I recently was involved in a Bike accident where I sustained many injuries, one of those injuries being my front teeth being knocked out. I was worried, depressed, stressed about finances & in a lot of pain. Luckily after making some calls I was referred to the offices of Dr. Patrick Yoshikane, & I am so fortunate I was. The offices knew my emergency & they were able to fit me in first thing in the morning to make sure I was okay & to fix my issue with my teeth. Upon arrival I was greeted by a wonderful staff who were so attentive, professional, & kind. My injuries were painful, I was upset, hurt & in shock still from the trauma & they did everything they could to make me relaxed, comfortable & at ease. The staff even took time to go over billing options so that I would be able to make it work with my finances which really was amazing to see them go above and beyond to breakdown & explain everything vs most places that just send you home with forms. After meeting with Dr. Yoshikane he reassured me I was in good hands & they were going to help me..... & they did! I left feeling like a new person, able to smile again & feel this burden of depression and stress lifted from shoulders. Every moment spent there was great, each person from their staff was so attentive & caring & answered all my questions, helped me, & made me comfortable. Also their follow up after my appointment has been so impressive & leaving the office I knew I found my new permanent Dentist office. Thank you so much again Dr. Yoshikane & Staff!!! Each of you helped me in my recovery so much & I look forward to seeing you all again & calling your offices my permanent Dentist home. More
I can't sing enough praises for Dr. Patrick Yoshikane and his team! Of all the dentists I have ever had, there is no other that can hold a candle to Dr. Yoshikane. I have been going to him for almost 2 years. Every time I go there, I always feel like I am at home with an on-call, personal dentist. I consider them like family that I could trust. I always have a great time, filled with laughter. Dr. Yoshikane's work is high quality, and every details, from their use of technology, super friendly knowledgeable, fun staff, to the ambiance. The best part is that my mouth is not swolen or feel that my face got punched from a couple of root canals. He is very gentle. He takes great pride in his work and treats his patients like the way he wants to be treat as a patient himself, with the utmost care. I trust him a ne his staff completely! They also work with me on prioritizing of what needs work on my teeth. Dr. Yoshikane and his team are a diamond in a ruff. Precious! More
Dr. Yoshikane is amazing! I went in Friday morning to my dentist in south Orange County and found out that I needed a root canal. Since my general dentist does not do them. I was referred out to an endodontist who was very pushy and way overpriced. I called my husband in tears and he reached out to Dr. Yoshikane who totally took care of me. First of all it was Friday his day off and he said how quick can you get to my office. I went straight in. The office staff was warm and kind and did everything they could to help me be comfortable. Even when Dr. Yoshikane gave me shots to numb me I could barely feel it. I was in and out within 40 minutes. His service , dedication, perfectionism and commitment was amazing. He even reached out to me over the weekend to make sure I was doing okay. I would highly recommend him to any friends and family. More
From the moment I walked into the office I knew that I had made the right choice. The ladies up front were so helpful and kind. Anyone I came in contact with were friendly and welcoming. Thank you Dr. Yoshikane for keeping me at ease during my appointment. You took the time to review the recommended treatment to ensure and mitigate any additional problems. It is very evident that Dr. Yoshikane is committed to providing the best patient care. I am glad I took the leap of faith to seek dental care with Dr. Yoshikane. Not only was I happy with my care, I also left with a thank you gift. So kind! Amazing dentist, dental hygienist, dental assistants and office staff! More
Dr. Yoshikane provided my treatment for my fillings and I can honestly say I’ve never felt more comfortable in a dentist’s chair. After being treated at his office, I feel very confident in my teeth and will continue to turn to him for all my dental needs in the future as I would recommend to anyone else! The practice also has the kindest staff that make you feel so welcome the moment you walk in the door and are also generous enough to give out complimentary cookies and coffee after my appointment was done. 12/10 service:) More
I had my first dental examination appointment with dr. Yoshikane today. It was a routine cleaning and they took dental X-rays. I was refered to his practice by my friend Rick. Dr. Yoshikane’s office was pleasant and professional in setting up my appointment. The dental cleaning and examination was thorough and efficient. At the conclusion of my appointment my expectations were certainly exceeded when dr. Yoshikane gave me a not only the standard toothpaste, dental floss, and toothbrush kit, but I also left with multiple types of hand sanitizers and a box of cookies. This was a memorable dental experience. Thank you dr. Yoshikane and staff! More
I’m new to the OC area, and found this place.. thank God I did!! They took care of me from the second I walked into the door. I came in to fix a chipped tooth, and now it looks better than it ever did! The ladies at the front desk are angels on earth.. they sent me off with FRESHLY BAKED COOKIES. Wow, it is so rare to walk into a business and be surrounded by such genuine and caring people like this!! I will be back in December for a good ol’ cleaning. I’ve never said this before in my life- IM EXCITED FOR MY NEXT TRIP TO THE DENTIST! Thank y’all for everything Update: I went back to Dr. Yoshikane for 3 cavities.. he filled them all in under an hour! I had no pain, and was even laughing while he did it because he is so good at making you feel calm and comfortable. His assistant is so sweet (just like everyone else in the office), she even gave me a blanket because I was nervous. Turns out, I had nothing to be nervous about! THANK YO More
I’ve been going to Yoshikane’s office for many years now, and it has been a great experience. Shirley, the hygienist, consistently gives quality cleaning and care, and will help you create habits to take care of your teeth. The front staff is polite and professional, and the entire office is clean and welcoming. Dr. Yoshikane also performed my wisdom teeth extraction surgery with general anesthesia and he did an amazing job. He explained the entire process to make me comfortable and even in post-surgery he was always available to answer questions about recovery. The surgery site was very well stitched up, minimizing bleeding and infection. I would definitely recommend this office if you’re looking for major surgery, treatment, or regular cleaning! Thank you so much Dr. Yoshikane! More
Dr. Yoshikane is a true artist! He does such beautiful work and is 100% committed to his clients and the quality of his work. He really makes you feel comfortable and has a wonderful and supportive staff. When you have dental work done, you want it done by a perfectionist. That’s is Mr. Yoshikane. More

