John said "My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Kanemaki for a total of 70 years between us. He is an amazing dentist, very thorough in explaining procedures that need to be done, and offering options when able to for your treatment. Most of his staff has been there for many years as well, and each one of them is caring, knowledgeable and treat their patients with respect and dignity. The office is kept clean at the highest standards, and you feel safe knowing this. We drive 70 miles each way to have Dr. Kanemaki as our dentist, that is how much we have faith and trust in him and his team!"


John said "Dr. Kanemaki has been my dentist for over 30 years. Always professional, friendly, and patient centered. The staff is always pleasant and the dentist's explain the issues and solutions plainly and offer options."

Appointments are kept on time and even emergency visits are accepted very timely. I would recommend Dr. Kanemaki's dental office to everyone."


Karen said "Our whole family has been going to Dr. Kanemaki DDS for over 15 years. The entire staff is fantastic. All three of the dentists are friendly, kind and have very soft touches, the hygienists are great, and the reception are with the receptionists greet you as you walk in. It has a friendly atmosphere and i totally recommend them to anyone who needs a dentist or their teeth cleaned. "


BigChilin said "A very good dentist. Made me understand my choices and made me feel very comfortable. Not like other dental offices where they want to perform implants right away. Made me aware my tooth was able to be saved and that an implant wasn't the way to go. A+++ "


Katherine said "The dentists and entire staff here are friendly and professional. During covid, they have plastic covers over all chairs, lots of air filters throughout, hand sanitizer, require and wear masks and face coverings, making it feel very safe. I've had check ups with both Dr. Randall Kanemaki and Dr. Trent Kanemaki and both are very knowledgeable, personable and efficient. The dental hygienists here, especially Andrea and Jasmine, do excellent cleanings that are very thorough and don't feel rushed or messy. They are so good that I actually look forward to dentist appointments now. "


Nell said "Randall Kanemaki Dentistry is absolutely, hands down, the best dentist office around. I have recommended so many people to them and they all say the same thing - they are attentive, kind, caring and very efficient doctors and staff. They have a winning team! Try them - you won't be disappointed! "


Craig said "I have been a patient at this office for the past 20+ years now. Everything is so clean and well kept. The staff is always so warm, welcoming and accommodating. I've been under Dr. Randall and Dr. Trent's on different occasions. Both are amazing at what they do, and are greatly appreciated by me and my family. You won't find any dentist office better than this one! "


Michelle said "My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Kanemaki for many years and couldn't be happier. We recently brought our son over as a new patient. All of the staff here are kind and welcoming. They always take the time explain each detail and answer all the questions I may have. They are also open on Saturdays!! I highly recommend them to everyone I know. "


Steve said "Trusted & knowledgeable Dentists, friendly & efficient staff. We used to work closer, but for many years still drive about an hour each way to remain their patients. Even with good Doctors there's usually some negative that needs to be overlooked, but with Dr. Kanemaki's office we've only had positive experiences. "


Hak said "Like most people, my family and | has been to various dental offices. However, Dr. Kanemaki and the entire staff are always friendly and welcoming. In my personal opinion they provide excellent patient services and care. Even my kids like going to Dr. Kanemaki's office.

If you’re looking for a great family-friendly dentist provider, | would definitely recommend Dr. Kanemaki. Thank you for everything and keep up the great work."


Janet said "I have been going to Dr. Kanemaki's office for 35 years. Outstanding service from the entire staff, many of whom have been working there for over 20 years. Everyone there is highly skilled, polite, professional and compassionate. Can't ask for more than that. The modifications made to the office due to COVID are top notch, creating a very safe atmosphere for everyone. This is the place to go for superior dental services in Orange County."


Marlene said "Dr. Kanemaki has been my dentist for over 30 years! He’s excellent, and runs a very professional office staffed with dedicated, experienced technicians. | have complete trust and faith in him and his staff- they're the best!"


Cathy said "My family and | have been seen by Dr. Kanemaki and his staff for at least 30 years. In all that time, the doctor and his staff have always been kind, courteous, competent, and considerate of our comfort. They
have become friends after all of these years. We have to drive a considerable distance to be seen in this office, but can't imagine going elsewhere."


