I've been going to Dr. Takahashi for quite some time now. He's friendly, honest, and professional, and does not make going to the dentist scary. He's never tried to sell me on any extra cleanings or products and has always answered all of my questions. I have recommended Dr. Takahashi to several friends and co-workers and everyone who's gone to him has been just as pleased.

I have been going with this dentist for last 2 years. I had two procedures done by him. One was simple white filling of my molar. I had to go back because of pain cause by his claim of air underneath the filling. I decided to had the mercury filling instead and again less than a year, that molar is becomeing sensitive. The other was replacing a old upper crown. He try to remove the old crown but end up crack my tooth that I had to have it pull.
I do ask questions and voic concerns, and maybe a little too much that he cause him unhappy. He said that I was a difficult patient and since I don't turst him I should stop coming back.
I could not think of anything to say at that time, but I should have said " you need to earn your trust from your patient." Now I say it. I feel better.

My husband and I had been patients of Dr. Rick for a long time. His work is always top notch. I have had almost all procedures done with Dr. Rick. Filling, Root canal, extraction, crowns and a partial. He does excellent work. But the one thing that he is really good at is giving painless injections. He's always very personable and takes the time to really get to know his patients. I no longer have insurance, so he gives me a Senior citizen discount. He is an all around good guy.

I love Dr. Takahashi. I also tried to schedule with his wife who was recommended and got him instead. I tried taking my kids to a children's dentist but it was very impersonal and all the kids were lined up in a row. I decided to take my kids to Dr. Takahashi because after my first appointment, I was so impressed at the fact that i was the only one there and he took an hour to see me and talk about everything, and my kids absolutely love him and i have never had a problem or my kids have never complained of pain and actually look forward to going to the dentist. I highly recommend him to everyone.

I learned of Dr Takahashi from trying to schedule an appointment with his wife, Dr. Janet Yamate who was highly recomended by a number of my co-workers. Dr Yamate didn't have any appointments available within a couple of months, but her husband, Dr Takahashi, was available a little sooner. I decided to give him a try since his wife was so highly rated by my co-workers. My experience ended up being very positive. When I arrived at the office, I was seen as soon as I completed my patient information form. I was greeted by Dr Takahashi prior to my x-rays, and after that he performed my teeth cleaning. He did a very good job of cleaning my teeth, and he also provided very helpful recomendations that I had not heard from other denstist in the past. His chair-side manners were excellent left me very comfortable with his skill and knowledge of dentistry. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. In regards to cost, I'm not totally sure since the full procedure was covered by my insurance, but from what I heard about his wife, his cost should be low. I would highly recommend Dr Takahashi.
