Our Patient Reviews

Incredible experience at this dental office! Although I initially thought the prices might be high, it was worth every penny! The team is exceptionally attentive and friendly, genuinely concerned about the patient's well-being. I'm thrilled with the results of my treatment and would undoubtedly recommend them to anyone. If you're looking for the best staff, service, and patient-centered care, this is definitely the right place for you!

Wendi is so kind and knowledgeable! She addressed all my concerns while performing a very detailed and painless deep cleaning! Also, she identified a couple areas of concern that I will have Dr. Sakamoto take care of on my next visit. The entire staff is friendly and helpful! Thank you for taking such good care of my teeth and gums!

2 weeks ago I had a dental issue that would have impacted a long planned trip I had the next day. Dr Mannava graciously worked me in and took care of this problem that day. I can't thank her enough for her kindness and the excellent treatment I received. I have been with Dr Sakamoto since the 1990's and this is a stellar practice! Dr Mannava is a wonderful addition to a wonderful office. Thanks so much!

Over the weekend I broke a tooth at the gum line. I called on Monday morning and Stacey was very kind and empathetic . She spoke to Dr Mannava and called me back with an afternoon appointment. I had to have my tooth extracted. The staff was phenomenal!! Very caring and empathetic as well as professional and efficient!! I would highly recommend this practice as they provide excellent patient care!

I have to say, I was highly impressed with the professionalism and cohesiveness of the team at Central Ohio Periodontics. Every single person I interacted with in the office was incredibly kind, sweet, and attentive. Dr. Sakamoto is truly a gem, and I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of periodontal care. I am looking forward to my next visit! Gary G.

Everyone was friendly and ever so helpful throughout my first appointment. My blood pressure even stayed in the normal range which is surprising since I’m someone suffering from the “White Coat” syndrome.😊Dr Sakamoto was as wonderful as I had heard him to be. So knowledgeable as well welcoming my thoughts as to my treatment. Something rare today. I was also impressed with assistant throughout. You all were as outstanding as my dentist Dr, Huelsman suggested you would be. Thanks so much….

100% fantastic, Dr. Sakamoto and his staff. I had a multiple gum graft surgery, which is a horrible procedure in and of itself, but Dr. Sakamoto was great and made the best of the situation for me. I originally consulted with a doctor in Worthington but had a very negative experience so I chose a different doctor. Two thumbs up for Dr. Sakamoto, highly recommend!

I rarely provide customer feedback, but am taking the time today to share the following: The staff is wonderful and Dr. Sakamoto is the consummate professional who is also a kind advisor for your oral health. Amy Licey did my cleaning the last two visits. She is very gentle and thorough. You feel like a family member who is receiving the best cleaning of your life. Thankful patient!

This last visit was my 3rd time. My hygienist was professional, caring, gentle, friendly, and competent. She made sure I was comfortable and secure all the way my cleaning procedure.. When she finished, Dr. Sakamoto came in to examine me to make sure everything was good. He was absolutely great—so gentle and polite. Leaving, I felt good—something I never feel upon leaving a dental office. I’ll return for treatment again, when needed.

Awesome dentist and staff !!! Professional, excellent skills and chairside manner. The latest technology makes for fast, comfortable experience. I have been with Dr Sakamoto since 2001 and I highly recommend him. I felt the implant experience was less bothersome than Having a tooth filled. I have had four implants with him. I am a nervous patient and he put me at ease from the beginning.

The staff are pleasant and willing to help, when needed. Everyone is very professional and caring. The doctor truly cares about his patients and makes sure the patient understands any procedures performed. Stacy goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of her patients and is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this office.

