Dr.Lawson is incredibly meticulous with every task and I can tell that she takes whatever time necessary to ensure the highest quality and sustainable care. Not to mention, she is extremely talented at what she does. I had 4 fillings done and they look like my regular teeth. What a relief as the irreversible, stained dent was on my front tooth! Also, I felt demoralized about the state of my teeth due to heavy brushing and grinding. However, she helped me reframe and reminded me that it can only get better from now on. I felt encouraged and empowered with the necessary knowledge and tools to better care for my teeth. I've been to a few dental offices before and no one told/taught me how to prevent further recession until I came to Dr. Lawson's office. Everybody in that office is super professional, kind, knowledgeable and caring. I feel so grateful for this beautiful team of empowering women! Thank you!

Bianca always does prolific work, and she clearly enjoys her work. I've experienced hygienists who are too nervous, bitter, or heavy handed at other practices, and trust me, this gifted woman is none of those things. Bianca is a treasure! In fact, the office staff is friendly, and the office itself is clean, and carries an intention of cultivating wellness in our bodies and the environment. This practice is way more holistic than Total Health, which I feel should call itself Total Hustle for a number of reasons, the first if which is that it's not practicing holistic dentistry as it claims. Dr. Lawson's practice is more sincere in their ability to deliver holistic dentistry. They are also fairly straight up about pricing, so when they had to go out of network with my provider, I still stayed with them and am able to plan and manage it. The quality is worth it!

5 stars and they continue to surprise me…read more Based on my visit on July 17, 2025, I want to add to my 5 star 2022 review, and to all the other positive things people have written here. The actions of everyone involved with that visit exceeded the already high opinion and expectations I've had for this practice. (Probably TMI, but I was returning after a 15-month gap, though the assumption at my last visit was that I'd have more dental work done and another cleaning before the end of 2004. I'd phoned earlier this week and Karissa was able to work some skilled scheduling magic to get me seen much sooner than I'd expected.) Dr. Lim was, as always, pleasant and skilled in his exam, and then excellent at clearly explaining the changes since he'd last seen me and what our options were for proceeding. Then he clearly and transparently answered my questions about the pros and cons of each option, and we agreed on a plan for the future dental work. Then, my teeth were cleaned by dental hygienist Kat (or Cat, shame on. me for not having clarified the spelling of her name, especially since this was the second time she'd worked on my teeth). For 20 years or more, until her retirement, Leslie had been the hygienist at this office who did my cleanings. She was excellent, and I figured she'd be a "hard act to follow," so it was a very pleasant surprise when Kat did my cleaning in 2024 and I realized that her skill level at both dental hygiene and patient interaction is everything one could possibly wish for, which was again the case on July 17. Also, the "desk staff" are always pleasant and helpful, including, of course, Mindy, who answered the phone when I called the next day to get the correct spelling of Karissa's name while neglecting to get the correct spelling of Cat's, and to explain that I was going to ignore the request to do a Google review but would add to my previous Yelp review. As I now have.

I attempted to become a patient here 4 years ago. After an initial intake appointment with the…read moredentist, they refused to give me an appointment for a cleaning, even months out. They just said I would be on the waitlist. I was on the waitlist forever and never received a single call for an opening. Of course, I eventually found another dentist. Now 4 YEARS later I get a bill for that initial intake appointment. I've had dental insurance this whole time, and it doesn't seem they bothered to bill my insurance for my initial visit that didn't even include a cleaning. What nonsense it this? I've called to have it clear up and was just bounced around to various people, with no resolution. Next month, I got another bill in the mail again. My address is wrong and they haven't even fixed that. This is the most unprofessional dentist I've ever experienced. Don't waste your time.

I continue to proclaim that Mr. Rangchi is a conman and a crook. His response to my comment was…read moredevious and misguiding. No dentist only performs an exam and then books you for another visit to do the routine cleaning. Insurances cover preventative care which requires a preventative cleaning. His attempt to prolong my visits was a deliberate attempt at insurance fraud. He "diagnosed" me with periodontal decay midway through my routine cleaning with the dental hygienist and insisted I do a periodontal cleaning. Periodontal cleanings are done over 2-4 visits under anesthesia and performed by the dentist not an assistant, because they are very invasive and painful. This type of cleaning is mostly performed on older adults. As person that has been getting her teeth cleaned by a dentist every 6 months and getting x-rays once a year for 40 years and has never been told anything close to this "diagnosis", this is alarming. I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't read his reviews until after I visited his office. I went to his office because he was a walking distance from my apartment and he was in my insurance network. READ ALL REVIEWS, start with the negative AND detailed ones. The ones with no comments or bubbly short comments are most likely fake. Conmen know how to game the review systems. My explanation of benefits stated he had performed a periodontal cleaning over a period of two visits. As he said in his response, I only visited his office once as a new patient and never visited his office again. I reported him to my insurance for fraud and to the board of dentists of California. However, these systems are built on trust bestowed on the dentists, and the paperwork submitted, whether truthful or not. Only after multiple people report him will they actually investigate him. CHECK YOUR EXPLANATION OF BENEFITS! If his diagnosis seems extreme, get a second opinion. Don't fall for the conman's sense of urgency. If he makes you feel like you have to take care of it right away, it means he doesn't want you to research it and educate yourself or get a second opinion. REPORT INSURANCE FRAUD. I have since visited 2 dentists and had 4 routine preventative exams and cleanings. Not once has another dentists said I have periodontal decay. He clearly lied and committed insurance fraud. Lastly, Mr. Rangchi, thank you for calling me a "very young adult". Looks like my facial care, along with my dental care, are both working very well.

I can't say enough about my awesome dentist. Friendly…read moreoffice, professional team and great doctor.
