What a breath of fresh air the Kuratomi dental office is! Dr.Jamie Kuratomi is an awesome practitioner with an excellent bedside manner. I really appreciate her gentle touch and concern for my well being. That's not all! Dental Technician Juana is fantastic as well: polite, engaging, and down to earth, providing an environment conducive to maximum comfort. The front office is kind considerate and happy. Thank you so much for the excellent experience. I look forward to a great Doctor Patient relationship going forward. Greg read more

I miss you and your work. I rarely give my two cents but I have to recognize great work and the attention to detail. My hat is off to you and your team. read more

My husband lost a crown while flossing last week. The next day was Thursday before July 4th weekend and dental help was hard to find! We needed a dentist due to insurance changes. Because of the exceptional patience (my husband was 40 minutes late at the end of the day due to holiday traffic!) and great work of Dr Kuratomi and his daughter, we will absolutely make this office our new choice for dentistry. read more

All of them are so friendly and kind that we trust only this dental office in Ca. four years ago, we moved to another city hours drive away, but still drove back to them to fix my denture or extract my tooth, because of trust. A few days ago, I had a tooth dropped from my denture that they made for me four and a half years ago, I made an appointment with Dr. Kuratomi on Thursday (yesterday, Mar.30) to fix it. This is the third tooth that dropped from the denture. I never complained about any troubles or questioned the quality, because I trusted them and I knew they could fix it quickly. But, this time, I felt so disappointed. Yesterday, around 11 am, I was so happy to see my denture fixed, even though I could not use it at once because of some strange odor which made me sick. I remember last time I could use it at once after fixed, no odor at all. I trusted them very much, so I thought I could soak it with denture cleaner for hours and then wash it up, the odor should be gone. But I was wrong, the odor was still the same yesterday evening. I could only eat some porridge without denture. I texted them, and got answered: No problem, you can try soaking in mouthwash, but no matter what you do, it will go away by itself." I thanked them and soaked it in mouthwash overnight. But this morning I found the odor was still the same, as soon as I put the denture in my mouth, the odor made me vomit. I texted them again and asked them how long the odor would go away. No answer any longer! We drove hours and paid $155, but I cannot use my denture now, whether the glue that they used is toxic or not, it makes me feel sick and vomit. I give them 3 stars, because I want to give 5 stars for their previous services, and one star for this time. read more

Reed and his team are the BEST! Whether it's just a cleaning, a filling, or rebuilding a tooth, their work is excellent!

This office is the best, they take such good care of me every time I'm there. Everyone has such a bright positive vibe which is great for a person that has a lot of anxiety about the dentist office. So lucky to have found Dr. Jamie! read more

forget about the free consultation! no no no! not free, only free, they said if they check one tooth, so once you open your mouth full of theeth, then good luck with that! still nice customer service and they are nice. another thing i like is they don't just try to empty your pockets, which is nice! 1 start for custumer service 1 start for dr. reed taking the time to talk to us and introducing himself, very nice man! 1 start for care took 2 start off for false advertasing! read more

Reed Kuratomi, DDS - The look of outside office! - General Dentistry Near Me - Soquel, California

Today was my first visit and it was fantastic. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They took full X-rays and gum measurements. Gave me a great eval and then I went over to a dental hygienist for a cleaning. She too did a great job, gave me tips and tools to better clean at my gum line and did a great cleaning. They also are very Covid conscious and have safety measures in place to ensure a healthy environment for both clients and staff. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Dishonest. They offered us a 5% discount on a crown replacement but did not honor it at the time of payment.