Professional, compassionate and wonderful. I wish I could give Dr. Sakamoto and his team 500 stars! I had receding gums for many years due to tension/grinding teeth at night. I wear a mouthguard now, but decided to be proactive and have gum graft procedures before the recession got incredibly bad. My dentist recommended two surgeons: a surgeon close to my home, and Dr. Sakamoto. After meeting with both, I had preferred Dr. Sakamoto's kind professionalism, as well as his staff and clinic environment. But he was slightly more expensive and a much further drive than the local guy I ended up going to. I learned my lesson! Never settle or go cheap with your health! I went to the local surgeon and it ended up being an awful experience. Not only did he not even GRAFT the tissue successfully, he ignored my pain during the surgery, lied to me about it afterwards, and ignored all my post-operative concerns about pain. He was the worst. It was a traumatic dental experience...and I was left with more complications than I started with. So I called Dr. Sakamoto again. He said he could fix the damage and redo the grafts. AND HE DID. HE IS AMAZING. Dr. Sakamoto's procedure was more involved (he used tissue from the roof of my mouth), but even with that extra step, he provided a calm, caring and competent environment. He made sure I didn't have ANY pain during the procedures. I completely trusted his and his staff's expertise. And since I had the exact same surgery to compare it to (alas), I also can attest that his post-operative procedures were 100 times better than the other guy. I had less pain, less swelling, and healed faster. You don't want to HAVE to see an oral surgeon, but if you need one -- learn from my mistakes. Go to Dr. Sakamoto and his team! They are the best!

Amy cleaned a tooth of mine beneath the gum line today. The first time I have ever had that done She did a fantastic job with no pain at all! She also numbered all of the gums around my teeth and talked about a plan and schedule for me to follow for future cleanings to preserve my teeth She is extremely nice and friendly and quite competent at her job. I highly recommend her Plus, she is so sweet, she even laughs at all my jokes

Nothing but good things to say about the office staff and Dr. Mannava at Central Ohio Periodontics. My back story is that I had an implant done on a front tooth by another dentist that was not done correctly due to the bone area around the implant not being built up properly which resulted in eventual bone loss around the implant and an infection then compromising the adjacent teeth which are also front teeth. I had seen another periodontist who had the same diagnosis and treatment plan as Dr Mannava but I had much better initial opinion on the care given by Dr Mannava and the staff at Central Ohio Periodontics as Dr Mannava explained the situation to me in an easy to understand way and is also very personable. Initially, I had an earlier appointment with the other perio office which is in-network with my dental plan and even though I would have paid significantly less at the other office due to them being in-network , I decided to follow thru and have Dr Manavva do the procedure even though being out of network would result in my payment portion being higher than the other office which is in-network. Another aspect that I was very happy with is that while I was out of town prior to appointment date when the bad implant would be removed, I had called the office with a question and also my concern with losing the front teeth adjacent to the bad implant. Dr Manavva was off that day but the office relayed my concerns on to Dr Manavva and she took the time to return my call on her day off to ease my concerns. She also replied to several texts that I had sent after we talked....I very much appreciated that since not many health providers are as responsive as Dr Manavva has been. At this point, I have some additional work left to be done and I need to decide if I'll go with the in-network provider and pay less or continue with Central Ohio Periodontics which is not an in network provider with my plan. If the difference in benefits under my plan weren't coming into play, I'd no doubt have all future treatment performed by Dr Manavva as I'm very impressed with the care she and the office have provided. As initially mentioned, I can't say enough good things about these folks!

My favorite medical place. Everyone is so nice and pleasant. Dr. Sak is just outstanding and a wonderful, caring doctor. Amy is incredible as a hygienist with a world of talent and you will not leave her chair until she has created perfection. This just a wonderful place for me to go, as they all feel like my family.

From what I remember from last Thursday, April 13, 2023, it was fabulous. Dr. Sakamoto has done many surgeries for me, and I refuse to go anywhere else, although the incredible staff might wish that I would 🙂 A head injury caused the majority of my problems, and Dr. Sakamoto has had a great deal to contend with concerning my care. He is so patient and wonderful, and I know that it's been challenging to try and move along in this process. I also know that I ask many questions over and over, and they patiently answer--I feel so safe in their care. They are the greatest at what they do, and I hope to eventually have a much better quality of life. They deserve total credit for all they have done as perfect professionals. I would love to show my thanks by taking all of them on an incredible cruise, but I think that they would ask me to stay home 🙂

It was perfect. Ashley was fabulous. I have been having my dental work taken care of in Florida for over 30 years and have now moved back to Ohio to be near my family. I have implants and many caps and regular cleaning is very important so a hygienist is so very important to me. My Florida dentist has sent other patients to your office and will conclude by saying it could not have turned out any better.

