Origin Story
In 1993, nestled in the heart of Maui, a local couple embarked on a journey to serve their community with compassionate dental care. Dr. Casey Tamashiro and his wife founded their dental practice in a quaint office on Lower Main Street, rooted in the local values of aloha and familial care. With a mission to treat every patient with the same warmth and respect as they would their own family, Dr. Tamashiro quickly became a beacon of community service on the island.
As the practice flourished, the need for a larger space became evident. Driven by their unwavering commitment to their community, the Tamashiros set off to find the perfect location to expand their care. The Tamashiros soon realized that in order to provide the best possible care, they needed to build the office themselves.
The new state-of-the-art facility was designed with the community in mind, embodying the spirit of aloha and the local values that the Tamashiros hold dear. Through every stage of growth, The Drs. Tamashiro have remained dedicated to serving Maui's community, ensuring that each patient feels like part of the family. Built from the ground up in the spirit of service, The Drs. Tamashiro's practice symbolizes their original mission — to serve Maui with aloha and care.
