Terry Koichi Taniguchi

Dr. Taniguchi was my dentist from the mid '70s to the '90s. (when I moved out of state). I had a mouthful of problems and I'll never forget the various contraptions he had to place to correct them. I loved him, and will never forget him. He was wonderful!

Dr. Taniguchi was truly a very nice man who put his patients first. I am very saddened at his passing and send my deepest condolences to his loved ones.

Dr. Taniguchi was our family's dentist (Coyne) for over 35 years, and he will truly be missed. He was all of our (James, Lily, MaryBeth, Jimmy, and Susan) dentist and always took time out to ask how our lives were progressing. I know his dedicated staff (especially Karen) is feeling the loss. On behalf of the Coyne family, we would like to offer his wife and daughters our sincere condolences. He will be missed.

I am saddened to hear about the loss of Terry, I had played racquette ball with him for a few years and he will be missed. My condolences to his entire family.

I am saddened to learn about the passing of Dr. Taniguchi. I had the pleasure of being one of his patients since the 70's. He was a great man and a terrific dentist, he will truly be missed. I once asked him when he planned on retiring, he said never, because it wouldn't be fair to his patients. My sincerest condolences to his wife, daughters, and family.

My family of four has known Terry since 1983, when he was highly recommended by a good friend. He took care of my entire family, and was funny, sincere, honest, and just a great all around man.

We pray for your family and friends.

Dr Taniguchi: Was more than my dentist he was a friend. Everytime I came in for an appointment we would always talked about the trips he has taken around the world. There was one time where I had a bad tooth ache and it was just when I was when was leaving for Europe. As usual he took care of it. He so concern that he would keep in touch with me to make sure i was okay. We ieven had our favorite resturant: Hong Kong resturant in Torrance.

My prayers are with Ms. Taniguchi...

I send my deepest condolences to Dr. T's family. Dr Taniguchi has been my dentist for the past 20 years; he was the first person who took the time to help me overcome my intense fear of dentistry. His gentleness, his humor, his wry observations have enriched my life and I will miss him more than I can express here.

Terry was not just my dentist for over half of my life, but a dear friend. He always had time to ask "how are you doing" and he sincerely meant it. I will miss my friend. Terry will always have a place in my heart. My thoughts are with his family; it must give them great comfort to know that he meant so much to so many.
