Jayson F Tsuchiya, DDS

Great dentist. I got the amazing treatment from Dr. Tsuchiya and it completely removed pain that I had when I drank cold water or ate sweet food. I have visited several other dentists trying to get rid of pain but was not successful. Instead I was recommended using Sensodyne toothpaste by some other dentists. After the treatment, my teeth don’t feel sensitive anymore. What a great dentist in bay area.

Dr. Tsuchiya remains my favorite dentist. He and his staff really take care of patients. I look forward to and enjoy my yearly visits here!
It’s a Japanese/​English speaking practice… I’m about as Japanese as a can of Coke and I LOVE coming here.
They’ll listen if you voice concerns. If something hurts, it will be taken care of right away. I can’t do ultrasonic cleanings –they just kill my teeth –the staff has noted it so I don’t have to remind them. They’re really gentle on my teeth and gums too and never make me feel less than like some dentists from my past experiences. Very businesslike/​professional.
And the latest technology is used (they have state-​of-​the-​art equipment and record-​keeping software). Monitors if patients want to watch shows while getting work done too.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Tsuchiya for 15 years now, driving from places I’ve lived all over the Bay Area in order to get to him. He is incredibly professional, super smart and has great chair-​side manner. His office was remodeled in the last few years (not that I thought it needed it) and everything inside is state-​of-​the-​art and very clean. I don’t think you can get any better than this, and I am so glad to be able to be his patient. I’ve referred a friend and my husband to him and they are both just as happy.

It’s too bad Unilocal will only allow 5 stars.
Dr. Tsuchiya is the absolute best!!!
Office — his office is conveniently located off of 85. There really isn’t a reason a person would miss his office unless they were asleep while driving. His office faces Wright Ave., and parking really isn’t a problem. The actual office itself is very warm and welcoming. You’re not greeted with some receptionist that hates their job. Every station is equipped with the necessities along with a television and great view of the outside. Nothing dirty or unorganized will be found in this office. It’s flawless!
Staff — the staff is very, VERY friendly. They welcome you with smiles. This has been my 2^nd visit and already they are familiar with my face and name. From the receptionists to the hygienists, each staff member carries themselves as professional and friendly. No complaints!
Dr. Tsuchiya — this man knows what he’s doing. He’s very soft-​spoken, confident in his craft and super friendly. He was able to see me for an emergency visit and had the pain vanish within an hour. The man is a genius. There need to be more reviews in here for crying out loud!
Overall, I’m very pleased with this dentist and his facility. I would definitely suggest him to my family and friends!

Dr. Tsuchiya is awesome. My family has been going to him since he took over Dr. Faber’s practice many year ago. I generally hate going to the dentist but I know that when I do have to go, Dr. Tsuchiya will take good care of me. A few years back I needed some emergency work prior to taking a business trip. He met me at his office on a saturday and took care of him. He was dressed in a suit and was on his way to wedding, but took the time to see me. Amazing personal service. He has the latest dental equipment and just installed individual TVs at each chair so you can watch TV while he works on you. It totally takes your mind off the dental work. But that is just the technology. The best part about Dr. T is that he clearly cares about his patients and his staff and his personality is reflected by everyone who work there. Kindness and professionalism abound in his office. You will not find a better dentist in the bay area!

Seriously, I know a good dentist when I have one, because I had some doozies (and by «doozies» I mean «horrible nightmares») for my dental care before I found Dr. Tsuchiya. He is THE BEST.
But first, hear my tales of woe because, admit it, that’s really why you read Unilocal in the first place, isn’t it? You sicko. Ok, so growing up we had this shi-​shi dentist in Los Altos who my mom chose solely on the fact that he graduated from UCSF where all her kids were born (my mom is a serious franciscophile). Little did she know that this guy was a straight-​up IDIOT. I didn’t realize it until the one time I was dying from a cavity, he took an x-​ray and told me I was fine.
«No, I have a cavity.»
«No, you don’t.»
«Yes, I really do.»
Bear in mind, dear reader, that I was all of 13 years old and by this time, I was well acquainted with my body and particularly of painful sensations inside my MOUTH. Hello.
«Well, let me take another look-​see. Wooo hoooo, what have we here? Looks like you DO have a cavity!»
No kiddin’.
Needless to say, he missed a lot of cavities which I am, to this day, paying for (literally) with countless re-​fills and root canals. I know, you totally wish you were me right about now.
Ok, so I finally got grown-​up and found a new dentist. WACK JOB! I don’t have time to go into it, but he ended up losing his license for something naughty. I never had any real problems with the guy, but one of my friends told me she saw him DUMPING CHARTS into the dumpster after hours once, after his office was closed down. Hello, can you say HIPPA violation??? Christ almighty. Thank god he was only my dentist for about a year.
Ok, third times a charm, right? RIGHT???
Right, because that’s when I found the hero of this story, Dr. Jayson Tsuchiya. Now I could go on and on about how he might quite possibly be the nicest guy on earth, and easy on the eyes to boot, but he also has the BEST staff and hygienists in town. In fact, I’ve totally befriended many of them and we keep in touch even out of the context of anything dental.
When we lived in god-​forsaken Tracy for 9 years, I kept Dr. T and drove an hour for cleanings, check-​ups and other dental maintenance because I wasn’t willing to try a new dentist, and I am so glad I stayed with his practice. The place is like straight up high-​tech, super clean, modern and awesome. And seriously, the dentist and hygienists are very careful and gentle. Like they care. Hmmmm, what a concept!
Patty in the front office totally rocks and work her tail off to get the maximum payment from my insurance. Also, she work out manageable payment plans for all my major dental work (which, as I have previously mentioned, I still have plenty to get done— still paying for the sins of my first dentist, the rocket scientist from UCSF).
This office of fantastic individuals has turned around my genuine hatred and fear of dentists and now my 3-​year old goes there too. Hey, if you can get a 3 year old to smile while you’re taking his x-​rays, you are really something special.