For more than 20 years, I have been consulting you for dental problems and you and your great staff have taken care of me very efficiently and extremely well. Recognizing that my husband and I are senior citizens with single income, you have generously given me a senior discount in your fees. Dr. Sakamoto, you are one of the best dentists I have come across in my life. I wish you the best. Bharati H. Bhatt March 14, 2023

Dr. Sakamoto and his staff are the best! They are so caring and personable. I have had several gum grafting procedures and everything has been explained thoroughly. I have had very little discomfort during and after the procedures and someone calls the next day to check on me. I live 2 hours away and the drive is definitely worth it considering the wonderful care I receive.

I visited Dr Sakamoto’s office for the first time today and was very pleased with the way I was treated by everyone with whom I interacted. I was especially pleased with the full explanations that I was given regarding my upcoming procedure and my financial responsibility. I also appreciated having the most pertinent conversations in a private and comfortable office. Dr. Sakamoto, Amber, and Bridgette were all pleasant and professional, and gave me confidence that my future visits will go well.

Dr. Sakamoto and his staff are the best! They are so caring and personable. I have had 3 gum grafting procedures and will have one more. Everything has been explained thoroughly, I have had very little discomfort during and after the procedures and someone calls the next day to check on me. I live 2 hours away and the drive is definitely worth it considering the wonderful care I receive. I highly recommend Central Ohio Periodontics.

Dr Sakamoto and his staff are really impressive, not are they very good at what they do but they truly are very caring. From the first time that I met Dr. Sakamoto, he truly cared about how I felt and it didn’t matter. He just wanted to help me and fix my problem, he went out of his way and even had conferences with other dentists with my problem. His goal was to make sure that my teeth and mouth were to be fixed properly and his words were “I will not be happy until you tell me that you are happy.” that’s professionalism from the very start and continued all the way through and I’m still not finished. The caring has not stopped or has his professionalism. If you are looking for an excellent, caring dentist, this is the place to go to!!

Dr. Sakamoto did an amazing job fixing an issue I’d been struggling with for months. I’m adding the before and after photos. Please note the after photo is what my gum looks like 24 hours after he performed a biopsy. You can’t even tell I had anything done to it. It’s healing remarkably and I’m so happy I get to have my smile back! Thank you SO MUCH for everything!

DDr Sakamoto and his entire staff are superior to all!! They immediately make you physically comfortable and answer all ur questions. They do not talk down to you like medical professionals, they talk to you like someone you've known for years (and I have known them for years). They are as gentle as possibly be and talk you through everything. I was petrified to go the first time, and now I feel I'm stopping by to visit old friends. Dr Sakamoto is brilliant and if something is not working, he is quick n knowledgeable for plan B. The Techs don't miss a beat n always have everything prepared n ready to go. Front desk is so efficient, and no matter how many times you call, you get the same smiley professionalism. Not to mention (new) Vinny is the fastest "runner" (I clocked him Lol) I know I'm coming to Central Ohio Periodontics usually for an unpleasant proceedure, but the fact that the employees make you feel like you are enveloped in a hug, it makes everything else so much easier to get through. Thank you all for what you do!!

The staff was wonderful from the moment I came into the office!! Dr. Sakamoto was so nice and very informative. I feel so lucky that my Doctor sent me to you. Everyone went out of their way to make me welcome and comfortable. Thanks for seeing me so quickly today!!! 5 stars and if I could give you more I could!!!!!