I have been going to Dr Yoshikane for several years now. He provides excellent care with the most advanced technology. If you ask him "how does this work", or "how are you going to do that", he will patiently explain. I have had a lot of dental work done (fillings, crowns, extractions, root canals and an implant) and I have always had the best outcome with Dr Yoshikane! The front staff are wonderful, as well as the hygienist. Pricing is not any higher than any other dentists I have been to and.... THEY HAVE COFFEE AND FRESH BAKED COOKIES!!!! So I leave with a coffee and a cookie! Can’t get better than that! More

Dr. Yoshikane and his team are friendly, informative and ease the anxiety that dental visits bring. Over the years I’ve heard many horror stories about wisdom teeth removal so when my turn came to finally part with mine, I was very apprehensive. Dr. Y took the time to thoroughly explain all the pros and cons, laid out a detailed plan then he and his team made sure my comfort and care during the procedure were top notch. Visits to the dentist no longer trigger anxiety attacks thanks to Dr Yoshikane’s office. More
Dr. Patrick and his team far exceed all expectations! They take excellent care of their clients! They are great at communicating your appointments, costs and tips on keeping your teeth healthy! When you walk into the office you won't feel like you're in a dentist office because EVERYONE is so friendly and personable! Every employee goes out of their way to introduce themselves to you. Just like most people, I used to hate going to the dentist but now I look forward to my appointments every time! I can't wait to see everyone in the office! Dr. Patrick and his staff really are the best of the best! More
Dr Yoshikane and his staff are incredible! We called them on Thursday morning as my husband had been up all night with a toothache and our dentist was out of town. They squeezed him into their schedule and took care of his tooth with such professionalism and care. We cannot thank them enough for everything and will definitely be using him from now on. Thank you so much Dr Yoshikane and staff!! More
Unbelievably thorough! I feel very secure knowing Dr. Yoshikane is looking after my dental health. He and his whole staff are amazing...gentle, no pain, and everyone explains what is going to happen. Very professional, little to no waiting and up to the minute procedures. Excellent dr! More
Absolutely the best dental experience ever! Traveling for business in Orange County, I found myself having a serious dental emergency in the middle of the night. I found these folks after a little online research and called at 7:00 AM after they opened. They told me to come in right away and they would work me into the schedule. As suspected, I had a pretty serious infection and needed a root canal. Within an hour or so I walked out of there feeling great. Everyone from reception, dental assistants to Dr. Yoshikane was awesome! Friendly, professional, caring and compassionate. Reasonably priced, super clean, just everything about this awesome place and staff was remarkable! More
Well it has been less than 24 hours since I had my dental procedure, I would have probably waited a week before writing this review but my recovery has been excellent so I can review my treatment and experience with Dr Yoshikane and his team right away. I called Dr Yoshikane's office in early January and got some estimated prices for extracting the remaining 3 of my wisdom teeth. Leslie, Maria, and Blanca were all very professional and seem like the ideal people you would want to see working at a dental office. When I went in for my X-rays and CT scan. Dr. insisted there was a few other concerns he had regarding Tooth number 2, 3, and 31. I agreed because they have had work on them before( root canals and several fillings on the other). Maria set up the total estimate of the work I needed. I couldn't afford doing all the work so I left out