    Both doctors, the hygienists and office staff have been top rate. I’ve been coming here 30 years for a reason. I have complete confidence in their care, and making sure things are done right. Patient comfort rating is 10 out of 10. The modern equipment in the office lets them finish crowns, implants in one visit which has been convenient. Honestly, this is a great office.

    Dr. Bigley is an excellent dentist, as is Dr. Okamoto. They, along with their staff are kind, friendly, and accommodating. Dr. Bigley helped me through a root canal issue as well as sleep apnea. He thoroughly explained my diagnosis and treatment options, and answered the many questions I had. I'm so thankful to be in his hands. My health has improved greatly because of him.

    I chipped my front tooth and they got me in as soon as they good. I felt bad making Dr. Gerry come in so early. She repaired the tooth and you can't even tell it was chipped. I really appreciate how Dr. Gerry tells me exactly what she is going to do before she does it, and she and the staff are so friendly to me and to each other, it really decreases my anxiety about getting my teeth worked on. Thank you again, Dr. Gerry and Okamoto Dentistry for once again providing excellent service.

    Amazing dentist office in all aspects that has made me look forward to every visit. All of the people at the reception are wonderful and helpful. I rarely have the same hygienist from one visit to another, but they all do a spectacular job of cleaning and advising me of how I can improve. And every dentist I’ve had take a closer look at my gums and teeth has made me feel super comfortable and knowledgeable about my current dental health. They deserve some sort of prize for their professionalism and care that expels the common anxiety of going to the dentist. In turn that has also motivated me to be a better flosser and general parent to my own teeth.