Yall are rock stars! I was sooo nervous about this procedure! Dr S. Put me at ease with his humor....plus giving me the rx......that I had declined earlier....and of course the nitrious..💓 I've had very little bleeding.....pain is manageable tonight with anti inflammatory. Hopefully I'll have a good night's sleep.....and we'll see what tomorrow brings. Thank you so much for amazing skills! Sincerely, Chris

Well, “loved it” relates to pain and discomfort that “I know I need to keep my 20 teeth”!!! Amy is a great “planer and scaler”.. I always feel safe and well-cared for there. I was referred to Dr Sakamoto at least 27 years ago.. ?? Hard to believe! Wish they “DID IT ALL”! Thank you!!!

I had bone grafts and 2 implants. The experience has been amazing. The staff is very attentive and helpful and professional. And Dr. Sakamoto is easy going and puts you at ease right away. The procedures were done with very skilled hands and recovery only lasted a day or two. A very positive experience!!

From the moment you enter, the staff is friendly, helpful which makes for a great experience. Ashley did a great job with my teeth cleaning. Doctor Mannava was very professional, explaining the procedure and what to expect post operation. Since going there at the start of the year, listening to what the advise, I have been more than pleasantly surprised with the results and improvement in my dental health.

Ashley (hygienist) was very attentive, answered my questions and offered suggestions to add to my oral care routine. Dr. Sakamoto as always is very kind and personable. Never forgets to ask “how are you doing “. Discusses my treatment plan and helps me make informed decisions. Stacey and Bridget at the front desk are always smiling and friendly and I enjoy talking with them! All in all it is a wonderful, caring and professional dental practice.

I love Dr. Sakamoto he is so nice and friendly and knows his stuff. He will take time with you. I had a crown lengthening procedure done and I love the results right now. The procedure was quick and easy. I feel like I got my smile back. 😁 The staff is nice and caring and helpful as well. This is a great place.

Dr. Sakamoto is definitely worth the 5-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ratings he receives❣️ My dentist recommended me to a periodontist to have my below-the-gum tooth pain evaluated. Instead of going to the Periodontist that my dentist recommended, I decided to find my own which is how I discovered Central Ohio Periodontics. It was easy to make an appointment but was more than a month out. (A specialist that is good at what they do, tends to be in high demand). However, I was able to get moved up due to a canceled appointment, which means I was able to be seen within a week. All the great reviews that I read about Dr. Sakamoto AND HIS STAFF seemed to match my own experience. He is very personable and I didn't feel rushed. He explained the problem, the treatment options, worst case scenario, and what he recommended. I ended up in the worst case scenario and had 2 teeth extracted (painlessly with a local). He also prepped the sockets by adding bone grafting for future implants. There was very little pain after the numbing wore off. Also, there was very little swelling and bleeding afterwards and was even able to work my regular job that evening. His staff also took excellent care of me regarding the details (follow-up info, before/after surgery care, etc.). If you need a Periodontist, look no further than Central Ohio Periodontics❣️

Very good visit (as usual). Wendi is a keeper. Now with that being said you still need diversity on your staff. This picture looks like Dr Sakamoto and his harem. This picture does not reflect the community you live/work in. I look at this picture and ask myself (again) are there no African American or Latino qualified dental students/graduates male or female at O.S.U? Dr Sakamoto before you hire another dental hygienist you should ask yourself that same question. The answer will be yes. Now it is up to you to do the right thing…hire someone that reflects the community you work in or someone that looks like you or me.

Dr. Sakamoto and his team are the best!! They are always very kind and personable as they strive to make their patients feel as comfortable as possible. After a few tooth extractions and implants, their work has always been exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr. Sakamoto and his team to anyone in need of the services he provides.

