Dr Kamisugi is a godsend!!!! The office is always very clean. The staff is very thorough and friendly. My daughter is special needs and everybody speaks to her and knows her name. They remember everything about her (even her small talk conversations). They are very sweet to her which makes her excited for her appointments and truly enjoy her visits. Dr Kamisugi is always available in case there's an issue and he goes above and beyond to ensure that we get everything we need and then some. He even made sure to let us know about services and options we had no idea we're available to us. If that's not enough, I was pregnant when my daughter started her. The staff not only remembers baby's name and gave her a small gift when she was born. I couldn't ask for a better dentist or human to care for my child. We LOVE it here!

I am a current patient at the dental practice . It's been almost a year since I've had my braces as the doctor said it will only take 12 months to fix my teeth. As my 12 months is nearing its end There has been no progress made with my teeth. There was even a time when my teeth separated and created a huge gap and it had to be fixed . Not only is there NOT a difference in my teeth , it is WORSE. My overbite is worse and there is pain in my right jaw area that shoots up to my ear . It's hard for me to open my mouth i can only open about an inch and a half . My front top teeth has become so sensitive . It's like i was better off without getting the braces. I had braces before these and I can tell the difference. This dental office made everything worse. I'm getting ready to PCS June10th and the only thing left to do is take my braces off and send me to a different office at my next duty station. I just wasted all of my money to mess up my jaw/teeth and have to spend more money fixing it . I'm literally typing this at 10:41PM because my jaw hurts while I'm in bed. I only gave them two stars because the staff is very very nice. Also, not once did they allow me to brush my teeth before adjusting my braces. I had to ask them to floss my teeth. At the last dental office that i got braces from that was the procedure. Even on base at my primary dentist that's the procedure. So i thought it was weird that they just took tightened my braces without a proper cleaning first . This is MY experience and this place may work for you . I'm just sharing just in case someone else experience the same thing they know it's not just them. But all the staff are super nice Atleast !
