Dr. Jerry Okamoto, DDS, and Dr. Christopher Bigley, DDS, of Okamoto and Bigley Dentistry turned to Doctor Genius (DG) to handle the website and SEO side of their business — and it paid off. Since making the switch, they’ve seen a three-times return on their investment, gained new patient referrals, and felt supported every step of the way. They describe Doctor Genius as organized, proactive, and essential to their long-term growth strategy.
Located in California, Okamoto and Bigley Dentistry is a general dental practice that “does a little bit of everything” — from preventive dentistry to more advanced treatment options. Dr. Christopher Bigley joined the practice over a decade ago and later partnered with Dr. Jerry Okamoto to expand it. When it came to managing their online presence, the doctors knew they needed a professional team.
While the practice had a solid foundation, the doctors sought a way to enhance their online visibility without incurring the heavy burden of managing their own web presence. Hence, Dr. Bigley stated, “the big draw to Doctor Genius was with our website stuff, the search engine optimization.” Doctor Genius stepped in as a partner that could handle the technical side of marketing while aligning with their patient-first philosophy.

Dr. Okamoto and Dr. Bigley were first introduced to Doctor Genius through a recommendation from their trusted management consultant. After hearing how DG had helped other dental offices grow, they decided to give it a try. “You came highly recommended,” Dr. Okamoto said. “And we get a lot of great support from y’all.”
From the start, the Doctor Genius team provided a modern, clean website that patients appreciated and found easy to navigate. But more importantly, it came with strong backend support, including regular check-ins, helpful analytics, and responsive customer service. “The customer support side of things is great,” Dr. Bigley confirmed.

Since partnering with Doctor Genius, Okamoto and Bigley Dentistry have seen real, measurable results. In the past year, the practice achieved a threefold return on investment, according to its internal tracking of patient acquisition and revenue. “When we averaged the cost per patient and what they’re bringing in,” Dr. Bigley said, “it was about three times the return.”
The practice now consistently receives new patient referrals from its website and online search results. Regular data review meetings with the DG team have helped them stay proactive and make informed marketing decisions. “It’d be really easy for us not to look at things for a whole year,” Dr. Okamoto admitted, “so I like that you guys check in with us to make sure that we're looking at our practice and being able to see what value we're getting.”