I had a great experience, very professional, and nice 😊 Last time I saw Dr. Sakamoto was 19 + yrs. Oh & pulled a tooth 🦷 He did 2/implants Great job, I was very nervous, but he help a lot with that. Said things will be okay. Today’s visit was for and evaluation on a possible gum infection near my implants. It was conferred, yes So back in two days to work on things. Again putting my nervous to rest. It was good to see him again, he hasn’t changed. Still great, professional, nice etc. I could go on. 😃 Thank you Dr. Sakamoto , and to all your great staff Cookie

The best dentist I’ve ever met, not one of. I’ve been suffered from periodontitis for 30 years and received treatments across the world, from Beijing to Shanghai to Taipei to San Francisco. While the most of dentists are very good, Dr. Sakamoto is truly exceptional!! He is kind, relaxed, highly efficient and accurate. When he was pulling out my bad tooth, the anesthetic amount he applied on my gum was super accurate, no more no less. Very few dentists could achieve this level. When he was doing bone grafting operation for me, he only spent 60% of time the other dentists would have, but my tongue could feel that the stitch was very fine. And I didn’t experience any swelling after the operation, only very tiny pain in the first 2 days. With his extraordinary skills, he doesn’t waste patients’ money and time. When I was referred to him I heard he was good, but didn’t expect so good. I wish I could have met him earlier. The other staff in his clinic all are kind and considerate.

Dr Sakamoto and his staff are simply the best in Columbus. His staff is very nice and they have a way of making you feel at home from the time you arrive at the office until you leave. Dr Sakamoto is very nice and personable he takes great care to make sure your visit goes as easy as possible. He is as gentle as he can be. Great place.

The care I received at Central Ohio Periodontics was definitely first rate! Wendy did a really thorough cleaning and assessment of my mouth. Marsha was great and Dr. Mannava explained everything that was going on so clearly. I highly recommend this periodontal practice. They really make you feel important!

First time appointment for consult on upcoming gum surgery. Dr. Sakamoto and his staff were so friendly. Walked me through what will need to be done, financing, etc. My husband had the same procedure a couple of years ago and it was a success. Dreading the procedure, but I’m confident with Dr. S and his staff’s ability to create a positive result.

I always appreciate the skill and professionalism of Dr. Sakamoto and the staff. Understand, since my appointment yesterday was for placement of 2 new implants, the best part of my visit is that I remember almost nothing. I’m already looking forward to getting the stitches removed in a few weeks. Merry Christmas!.

This was my first visit to the office and several things were clear: (1) office has a “family” feel, and I did not feel like I was being rushed through the process. (2) The front office is to be commended for managing the schedule and getting me in to see the doctor sooner rather than later. (3) the hygienist expressed genuine interest in my comfort level and general well being. (3) Dr. Sakamoto was personable, friendly and extremely capable and knowledgable.

Dr. Sakamoto and his staff are my heroes!! From my first appointment, they were so caring and understanding of my situation and provided me with such amazing care. He is kind, gentle and understanding. He went above and beyond for me, even texting me and my dentist after business hours. He made me a priority and fit me into his busy schedule because he knew I was in pain and, quite honestly, miserable. None of which was his fault, but he went out of his way to help me. His assistant Stacy is equally kind and caring, and made the experience very easy and enjoyable….which sounds strange when you’re having dental work! I would recommend Dr. Sakamoto and his staff to anyone I know. Plus he has some pretty funny stories and keeps everyone laughing!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you’ve done for me!❤️

Going to the dentist is one of my very least favorite things to do…and I get quite anxious leading up to the apps. My hygienist today was Ashley and she was fabulous ! Most gentle cleaning I’ve had and I requested her for my next visit. Have been seen Dr. Sakamoto for about 15 years and I love his patience, his optimism and his expertise.

