Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

absolutely perfect!
Dr Shinozaki was incredibly kind, caring, professional, thorough and calming through the whole process of removing my wisdom teeth.

Dr. Kent Shinozaki is a man of impeccable character. His thorough knowledge of his field of expertise and excellent bedside manner have put my grave anxiety to rest. His pleasant demeanor was my anesthetic. I trusted his advisement and he delivered. My wisdom tooth extraction was a breeze. No sedation which I first requested, and no pain nor discomfort even after procedure. Just took OTC pain reliever overnight one time to make sure if there will be pain, but none felt. Recovering well. Dr. Kent Shinozaki is the oral surgeon to go to for sure. I highly recommend him especially for those who are a nervous wreck like me. I can't thank him enough and his wonderful staff for putting my nerves to ease. Wishing them the best.

My neice had her wisdom teeth extracted at this office. Honestly , I was impressed by Dr. Shinozaki’s manner and service. He wheeled my neice out himself. You don’t see that anywhere. He’s a professional and a kind person. Today that also matters more at times ..

From my very first visit with Dr. Shinozaki, he was open and honest with me about the procedures and my options, while also listening to and respecting my concerns and wishes. Not only that, but he checked in on me frequently after my surgeries to see how I was feeling and if there were any issues. Throughout this months-long process, I have never for once regretted that I came to Dr. Shinozaki and I will 100% come back if I need any further care.

Our daughter had to have an extraction - unfortunately tooth had abscess under gum. Dr. Shinoazki was able to see us quickly and performed the oral surgery that day. Our daughter said it was a good experience. Thank you

I had cracked a tooth, #30. It was infected below into the root area. Dr. Shinozaki removed the tooth, I was in less pain after the surgery then before. Total recovery, no bleeding after 24 hours. Dr. Shinozaki explained the procedure, his knowledge and ability was outstanding. The staff was easy to work with and equally as professional. If you need oral surgery, this is the guy you want. I was very pleased.

Absolutely terrible experience. Found him to care more about money rather than his patients. Extremely condescending and rude. The surgery with him kept getting moved, even on the day of the surgery. For the day of the surgery, we were asked to come in 30 minutes earlier than our appointment, and it was canceled.

She refers me to Dr. Kent Shinozaki, DDS. He performs Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He was super kind and explained everything he was going to do. He did a very thorough exam.

Office staff was professional, helpful, and pleasant. I grind my teeth, resulting in breaking a tooth and a subsequent infection into the jaw. Dr. Shinozaki confirmed my primary dentist's diagnosis and provided alternatives. I elected extraction and implant. I tend to have a low level of pain tolerance for dental work however Dr Shinozaki did an exceptional job of managing pain both during and following procedure, requiring a minimum of medication.

From the moment I came in, I was given amazing care! Very thoughtful people and when the day came for the wisdom teeth removal, they were efficient yet were always open to my opinion whether I was comfortable. I can honestly say I had the best experience here (aside of the pain that came after but that is normal).

Dr. Shinozaki was recommended by a friend for removal of my wisdom teeth and i could not be happier with the experience. The procedure was not painful, every move was very well calculated, and it was done in about an hour. He is extremely professional and has a great team! I had four wisdom teeth removed with very curved roots and with one of the teeth being impacted. My recovery is going very well considering the fact I'm 39 yrs old (i know, It's kind of late to be doing...
