Dr. Diem Cao was born in Vietnam. She grew up watching her father, a medical doctor devoting his life to treating and caring for his patients. Since then, she was inspired to become someone who takes honor and pride in taking care of others. In her little town, there were few dentists at that time. Most people could not receive dental care and lived with their distorted smiles and infected oral health. She then dedicated her studies to be the best dental provider.
Her life took a turn when she received a scholarship after dental school to go to France for her orthodontic residency. In France, under the instructions of renowned professors, she fulfilled 4 years of orthodontic residency training and 1 year of surgical implant dentistry. When she was about to go back to Vietnam to follow her childhood dream, God placed her in another place: USA.
She was devastated at first to redo all her education to become a US dentist and to support herself. It is said: Nothing can resist the human will that will stake even its existence on its stated purpose (Benjamin Disraeli). She went through dental school again (University of Colorado, School of Dental Medicine), learned more about dentistry and obtained her DDS degree.
After graduation, she devoted her life to practice dentistry in the most meaningful way, dentistry without discrimination, without borders, dentistry that gives out more than what it takes in. She opened her practice in Paramount, with the Kaizen philosophy that she entrusts in her way of working and living. Kaizen means continuous improvement, a constant commitment in better education, better treatment and better contribution to society.
Every year, she runs the program No caries for children under 3 years old. Every kid under 3 years of age will receive free dental treatment, because she believes that early education and right habits can change a persons oral health and body tremendously.

Doesn't honor Groupon and scams you out of $50. Complete waste of time and money.

10/10 Would recommend this dentist . She makes sure that you are comfortable and without any pain whether its a cavity filling or root canal. I was scared of going to the dentist from previous experience which led to me not seeing a dentist for years and having a lot of cavities, a root canal, & extraction. Not once did i feel any pain and she's fast with each procedure which made the process better. They offer payment plans as well which helped me get braces!

Highly recommend seeing Dr. Muraoka at Kaizen Dental Center. I have been a patient for over 3 years now and can attest that you will be in good hands. No long wait times and they do their best to accommodate my schedule. Always greeted with a smile and while it may not always be fun going to the dentist, it's always nice seeing Dr. and his staff as they make going to the dentist enjoyable. Excellent customer service and convenient downtown location if you work in downtown.

Really good service here. I bring my son here and I went today for the first time to get work done and I enjoyed it. Doctor is amazing the staff is friendly and on top of things. No waiting time, my appointment was at 2 and I was done with in an hour. Doctor made sure I was doing ok, explained everything to me while she was doing the work on my teeth. And mostly made sure I was not in pain. I will continue to keep coming and will definitely refer to friends and family.

I was referred to this place by a close friend and after years of not going to visit a dental office, due to unpleasant experiences when I was younger, I can say that I am over that fear after having experienced quite the opposite here. All the staff was professional and friendly, it really felt like they took the effort to make me feel at ease. Apart from being pleased with the experience, I really like how my teeth ended up looking after they were done. Within a few weeks I got 10 cavities filled, two crowns placed, and my wisdom teeth extracted! My teeth used to be full of craters and were left looking like regular new teeth. The crowns and the filling match my teeth color so they look totally normal and I've had no problems with my bite. Overall a great place, will be coming back for check ups!

(Translated by Google) This is my first time bringing my son, she was very patient with and would explain to him every step, very gentle. I had no problem scheduling an appointment with staff and filling paperwork. My son loved it here. Highly recommend for anyone that needs a good dentist with affordable price and great customer service! My name is Sami and I am from Egypt. I went to the doctor, and frankly, she was a good doctor and she had a lot of patience, especially with the young child, and I used to explain everything to him.
