PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Tanaka has been taking care of my teeth for over 5 years now and I can honestly say that he and his staff are the best dental team I have ever had. Dr. Tanaka offers his valuable time to thoroughly explain everything to my satisfaction. I would not go to another dentist even if they offered me free dental care, he is that good a dentist.

Dr. Tanaka has been taking care of my family’s dental health for many years. He is a very friendly professional doctor and thorough with his examination. Dr. Tanaka takes the time to explain his analysis of your dental health, the procedure he will perform and your treatment options. He will tell you what needs to be taken care of immediately and what you should watch for future treatment.  His office has a very nice “aloha” atmosphere and his staff are all very nice and friendly. His modest office is warm and comfortable, unlike some of those practices with lots of chairs and doctors all running around everywhere. Dr. Tanaka and his team feel like family and I recommend my all family and friends to his practice.

Dr. Tanaka is a great dentist! He does tons of teaching and is very thorough. He gives you options for your care plan. I unfortunately need a lot of work done and he gave me different options with varying prices and let me decide which route I wanted to take without making me feel bad! It’s no pressure! I’ve also never had any dentist evaluate me for oral cancer – he really takes it up a notch! He is also very accommodating to my sensitive teeth and took care to avoid too cold or too hot temperatures. Highly recommend Dr. Tanaka!

He’s super! I was referred to him from my specialty dentist. I went in for a consultation  a few months ago. His staff is very friendly, and so is the doc. Doc Tanaka took LOTS of time evaluating my case and explaining possible solutions. Although I didn’t treat my tooth with him this time due to the other tooth being treated by another doc., I’d definitely go back if the next chance comes up. He seemed to be a sincere, caring doc.

Exceptional, competent, well educated dental professional.  Dr Tanaka and his friendly staff make you feel confident you’re in good hands. He’s been our family dentist for over a decade and feel fortunate he’s always there when we need him.

My mom and I have been patients of Dr. Tanaka’s for a very long time. In addition to being a great dentist, he’s also got a fun personality. When I was a little girl he used to let me put on gloves and a mask and be his “assistant” when my mom was in for her appointments. He’s just a very sweet man! (Just to be clear, he’s not a children’s dentist.) Whenever I hear people complain about their dentist I’m always quick to recommend him. Everyone I’ve sent to him end up loving him. I think it’s actually impossible not to. 🙂

About 10 years ago, my old dentist passed away from old age, so some friends referred me to Dr Tanaka, as their entire family uses him as their dentist.  Its been about 10 years and I’m still with Dr. Tanaka, and very happy with him. He’s professional, has great bedside manners, and gets to know his patients on a personal level, like asking about my Ducks hockey, about my upcoming travel plans and such.  To him, I am not just another client or number. His staff are courteous and great with patients.  They remember when they worked with you (even though I had no clue) and make sure I am comfortable when I go in for a cleaning/ check up.  

I am giving Dr Tanaka and his friendly staff 10***** I chipped my front tooth cracking a pistachio, and  I was mortified! It was a 3 day Holiday and all I keep thinking was I cant wait to get back home and call Dr T, and thankfully I  got a same day appointment they got me in and out in about 1 hour, I was so relived to be able to smile, laugh and be confident once again!! Thank you Dr Tanaka!!!!

Dr. Tanaka is our family dentist and has become like a friend of the family. Appointments never feel rushed, treatments are explained and reviewed and Dr. Tanaka’s whole team is friendly and helpful! I wish I could give more stars!

Kevin, you’re da Man! Even tho you’re closed due to the covid-19, you came in for my broken tooth. Thank you! And thank you for taking all the safety measures to protect us from the virus.

Dr. Tanaka was referred to me by a family member who has gone to this dentist for years. The office was able to get my +1 in for an emergency crown repair on short notice, and then got her back in shortly after for a follow-up and cleaning. I myself needed a new crown so I scheduled myself, too. First, I got a basic exam and teeth cleaning by Kelly. She was easy going and professional, and that part went (relatively) painless. I had gone to another place a few years back that practically butchered my mouth and made it hard to eat for a few days, so it was nice having someone who knew what she was doing. Afterwards, Dr. Tanaka took a look at my tooth with the missing crown and made a few recommendations, explaining both to me and the assistant/resident/student (I mean no disrespect, just not sure) what he wanted to do and why. I felt absolutely confident that I was getting the best possible care.

I love going to the Spa of Tanaka! Jamie is very good at what she does and makes the experience very enjoyable. She makes my teeth look wonderful and does it in a way that allows me to completely relax when I lay in that chair. Dr. Tanaka is very good at what he does which is why my entire family calls him our dentist/friend. I would highly recommend you bring your family to see the Tanaka team as they are all that you can ask for in dental professionals. Thanks again for an excellent experience until the next one.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tanaka for over 20 years. Have been very pleased with the care. Began with Dr. Tanaka after becoming unhappy with another dentist.

I’ve been to many dentists and it is so hard to find a good one. Dr. Tanaka is exceptional and truly cares about his patients giving them attention and not treating them as a number that he is trying to push out. Highly recommended!

Dr. Tanaka and his staff are the best. I went here because I’m new to the area and saw he had good reviews on Yelp. I’m so happy I choose his office. He is very knowledgeable, explains all your options related to your dental care, and he’s very nice. The hygienist who saw me was Jamie, she was great. She is also very knowledgeable and very kind.   I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Tanaka. I didn’t know awesome dentists like him even existed.

Dr. Tanaka has been taking care of my dental health for many years. He is my best example of how to practice dentistry; professional, personal, efficient and cost conscious. I like a healthcare professional who can explain treatments in a manner which can be understood. Dr. Tanaka does this enthusiastically! I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Tanaka. If you are looking for a great family dentist your search can stop here.