tooth#31. They scheduled my surgery for a Saturday morning because I told them I can't get days off during the week. That was great, because it leaves me with ample recovery time before Monday comes around. Big procedure in my opinion, total cost was approximately $7600. That included xrays, CT scan, 3 wisdom extractions( 1 impacted), 1 root canal redone, 1 deep cavity, 2 crowns, and I also opted for Platelet Rich Fibrin for the empty spaces after extracting my wisdom teeth. If you haven't heard of Platelet Rich Fibrin, its similar to bone grafting but a bit more advanced and not too many Dentist have this technology on site(helps recovery time, regenerate tissue, and support jaw structure). Yes it is expensive but the fact that I have recovered in less than 24 hours is amazing. The procedure went very smooth, I was told I should be escorted there because I had to take medication the night before. But I was totally fine so I took myself an Uber. They sedated me with some more meds and began the work. I woke up sometime in the middle of the procedure, there were two wisdom teeth left to be extracted at that point. I was a bit sedated so I asked a few silly questions about if they were putting in the PRF or not. Then I fell back asleep for a bit. Woke up, didn't feel bothered or in pain at all. 4 and a half hour operation and I cant complain how well it went. Buddy picked me up and dropped me off at home where I drank some Naked Juice and Clam chowder, fell back asleep for about 4 hours and when I woke up I felt like eating KFC, drove myself there and picked up mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, cole slaw, and some chicken but I had to be careful eating the chicken. I haven't even been taking the pain killers that were prescribed. I am not in pain AT ALL. You know what that means right? The Dr. Yoshikane is a pro. I will be going back to their office day after tomorrow to get my post surgery follow up done and get my crown measurements. All in all, the procedure went WAY better than I thought it would, Conscious Sedation is actually awesome compared to getting completely knocked out. FYI, there is a risk of Nerve damage when removing your lower wisdom teeth, I was a little worried about that yesterday because even at midnight my tongue, cheeks, and lips were still numb. But when I woke up this morning, it was gone! All things considered, I give Dr. Yoshikane, his staff, and practice a very high rating. Quality and service is above average, cost is a little high but you get what you pay for. You WILL NOT find this kind of quality and service at most dental offices. PS: Shout out to the nurse who helped Dr Yoshikane during my procedure. I didn't catch your name but you were great! More

I've had a really hard time finding a good, reliable dentist. On the recommendation of a work colleague I went to Dr. Yoshikane and his team. I'm so SO happy I did. From the minute I talked to wonderful Blancha (I hope I spelled it right Blancha!) on the phone I knew it was going to be a great place. I chipped a tooth and was kinda freaking out about it but Blancha scheduled me almost immediately for X-Rays to see what was wrong. Dr. Yoshikane himself is just fantastic. So personable and explains every procedure he's doing. Angel, Shirley and Cherry were also wonderful! This office also adds little touches that makes you feel like they really value your custom, things like a coffee or tea when you leave or a lip balm if your lips are chapped during a procedure. Honestly I'm so happy, I can't recommend it enough. I just hope not tooooo many people go here so they still have space for me ;) More
Randomly called in because my wisdom teeth was hurting. Everyoneis very friendly. Staff and Dr Y. were able to take care of all 4 of my wisdom teeth extractions with NO PAIN. Anyone that is scared to get their wisdom teeth pulled should come here and follow his directions. You will not feel pain during or after! Thank you again! More

