Mika Miyamoto-Shemali, Pearl District Dental

Wonderful, wonderful. Pearl District Dental by Phyllis Melmon Martinez at Citysearch I've been a patient at Pearl District Dental for more than 10 years, and like some of the wonderful testimonies I read I wanted to add my positive reflections. The whole staff, Eli, Megan, Marjan, Rhea and of course Dr Mika have been absolutely wonderful to me. No question, they have saved my teeth, when I first walked into the office my mouth was kind of a mess. All through the years, they have been attentive, kind, very responsive, And, clearly skilled beyond compare, in my opinion. I cannot say enough about Dr Mika's skill. I have a beautiful smile now (for an old lady) and Marjan is so competent, gentle, the finest hygenist in my experience. I have such absolute confidence in Pearl Dental, I never worry that what is being done is appropriate and in my interests. After years of bad dentistry, I finally found a dentist, along with her wonderful staff, that I can trust.

You should try this dentist. I have been Dr. Mika Miyamoto’s patient since I moved to Portland six years ago. I have always had good dentists and have high expectations. Dr. Mika Miyamoto met and exceeded any expectations I had! I have also had extensive dental work done: bonding on my two upper front teeth, cracked back tooth, and fillings, as well as general cleanings, x-rays, etc. so I feel confident in recommending her for any work you need done. Dr. Mika has an excellent chair-side manner. She takes time to get to know you before getting to know your teeth. Her work is exemplary! And she continues to stay atop of field by continually attending the best training seminar all over the world. Dr. Mika has also hired people underneath her (office staff, hygienists) who are as competent in their roles as she is. If you need a dentist or are not completely satisfied with you current dentist, try Dr. Mika! You will not be sorry!  View Less … View More

Very impressed. Let me preface this with I have not been to the dentist for 3 years and although the dentist that I was seeing before was very good, this office visit was an "Experience!!". From the moment that you walk into the door and are greeted by Sasha who "never has a bad day" to when you go in to see Marjan the hygenist, you will understand how Dr. Miyamoto’s staff treats you to a wonderful patient experience. Coming from a healthcare background, I can say that they go above and beyond to make their patients feel very comfortable. Let's move on to the cleaning. Marjan was wonderful! She took the time to explain everything that she was doing, she let me know my tooth rating, the computer at the chairside to me is also very helpful for the patient to visualize how their teeth look and what teeth are affected and need work. Marjan took time to go over the xrays, and where I need to focus for my next visit. When Dr. Miyamoto came in, she had time to discuss all my treatment options and gave her recommendations. At the end of the visit, Sasha took the time to explain the estimate of my insurance coverage and my treatment plan. After a few visits, I am sure I will give them five stars, but so far, I have been very impressed.

You too will really enjoy your experience with Dr. Miyamoto, her team and their patient centric approach.  View Less … View More

Dr. Mika is the best dentist I have ever seen. I saw Dr. Mika Miyamoto many times starting about five years ago. The first appointment, I had a severe toothache in one of my molars that I neglected for several months. I saw two other dentists before and they both said the tooth needed to have a root canal. As I am a dental chicken, I put this off for a while. Finally, when the pain got bad, I called Dr. Mika on a referall from a co-worker and I was seen the same day. (She is a Japanese dentist who can help me in my native language :) Dr. Mika took care of my tooth and actualy did a procedure that saved the tooth from needing a root canal. I was very happy with that. Also she was very extremely gentle, understanding, and did not give me a lecture. She did stress the importance of taking care of my teeth and put me on a programme to correct my teeth and gum condition.

I know many people come here to look for a good dental clinic. I would recommend seeing Dr. Mika without any hesitation.  View Less … View More
