Michael Fukawa, DDS

Dr. Fukawa and his team have been lovely to me as I have dealt with a very painful tooth issue that we attempted to save and do a root canal on. He is very patient with my hundreds of questions/​he made sure to sit and talk over all the issues I was facing and I felt very comfortable and taken care of when in his chair. The front office staff and his assistant were all very kind to me as well and helpful as I navigated thru the process. When I called in to be seen before my appt due to severe pain (which I was aware was most likely going to happen– and out of anyone’s control) they made sure to get me in the very next morning. I would recommend him to anyone needing root canal work.

I have had 18 root canals total in my life, 7 of them done by Dr Fukawa. I have to say, he is the best in terms of comfort during the procedure and comfort afterwards as well. Of the 7 that he performed, I only had to take *any* pain medication for one of them — and that was on a tooth where he had to re-​do a previous root canal.
To comment on Helen A’s bad experience with Fukawa’s front-​office and policy — I’m sorry that things didn’t go well, but I am pretty demanding myself and both the Dr and his staff have always treated me very well and gone out of their way to be helpful and accommodating.
They are not an overly gregarious crew in that office, but they have a very calm, reassuring demeanor that really helps one feel a sense of trust and confidence.

Dr. Fukawa is an excellent doctor. Professional, caring .
I came in with severe toothache that had started after the filling my general dentist placed few days prior.
Dr Fukawa took his time to make sure I was completely numb, it took awhile. He had to spend more time with me than was anticipated because of that. he was asking me several times if I was doing OK during the procedure.
The pain was gone, never had any complications .
Highly recommend.

I was referred to Dr. Fukawa by my regular dentist after complaining of severe pain on my left side rear molars. After a quick X-​ray to confirm the issue, Dr. Fukawa came in, explained what it was, explained what needed to be done, and asked if I had any questions. Which I did and which he promptly answered. (having had 2 root canals before — I had come in a little gun shy from the previous experiences).
Long story short — best root canal I have had! (if you can have a best of the worst thing).
Dr. Mike Fukawa and staff were professional. Procedure was virtually painless (compared to my 2 previous root canals). I would definitely recommend this office for any necessary endodontic procedures.

This is the most unproffesional dental staff I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with. They don’t return phone calls and ignore messages. I tried for TWO weeks to get through to the office staff and no one returned my calls. I finally got through to Kelly and she informed me that the high and mighty Fukawa does not accept cancellations of appointments especially for consults. It sure would have been nice to be informed of this ridiculous edict two weeks ago.
So let this be a warning to all of you. The next time you get referred to Dr. Fukawa, make sure you don’t fall ill, have a family emergency or get an unexpected demand to travel for business that would cause you to reschedule your appointment with him.
‘Man of few words.’ Sounds like a lovely guy.

Dr. Fukawa is a man of few words but a very professional and proficient endodontist. I had a rather deep and serious root canal needing to be done and was referred by my dentist. I was extrememly pleased with Dr. Fukawa. If you are looking for chit-​chat, this is not the office for you. But, if you are looking for a skilled yet friendly endodontist I urge you to see Dr. Fukawa. His staff are cheerful yet professional. I recommend him highly.