I went here for the first time after my aunt referred me for my wisdom teeth extraction, and I'm really glad she did! I'm highly satisfied with the quality and service of the staff. Once I walked in, everyone greeted me with a smile. The entire atmosphere had a warm and cozy ambiance. In addition,the front staff (Maria, Leslie, Angela, and Blanca) treated me with care and patience and really worked with me to schedule my appointments, so it wouldn't conflict with my midterms and finals. Last, but not least, Dr. Yoshikane, is one of the best! He greeted me with a smile and took the time to walk me through the surgery procedure. After the surgery, Dr. Yoshikane also made sure to follow up with me to check on how I was doing. Dr. Yoshikane and his staff emphasize the importance of caring for their patients. They go above and beyond not only when you enter but after you leave! Overall, I highly recommend coming here! More

I have been a patient of Dr. Yoshikane for nine years. I have had a full mouth restoration and people are constantly commenting on my beautiful teeth. His office staff is top notch!! They are professional, friendly, and always willing to help. The oral hygienist, Shirley, is meticulous and her work. Even if you are just getting your teeth cleaned, Dr Yoshikane comes into your room to at least say "hi" and ask how you are doing. His office is meticulously clean. He also has the latest technology to make your cleaning, X-rays, everything else required to make it more comfortable for his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Yoshikane to anyone who is seeking a new dentist!!!!Marion Lucero More

This is an awesome office that has great dentists and great customer service. They pay attention to all little details from welcoming you with a gift, to chapstick during you session, a warm towel to clean up, a Lindt chocolate on your way out and a newsletter that comes in your mailbox. I had a deep cleaning and had phone calls follow ups where they checked if my swelling went down. It's a detail that goes a long way. They also even have glasses to protect your eyes. Patrick and Shirley are very professional and your teeth are safe with them! I love that they explain to you what in the world they are about to do to your teeth before they do it. Also, Maria and the other secretaries are thorough in sending reminders and breaking down the cost so that you know ahead of time. Know that some of the things are recommendations and that you always have the final word. More

I would highly recommend Dr Yoshikane to anyone! The office staff (Maria and Leslie) are extremely warm and friendly and immediately make you feel comfortable in the office. As a new patient they walked me through the paperwork and offered coffee, juice, or tea immediately when I came in! Getting X-rays was quick and painless, and my cleaning was easy too. Dr Yoshikane came to see me at the end of my appointment and was nothing but friendly and thorough. The office itself is extremely well kept too. They play relaxing music, the walls are calming neutrals, and the fluorescent lights have fun tropical covers so when you're staring at the ceiling during your appointment it looks like you're in paradise! There's lots of parking outside of the offices too. More
Just recently, Dr. Yoshikane extracted two of my wisdom teeth. I was quite apprehensive about the procedure earlier this week, but prior to day of treatment, he assured me that I won’t feel pain during the extractions. He gave me thorough instructions the day before so that the procedure would run smoothly. The fact that he took time out of his day before and after treatment to see how I am feeling and if I have any questions/concerns truly made me feel cared about. I am so appreciate of him for this. Before I left, he gave me injections to prevent post-operational swelling and pain. I recovered with very very minimal pain, and I could not be happier. For those who are fearful of injections, by the way, you will not feel his (I have a very low pain tolerance and hate injections)! He genuinely treats every single one of his patients with exceptional care. I cannot recommend Dr. Yoshikane enough!I also want to add that I was mostly fearful of developing a condition known as "dry socket" after my wisdom teeth were extracted- I had heard that it is extremely painful. With his care and instructions, I did not have to worry about it whatsoever. Thank you again Dr. for making the entire process very comfortable for me. More

