★★★★★

Dr. Raji and her team really go above and beyond what I’ve ever experienced at a dentist’s office. Not only did she do a wonderful job on a crown I needed replaced, but was able to help us book an appointment for an emergency wisdom teeth extraction for my daughter. Dr. Raji truly cares about her patient’s experience and explains the treatment plan in great detail and with transparency. I normally hate going to the dentist, but now that I’ve found Dr. Raji I don’t mind at all. She is so caring, sweet, and funny, but also very professional. She and her staff make the experience of going to the dentist a pleasant one. I would definitely refer her to all of my friends.

★★★★★

Dr. Raji is excellent! I couldn’t be more pleased to have found a caring, thoughtful person to be my dentist. She is honest and informative. What I appreciate the most about Dr. Raji is the fact that she is 100% pro patient. Her recommendations and practice are rooted in what’s best for her patients. If you are looking for a great dentist, start here!

★★★★★

Raji is not only an amazing dentist, but she is also a very wonderful person as well. Once you meet her, you can tell that she has a passion for her field and really cares about all of her patients. She has excellent bedside manners and is very easy to talk to. My husband and I have been looking for a dentist for a LONG time. I was so happy when I finally encountered Raji and heard about her dental practice. She is a genuine and honest person who is very professional in everything she does. I naturally do not like going to the dentist, and Raji made my experience very pleasant. I was so happy when she offered to use a numbing agent to help with my sensitive teeth when performing my dental cleaning – something I’ve never been offered before.

What I also love about her is the emphasis that she places on education and prevention. She took the time to explain to me and my husband everything that was happening with our teeth, and offered practical solutions along with continued education and prevention. If you are looking for a dentist, I would highly recommend Raji as she is professional, personable, and very genuine about recommending services! She really makes you feel like family and tries to make your experience at the dentist comfortable and pleasant as much as possible.

★★★★★

Dr. Raji is very gentle, patient and kind. I’m terrified of the drill having had several past incidents where I was not numb, and got zinged. I’ve had to be gassed in the past for dental work, but Dr. Raji convinced me to trust her…and I’m glad I did. Twice now she’s performed fillings where I felt no pain at all, and she eased my anxiety. She takes her time with every detail and doesn’t push unnecessary procedures. She’s honest and her assistant is pleasant and personable as well. I highly recommend her practice!

Gary L. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I have been coming to this dental office for over 10 years. The previous owner retired and Dr. Raji took over the practice.  I have only had two dentist in my life so I was disappointed but decided to give Dr. Raji a try. She is very warm, professional and funny.  The office is quite pleasant and very clean. The staff is also super friendly. There is no up-selling and Dr. Raji will work within your budget. I am very serious about my dental care and visit 4 times per year even though my insurance doesn’t cover all my visits.  Dr. Raji is understanding, and affordable.  I live in (a different city) but it’s worth the drive for me to receive the awesome care I have come to expect from my dentist so I highly recommend.

Dr. Arunachalam is the dentist of my dreams. She is so friendly and kind. I drink red wine and coffee and she doesn’t make me feel bad about it. She is super gentle and thoughtful. She is also very reasonably priced and really works with you so you feel proud of your smile. I adore her.

I have been to Dr. Raji for several cleanings. She is so very gentle and patient with my greatly sensitive teeth. Going to see her for my annual tomorrow and another cleaning. Truly feel no apprehension going to her at all 🙂

Murphy H. from Granada Hills, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

My husband broke his tooth at 9:00 PM one night last week, we left a voicemail for Dr. Raji that night since it was so late. She called my husband back first thing in the morning and saw him right away that day! He had a temporary crown put on the day of and then this week he had the crown placed. He is so happy with her work and attitude. He loved being seen by Dr. Raji and we have definitely found our new dentist. She is so kind, caring, and also affordable! She doesn’t have any hidden costs which is a great change for us, I would refer her to anyone looking for a great general dentist!

Joe M. from Trabuco, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I once had a dentist who I dearly loved but he retired. Since then I have been to see 6 or so dentist and was delighted to find Dr. Raji.  I cannot say enough good things about this lady, and I no longer hate going to the Dentist!!!  Not at all, in fact it is a pleasure.

No pain, no discomfort and a wonderful pleasant environment, what more can you ask for. I recommended her to my wife, who is a very picky person and she loves her just as much.

Need a dentist, look no further.

★★★★★

Dr.Raji truly makes going to the dentist so much easier. After going through several dental procedures and subsequently several dentists over my lifetime, she is the best dentist that I’ve by far come across! She’s friendly and will ensure she’s transparent when it comes to the options for treatment and coverage based on your insurance.

I would highly recommend her! I can guarantee she’ll make the experience of going to a dentist far less dreadful than what you’re likely used to!

Christy D. from Ladera Ranch, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I went in on a Friday afternoon to see Dr. Raji DDS. She greeted me with a big smile and was very professional, straightforward and really caring. I had 2 cavities filled & I had the beginnings of cavities on older filling which she took care of(…). She told me upfront and how much it would cost and let me know what my insurance covered. She also had gentle hands and I didn’t feel a thing! She even polished my teeth afterwards. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I highly recommend her!!  I will never go to another dentist. She is simply THE BEST. Trustworthy and ethical.

Amazing person and dentist. I have never been so taken care of and felt so comfortable in a dentist’s chair. Dr. Raji is also very honest and trustworthy. I make sure that all of my family comes to her. Thank you for being amazing!

