Igasaki Howard, DDS

So much I am learning about Unilocal… I can review almost everyone and everything!!!
I am SO honored to be able to rate and provide information on my dentist’s office. In a world where people freak out about seeing the dentist, I LOVE mine! The front staff is great (very welcoming and informative), Elsie is my favorite hygienist (very inviting and great to talk to — even with tools in your mouth!), and Dr. Howard is da bomb! This is the one doctor I see religiously!
My parents were smart in taking me with them to the dentist (they are patients here, as well) when I was very young. I don’t recall what age I was when Dr. Howard first started treating me, but I don’t ever recall not knowing or feeling comfortable with him. And, now that I’m old, he still asks about my migraines, my family, and is just very pleasant to speak with any time I do.
I wanted to whiten my teeth and he told me no — that mine are naturally bright. He could have done it anyway, but that’s just one way he is always looking out for me.
God willing, I will NEVER not have the wonderful folks here as my dental professionals! I always get compliments on my teeth!

I’ve had the privilege of going to Dr. Howard since young (decades). Now my entire family has chosen Dr. Howard and Dr. Alan Igasaki as our dentists. Both are calm, soothing, gentle and amazing dentists. Dr. Alan also specializes in periodontics which helped the extensive gum work we had to do over the years. The entire staff is super friendly and fun. There wasn’t one visit I didn’t leave laughing or encouraged by some one on the staff.
The doctors work well together and often seek each other’s opinion. I appreciate that they’re always educating themselves and using the latest technology. Dr. Alan used the laser on my son’s gum procedure with no bleeding and minimal pain. They also allow you to bring your own music in and can play movies on a special eyeglass video screen. We often didn’t want to leave since the «movie wasn’t over.» I get pretty anxious with any dental work. I watched a relaxing movie about Hawaii and the ocean. Both doctors are soothing and often talk to you a long time previous to treatment. It helps a lot. They’re gentle also and will ask you for feedback if there’s pain or discomfort. Very empathetic doctors as well as being brilliant clinically is rare. Highly recommended!!!
