I was referred to Dr. Makiyama about 4 years ago by a work mate after I was recommended to have 5 crowns done by my last dentist who said I would have infections within a year if they were not done. Dr. Makiyama gave me a second opinion and I've been a patient since. In the last last 4 years, other than a couple fillings, I've been problem and symptom free. He probably saved me several thousand dollars. Recommend? Already have.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Makiyama's now for about 7 years (give or take). Not only is he the only dentist for our family, but he's turned my husband around who has been a lifetime scardy-cat.
He's taken incredible care of my kids since they were 2, but has restored my teeth to health and replaced a few with dental implants on my husband after many years of complete neglect.
I've sent all my friends and fellow mothers of my mother's group to him. He's been quite the regular referral there. Cost-wise, he is very fair, his explanations tend to be on the lengthy side and therefore always well informed. He has the latest dental equipment and is quite the joy to talk and shoot the breeze with.
Recommend him? Everytime - he better never retire!

The front office staff is wonderful and Dr. Makiyama is very hands on and makes you feel comfortable. My son, because of Dr. Makiyama's interaction with him, has absolutely NO fear of the dentist. And he does a wonderful job...his work is impeccable.

I had a bridge fitted and placed by Dr. Makiyama. He took impressions on the wrong side. I had to tell him he took the wrong side. He was not paying attention. He did not take an impression of the "full arch" as I later learned he should have. The bridge did not fit well and I tried to tell him that. He glued it in anyway, said it would take time to adjust. One of the teeth that was part of the bridge structure began to hurt and he said I needed a root canal. The only test he did to determine this was to have me bite on a wad of cotton. I went to a new dentist who tested my teeth with hot and cold, carefully reviewd my bite and adjusted it. I did not need a root canal and I have an ill fitting bridge. I think Dr. Makiyama needs to keep his "head in the game" and not talk quite so much.

I have been a patient of Dr. Todd's for about 5 years now. When I started, I was extremely scared, having bad experiences when I was younger. He patiently walked me through and I have been a loyal patient since. He has successfully restored my whole mouth, including 3 implants and conservatively improving the appearance of my front teeth. The last dentist quoted me $23,000. Dr. Todd restored my mouth conservatively and I have not had a problem since! I have sent my entire family and office to him.
