Dr. Ochi is very friendly, and really makes me feel relaxed and calm, which is quite an accomplishment because I really hate dentists. He is very competent, quick to get things done, and done right and well. He talks throughout the procedures (i've had cavities filled) and explains what he is doing and why he is doing it. I've never had any problems with any work he has done, and his office staff is top-notch. Very friendly, competent people.
