Nakamura Kenneth DDS

Dr Nakamura is amazing. He is so caring and honest. I’ve been coming to him for a few years and would recommend him to all my family & friends. He’s the best. And his office manager Martha is great too.

I have been going to Dr. Nakamura for about 20 years, as has my entire family. He is very gentle and is always considerate regarding my changing insurance statuses, never overcharging. Once, I decided to try my company’s HMO dental plan and tried different dentists. After nightmarish experiences, I decided I would rather pay out of pocket with Dr. Nakamura than go to substandard HMO dentists, and have never gone to anyone else since.

I have been going to Dr Nakamura for over 20 years. Plain and simple he is the best! Honest, good and caring. He knows what he is doing, fair and reasonable on pricing. I would NEVER go to anyone else.

Dr. Nakamura has been my dentist for many years. This past Labor Day weekend, I came down with a very bad toothache, the kind where your neck and entire face hurt and you just want to be put out of your misery. I called the office on Monday Holiday to leave a message to get an urgent appt for the next day. Low and behold, Dr. Nakamura was in the office doing paper work on the holiday and picked up the phone. I told him my problem and he said «why wait til tomorrow, can you come now.» When I got to the office, he cared for me by himself, without any support staff. Due to all my nerves firing, it took an hour of testing to determine the problem tooth and at that point a root canal was recommended. Dr. N did the work in the very same session. My total visit time was 2 hours ON A HOLIDAY! Three days later and my tooth is perfect and I feel like I can tackle the world again.
Over the years Dr. Nakamura has provided me incredible service. In my twenties He extracted my wisdom teeth versus sending me to an oral surgeon. He used bands and hooks to straighten one tooth when I was in my teens which saved my single mother the expense of having to get me braces.
His bedside manner is beyond reproach and he has the most integrity of anyone I’ve ever met. He is truly my hero.

I have been under the care of Dr. Nakamura for 18 years. He has great chair-​side manners and is always ready to tell you a great story. He is a master of his craft and can keep you at ease through even the most stressful dental procedures.

I am both hesitant and excited to write this review. I know Dr. Yoshikawa and Dr. Nakamura deserve all the praise in the world, but I fear that once more people find out about this wonderful office, appointments are going to be harder to come by. Oh well, no good deed goes unpunished ;)
I have been terrified of the dentist my whole 22 years of existence. I have had horrible problems with my teeth due to the major unevenness of my bite for as long as I can remember. I have had root canals, crowns, fillings, extractions, etc. You name it, I have had to suffer through it. And through all of these practices, serviced by over 10 different dentists, I have never felt comfortable being in that chair. I dreaded the dentist, even to the point of putting off routine checkups for years. But as things got worse with the latest dentist (claiming extractions and expensive crowns were the only possible options left for me) I decided I had to find someone, ANYONE better. My stepmom told me about Dr. Nakamura’s office and how wonderful they were in taking care of her mother. And I knew right then and there that if these people could warrant rave reviews out of my step-​grandmother, they had to be amazing.
Hesitantly I made the call, and in 5 minutes I had my first appointment scheduled on a Saturday. (This is perfect for full-​time workers who cannot necessarily take the time off work to make it to a weekday appointment.)
When I got there, I was nervous as usual. But as soon as I sat down, took a deep breath and looked up at my doctor, I knew things were going to get easier from here. My doctor is Dr. Yoshikawa and she is the BEST. I literally mean amazing! From the beginning she explained every nuance of what needed to be done and how we should approach it. She took extra time to make sure I understood EVERYTHING and that I felt completely comfortable with every procedure. She took x-​rays and digital images and actually showed me the problem areas while breaking it down in laymen terms as to how she would fix them.
All I can say is that after that first visit I was actually excited about going back. I have been back about 5 or 6 times now and every time gets easier and makes me appreciate this office so much more. Also, those problems that «could only be fixed through extractions and crowns» were mere fillings that just needed extra care in handling. As of now, I am officially all taken care of and back on the path of only needing routine checkups. I can honestly say I have found the «diamond in the ruff» when it comes to dental offices.

Dr. Nakamura has been my dentist for over 20 years. He is very careful on my sensitive teeth and gums, and has saved my teeth when other dentists wanted to pull them out (yikes!!). An honest dentist keeps me coming back, and I have been through a few (when I was living back east).
