You will absolutely love Dr Derek Takai and his awesome staff! I was recommended to Dr Takai over 4 years ago when my lifelong dentist retired by a friend who is a doctor. Since then my family members have also become patients of Dr Takai and we are very happy with the professional dental care we receive.

This dentist office gets an A from me Dr. Takai listens to what you have to say and definitely has your best interests in mind. I've only had one other dentist that I've trusted to do work on my teeth but now I can add this local dentist to the mix!

I am very happy with the staff and services I receive at Dr Derek Takai's office. I have complete confidence in Dr. Takai's decisions and skills. He and his assistant, Julie, make you feel so comfortable during the dental procedure. AND, he makes sure you are pain free which I really appreciate! Highly recommend.
- – Linda S.
Excellent dental care. Friendly staff who treat you like a friend, rather than a patient. My work schedule is random & subject to change, so making appointments can be a challenge. They make every effort possible to accommodate me & reschedule me as necessary. An office I highly recommend.

Dr Takai and Julie just began a crown on a chipped tooth. They are both great and I highly recommend them along with the rest of the staff. Julie is exceptional!
- Hopkins M.
Knowledgeable, terrific service, New tech, gentle technique, staff explains what will happen and why. Dr. Takai even followed up with a phone call himself to see how things were going post procedure. When the staff is friendly, positive, and upbeat every time you visit, you know the place has something special going on. Thank you!

Dr. Takai and Julie are awesome! They explained the whole process and made sure that I understood what was going on. I had a crown put in, and didn't feel a thing. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a dentist.

Best dentist experience I've ever had. Kindness and a sense of Ohana is present from the front desk of Shireen and Toni to the chair of Dr. Takai. I completed my Invisalign with Dr. Takai with great results. I've referred a few friends here and def highly recommend the clinic.

Today was my first dentist appointment with Derek and his fab hygenist. This appointment was so much better than my other dentist which was actually the dentist of the day kind of operation. Everything was explained to me thoroughly and the options available. I recommend coming here if you are looking for a new dentist.
- – Kerry T.
I cannot say enough about the friendly, welcome setting that is Dr. Takai's. The office is made up of less of a staff and more of an ohana. Sherene, Toni, and Christine are overly accommodating and hospitable while making sure new patients feel right at home. Derek is very approachable and knowledge while giving a broad, yet comprehensive explanations throughout the check-up. I am looking forward to several more years of attention and care from Dr. Takai's

Who likes going to the dentist? Not me - usually. But Dr. Takai and his staff are very professional, efficient, and most importantly, make me feel totally comfortable and cared for. What more could I ask?
