We have dental insurance and would therefore only pay $5 co-pay for wisdom teeth removal, but I was unimpressed by the list of oral surgeons the dentist provided! We were referred to Dr. Ota by a friend, who removed my child's wisdom teeth. It was well worth paying out of pocket! Nice facility, experienced and pleasant staff, and knowledgeable surgeon. He personally called the same evening to check on the patient! I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Ota to anyone specially when it comes to the well being of a child!