Dr Sakamoto and his staff are THE BEST… I was a little nervous and embarrassed having to revisit the office for yet another extraction and implant process, I’ve been here before years ago … BUT from the minute I walked in the door I felt right at home once again, was not embarrassed, and my nervousness was checked at the door… I was greeted by his amazing staff and was relaxed for my upcoming 2 teeth extractions - my appointment was pleasantly quick, I had no pain whatsoever during and after the process, they made me feel comfortable and explained post treatment instructions thoroughly that I understood.. I am excited to go back to complete the final steps on my 3rd and 4th implants, I will never use anyone or recommended anyone other than Dr Fred Sakamoto and central Ohio Periodontics They are hands down the best , they make you feel like family and treat as if family I’d give 100 stars if I could! 🙂

This team is absolutely wonderful!! They are so pleasant and kind. They truly care about their patients. They take the time to answer all questions whether they are about the services being provided or about billing and payment. Great group of individuals that have high standards of care and regard for their patients.

I just wanted to let you know what a great experience I had in your office on Wednesday under some very stressful conditions. Kelly was by far the best assistant I have ever encountered as she was, kind, caring, and compassionate. She could see that I was nervous as my blood pressure was high and I asked her to tell me something happy to calm me down. She talked about her two dogs non-stop for 5 minutes when I couldn’t talk. Following your very specific instructions and having all the medications upfront was the key to success. Thank you for what will hopefully be my good outcome but I feel I am on my way!;

I live a hour and half away from the location, but my online research pointed me to them. I had the tunneling technique done on both sides of my upper mouth to repair receding gums. They were wonderful with the scheduling and interpersonal connection. Cannot say enough about Mannava and her assistants. Videos online concerning grafting and other techniques were a little scary. I had my wisdom teeth removed too. Not a major issue for either. I would highly recommend this team.

I was loosing faith in thinking l would ever be able to eat good food not just soup dr Sakamoto and his staff are awesome and they truly care about the patients they truly give their patients hope and knowing they truly care about their patients makes me feel so awesome and their is hope and I would love for everyone to have that for them truly awesome team

Dr. Sakamoto did my implants in 2006 that are still great . He did a sinus lift and an extraction with bone graft. Due to Covid-19 and health issues I was able to get my plants done todayrwe after a year. Dr. Sakamoto made sure my anthieologist did his homework before sedating me due to my age and health. I recommend Dr. Sakamoto to anyone in need of dental implants or gum issues. He is definitely the master of implants! Love this doctor because without him I could not chew.

I was recommended to Central Ohio Periodontics by my primary dentist because of the professionalism and experience of Dr. Sakamoto and his staff. I couldn’t be any happier with the results post surgery. I would recommend them to anybody that needs help with dental surgery or advice on what to do. You may even get to hear some of the great jokes Dr. Sakamoto, he will for sure put a smile on your face! Also the all staff that i have had the pleasure to meet was nothing but respectful and helpful with no judgment. They really want to help.

I highly recommend Dr. Sakamoto. I have had severe dental anxiety since I was a child. I have been putting off getting a gum graft for several years due to fear/anxiety. I finally decided to schedule a consult after my dentist told me it’s getting worse. I found Dr. Sakamoto by reading his google reviews. He was worth the hour drive from where I live. From the moment I walked into my consult, I had a wonderful experience with how professional and pleasant the front desk staff is. Between Dr. Sakamoto and his assistant, I felt so much relief about getting this done. I got the IV sedation, and the anesthesiologist they use is just as outstanding as Dr. Sakamoto. I will continue going to Dr. Sakamoto for any of my future periodontics needs. It’s almost a week after my gum graft, and I have no pain. The calls to check how I was feeling and the appointment text reminders are so thoughtful. I spoke with my dental office in Mansfield this morning to let them know to refer their patients to Central Ohio Periodontics as it was one of the best experiences I’ve had for my dental needs. Thank you so much for everything.

Dr. Sakamoto is the best of the best - I would not send my family and friends to anyone else for any periodontal concerns. Dr. Sakamoto has treated me twice for a recurrent gum issue and has been nothing but responsive, kind, professional, and thorough in how he conducts his practice. Office staff are always friendly and kind. I also work in healthcare and admittedly can be on the picky side about my own providers - not a problem with Dr. Sakamoto! Thank you.

