Excellent service. Any questions about my dental health, brushing or flossing were answered. Appointment wait time is generally 10 minutes, but they recommend scheduling a year in advance.

Best Dentist (and office) on the Planet... they took me in an emergency/crunch situation. From the receptionist to the Dental Assistants, they were amazing. They got me in expeditiously and with care and concern. Dr. Tanaka has an incredible personality, is engaging and obviously super talented. Before leaving the office, I made appointments for both my husband and Mom!!! Can't wait to go back for my check-up and cleaning!

Dr. Paul and his staff were very kind and understanding about my concerns. I hate the poke of the needles but Dr. Paul did such a caring and gentle touch that I hardly felt it. I really appreciated the time he took to meet my needs. Many times this does not happen in other dental offices. We also had many laughs which helped lighten the time spent. I would highly recommend Dr. Paul for any procedure for your teeth. You won't regret your decision.
Jenny Brill
Thank you Dr Paul, Gladys, and Liz! You guys are always awsome.

I don't usually answer to these feedbacks But with Paul Tanaka and his angels I must because they are all so awesome always! I use the term Angel Respectfully because they are all so friendly but also very professional! I think if Dr Tanaka retires, or not, he could write a book on How to run a business successfully! Because he sure as heck, knows how to do it! Mahaloz to him and his Awesome Angels

Dr Paul Tanaka along with his staff are amazing. I always leave his office happy knowing that he will give me the best care for my teeth and smile .

Dr. Tanaka should feel proud today - he was able to save a 25 year old crown that came off. Had the crown been anyone else’s work I would have had to endure a full replacement. Since the original crown was made and put in place by Dr. Tanaka the quality was so good he was able to save it and put it back in place! Well done all!

I found Dr.Paul while searching for help with my TMJ/TMD. I felt Welcomed and the genuineness of Dr.Paul & staff as soon as I walked in the door. I always feel that they have my best interest in mind while being treated. I appreciate Gladys for her kindness and exceptional care. And of course the fun and humor that Dr. Paul always adds and mixes in as part of his treatments. I’ve always been a “Challenging Case” but I somehow always feel at ease knowing that if need be, Dr. Paul will go the extra mile to find the best solution. I’m thankful that I found Dr. Paul.

First impression are crucial, Chantelle provided a WARM greeting that sets the mood for a wonderful experience. Jennifer did a fantastic cleaning with that soft firm touch only experienced Hygienists can provide. She was professional and thorough and it was demonstrated in her efficient clinical technique. Dr. Paul with his humor is like a warming fireplace. The staff always couteous. Thanks to Chantelle for escorting my 5 yr old to bathroom. Where else can you find such clientele, not customer service. Mahalos, can't wait to come again!!!
JoAnn
Everyone is professional, friendly and patient, especially Dr. Tanaka. Love the perspective and accommodation. I highly recommend them. Their work is excellent. The only suggestion I have is if the staff could wear name tags. A minor inconvenience.

ET
I first started to go to Dr. Paul because I told him I hate dentists—well actually dental work. I hate the drilling and taste of blood etc. in my mouth. To my surprise, Dr. Had modern equipment that dissipated my fears. I was numbed to not hear drills, water is prayed often and sucked up so no spitting. Everyone is cheerful, greet you with sincerity, and truly the visit is done with the latest equipment and done thoroughly. I appreciate that everything is visible to the patient to see and all concerns are addressed and recorded. Every cleaning visit is ended with Dr.’s final inspection.
DJ
Cheerful, Friendly, Expert, and Caring. Highly recommend.
I’’m a new patient of Dr Tanaka and I have never had a more thorough exam from my teeth to my gums to muscles around the mouth, joints of my jaws, etc. I was so impressed. He used very updated X-ray machines. The cleaning I received from the hygienist was also thorough and gentle. The atmosphere there is uplifting, fun and bonding. I’ve never enjoyed going to the dentist till now.
Dan Walter
Dr. Tanaka was, as usual, pain free. I didn't even feel 'the little pinch'! The staff makes going to the dentist worth the trip. Now if he needs to work on getting the 'glass cesspool' to look like a fish tank again! Mahalo Nui Loa!
Nancy
Dr. Tanaka and his friendly, efficient staff are wonderful! From the moment you enter the seasonally decorated office, until the time you leave with a treat, you feel welcomed, relaxed and appreciated. My family and I have been patients for over 25 years and recommend Dr. Tanaka to friends and family without hesitation. Dr. Tanaka is professional, personable, and gentle and provides excellent dental care!

Atsuko
As usual, had a wonderful experience with Dr.Tanaka Nd his staff. Mahalo for a great job!
Rori
We have been seeing Dr. Tanaka for over ten years now. We started seeing him just after we moved to the island. My mom, dad, brother and his family were, and still are, seeing Dr. Tanaka. We come from Kailua for our appointments. We do this because of the friendly staff but, most importantly, the quality care we receive from Dr. Tanaka and his staff. He is the best dentist and the staff are always friendly. We highly recommend Dr. Tanaka
Jenny
This review is so long overdue! Where do I begin?! Doc and his crew are AMAZING! Upon walking in to leaving their office, they have always made me feel so cared for, everytime. Their services are on point, their after care is just as good and their ability to make you laugh but still be professional are the type of people I want to do business with (just my personal preference). I went to doctor for some MUCH NEEDED cosmetic dentistry and for over a year, I kept going back and forth due to family circumstances. This investment was going to be $20k+ so I had to make sure all my ducks were lined up before moving forward. Dr. was always there to work with me and my timeframe and throughout the process, I always felt at ease knowing that I would be fully taken care of. Dr. Tanaka and his crew deserves an A+ to infinity! Thank you for all you do and for being you ?? If you're looking for a new dentist or thinking of getting some work done, give them a shot, they will not disappoint!
Doc and staff are true professionals and make the office a happy place to be. Thank you ALL for the impeccable work and non-stop laughs!

Thank you for your excellent care!
Very appreciative for scheduling me an emergency appt during your busy day and especially the good news about my cracked tooth repair!

Staff is always pleasant and great service!
As always the case, the staff were very professional and efficient. I enjoy seeing all of them and Dr. Tanaka. This time, we had a bigger issue yesterday than just cleaning and Dr. Tanaka with his team did a great job with my bad tooth. Also, I am impressed with his new branding! The colors are memorable and the logo is perfectly describes Dr. Tanaka's appreciation for ocean life.
