My sister recommended Dr. Sasaki to me and had been seeing him for over 10 years at that point. Dr. Sasaki is the best dentist I've ever experienced! His chairside manner is superb, he is a gentle and very competent doctor, as well as a charming and affable person. Kathy, his receptionist is wonderful and friendly and very capable. She makes sure Dr. Sasaki's office runs like clockwork. I particularly appreciate her after experiencing the passive/aggressive types in some doctors' offices.
About Hygienist: Leslie, also, fabulous. Doesn't get hung up on the "How often do you floss?" guilt trip that I've experienced in the past.