Ron said "This was the best dental appointment | have had in 45 years. Would recomend this dentist for ANYONE with any form of a dentist phobia. Amazing people from the front desk, to the dental tech and dentist."


EO said "As always, Dr. Randall Kanemaki is flawless. Fast, efficient, and painless. | had a filling and 2 crowns done. Ate dinner without and discomfort. The staff are also fantastic. ¢/25 LU ER CT."


Michael said "I have been seeing Dr Kanemaki for over 40 years. He and his staff are amazing. My entire family and grandkids go to him too. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing dentist"




Will K. said "Haven't been to a dentist in a while and found them via Yelp. Set up an appointment via phone and these folks run a tight ship. Text reminders, online forms to be filled out to avoid wait in person, follow up calls and text of upcoming appointments. Promptly greeted and helped when I arrived and Elvia and Dr. Trent Kanemaki took his time to explain the different options in detail but at the same in simple terms I could understand. Glad found them!"


Shelly M. said "My family and I have been coming here for years. We have always been happy and comfortable with every visit. Even though our insurance changed we still would never change dentists!"


M L. said "This may be my 2nd review but it's been awhile and I just want to tell everyone how wonderful Dr. Kanemaki and his entire staff are. Dr. Kanemaki has been my dentist for over ten years now and I will never change. I use to have an extreme fear of dentists but it hasn't been an issue now and trust me I've had a lot of dental work done!! Dr.Kanemaki always makes sure I'm comfortable and not in any pain. The whole staff from nurses to front desk are all so professional yet caring. They follow-up after my visit to make sure I'm doing well. They really do care about their patients like family. If you hate the dentist I would definitely refer you to Dr. Kanemaki. He's really the best dentist around!! You'll start loving going to the dentist!!! I love my teeth!! "


Kawika M. said "Dr. Kanemaki and his staff were all wonderful and welcoming when I came in for a fractured tooth. He made sure I wasn't in any pain throughout the procedure. Karen especially made me feel comfortable and just had a warm friendly presence. As someone who tends to get anxiety at the dentist I would definitely recommend this place. "


Michelle L. said "My family has been coming here for about 3 years now and making the decision to do so has been one of the best thing in my life! Each staff member from the front desk to when you sit in the chair to see the doctor or hygienist is amazingly sweet and professional. Even during the pandemic, the office took extra measures to have special air vacuuming equipment to ensure patients safety. They are so wonderful, I have convinced my sister and her husband (who live in Oakland) to start coming here! Service is quick, they don't over book. Parking is easy. They also don't bs you into getting unnecessary fillings (like my old place did). I highly recommend this dental office. "


Dean S. said "We LOVE the Dr.s AND Associates here! Our family has been coming here for 22 years and have been completely happy in all this time. Our kids are now grown and have their own insurances, but chose their insurers on the basis of getting to continue their care by Dr.s Kanemaki and their staff. We can't say enough great and or positive things about this caring establishment!! "


