I felt somewhat nervous for my visit with the dr, but Dr. Koga put me at ease. Everything he has recommended to do for my foot has worked in making it feel better! And for that, I’m so grateful!

Courtney Romeo Apr 14 2024

Review for Eric Koga

As I wanted a sedation dentist for my implant procedure, I was referred to Dr. Liberty by my dentist in Jackson, CA. It's an hour drive to his office but well worth it. Everyone in the office is very professional and pleasant. I am not an expert on the dental equipment available, but I am impressed...

Apr 13 2024

Review for Dr. Liberty

I had an excellent result. After 8 weeks I have nearly full range of movement with little to no pain. His office visits both pre and post surgery were on time. Previous orthopedists had refused to do the surgery due to my age and health.

Review for Dr. Takenishi

Dr. Patel always takes the time to explain your progress and treatment plan even on his busiest days.

Soren Johnson Apr 12 2024
