I moved to the island 2 years ago, but always happened to be on the mainland with another dentist when it was time for routine care. Recently however, part of a filing came out and I needed to find someone here. I asked various friends for referrals, and eventually found Dr. Haruki through a referral from another dentist on island. I called and left a message late one afternoon. He called me personally that night to make sure I wasn't having an emergency. When I went in It turns out I had a cracked tooth and needed a partial crown. He took great pains to show me exactly what was going on - putting a camera in my mouth so I could see on a monitor what he was seeing, explaining what happens to old fillings (they expand over time and crack teeth!), and patiently answering questions. I was able to make an informed decision to get a crown rather than doing nothing and risk losing a tooth later on, and had the old filing removed and a temporary put on another day. I went back to have my teeth cleaned by the hygienist while waiting for the permanent crown, and that was also a good experience. The permanent crown arrived earlier than expected and again he personally called me to give me the option to come in earlier than an already scheduled appointment, so I could replace the temporary sooner. The whole experience was stress free, and I felt very fortunate to have found him. He will be my primary dentist going forward. read more
