I'm a new patient of Dr Tadano, after not seeing a dentist for many years. I was nervous about all the procedures I know need to be done. Dr Tadano and her lovely staff have been so kind and knowledgeable, which has greatly eased my fears. I have a lot of work that needs to be done, but it's reassuring to know I'll be in good hands. I appreciate you all!!

I am a new patient and my first experience with Dr Tadano was impressive. High quality of service from receiving x-rays to the actual exam to cleaning. Dr Tadano was very professional and knowledgeable and made me feel like I was in great hands for my oral care. All staff went above and beyond in my care during my initial appointment. Great experience, I recommend Dr Tadano and her staff.

My dental history has been met with quite a bit of anxiety, fear and pain. Thank goodness I have finally found a dentist that practices with true care and concern and genuine appreciation of how we are all uncomfortable with dental procedures. With Dr Tadano I haven't had to use nitrous oxide to get work done. I'm in caring hands and I'm grateful
