PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr Yamashiro is very gentle and thorough. The front desk lady Masako is very nice and accomodating. She speaks japanese and english. My mother also is a patient and loves the staff as they are very kind and considerate. The hygenist takes as long as she needs to clean my teeth. When I needed extensive dental work done, I received a treatment plan and watched a video presentation of the process. Whenever i go in for a check up or for a filling or crown, he explains things as he does them making me feel a little more at ease. I have had three other dentists and he takes the most time talking through the process. He never seems hurried or too busy to take care of me even when my crown fell off. The ladies are all very nice and seem sincerely concerned about the patients. Both my mother and I received a phne call from the Dr. To check up on us. Thank you!

I actually enjoy going to the dentist! I get check ups and cleaning twice a year. If it wasn’t for those check ups, I’d never get to see the Doctor and his staff because they make sure to address any issues or concerns I have before they become a problem. Best of all, is that they’re always waiting for my arrival and promptly complete my appointment in 30 minutes or less. I look forward to my next appointment… Lol

The best dentist!!!! My family love him, and as much as a hate going to the dentist Dr.Yamashiro and his staff make you feel calm, he talks to you through all the procedure.  My husband and him keep up with the sports, Go Lakers!!.  I have referred serval of my family numbers and friends to his office.  So if you are looking for a GREAT dentist he is your man.

I have had a lot of dentists as my career has taken me around the country and Dr. Yamashiro is one of the very best. He is very careful and very considerate. He is kind and thoughtful. He explains what he is going to do before he does it which eases any stress you may have. He personally cleans your teeth and never causes me any pain. I like the fact that I know that he is thoroughly examining my teeth as he cleans them. He will work with you to help deal with insurance and billing issues, and help with the timing of your visits to make sure that you can get the most benefit from your dental insurance. If he can’t do the work he will refer you to an excellent healthcare provider. For instance, he referred me to the best specialist for root canal that I have ever had, and I have had a few to compare to. I highly recommend Dr. Yamashiro. He is an excellent dentist.

Who likes going to the dentist? No one right.  I hate it and my teeth show it.  Last time I went was maybe 7 yrs ago.  I finally got the courage to go again after being referred by a trusted friend.  I was sooooo scared, the very nice assistant noticed it and assured me it would be fine.  Worse fear ever, I needed a root canal.  Everyone talks about them being worse than giving birth.  I was beyond nervous ready to bail out.  To my surprise, It was a breeze.  No pain, no discomfort other than you know typical from having your teeth worked on.  Dr. Yamashiro made this experience great and I am no longer afraid to go see him and his assistant noticed that too.  She said, you not scared anymore right? They are all so nice.  I might bring my kids here now since they both hate going to the dentist too.  He will be seeing me back in 6 months.  No more skipping out on the dentist as long as I am going to Dr. Yamashiro.   I just hope the dentist he referred me to for my wisdom teeth removal and braces is as good as he is.

They make you feel welcome and are extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Yamashiro himself is also very knowledgeable and nice! I live in koreatown but will make the drive out here just to see Dr. Yamashiro and his staff. I highly recommend coming to see Dr. Yamashiro!

I was able to make an appointment through phone call. Prior to the pandemic, we had arranged for a checkup when everything closed. During the meantime, they sent out emails updating me about their situation, so I wasn’t kept in the dark. I was able to have my checkup in the end with all the precautions taken care of. Most of the employees I met can speak English and Japanese. They were very polite and professional. I plan to keep coming back.

I haven’t been to a dentist in a long time and it is partly because I have had a couple of bad experiences with previous dentists and also because I have neglected taking better care of my oral hygiene. I waited to the very last second to see a dentist but  eventually made an appointment because of minor discomfort in my mouth. It was my first time at Dr Yamashiro’s office and I was happily greeted by the receptionist. The office is small but I didn’t have to wait long and was immediately in the care of Dr. Yamashiro’s assistant who was not only very professional but also very considerate of my needs to feel comfortable and relaxed as she took x-rays. Dr Yamashiro got right to the problem with my discomfort and offered solutions to help me change my daily habits to prevent problems like mine from occurring again. Although nothing serious was wrong, Dr. Yamashiro cleaned my teeth in an efficient and timely matter. I was very nervous at the beginning but his skill and delicate touch and adjustments to make sure I was also comfortable really eased my stress. He fixed a chipped tooth that was missing for awhile now and it looks like nothing ever happened and I am happy how it looks and feels. I was in and out in a very short time and did not have to wait long for the entire visit. I look forward to coming back in 6 months.

I had found Dr. Yamashiro through my Dental Insurance and wanted to get some consultation on my Teeth. Glad i came to him. He is very professional and so detailed with every tooth. Dr. Yamashiro explained alternatives to solve pain. I love his office staff as well, all are so nice and professional. I would recommend to anyone new or looking for a new Dentist.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Yamashiro for as long as I can remember. It’s hard to say you enjoy going to the dentist no matter who it is, but you can almost say that for Dr. Yamashiro. The ladies are all very sweet and remember my name, and visits are a breeze with little waiting. He is super polite at all times, even saying “open, please. close, please” during examinations. He always makes a point to be very personable in remembering what I am up to with school and life(in a polite, not creepy way). Overall the experience at Dr. Yamashiro’s office is so much better than any dentist/doctor I’ve experienced and I’d highly recommend him. Unless it’s changed, he also has a game room for kids which was SO much fun for me when I was little. I remember there being an old nintendo console and books. Great for kids.

I left my previous dentist after a very bad and painful crown procedure that was placed incorrectly twice. I decided to see Dr. Yamashiro because of high ratings and it was the best decision I could have made. He replaced the crown with zero pain. He’s very gentle and patient. His staff is extremely nice and very professional which makes the visits even better.
