Treating your family how we would treat our family since 1985.

About

Testimonials

 I can personally attest to Dr Yamamoto's professional demeanor and outstanding clinical and diagnostic abilities As a board certified periodontist, several years ago I had the pleasure of closely working with Dr Yamamoto. His treatment planning and clinical skills following my periodontal therapy were outstanding. In addition to his clinical acumen, his rapport, chair side manner, and sterile techniques were outstanding. I would, without any reservation, recommend Dr Yamamoto.

 I practiced in the Fairbanks area for over forty years. After I sold my practice I did locum tenens in several offices in the Fairbanks and North Pole areas. I was impressed with the quality of Dr. Yamamoto's work. His staff was professional and friendly and his office has to be among the cleanest in town. It was an honor to be a part of his office.