Chris D. said "I've been coming here for 8 years now and changing to this dental office was such a great decision.  Every single staff member here is awesome.  I felt I needed to write an update since I just came for an appointment during our times of COVID-19 pandemic.  The office was closed from March to June 1st.  They didn't just sit idly by while waiting to reopen.  They transformed this office into probably the safest place you can ever be during COVID-19!  Intel could make computer chips in this place! When I got the message they reopened I was a bit hesitant but I'm really OCD about my teeth so I didn't want to put off my x-rays and cleaning when they were due last month.  I was also a bit irritated I was told I'd have to pay a $20 PPE fee.  I thought "but you had PPE before".  Now that I've seen it for myself it was worth every penny.   They could do open heart surgery with the PPE they have in place.   When you arrive you call from your car and they let you know when to come in since they limit about 3 people in the lobby.  You walk in and there's the plexi-glass barriers around the front desk.  There's touch-free hand sanitizer dispenser.  They've replaced all the flooring with fake wood.  They repainted and removed all the knicknacks for easy surface cleaning.  When entering into the dental room you're asked to swish your mouth with hydrogen peroxide.  The dental chair was covered in disposable plastic changed out between patients.  The X-ray machine was covered in plastic.  Pretty much everything in the room was covered. The dentist and hygienist had head to toe disposable scrubs that was a borderline hazmat suit.  They wore an N95 mask and it looked like they had some other mask underneath that!  If this wasn't enough they had the full face plastic shield.  If you catch the virus here than it was transmitted telepathically.  I feel they went way above and beyond of what was required of them which shows they care for their employees and patients.  Being slobbered on all day they need as much of a barrier as possible. If you're in need for a new dentist you can't do any better than here.  You've got three to choose from and all are excellent.  Dr. Kanemaki Sr, Dr. Kanemaki Jr., and Dr. Shimizu.   There's several hygienists which are all great, and all the supporting staff are excellent.  Do not hesitate!  Make this your new dentist office!"


Emie C. Said "Safe, clean, efficient with proper social distancing while providing great patient care."


Makayla B. said "I've always come to this dentist ever since i was little and still no complaints. They will work with your schedule and help you feel comfortable. They are fully up and running right now, despite the pandemic, and have safety precautions to help you feel more comfortable. Love this place!"


Erin B.  said "Let me start off by saying that I absolutely DREAD going to the dentist. I get scared, nervous, and anxious...even if it's just for a cleaning. However, Dr Kanemaki's office was amazing from the minute I called to schedule an emergency appointment. I was in a huge amount of pain yesterday and last night from a broken/infected tooth that woke up me in tears several times thru the night. After one of my tear-filled bouts, I found myself googling dentist offices that opened earlier than 9am and found this place. Read thru a bunch of positive Yelp reviews and decided to call them first thing in the morning.

When I called and explained my situation, the woman that answered the phone did everything she could to help me. She empathized with the pain I was in, and was able to squeeze me in for 9:30am. I showed up, did a quick check in, and the Karen called me into the office right on time (HUGE plus).

Karen was AMAZING. Like an Angel sent from Heaven type of amazing. I told her the problem, and how nervous I was about being there, and she comforted me. Walked me thru everything that she was doing, and talked to me about random things while we waited on the doctor.

The doctor came in and saw what the problem was immediately. He explained what had happened and how he was going to fix it. He even drew me a little diagram to explain what was going to happen today and what was going to have to happen in the next couple weeks (Root Canals are no joke!). He didn't judge me for not being to the dentist for a while... he just said he hoped I learned my lesson and didn't put anything like this off for so long again.

I would love to say the whole thing was painless.... but that would be a lie. BUT they did everything they possibly could to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Karen squeezed my hand when I was getting the numbing injection, (and whimpering) and the doctor kept apologizing and explaining how he needed to get to the root to numb it and that the (minor) pain would be over soon. It was. After that shot was done, I DIDN'T FEEL A THING. it was amazing.

Even throughout the procedure, they both checked on me to make sure I was doing okay and wasn't in an extreme pain. The entire process went smooth and I already feel a million times better than I did going in this morning, and it's only been a couple hours!

Will definitely continue to go back. And will definitely recommend them to anyone I possibly can!"


Nicole M. said "We've been coming here for a few years now, my sister in law recommend this office to me and it was the best decision I ever made. My children had the most horrific experience at their previous children's dental office! I explained everything to Dr. Trent Kanemaki and he ensured me that my children especially my eldest son would never have to go through something like that again! The whole staff is warm and friendly, and so welcoming. All the Dentists here take their time with you and make sure you are comfortable and understand everything that is going on. My kids never question about going to the dentist anymore! The new renovation in the office is very clean and modern and completely up to date with the Covid19 pandemic guidelines. Thank you our dental family, we will never leave you!"