From my first call, the customer service I received from the office was amazing! Went in for an exam and COVID protocols were in full force and effect--mask required to enter, temp taken, hands sanitized, and questioned on symptoms. All staff wore masks, shields, and gloves. All of the staff were super friendly and gave a thorough explanation of what was happening next. The dentist did a thorough first exam, was very gentle, and checked with me as to how I was doing as she went. When it was time to head out, Rosie set my next appointments and explained what my insurance would cover. I was also given a swag bag for being a new patient. I'm looking forward to my future appointments! Did I really just say that about the dentist's office?? read more

I just switched to Dr Kuratomi from a previous dentist. My first visit was awesome. I came on the recommendation of someone else and I'm glad I did. So far, so good. read more

I changed to this dental office 2 years ago after a less than impressive experience at my Capitola dentist. I wish I would have made the change years earlier. Everyone in this office is very professional and extremely competent. I have found other dentists to be quick to suggest unneeded procedures, whereas Dr Kuratomi's office is straightforward and quick to give you all the facts, pluses, minus', etc. also they don't try to sell you teeth whitening or other things to "improve my smile" which I appreciate. read more

They are just so amazing! They really care for the patients and Dr. Kuratomi is always there giving his expert advice and care.. such nice people. xo Caitlin read more

I used to be extremely dentist-phobic. Dr. Kuratomi and his staff really went the extra mile to help me adjust and get over my fear. His practice combines technology with solid dental knowledge and lots of heart. I've had caps done, fillings and even deep root cleaning. All of my treatments were so expertly administered that when my 92-year-old friend Anita needed a dentist and was a little nervous, I referred her. She loves Dr. Kuratomi and the entire staff - they make her feel very special. Exceptional care, an excellent, concerned staff and a well-run office. I trust Dr. Kuratomi completely. read more

I had an initial new patient visit today at Dr. Kuratomi Dentist office. It was awesome and everyone at the office was so nice, competent, helpful, and thorough. So glad to be part of this dental office. A big THANK YOU to all of you. Keep up the great work. read more

Reed is a excellent professional. His office runs as one would expect: on time, in control, ready to help. They deal well with the vagueries of insurance. The dental assistants are friendly, professional, communicative, and relaxed. We live in Daly City and come down to Soquel for our dental read more

Great dental practice! Dr.Kuratomi's staff is punctual, efficient, and genuinely concerned for the patient. I told the hygienist that I have sensitive gums. She suggested a mouthwash that numbed me enough to make me comfortable while having my teeth cleaned. In addition they showed beautiful nature photos on the screen above the patient's chair that were very calming. Truly a great group of dental professional! read more

Reed Kuratomi and Staff Rock! Always friendly and helpful. We love them and have been going here for over 18 years! read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Kuratomi for over 20 years and have had nothing but excellent experiences. Our requirements included crown replacements and other more serious dental work, as well as regular cleaning and check-up appointments. All members of the staff are very professional, pleasant and very competent. I would highly recommend the Kuratomi dental clinic to anyone living in Santa Cruz County (or beyond)! read more

Knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Dr. Kuratomi provided excellent advice based on years of experience. Recommended.

Best dentist ever. Office staff, hygienists and dentists are all friendly and professional. A very warm, personal environment.

The sweet spot in dentistry! Cheryl is so nice to be with and is Sooo good at her cleaning skill. The rest of the staff is also kind and on top of it. Much happiness... even in the waiting area! read more

The Kuratomi's are great. Friendly, professional and always do good work. I've never had an issue with them and they currently treat the whole family. So, lucky to have found this place. Plenty of parking and building is clean. read more

Dr. Kuratomi has been my dentist since 1988 and I have always appreciated that he does not push any procedure on you and have also liked his kind and gentle manner. His daughter Dr Jaime Kuratomi also has inherited his great qualities and although I was hesitant to have her do my cavity and crown, my fears were allayed within 2 min.! I have also had Larisa as my hygenist for the same amount of time and would never switch! read more

I love this Dentist office. They are so good With you and I have had nothing but the best experience ever here. I have been a patient for over 6 years and I will never change. read more

A great dental family! Had a super cleaning thanks to Pat, one of our awesome hygienists. Saw the sweetest doctor ever, Dr. Jaime Kuratomi who made sure I was comfortable the whole time :) and the dental chairs are so comfortable lol read more

I just started seeing Dr. Kuratomi this week when I broke a molar and my regular dentist couldn't fix it for 2 months. The staff is really friendly and so far my visits have been extraordinary. They even give a senior discount, which means a lot to me. They are very professional and so far, no pain! Loving it. read more

