We love Dr. Fukuda and all the dental hygienist's. They're amazing with kids, especially Marie! My girls actually love going to the dentist:

Report
I've been bringing my son there for about 4 years now. He is 15 with Autism and the staff have handled him way beyond what I expected. Dr. Fukuda is so patient with him and talks him through every step of the visit. I've never seen my son so calm at the doctors office. I highly recommend anyone with a special needs child to visit them.

I brought my son here for his first check-up, and it exceeded my expectations. The staff is so friendly and patient, and they know how to work with kids. The office has an office dog (on Fridays!), fish, entertaining toys, and stickers. They created such a great environment that he didn't want to leave (he actually ran back in a couple times). Would highly recommend!