★★★★★

Dr. Raji DDS is simply the best. Very professional, caring and honest. Painless fillings and kept my appt on time. Completely trustworthy – no upselling. Will never go to anyone else. I only trust her with my family.

Scott Patterson (Source: Google)

★★★★★

It’s difficult to summarize how amazing Dr. Raji and her team are. After years of neglecting my teeth, I was terrified of going to the Dentist. I met Dr. Raji and discovered she has a gift that few people, let alone medical professionals, possess. She is kind, caring, empathetic and above all, genuinely wants to help her patients. Her work has been life-changing for me, and I wish there were more doctors like her.

Thank you, Dr. Raji! I’m no longer afraid to smile.

Krista R. from Ladera Ranch, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Raji is so kind and patient. During my procedure, she made me feel very comfortable and was very attentive throughout the entire appointment and made sure I left feeling great. She even told me to call her personally if I notice any discomfort and that she would take care of it immediately. Not only is Dr. Raji a compassionate doctor, but she also is very knowledgeable about her practice and explains exactly what she is doing and what the tool will do. I found this very helpful because the dentist still scares me!

★★★★★

Dr. Raji is a fantastic dentist. She’s always so welcoming and warm. Now that I’ve switched my family to see her I’m much more confident with our families overall oral health. She doesn’t try and upsell you all the time either like other dentists.

Balaji Pachiyappan (Source: Google)

★★★★★

Qualities that stands out with Dr. Arunachalam – Honesty, Integrity, Quality care, no up selling, and adheres to appointment time. As I dread going to the dentist because of the brutal gum bleeding and pain this time it was painless and smooth. Also gave recommendation on my teeth grinding and best possible and economic options. She is diligent and takes her time with patients to go through all this(…).

Dr. Raji’s office is warm and welcoming, from the time you walk in till the time you leave. Dr. Raji and her staff will ease your anxiety and do their best to make your experience at the Dentist as pleasant as possible. Dr. Raji takes her time and makes sure her work is done to the highest standard.

Jessica H. from Ladera Ranch, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Cannot recommend Dr. Raji enough!! She is so compassionate and friendly. I have been to several other offices in the past and she was the first to educate all possible options and go over pricing with me to discuss the best option for now and the future. Who else can say that about their dentist? If you are looking for a new dentist, go see her!!! You won’t be disappointed.

★★★★★

Dr. Raji took me on as a patient and corrected prior work that had been done by the previous dentist(…). For that alone, I will remain a loyal patient and anyone I refer to Dr. Raji will not be disappointed. Incredibly honest, sharp, and skilled. Thank you to Dr. Raji, and Christina at the front desk who has always been so helpful and kind.

Dr Raji and her staff have been very compassionate , professional and provide excellent dental services. I have referred her to my family and friends.

Danniel (Source: Google)

★★★★★

Dr. Raji is quick and thorough. After my cleaning, they explained habits to avoid and recommended routines to improve my personal dental hygiene. All my past dentists usually say that my teeth were good and just did the cleaning, but Dr. Raji took the time to offer me proper feedback.

Jennifer Quigley (Source: Google)

★★★★★

Dr. Raji is an experienced dentist who truly cares about the well-being of her patients. It’s easy to tell she has a true passion for helping and educating others. She’s my favorite dentist in Ladera Ranch!

Robert M. from Laguna Woods, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr Raji is great.  She is very professional while at the same time very friendly.  She thoroughly explains any procedures in a way that is easily understandable.  She exudes an air of confidence and is unquestionably very competent.  Her procedures are painless and she is gentle with her touch.  She utilizes the latest techniques and is extremely knowledgeable about her profession.  Unlike some dentists I have used in the past, she checks insurance coverage before any procedure and makes sure I know what my co-pay is before starting so that I may decide on the procedure.

Corie B. from Anaheim, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I had the pleasure of getting a deep cleaning from Dr. Raji. First off She is the most caring and honest Dr. I have had to ever work on my teeth. Her office has great vibes and I love her dental assistant Mariana she was great and has a great smile(: My teeth definitely look and feel better and she recommended me to get Invisalign. I have found my new dentist thanks to Dr. Raji and her awesome team(…). I’ll definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. If you’re scared of the dentist it’s ok Dr. Raji will make you feel comfortable along with her great assistant.

Victoria S. from Newport Beach, CA (Source: Yelp)

Dr. Raji is the best! She is so kind and warm and she makes you feel very comfortable. I never feel the inevitable dread of going to the dentist when I go to see her and I know she is going to give me the absolute best care. If you are looking for a new dentist I highly recommend Dr. Raji.

I had severe tooth ache for almost a month. The first dentist that i saw advised me for a cap. After three weeks of fighting the pain with ibuprofen and Norco and anti inflammatory medicines (all prescribed by an Urgent care doc ), I decided to see a second dentist to see if he/she can fix the pain. I was asked to increase the dose of ibuprofen and deep clean the teeth. Still no solution for my pain yet, that’s when i met Dr. Raji at her office. She identified the cause of the pain right away. I was lucky to get the last appointment of the day. Extending her time, she numbed me and drained all the build up that was causing the pressure and prescribed me a course of Antibiotics. Two, three hours after i had no pain no more. It’s been three days, i don’t have any pain so no pain killers. Such a relief after a month of fighting pain(…). Simply she is best. Great work ethic. Finally a very good dentist in South OC.