Dr. Yoshikane is probably one of the best dentists I've had, ever (and I've had a decent amount - I've seen at least 7 since my teeth started being a mess in high school, e.g. wisdom teeth removal, fillings, fillings repair, root canals, tooth implants, deep cleanings...). His office squeezed me in on Thursday after I'd called that morning with a terrible toothache (that I'd been frantically trying to schedule an appointment with any dentist in the OC area since Tuesday afternoon), which actually ended up not being a routine cavity filling breaking down, but a tooth infection that needed to be root canal'ed immediately, which they did, with a course of antibiotics, and also crowned. Three visits and a tooth cleaning later, my teeth (for now) are all set, and as dental work goes, it was probably as minimally painful and pleasant as the experience could be. They do all the small and large things right - the novocaine injections are painless, a blanket to keep you warm during long procedures, sunglasses so you don't blind your eyes staring into the dental light for two hours, thoroughly checking to make sure all the infected pulp is removed from inside your tooth during the root canal, actually measuring the pocket of your gums and letting you know where you might need to better focus on brushing, as well as making a routine cleaning as painless as possible, the list can go on but essentially, everyone in the office, not just Dr. Yoshikane, are great at what they do and super thoughtful and meticulous. And on top of that, the entire staff are friendly, funny, and all-around just great people to be be around. They call after large operations to make sure everything is feeling okay and better, text before your appointment for confirmation and as a reminder, their billing is straightforward, and treat you like a person, not just another appointment for the day to check off before they can go home. tl;dr Dr. Yoshikane is a great dentist, everyone in the office is awesome, and they're all super professional and make a dentist appointment something pleasant, rather than dreadful. I don't think I'll swap dentists while I'm in the OC area, because I doubt any office would actually be better, and would 100% recommend going to them as your dentist :) More

Dr. Yoshikane was recommended to us by a family friend for wisdom teeth removal and all I can say is... he’s really good at what he does! Dental care is expensive in general, but Dr. Yoshikane’s service is worth every penny. If you’re looking to get your wisdom teeth removed do it with him! He makes sure you don’t experience severe and unbearable pain and he’ll even follow up with you after the surgical procedure to make sure you’re doing well. His staff are so genuine and kind, they’ll get to know you on a first name basis. You’ll eventually end up liking visits to the dentist. More
Best experience ever!!! I don't really write many reviews unless I really really think it's necessary. If anyone is looking for a dentist, but not just any dentist. One where the office staff is very sweet and helpful and where the office is CLEAN, one where the dentist takes his time to care for all your needs not rush you out?! This is the place!! I'm never going anywhere else after the experience I had here. I got x-rays, cleaning, fillings, and wisdom tooth pulled out and it was a piece of cake. I felt well taken care of almost more like pampered. Best of all Dr. Yoshikane called the same day to check up on how I was feeling after my procedure. Love the fact they actually care about their patient's. The service here is QUALITY. More

SUMMARY: Hands down, the BEST dentist I've ever had. BACKSTORY: First of all, starting my search for a good dentist was not easy. I needed A LOT of work done on my teeth. I needed implants, tooth extractions, root canals, bone grafts.. You name it. God has blessed with me a weak enamel, predisposed to cavities. I started my journey at Western Dental, which lead them to destroy one of my molars.. So I decided to on yelp, hoping to find someone who could help me do damage control on my teeth before I lose it all before hitting the age of 30. At this point, I did not care how much money I was to going to spend on my teeth, I just wanted to get them done right in the first place so I can move on with my life. Dentist after dentist, It was a long and gruesome journey. I did bump into a few good dentists, but common downfalls for most dentists: (1) they look at you like a pay check, not a patient (2) they don't understand that dental work is VERY expensive and ironing out those details with your patients BEFORE charging them thousands of dollars on dental work before devising a financial plan is preferred by most. (3) Dealing with dental staff who hate their jobs (4) Did not have a good dental hygienist on staff REVIEW ON DR. YOSHIKANE'S DENTAL OFFICE: But complain or look no further! Dr. Yoshikane AND his staff are the best around. I'll will keep you updated if I ever find someone better, but as of yet, no one comes close! Dr. Yoshikane makes your visit very personable. Even with all the patients he have, or how busy he gets, he and his staff always made sure I felt comfortable, and was doing okay every step of the way. Great thing is, they never pushed me to do things for an upsell. Dr. Yoshikane knows what he's doing. He is confident and thorough with his work and believes strongly in integrity. He has a very broad spectrum of knowledge in his field. When things got complicated, he didn't kick me to the curb and gave me a specialist that he recommends. It was a one stop shop. After my first comprehensive exam and x-rays, Maria (their office manager) sat down with me and devise a plan that I could afford, while optimizing my insurance coverage. Maria was very thorough when helping me understand my coverage and even explained the dental work that was recommended by the dentist. Also, even if you're not here for major dental work, their dental hygienist, Shirley, is the best dental hygienist around! My teeth never felt so clean after a general routing cleaning. Afterwards, Shirley even took the time educating me on ways to improve my teeth and gums. Everyone there treated me with respect and was very genuine and honest. I just finished the last of the major dental work today. I've been going to Dr. Yoshikane for several years now and I have yet to have a bad experience. I left their office today, not only with a beautiful smile, but with a family. Oh and did I mention, they have fresh Otis Spunkmeyer DAILY in their waiting room? More

