If I could give Akemi Dental Specialists more stars, I would. Both my husband and I were treated by Dr. Tatsuta within a five-week period. Although both of us required immediate attention, my husband was emergent. We were so grateful she 'fit' him into her busy schedule. Dr. Tatsuta is personable, efficient and knowledgeable with great attention to detail. We're happy she saved both our teeth with minimal discomfort, if any, during our recovery. One of the highlights of our visit was the staff. They are courteous, professional and understanding. I was so touched and impressed to receive a handwritten thank you/wellness note from Cyndi (Dr. Tatsuta), Lem, Audrey & Mary! Akemi is outstanding, one of a kind!

Dr. Matt Okui is a very talented gentle professional. He has done 2 teeth extractions for me with great care and expertise. What I think was really exceptional with him was his manor of personal attention to my every question and needs. His work ethic and explanation process even with his busy schedule was exceptional, there was never a moment where I felt rushed or neglected when I was concerned about my options for treatment. He also spent extra time calling me on my cell to discuss my concerns. More than excellent , a special rare kind of guy!!

Going to any dentist is not supposed to be fun, but it is always a very pleasant and friendly experience to spend time in Dr. Okui's office. I feel I am in very capable hands. Even periodontal surgery was a walk in the park compared to the horror stories I had heard from friends. He keeps a close eye on my dental health now, and that's very reassuring. Dr. Okui is a really nice guy as well as being an excellent specialist; he is caring, concerned, and just fun to talk to. The whole office has a family atmosphere.

As a dentist myself, I am very picky with who I refer my patients to for Root Canal Treatment. Dr Tatsuta has treated several of my patients and everyone returns saying how delieghtful Dr. Tatsuta is and they love her staff. Most importantly is she listened to all of their concerns and did not feel any discomfort at all. I have so much confidence with Dr Tatsuta that i have sent my own family to her. You will love her and her office.

My husband and I are both patients of Dr Okui. Dr. Okui has excellent bedside manner. He is also very knowledgeable. About a year ago, I had red sores in the inside of my cheeks, my gums were inflamed, and I also had sores appearing mostly on my back. Dr Okui immediately diagnosed it as Pemphigus Vulgaris. I have seen several other medical doctors prior to seeing Dr. Okui for the sores in my mouth and on my back and all other diagnosis were wrong! Thank to Dr Okui, I insisted on getting tested for Pemphigus. The result came back positive. Treatment were done and my disease is now in remission. I am now healthy and happy. I have been steroid free since August 2017. My doctor still monitors my condition periodically, but the intervals has gone from one month to three months and now six months!
Dr Okui was also the one who recommended and did implants for my husband when the other periodontist recommended that my husband should wear denture since based on the condition of his disease and the extensive bone loss, implants were not an option for him. Dr Okui did the implants for my husband and they lasted for twenty year so far and still in good shape!

We are grateful for Dr Okui. Both my husband and I completely trust him! He is a great Dr.! Highly recommended! Highly!!!!

Sure this dental place is great. The exam and cleaning is not that bad, easy process. Mainly when you have to get many fillings or worse many root canals done in one appointment. The nitrous oxide makes it better to do simple fillings and even one root canal. I wouldn't want to be awake for wisdom teeth extracted, rather be sleeping yawn. I be awake for anything other than that and make sure my mouth is good and numb. Gentle and professional is really good for a dentist.

Dr Tatsuda is a great Endodontist. She is extremely thorough and an expert in root canals. She is detailed, friendly and fantastic. The people in her office are friendly and very accommodating. Do not go to anyone else. She is worth the $.

Dr. Okui should be the professor of chairside manner. He makes you feel relaxed and, what's more important, confident that he will do a great job. I've had implants, extractions, grafts - you name it - from him, and it has all been great. Plus, he can converse on a wide range of subjects: He's a fascinating conversationalist.
I only wish I had brushed my teeth with fluoride toothpaste as a child (not invented yet), but then I wouldn't be seeing him, so that's a double edged sword.