Dr Kuratomi and staff are second to none! My family has been going here since moving to Santa Cruz county back in 1991! We just lucked out since we needed a dentist nearby for a tooth issue shortly after moving here! You are treated like royalty as they greet you warmly upon arrival, the office is newly remodeled and lovely! Upon leaving the office they always make sure you have your 'mouth tools' and flowers! if you have your appointment toward the end of the day, you may luck out and get to take an entire bouquet home! :-) All my treatment whether it is a filling, cleaning, xray, etc... have been pain free! Maybe some discomfort after the procedure but nothing major or memorable! Great job! very gentle while working in the mouth as well! Just make an appointment and go, you will not be disappointed! read more

Absolutely flawless experience. Everyone on this team from the front office to the dentists is top-notch. I suffer from dental anxiety and my teeth and gums are extraordinarily sensitive so even cleanings are substantially painful. I was treated with great patience and kindness, and the team is very thorough and experienced. I think I've found my new dentists! read more

This is the fourth dental office I have been to in Santa Cruz. I was initially attracted because of the evening hours, but I like it more each time I visit. The secretarial staff is accommodating and up-front with costs and the dentists and hygienists very skilled. But this past week I went to Kuratomi's office to get set up for whitening, and I think they officially won me over by letting me save (maybe $200?) by agreeing to make the whitening tray from the molds I already had. They could have made more money, but let me save it instead. I appreciate that. read more

I have been going to Reed for 18 years, my husband for about 30. He is amazing. Very professional and gentle. His staff is terrific too. I highly recommend his hygienist Larissa . Always on time, they do a fabulous job. read more

I have been seeing Dr Kuratomi for about 20 years and have always received beyond superlative treatment for both dental work and cleanings. My most recent experience was beyond extraordinary. Dr Kuratomi and his daughter both personally saw me on a Sunday afternoon on their days off to consult with me on my emergency dental issue. They gave me an excellent consultation and offered me a few great referrals, one of which ultimately performed the surgery the following day. Dr. Reed Kuratomi even called me to check on my status after the surgery the following day. I feel honored to now be and to have been under the care of Dr. Reed Kuratomi and staff for the last 20 years. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Kuratomi's office. His entire staff is friendly, caring and helpful. He saved my tooth after others said it couldn't be done. I am so glad a friend suggested I visit his office. I have definitely found my forever dentist office. read more

Dr. Kuratomi is the best Dentist ever and his staff are kind, courteous, and very good at what they do. I always feel like I'm in calm, caring hands when I'm in his office. I had a really bad dentist when I was a child and became rather nervous about going, but the gentleness with which he practices dentistry has given me new confidence to make my visits. I can't recommend his office highly enough. read more

I've been with Dr. Kuratomi for two years now and I am VERY impressed with him and his staff. Two crowns were painless and quick. I've had numerous dentists in my life and he is the best so far. Relaxing and professional atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Can we talk about excellent and knowledgable care?! From start to finish, every need was met, and everyone in the office made extra effort to ensure I was comfortable and happy. Anyone looking for a new dentist office, or to make a change from their current one, I would highly recommend the excellent service provided by Reed Kuratomi and team! read more

My appointment went very well. I am very glad I met Doctors Kuratomi and their staff. I am grateful to have found Soquel Smiles.

By far the best Dentist office around. I've been seeing Dr. Kuratomi and his staff for over 30 years now and I live in San Jose. I'd highly recommend Dr. Kuratomi and his wonderful staff. read more

Best dentist I've found in santa cruz. Dr. Jaime Kuratomi has outstanding techinque. I felt ZERO pain with the anesthesia injections and drilling. LOVED their expertise and knowledge sharing. Reed and Jaime asked lots of questions and studied my teeth carefully (not rushed). Not outrageously expensive and high quality. read more

What a great experience I've had with Dr. Kuratomi and his staff! So friendly and mellow. I had a cleaning, a crown replaced, a ceramic crown, and a regular filling and all processes went really smoothly! read more