My entire family has been going to Dr. Pat for the past 16 years. We love him and his entire staff and they treat us like family. After I moved out of the area, I continued to fly back down to OC to see Dr. Pat. When I couldn't make it down, I saw a few other dentists who tried to talk me into unnecessary procedures, so I held off on any additional treatment with them aside from cleanings. When I moved back to OC and saw Dr. Pat again, he performed the right procedure and saved me $1000s in unnecessary costs. I recommend Dr. Pat to anyone and everyone - he's absolutely the best! More
I had my first appointment with Dr. Yoshikane in April after switching from another dentist. I did so based on the reviews here on Yelp. I have to say, I was impressed. Major improvement in professionalism and overall feel from my last dentist, although I didn't have major problems with her either. Dr. Yoshikane has a very clean office, and for some reason, that's the first thing I noticed when I came in and sat down in the examining chair. I was treated by a very kind and funny hygienist and no one tried to upsell me on any products or services, which is always refreshing at the dentist's office. Dr. Yoshikane came in after the cleaning and x-rays and I thought he was a very funny and kind individual, just like the hygienist. He was probably one of the more kind health professionals I've met and ditto for his office staff. They are also very engaging and very friendly. No ripoffs and no major costs as long as you keep up your dental care. For me it's worth the investment. Highly recommended. More

The second you walk into Dr. Yoshikane's office and meet his staff; you will feel right at home. He is an incredible dentist, and an even better person. He always makes himself available to his clients and isn't afraid to accommodate you in the case of a dental emergency. 5 stars without a doubt and I promise, you won't be disappointed if you go to Patrick!

MY OFFICE VISIT I was so impressed with Dr. Patrick Yoshikane and his entire office staff. I was only there for a dental teeth cleaning and check-up ... but everyone treated me as though I was there to see them! They were friendly, professional, and very helpful. The office atmosphere is so calming! Keep up what you are doing!!!!!!!!! More
Let me start by saying that I absolutely do NOT like going to the dentist. After being referred to Dr Yoshikane by a friend, I decided to give him a try. His staff is so friendly and knowledgable. My first appt was very thorough and my cleaning was the best I've ever had. Even their chairs are comfortable! Dr Yoshikane does everything he can to make your dental experience pain-free and enjoyable (if I can use that word for the dentist). I had a root canal and 2 crowns done. No complaints, no pain. He even offers sedation dentistry. I highly recommend Dr Yoshikane if you are looking for a good, friendly, knowledgable, and skilled dentist! More

I have been a huge fan of Dr. Yoshikane since I started coming to his office in 2013. Since then, I have been coming here for my regular teeth cleanings and love the cleanliness, friendly office staff and the fact that we never have to wait in the waiting room- they are always running on time and we are seated promptly as we arrive. I have started bringing my children (ages 2 &4) to the office for their cleanings as well, and they love it here too. Dr. Y is great with the ...kids and Shirley their hygienist has a great approach with the kids allowing them to hold Mr. sucky straw (I don't know the "proper name") and take part in the cleaning. Linda at the front has a treasure box for the end of the appointment which may be the boys favorite part, they come home with all kinds of goodies... Another reason I decided to update my review was because I needed to have the scariest dental procedure ever this year... dun dun dun... the root canal. In my head, I was very anxious when I heard that I needed to have this done because I have heard of friends who have had bad experiences... I came into the office with a terrible toothache and Dr. Y instantly stopped the pain. He then worked with Linda in the front office and found a way to schedule in my procedure for that afternoon- and within a few hours I was completely pain-free. I took Advil that evening, but by the next day- felt totally fine... root canal, no problem... no big deal. He even personally called my cell phone that evening to check in on me to make sure I was feeling ok after the meds wore off.... how many dentists out there would do that??!! There are people who do their job just because its their job.... and when they're off the clock they're done.... and then there are people who are truly compassionate doctors and masters of their craft... Dr. Yoshikane is the latter... he truly cares for his patients and ensures that they have a pain-free experience and receive the absolute best dental care possible. More

