While I struggle at times with anxiety induced by dental procedures, both Shawn and his staff always make sure that I am comfortable. Unfortunately, this practice is out of network for some people, as I feel that we should be rewarding medical professionals that go the extra step like Dr. Tokunaga and his team. A few examples of going above and beyond include: extensive photography and explanation of issues/work being performed, light massage of the lumbar during all procedures, and overhead lights that don't blind you while laying back during procedures. Overall, a great practice staffed by friendly, personable professionals that really care about your dental health.”
“Dr. Tokunaga is a genius! I have been going to his office for the past 7 years, and at each visit, I am amazed by Dr. Tokunaga's knowledge, experience, craftsmanship, and kindness. He always recognizes the problem and fixes it. My teeth are healthier and better after each visit. I always tell him that he is not just the best "dentist” but that he is a “ true artist of dentistry”. His staff is just as knowledgeable and caring. I have never met such a great dental team before! I trust them with my teeth entirely! I am so grateful for the opportunity to be Dr. Tokunaga’s patient. Thank you, Dr. Tokunaga and the team!”
“All I have to say is... I actually look forward to my appointments because of this team. They are highly skilled but moreover, they are extremely empathetic, compassionate, and personable. I drive 30-minutes out of my way to see them because they are best in class. Thank you! Can’t wait to see you soon!!”
“My employer changed our health/dental insurance provider and my current dentist wasn't in the network. My colleague at work told me, "I have a cool dentist," and this is how I got to know Dr. Tokunaga. This happened over 20 years ago, and I'm in his care since. I thought my previous dentist was good, but Dr. Tokunaga is in a different category. Very professional, caring, no pain while in his chair. His dental work quality is outstanding and most of all he is honest. I've recommended him to everyone. I go to his office every 6 months for cleaning (BTW Irys does a beautiful job too). A few days ago I needed a minor repair at the gumline. I expected to end up with two little "patches" on my teeth and I was pleasantly surprised with the end result not showing any work done. Dr Tokunaga is passionate about his work which is quite rare nowadays. I would highly recommend him.”
