I had neglected my teeth for several years after having bad experiences with other dentist. Dr. Wade Takenishi along with his father Dr. Elmer Takenishi have made me feel comfortable in their care. Dr. Wade graduated from UCLA, which is a plus since I know he can really study and didn't go to a buy-your-diploma college. Have you ever had one of those experiences where you feel the needle going in the whole way down into your mouth. Dr. Wade has been excellent on giving me injections, which was a "sore" point at other dentist offices. I know it is technique because what he does is a bit different, and you just have to be there. He also tries to be more of an artist than an economist. He spends his time to do the job right, and without charging ungodly fees. I hardly ever have to pay for anything after the insurance is figured in. In the end, I always leave with great looking AND feeling smile. Both are very important.
I highly recommend Dr. Wade and Dr. Elmer Takenishi.....just don't take my appointment times.
