"Dr. Kau and his staff is absolutely amazing! They are kind, caring and understanding. Everyone knows my autistic daughter is scared most times but the staff makes her as comfortable as can and they are great under pressure especially working with my daughter who isn’t so cooperative. They are also amazing with my two boys. I love the fact that he communicates what the plans are for the visit . I wouldn’t want my kids to go anywhere else! I truly appreciate Dr.Kau and his staff for all that they do for my kids ."

"As others have stated, Dr. Kau and his staff are awesome. Friendly, efficient, caring. Dr. Kau himself is great at explaining things and making my kids feel comfortable. He's a worthy successor to Dr. Ohata. They have a smooth system for using text messaging & email for reminders and can handle the fact that my cell phone is only for texting and call me when needed on my home phone!"

Dr. Kau is professional, courteous and has excellent bedside manner with the children. Sad that my youngest child will be aging out of his practice soon! "

"We inherited Dr. Kau when our dentist retired. We have been very pleased with him and his staff. Recently our teen had 4 teeth extracted in prep for braces. Dr. Kau explained everything ahead of time, answered whatever questions we had. Our teen said 'it was like a dream, didn't hurt at all'. He was very pleased with what could've been a traumatic experience. We highly recommend him!"

"Dr Kau, along with his staff, are always friendly. They interact with my 5 year old and make sure he is comfortable and make it fun. I love that I am able to sit with him during his appointment and ask questions and it makes me more comfortable. Great choice for a pediatric dentist. "

"Dr. Kau and his staff are super nice, and the appointment was quick and efficient. I was very happy to see everyone continuing to take precautionary measures in light of the pandemic. A quick call to the front desk prior to arriving (they will ensure the waiting room is sanitized prior to you entering the office), temperature check, and sanitizing station will help you feel at ease. Great service from beginning to end and the best dentist for your child!"
