Dr. Radford Goto was born and raised in Honolulu. After graduating from Punahou, he attended Tufts University in Boston then completed a general practice residency in New York City. He worked in Manhattan before earning his specialty certificate in pediatric dentistry at Tufts University. Since finishing his residency program, he has practiced in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Hawaii.
Dr. Goto is a board certified pediatric dentist with 18 years of experience. He is a member of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and the Hawaii Dental Association.

After working on the mainland for so many years, it is so nice to be back home on the islands and close to my family. Before coming on board Diamond Head Childrens Dentistry, I worked in Lihue, Hilo, and Mililani. While I loved traveling to the other islands, I longed to have my own practice on Oahu. When Dr. Yamada approached me about buying his office, I jumped at the opportunity. His beautiful office has a reputation for having wonderful patients and experienced, caring staff. Our similar practice philosophy will make this a great fit and a smooth transition!
My new family and I are excited to start this new journey. My wife, Lauren, is also a pediatric dentist who practices in Pearl City. We have one son named Alexander. Together we love to play golf and tennis, as well as cook and try new restaurants.
My promise to you is that I will always treat you like family. As a practice, our goal is to create a family friendly environment that can provide comprehensive dental care and a positive experience for you and your children.

As a general dentist, I am very excited to join Diamond Head Childrens Dentistry. I am looking forward to working with teens as they transition into young adulthood. My goal as an oral practitioner is to set up patients for success in oral health, to be proactive rather than reactive. Its all about education and prevention. Lets work together so that youll spend less time in the patient chair and more time making memories outside the dental office!

Highly recommmended. Great clinic for children. All staffs are friendly and approachable. Dr. Goto was an excellent dentist, kind, gentle and very professional. My son loves taking pictures on their buzzybooth and I love that they have a little play area in waiting room.

Great staff and very knowledgeable with how to handle kids when they are nervous. Our child was afraid first time visiting, but how they approached her and made the whole experience stress free made all the difference. Our child is now willing to go to the dentist without any struggle or hesitation.

The guy dentist there look and act stuck up sometimes. His young helper are nice but they call n cancel our appointment twice while we were going up to see them so we wasted our two days for them. Their excuses was something broken in the room.I was mad because they didn't let us know 10-20 minutes ahead.we drove there for nothing.I'm currently looking for a better place.

This was our first visit and both my kids loved it! They had a previous dentist which they were not happy with and I am glad they both love it here. I am so surprised how good my little one (2) did. He is very difficult when it comes to dentist and doctors visit but he did so well. They made him enjoy his visit and let him participate as well. Thank you very much to the staff and Dr Goto !

Our family has been going here for over 8 years. The kids love going to the dentist, and not just for the prize at the end of the visit! The staff is kind and patient with the little ones; we couldn't be happier here. Highly recommend Diamond Head Children's Dentistry!

Great atmosphere for the kids, staff are very professional and attractive. The hygienist and doctor are very positive and enthusiastic about seeing your child. We travel from Salt Lake to Diamondhead for this office and it's totally worth it.

We are very pleased to be joining the Diamond Head Children's Dentist family. The staff is so friendly and thorough, confident and easy to talk to. I have 4 kids and the staff remembered who was who throughout the whole appointment. My 4 year old sat by herself through her teeth cleaning and they made her feel confident and safe. All 4 had an excellent experience and left the appointment very happy! 2 of my kiddos went back for a tooth filling and Dr. Goto texted the next day to check in, which I found super thoughtful of him. Never had that happened before! We definitely recommend Diamond Head Children's Dentistry.
