Tanabe Jon T DDS

I recently arrived to island and started looking for a dentist. I read several reviews on Unilocal and selected DDS Jon Tanabe. Called the office and was able to schedule an appointment within two weeks. I was happy the staff was patience and worked with me in verify my insurance. There was clerical error of my records.
I arrived and found the waiting room empty, and intake was done quickly. Short while later I was taking to dentist chair. In all of my experiences, I have sat waiting for the dentist 10 – 20 minute until they appear. And periodically, they would leave me and work on other patients. Like they were overbooked and it was their practice to juggled patients throughout the day.
But Jon stayed the entire time with me. He thoroughly reviewed of my paperwork and began to examine my teeth. Which include cancer screening, which no mainland dentist has done. He explained what he was doing and what he found. He began cleaning my teeth and took his time in scaling them. He scaled areas at no other mainland dentists never have.
Afterwards, he polished them himself, instead of a hygienist. Since he did all the work himself, this allowed me time to ask him questions. Not only is the island is a paradise to live on, but I also have a great dentist, too.

Love my dentist!!! Dr. Tanabe makes it possible!
I chose Dr. T. on a recommendation from my boss. He takes his family to Dr. Marsha Tanabe (who, conveniently, happens to share a practice – and a marriage – with Jon Tanabe), and they rave about the Tanabes. I had to check it out.
The staff are immediately friendly and welcoming. Jade the receptionist is a gem (no pun intended), and the nurses are fantastic and gentle. Appointment reminders are friendly and not at all pestering. Dr. Jon is very thorough and supportive of oral health. No lectures or stern warnings – just concern and good advice for taking care of your teeth. He’s an Ohio State grad, too, so if you’re into midwest collegiate action, chat him up. He’s very amenable to building strong relationships with his patients.
My teeth have not felt cleaner or healthier than when I started seeing Dr. Jon. I’m fortunate enough to have solid dental insurance coverage, and I don’t usually need special services like fillings, etc., so I’m able to afford everything pretty easily. But, from what I’ve heard, folks would even hit up Dr. Jon if they had to pay out of pocket. He’s that good. :)
Brush on!

A great dentist and I’ve been going to him for at least 10 years. Does an excellent job on cleaning teeth yet is quite gentle. Really nice guy whose helped me pull out my wisdoms and verify a false alarm on a painful tooth. He’s a really good all-​around dentist and I highly recommend him.
