Dr. Erick Hosaka

Oct 2023

I tried out Hosaka Dental after an extensive amount of time researching reviews (I've had bad experiences with past dentists). About a year and a few visits later, I think I'm ready to breathe out and call Hosaka Dental my new dentist! Dr. Cassis is very professional and also approachable. I appreciate her straightforward attitude and that she cites research when answering my questions. It depends a bit on the hygienist, but so far I've yet to experience any egregiously pushy salespeople for extra treatments. The staff at reception are friendly and don't act offended when you ask to confirm dental benefits and cost, as I've experienced at other practices. The entire practice overall is friendly and energetic, which again is a nice change compared to many other dental offices I've been to. The building is on the institutional-side and a little dated, but it's clean and functional. It's an easy-to-find location that's close to the Friendship Heights metro.

My family has been going to Dr. Hosaka's office for 4 years now. The staff and Dr. Hosaka are friendly, attentive, and competent. I am impressed with the service, technology, and cleanliness. Overall, I am very happy with Dr. Hosaka.

Dr. Erick Hosaka is a wonderful human and spiritual being, first and foremost. He is a very kind, soft-spoken and gentle soul who truly cares about his clients. For any woman, in general, feeling safe is a much important prerogative when trusting a dental or general healer. Dr. Hosaka proved that beyond measure: I felt very safe with him and trusted him. Our bodies are sacred temples of our souls, of the Divine, in fact, and our mouth is the sacred gateway to our digestive health. Dr. Hosaka was gentle and thorough with his dental work. All along, clearly explaining ever once-in-a-while what he was doing. I encourage him to continue with this gentle approach of his, as it truly makes women feel safe and respected. He also has a great sense of humor. He, his equally amazing, gentle, caring dental hygienists and I shared some lovely moments of pure laughter. :) In general, his staff is good. Denise, especially, is a compassionate listener, something that any healing administrative assistant must be, first and foremost: Patient, compassionate, gracious. However, the only sadly sore thumb or prickly thorn or weakest link in this dental healing place is Stephanie Macuch, the Patient Coordinator, which is rather ironic because great, impeccable patience is required for (the coordination of) patients. Stephanie really is a very big issue (read Red Flag). Suffice to say. Hence, the reduction of two stars in this review. On the whole, I have nothing but praises and well-wishes for Dr. Hosaka, his dental hygienists, as well Denise. May the Universe bless each and everyone of them bountifully. Thank you so much for your excellent service. In much kindness and compassion, Satyamev Jayathe & Namashkaram....
