Dr. Watanabe is a very knowledgable and caring doctor especially for elderly people. My mom is 87 years old, she was very afraid to go to the dentist until she met Dr. Watanabe. It is because Dr. Watanabe is always patient in explaining everything to my mom, she provides sound advice and is very diligent in her work. I am grateful to be able to find such a caring and knowledgeable doctor for me mom, and yes for me too!

Dr. Watanabe and her staff have been very warm and friendly with me in the past year I have been a patient. Even more importantly, they appear to be taking every precaution to protect themselves and their patients at this clinic during the pandemic. The folks here have a Little Tokyo/Hawaii vibe which defintely makes me feel at ease. Highly recommend!

An EXCELLENT FAMILY EXPERIENCE. My wife, two kids and I recently had a teeth cleaning and have been going to Dr. Keith and Dr. Kristen for a few years now. I’m just sad that I hadn’t written a glowing review earlier. I took it for granted and assumed that others would. From top to bottom you can tell that this is a loving, family oriented operation. Each member, from the receptionist to the hygienists to the dentist all bring a warmth to an already anxiety inducing situation. They bring you into their family and treat you with as much compassion and dignity as anyone could hope for while digging around your mouth. This is an amazing establishment and I hope people keep this local business alive. I know the teeth of my family are in safe hands with the Watanabes for years to come.

This is for Kristen Watanabe, DDS. DO NOT GO TO HER! Dr. K. Watanabe has no patience and has an awful bedside manner with older patients. My father is 82, soft spoken and in ill health. He saw Dr. Kristen for an emergency cracked tooth. Dr. Kristen demanded my father make a decision as to what option he wanted done and the cost of each. He didn't know so she kept demanding, almost yelling at my poor old father. He was so distraught that he did not want to return to see her. NOT GOOD!!
