Testimonial
I have lived in Japan for 19 years and I have so far avoided going to the dentist
here because I have a real fear of going to the dentist even in my own country
where I can communicate fully in English. Recently I had to have root canal treatment
and so I asked a Japanese friend to help me find a good root canal specialist.
He found U’z clinic on the Internet and it looked very modern. I went there and
was impressed first of all with the friendly office staff, almost no waiting time,
cleanliness and the very new looking equipment. All that is great but without
a skilled dentist to use the equipment it would be useless.
I went for my first root canal treatment and I was so nervous my heart was beating
so hard I thought I might have a heart attack in the chair. That is how nervous
I get in the dentist’s chair. Well I soon discovered I had no reason to fear.
Dr. Ushikubo numbed my gums first and then gave a Novocain shot that I barely
even felt. Really, no pain with the shot! Then after I was good and numb he started
the root canal treatment. He made me very comfortable and instead of having to
hold my mouth open by myself, he put a device in the corner of my mouth on the
unaffected side that propped my mouth open so that I could actually relax my jaw
muscles.
I have worked in the medical field so I can sense a lack of confidence in doctors.
I never sensed this with Dr. Ushikubo and as a matter of fact just the opposite,
he seemed very confident like it was almost effortless for him to perform the
treatment. Something else I noticed, that is important to me, is how the doctor
treats his assistants. He spoke very kindly and often said thank you to her and
the two of them displayed a lot of harmony as they worked together as a real team.
One more thing I appreciated about him is that he asked me which language I prefer,
Japanese or English. Sometimes I do prefer to speak Japanese but not in the case
of going to the dentist so I chose English so he spoke to me in English.
He is a very kind and respectful man who I believe is very skilled in what he
does. In my case I never experienced pain, neither in the chair nor after I went
home. I want to recommend him to my fellow foreigners (or Japanese) who need root
canal treatment who fear going to the dentist as much as I do. I believe you can
trust Dr. Ushikubo. I didn’t have the other specialist who works there so I cannot
comment on him so please know that he may be just as skilled, but I don’t know.
