out of Read Reviews for Dr. Ken Akimoto
Went to this office base on referral for "one troubled tooth". Seeking answer on how to cure / fix / repair this "one troubled tooth." The only solution I got back from the doctor was the "whole" mouth treatment and his way of doing things. I can understand that, but let's focus on my "one troubled tooth" for now and worry about the rest later... the doctor gave me a feeling of it's going to be his way or the highway and there was no compromise; he even said I will not be helping you with the "one troubled tooth" it will be another dentist. Feels like if it ain't in their best interest ($), they won't do help you. About 6 weeks later I get a statement from this office that I owe $65 because my insurance didn't cover the whole exam fee. Well, my insurance does cover 100% and based on the usual customary and reasonable charge and in this case, this office over charged by that amount. I later spoke with the office manager, Lisa who was going to discuss with the doctor (akimoto) who performed the exam about the chage and get back to me But instead, my wife gets a call from the office later while she's at work. My wife was humiliated by akimotos office staff on the phone and was demended for the $65.05 payment over the phone. Watch out

Stay away this dentist if you dont want lose your natual tooth. He tends to extract your natual tooth. In my case, I went to other dentist about same my teeth to get 2nd and 3rd opinion.
They said there are no need to extract my teeth. So I changed the doctor. Then of cource, these teeth are fine now.

Dr. Akimoto is a great doctor and has done a great job with my implant. The medical team is also awesome. I cannot say the same thing for their team handling the financials though. Pretty much every visit cuased confusion. Unexpected costs, incorrectly submitted claims (e.g. incorrect claim codes being used).. I had to talk to my benefits (Mircosoft Premera), Dr. Akimoto's office and spend a lot of energy and time to get the bills right or otherwise would pay unnecessarily extra. They failed to notify me of expected charges about appointments and operations. Dr. Akimoto is a great doctor; just make sure you proactively manage the bills and find out the charges before making appointments and expect to pay more.

Excellent all around experience. Dr. Akimoto is efficient and meticulous, both great qualities when someone is working in your mouth. He also has a great way of putting you at ease and keeping you comfortable.

I had excessive gum tissue causing me major discomfort. He performed two quick operations to correct the problem and to restructure the line on my front teeth. Both were fabulously successful and my pain is gone and my teeth look great! I was very much impressed by his professional staff and friendly manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Akimoto to anyone.

Having had to deal with a trouble crown in the front of my mouth for over 10 years now, and also a failed implant attempt from another dentist, I'm confident to say (as a conniseur of dentists) that Dr. Akimoto is about as good as you can find in terms of skill, communication, and overall geniality. Dr. Akimoto teaches implant techniques and is definitely highly experienced and a perfectionist. Prices are above average, but well worth it.
