This office is great, well-run with caring and competent staff. Dr. Mukai is personable and careful to explain everything. Periodontic work is expensive - thank goodness for insurance. I don't find any kind of dental work very comfortable - try taking along some music (the office has a good CD selection and player), but Dr. Mukai and his crew do everything they can to be reassuring and comforting. They're good about follow-up, as well.