Patrick is beyond an amazing dentist he takes his time and explains everything so that you can understand why you need a procedure. The whole experience is very comfortable which is kind of weird to say this going to the dentist but that's the best way to describe getting your teeth cleaned and fixed with Patrick. This is by far the best teeth cleaning I have ever had with almost no discomfort, that would be 90 percent less than another dentist. Sitting in the chair was very comfortable with an incredibly relaxing pad on the dentist chair. I really enjoyed the nice window view and also the ceiling had a very picturesque picture that was relaxing. The music was very relaxing the whole time I was there it's almost like I should have been getting massage. Pat is incredibly comprehensive giving you several options on the cosmetic dentistry with things you can wait on, things that are argent and just purely cosmetic options. This gave me a clear view to have more than just what a dentist would want but what I would want financially and physically. Dr Pat I was also incredibly patient kind and also had a great sense of humor that lightens the whole dentist feel right out to a friendly conversation. I was very impressed with the office from the front staff to the hygienist to the doctor, I highly recommend you coming to this location as your Orange dentist. More

Dr.Yoshikane and his staff are absolutely the best people I’ve had the pleasure of going to. I came here after previously having my wisdom tooth extracted and having a horrible experience at Bright Now Dental on 17th street. I called them in tears because I was in so much pain and their lovely receptionist helped me get in that same day for a check up. My visit was great I couldn’t believe how nice everyone was and how caring and gentle, I had such a terrible experience the day before at a different dental office I was taken aback. The day after my consultation I was called by the doctor to check in on me and see how my antibiotics were working amazing! I cannot say ot enough this is the place to go. My husband’s going to be making an appt for his first visit too after he heard me raving about them. Highly recommend I wish u could give 10 stars! More
Dr Pat is a great dentist! Always professional, skilled and fast. My entire family goes to Dr Pat for our dental needs. Staff is great too. They communicate well with their patients and always do a nice job on cleaning etc. Pat has also recommended other providers to me in the past (orthodontia, oral surgeon, etc) and his referrals have always been top flight. I highly recommend this practice. More
I needed several crowns, as I was dealing with excruciating pain for the longest time. Dr. Yoshikane and the staff made me extremely comfortable and relaxed. They were very professional and very attentive to my needs. The chairs were very comfortable and I was offered a blanket. All I needed was my son's binky and I was at home. The pain is gone, and I can now look my taco supremes in the face as I devour them with ease. I look forward to going back for my teeth cleanings, and I recommend Dr. Yoshikane's practice to anyone in need of excellent, professional dental services. More
Going to the office of Dr. Yoshikane is about as pleasant dental experience as one can have. (Wondeirng how often ’pleasant dental experience’ appears in print - but feel that it is justified here!.) It is a high-end office with modern equipment and they do everything to help you feel comfortable - including blankets, pillow rests, and hot towels after your appointment. Sometimes I feel like I’m being prepped at a spa - ha, ha. I have been a patient of Dr. Yoshikane for over a decade and have had several procedures - teeth whitening, cavities filled, fillings replaced, teeth pulled, crowns (I should be toothless by now, but I’m not, thanks to Dr. Yoshikane). He has expertly managed my care over the years - careful to only recommend what is needed at the time it is needed. I trust him and have never felt like he is overselling me on anything - as has happened to me in the past with other dentists.As for the other office staff - extremely helpful in figuring out how to manage payment on more expensive work. They worked with me to set up an account with CareCredit who offers a year with no interest on major dental work. It worked out great for me when I needed 3 crowns. They also are good about calling to remind you of your appointment, etc. I’m also happy with my hygienist - she is very thorough and I feel super sparkling clean when I’m done! More