I have a follow-up appointment myself, and though I never look forward to dentist appointments, I look forward to having my teeth taken care of. I have no doubt I’ll receive the same quality care and expertise that made my family refer him to me.

Doctor Tanaka is the best. I get my teeth cleaned w/him every 4 months. His staff its warm & friendly. The office is clean & modern. Yet he offers affordable options when something isn’t covered under insurance.

Doctor Tanaka is the best dentist that I found in my 26 years since moving from LA County to Orange County. Dr. Tanaka has seen my kids grow up, (i.e., they’re all adults now), taken excellent care of their teeth. Furthermore, he explained in a kind, funny, honest and non-threatening way, the reasons for flossing. Spoiler alert…, “Just floss the ones you want to keep.” His staff is very good. I do miss Nancy cuz she would call my husband at work (I.e., at my request; cuz my husband didn’t take oral hygiene seriously when he was a much younger man, now he does and he’s so much more heathier, overall) and surprise him with a humourous reminder to see Dr.Tanaka for a check update and cleaning (2xs a year).
Dr. Tanaka is a kind, honest, highly ethical & intelligent dentist. He takes the time to explain specifically with great detail the task at hand. He works collaboratively with me and gives me choices (e.g., gold or porcelain  crown). I trust him and I am totally satisfied with the results. Dear Dr. Tanaka and Staff, Season Greetings: Health, Joy, Happiness, & Peace of Mind to you and yours.

I went there last year and had to have quite a few procedures done. I was nervous at first but after talking with Dr. Tanaka I realized really fast that I was in great hands. He is very intelligent and does a great job putting your mind at ease. He is very articulative and extremely gentle when it comes to working on your teeth. I had major work done which took numerous trips to his office. I was always seated relatively quickly and worked on shortly there after. Dr. Tanaka was extremely professional and was very informative while explaining options aswell as post dental work treatment. And my favorite part was that he always hit the nerve perfectly while using the numbing agent. And to make sure you felt zero pain at all he would make a point to ask periodically throughout the procedures how you’re doing,however I never needed a second shot because he does an excellent job numbing.

We have been coming to Dr. Tanaka for many years. He was first recommended to us for a good, gentle and patient dentist for our son with autism. Our whole family has found him to be wonderful for routine dental treatment and also for emergency situations. We HIGHLY recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tanaka’s for many years and he always stresses preventive care for one’s teeth. He is a conscientious doctor and gives quality care at moderate cost to his patients. He is someone who is not only honest but personable as well.

Hands down, one of the best dentists.  My family has been going to him for decades and we all love him. My mom moved out of state a few years ago, and still comes back twice a year to “visit” us and see Dr. Tanaka. He is very kind and keeps a very clean office. My mom was one of his first patients and his hygienist at the time said that the doctor was the cleanest dentist she has ever worked for. We usually have Jamie, but all the hygienists we have seen are great

Best dentist ever! I’ve gone to so many over the years and not one dentist compared to Dr. Tanaka. I’ve always been big on taking care of my teeth. Paid for my own braces and wisdom teeth removal when I was 20/21 so I’ve always been big on researching the right dentist. He is fabulous with my boyfriend and his family as well as hilarious with my son. I recently convinced my mom and dad to go to him since they haven’t been to the dentist in over 25 years!!!!! Yikes! Turns out they love him as well! Dr. Tanaka should be everyone’s pick since he and his staff are truly the best out there. Please, don’t go anywhere else!

My grandparents have been going to Dr. Tanaka for years! They referred me to him when I was having a tooth ache and being fearful always of the dentist, I knew because they spoke so highly of him I felt like I would be in good hands. (Turns out they were right!) I’ve been a loyal customer to Dr. Tanaka for over 10 years. He works with you in what is best and cost efficient for you. (Gives you options) what will be good in the long run & what is good temporarily. Everything is alway explained throughly and efficiently.

Dr. Tanaka is the most exceptional dentist I have ever ever ever had! He has been in our family for many many years, and continues to exceed our expectations! If you’re looking for an over the top, skilled, sincerely caring, honest, trustworthy, and direct professional, YOU JUST FOUND HIM! THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF THE BEST! I have had emergency visits after hours, and he is beyond reasonable, very very very honorable, and will make your smile worthwhile! Thank you so much Dr. Tanaka! Because of you, I HAVE REGAINED MY CONFIDENCE!!

Dr. Tanaka has been our family dentist for more than 20 years. He has kept our teeth healthy and helped our son feel comfortable with coming to the dentist. He is one of the best dentists in Orange County, according to my cousin who is a dental assistant.

Dr. Tanaka is a real professional. My tooth chipped and he took me immediately – filled my tooth quickly, efficiently, and with absolutely no pain. He is knowledgeable, clearly passionate, and very respectful. No game playing, no up selling, no guilt trips, just honest and forthright. If you want a Dentist you can trust to do quality work without fuss, then this is a perfect place.

Dr. Tanaka and his staff are very professional, very knowledgeable and friendly. The office is run efficiently with well-trained staff. Dr. Tanaka is a very good dentist with a great friendly and professional manner. The dental hygienists are thorough but gentle.

My girlfriend has a dental emergency late last night.   We called his emergency contact number and were able to immediately get seen and treated.  He was extremely kind and courteous to my girlfriend who has struggling with pain and aesthetic damage done to her mouth.   He put together an action plan for us, the needed referrals and even had coloring books on hand for my sons while he squared my Girl away. If I could give him more stars, I would.
