I just had a root canal there done yesterday. The good is that it was quick, and I have negligible pain today - without pain meds.
The bad is that I felt pressured into getting the root canal yesterday. It was my first visit there, and if chose to think about it and come back later, it would cost an extra $170. I mean, root canals are a big deal, and the $180 that I had to pay for the procedure (with insurance) is enough to make me want to sleep on it for a bit. But nope, making a thorough decision would cost me $170. So, of course I did it. After signing the paper work, I asked to go to the restroom first, which was no big deal, but apparently I "lost my place in line" (assistant's phrase) and he went on to do a procedure on someone else. I felt like the whole operation was just get us in, and get us out and make as much money as efficiently as possible - not the patient's concerns and qualms over oral surgery. Thankfully, I had the time to wait while he operated on someone else, and thankfully the procedure was done well so that even if it was rushed, it was done well. But I would rather have waited to pay the $180 in full rather than put it on my credit card, when I wasn't exactly prepared to pay it. And I didn't like that he was jumping back and forth between surgeries.
And stupid insurance was not going to cover a little internal bleaching to make the tooth color match a little better the others, but that's not Dr. Sakamoto's fault.

Dr. Murasaki utilizes some of the latest dental technology, lasers in place of drills (no pain and considerably small holes), 3D imaging, and computer imagerty x-rays. The staff is friendly and always remembers your name.

I neve write review but my experience was so horrible I have to share. Dentist reviewed my health history PRIOR to me coming in. After x-rays and getting me settled he stated he refused to do my dental work. He said numbing wouldn't work for me. I'm a nurse so I asked what type of sedation he used cause fentanyl/versed works great for me. He REFUSED to tell me, stated since he's not doing the extractions he did t have to tell me. The nurse whispered that was what he used (why wouldn't he just say that!!!!) and I said that I do very well with that he said. I'm just not doing it. I'll refer you to Oahu! What? I'm in Hilo and don't want to go to another island for dental work. It was absolute BS and I would never ever reccome do him to anyone! He was rude and unprofessional and made me start crying. What a jerk.

Dr. Chock and his staff were very professional and courteous. The whole experience was positive. The office was clean and organized very well. I feel extremely blessed to have found a great dentist on my first try after moving to Hawai‘i. He was thorough and professional. The view from the dental chair was soothing and beautiful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