Carol F. said "I have been a patient of Dr. Kanemaki's for over 30 years. He is the best dentist that I have ever been to. Now his son, Trent, is also a dentist in his practice. He always spends time with his patients. His whole staff, from the front office to Dr. Shimizu, and Dr. Trent Kanemaki, to all of his dental assistants are wonderful. Many of his support staff have been working for Dr. Kanemaki for decades.
Dr. Kanemaki even called me personally to check on how I was doing during this pandemic. This is how dedicated he is in taking care of his patients."


Melinda S. said "Ok this review is kind of different, but I was feeling a little reflective today with everything going on.

I used to go to this office when I was a teenager (ugh 30+ yrs ago) and I was a patient with a horrible dental history as being a scared child and always had bad experiences.  When my mother found this office I was scared of course but all went well with the Dr's gentle and calm demeanor, of course his staff is incredible.

When I graduated high school I actually went into the dental program and became an board certified dental assistant, but later moved to the front. I always remember Dr Kanemaki showing me on an x-ray what a cavity looked like (and of course it was mine). Was always a special touching memory for me.. I loved the office and the feeling of comfort and yes love that they give to their patients. I love Pat their wonderful office everything person.  She has always been so wonderful to me and my family.

Now all these years I am still in the field and have worked at a few places and always seem to keep in contact, my previous employer was on vacation and my husband needed a emergency filling, of course they accommodated me.  On occasion I even took my three kids here, it was so amazing of an experience to have them taken care of as I did as a youth.

Of course the kids are great, no major problems I'm happy they do not have my teeth!!

So this yelp review comes with reopening joy to all, and to any prospective new patient. I always wish that all patient's could be as lucky to have an office like this.  Being in the field I know and have seen where offices scrimp on sanitation and sterilization it is truly scary.  

My new office is great I am in downtown Los Angeles, but not trying to promote...   :) I am just happy for the guidance as a youth to the career that I have loved all my adult life due to this office and their love!!

Love always,

Melinda (Harjo) Santoyo"


M Katalbas lll said "The clinic is very clean and Covid protocol are strictly adhered to. The staff are very friendly and caring about your well-being during the procedure."

 

Marjorie Dunham said "Dr.Kanemaki, Andrea who cleaned my teeth, Pat at the front desk & all the personnel at their office are all very helpful, kind, efficient, and I always feel comfortable for them to work on my teeth. I have been going to this office for many years. I would totally recommend this office & all the dentists and hygienists to anyone. They are well wonderful, caring people."


Vicki Kramer said "I would highly recommend Dr. Kanemaki and his excellent employees. They are friendly, caring, and have helped me keep my teeth in good shape for many, many years.They are the best!"


Michale Park said "Wouldn't trust the health of my teeth with any other. Everyone at this office is very nice and helpful."


Lawrence J. said "Mr. Kanemaki and his staff are second to none in all categories. I have been a patient of doctor for over twenty five years and it has been the most rewarding time spent with any doctor.........................EVER. Thank you doctor, thank you Pat and staff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Boss Lady L. said "It is so rare to find a dentist office where you get both an excellent top rated dentist with personality and a wonderful staff with professionalism and enthusiasm!!  Dr. Trent Kanemaki and his staff were excellent and I highly recommend them if you are looking for a new dentist!!  They saw me on Saturday for my loose front crown.  They have all of the Covid 19 protection in place.  It's hard to find a dentist that will make you feel as comfortable as possible and not price gouge you.  They would get 10 stars in my book!"


Tamara B. said "the best dentist for me! The staff is friendly. Dr.  Kanemaki is my favorite though. He  always has a smile for his guests. Pat up front is very sweet. Nelly is a caring, friendly soul. It's like therapy when I get the chance to talk to her before I get my teeth done. The only complaint I would have is the hygienest Sara, I won't ever let her do my mouth again. It felt like she was scraping my gums off. My husband felt the same way when she worked  on him too. She seems to be nice. I just prefer the hands of the sweet lady with the braid, darker skin tone. When I get her name I will update this. I want to clarify my review on Sara is nothing personal. I just didn't like how she gets really rough and doesn't make sure you are okay. I had the worst migriane after she finished my second deep cleaning. It's just a word of caution for those who need a softer touch."
