plus an immediate referral to get the problem fixed. Thank you - and I will be back!
I was petrified to go in and Dr Sakurai and her team made me feel absolutely comfortable and I left in tears of happiness!!! Thank You all
