Born and raised in Honolulu, Dr. Lauren Weiss is a graduate of ‘Iolani School, Boston College and the University of Washington School of Dentistry. After shadowing Dr. Derek Takai for several years throughout undergrad and dental school, she joined his practice in 2018.

Dr. Weiss shares the team’s passion for service that goes above and beyond. “We take pride in providing high-quality care and want every person who walks through our doors to feel comfortable, calm and stress-free,” she says. She says the best part of her job is when patients say they now look forward to dental visits because they love the experience.

Dr. Weiss takes the time to educate her patients on their treatment options and the importance of dental habits for overall health. “I know I’ve done my job when patients tell me they are now motivated to take care of their teeth,” she says. “I also love being able to raise a person’s confidence by giving them a smile that they are proud to show off to the world!”

Dr. Weiss would like to acknowledge the entire dental team, all of whom play a large role in creating an amazing experience that keeps patients coming back.