I received my cleaning and oral visit today at Central Ohio Periodontics, My hygienist Amy always does an excellent service to not only her patients but also her profession.... I travel over an hour and twenty minutes to visit Dr Sakamoto's office and his staff!! It's well worth the travel for the excellent services he and his staff provide!!

Dr. Sakamoto and the staff of Central Ohio Periodontics are the best! Although I was very nervous about having gum grafts done (especially during a pandemic), the office was very clean and the staff is taking special precautions to ensure patient safety. I was originally referred to and met with another periodontist closer to home for a consultation and was shocked to learn the cost and decided that my gum grafts would just have to wait. After reading Dr. Sakamoto's reviews online, I called his office and decided to get a consultation with him. Upon meeting him and his staff, I felt much better about having my gum grafts taken care of sooner rather than later. He even worked with my family dentist and suggested an orthodontic evaluation, which prompted some changes to my mouth guard. I'd been having headaches for years because of an ill-fitting mouth guard and Dr. Sakamoto recognized my problem after one meeting and communicated with my dentist who made the necessary adjustments to my mouth guard and I haven't had any headaches since. The gum graft procedure itself was painless and went very smoothly. Throughout the process of recovery, the staff and Dr. Sakamoto have been very responsive to my questions and concerns, even on the weekend. I'm glad I chose to do a little research and drive a little farther to Central Ohio Periodontics. I would choose them in the future as well if I need additional dental work.

Calm, gentle, kind, caring, all of the things that describe Dr Sakamoto and his team. Lynn has a soft touch, Stacey became my best friend, Admin team had everything put together before I got there. Hate that I had to lose a tooth...so grateful this team took care of me. Highly recommend this office. Today I had the my first ever implant placed. During this crazy pandemic crisis, I felt completely safe, so well taken care of and completely at ease. I will never understand why anyone would put up with a missing tooth when such great people like Dr Sakamoto and his Team are here to help. Thank you all for the kindness, professionalism and personal relationship.

Thank You, so much Dr. Sakamoto. One of the best for sure and very highly recommended in his field. I have heard and would not trust anyone that wasn’t 5 stars ⭐️ in my book. Just started with him though and his kindness and fun personality makes you feel so comfortable. His staff is so warming when you are in a situation that you do not really want to be in in the first place. I just had my surgery today so only 4 hrs post-op. Using my ice and Morton is doing the job right now. So excited the hardest part numbing - He was so good at numbing me he took his time and was great. So I did not need anything else had my procedure with no other sedation. An A+ in my book😜 I was so at ease the best you can be in this kind of situation and never felt uncomfortable. Always very professional. I am so blessed I fell into his lap by referrals so he is well worth the drive if you live far. He will not disappoint you. You are in good hands with Dr. Sakamoto. 👍

I’ve had an incredible amount of periodontal work done with other doctors but found Dr. Sakamoto the very best! He fixed what the others botched up and will forever only go to Dr. Sakamoto for treatment. He’s extremely gentle and there’s been little or no pain with any procedures I’ve had. I highly recommend his office and all his incredible staff. They are all so professional, courteous and efficient! By the way my husband is a retired dentist and he’ll only go to Dr. Sakamoto. Yours truly, Rhoda Zuravsky

I've been a patient of Dr. Rashee Mannava for over half a year now and so far I've had two molar extractions, a bone graft and two implants placed by her. She is wonderful. Every time I saw her she took the time to explain every single detail of the work she was doing and she answered all the questions I could come up with. She was also very considerate regarding my particular situation (breastfeeding at the time, traveling frequently, etc.). I've had several bad experiences with other dentists and I have to admit I'm a bit scared of going to a dental office, that said, this is a place where I would go back and I would recommend to others. Thank you all at Central Ohio Periodontics!

I had many question regarding my upcoming surgery. My doctor Rashee Mannnana explained to me clearly & exactly what will be done. After my surgery my doctor called my cell phone over the weekend just to see if I was doing ok. Very impressed with the professionalism and concern. I would highly recommend this surgeon Rashee Mannana.
