Dr. Ezaki | Staff

Thanks for all of your support for the last 27 years.
-- Dr. Ezaki.

Our team is committed to your total health care and, as such, we are sensitive to your emotional, spiritual and physical health needs. Our purpose is to provide the highest levels of preventive, restorative and aesthetic care that will enhance our patients' quality of life and self-image. In summary, our mission is personal care and relationship building plus our continued commitment to excellence in restorative and reconstructive procedures.

With twenty-seven years of experience behind us, we carefully evaluate new products and new tools so that we can separate the fads from the significant developments. We know you want the best, but we also know that you expect good performance for your dollar. And we think you deserve it!

There's no one in this office who doesn't have to sit in a dental chair themselves at some time. We know firsthand the anxiety and stress you feel. We couldn't have created the extended family our staff has become if we didn't all want to do everything we could to make these visits as easy on you as we can.

We listen to you because we care. If there is ever anything that we can do to make your time with us easier, just tell us. Your comfort and peace of mind are top priorities with us.

Dr. Ezaki has been in practice since 1980. He is a graduate of the USC School of Dentistry. He has taught in the Adult Restorative and Children's Dentistry departments while on faculty at USC. Dr. Ezaki was named a Fellow in prestigious Academy of General Dentistry. He is also a Fellow in the Academy of International Studies for his outstanding contributions as a dental educator/ practitioner. He is a member of the California Dental Association, American Dental Association, Tri- Counties Dental Society, and the American Society of Dentistry for Children. He has been Chairman of the Rio Hondo College Dental Assisting Program and a Presidential Appointee to the Whittier College Alumni Board of Directors. He is frequently a guest speaker on dental health in our local school district and helped to initiate the dental screening program in the Walnut Valley USD. Dr. Ezaki also serves as a consultant/ lecturer to private dental practices.

An office is more than just the dentists who care for your teeth. It's also the people in the front who make appointments for you and who file your insurance forms. It's the dental hygienists who clean your teeth and the dental assistants who prepare for your visit so that your time with us is spent as efficiently as possible. We expect our staff to be professional, and they are! They keep up on the latest technology in their fields because they care about the quality of the work they do. We're proud of them and they're proud of themselves.
