out of Read Reviews for Dr. Bert Sumikawa
I am now in my 40s and if this is the same guy, he's def ancient by now. All I can say is you don't want this guy anywhere near your kids. He was HORRIFIC !!!!! I was 4-7 years old and he was the boogey man. I still remember how he would put a crank in my mouth with such force that my jaw ached afterwards. And this was just for cleanings. The worst was when he "had to" pull out my bottom front baby teeth. I remember how scared I was. I was crying and he actually yelled and scolded me to "shut up." He was unprofessional to the max. This was the 70s and the disco era and he'd be dancing with the young female hygenist. All while my mouth still cranked open. I was a kid but I'm not blind or deaf. Something was totally wrong in that office. As soon as I could, I got the hell out of there and went to my parent's dentist. I'm all grown up now and if I saw him on the street or anywhere, I'd confront him and let him know what a jackass he was to me. This grown man couldn't control himself with a little kid and felt it ok to bully and intimidate me. I was just a kid and didn't know any better. DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT A SADISTIC OLD MAN HE'S AGED INTO.

He completed his pediatric dentistry residency and received his specialty certificate in pediatric dentistry from the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF). In addition, he earned a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Oral Biology. Following his specialty training he received additional training in oral medicine from UCSF, and trained in the Oral Medicine Department at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle before returning to Honolulu to enter private practice." can you guide through some of this

Dr. Bert and his staff are excellent pediatric dentists. Dr. Bert offers many options and is sensitive to the pain and stress of children. He takes the time to treat young patients with care and kindness. He also takes the time with parents to explain everything and answer all questions. His staff is nice and professional. Facilities are very kid friendly. Convenient location in town with parking. Rates are about the same as other dentists. Both my sons are satisfied, happy patients. Thanks, Dr. Bert.
