"Dr. Garret Uehara was wonderful. I needed a root canal and was extremely nervous. He put me at ease immediately and I never felt a thing during the entire procedure. His staff was excellent and very comforting and responsive."
— Birdeye user review"Condescending, rude staff, that are not upfront regarding new patience. They won't give you a long enough appointment to get a cleaning after initial X-rays and check up."
