I have only used Dr. Murakami once so far after I had a filling fall out and needed a crown. I am now wearing a temporary crown that I must admit, does not fit well. I needed a lot of anestesia and I'm not sure if it's because thats me or if the shots weren't given in the right place. When I had my crown fitted, her assistant did the work and she never came in herself to check the fit. I would have to say this is an average dentist. She is very brusque with her staff and sometimes with the patient. Her staff seem to be very nice and helpful. She's a bundle of energy and has a great sense of humor to put you at ease. After I have more work done, I will revise this post.
