Great dentist!!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Yoshimaru! He is very gentle and professional! Staff are always friendly and helpful!

Absolutely the best! I highly recommend and have seen him for years, and the office is top notch as well.

My entire family goes here for good reason. Dr. Yoshimaru, Hortensia, Irene, and every single staff member here is excellent. They are so warm, kind, and thorough. I don't understand the stereotype of dreading going to the dentist. I never sweat it and am grateful for the good energy and excellent dental care at each visit. read more

$24 Parking - First meeting cleaning and X-rays + $1000 this is my experience I left ASAP and mention it to my Friends (Some dentists) who said not to go farther ! read more

I have seen Dr. Yashamaru for over 20 years. He is the best dentist I've ever been to. He has the latest equipment. He can do a crown in one day. No wearing a temporary cap for a week and then having to come back for your permanent. He does everything to keep you from having pain and he is a lovely person. His office is filled with professional and kind people. Dr. Yashamaru is the dentist for me! Pegarty Long read more

I am not the best patient. I'm neurotic, I'm not on top of my dental appointments, taking care of things as good as I should. But, Dr. Y is always welcoming, kind and patient. He explains, he cares and he anticipates my concerns. EVERYONE in his office is first rate, top notch, they are people you would like to be friends with...AND their work is beautiful. Very comfortable office atmosphere. I highly recommend Dr. Y, it will be a positive experience! read more

I had dental insurance for a while and after having a VERY BAD experience with a different dentist in the same building (*cough* Yvonne Goff *cough*), I took a coworker's recommendation and went to Dr. Yoshimaru even though he didn't accept my dental insurance. Totally worth paying out of pocket. The other reviewers are dead-on in everything they say. The office is clean and technologically advanced, the staff is so, so, so nice, Dr. Yoshimaru is incredibly kind and caring, and no one tries to up-sell you on services you don't need (this has not been my experience with dentists in LA -- *cough* Yvonne Goff *cough*). I really can't say enough good things about Dr. Yoshimaru and his staff. They're truly good people and are truly good at what they do. I honestly am happy to go to the dentist now. It's no longer something I dread or avoid, but rather a pleasant experience that leaves me knowing I am taking care of my body. Also, since having such a positive experience with this office, I feel like I'm proactively taking care of my dental hygiene for the first time since I was a child. I think my teeth are very relieved :) read more

Dr Yoshimaru's dental practice is as good as it gets. My old dentist was having trouble with a crown on one of my teeth, and it was causing me a lot of discomfort. Finally I had to find somebody else, and was referred to Dr Yoshimaru by a colleague at work. He fixed my tooth in one visit. He uses a computer-aided system when you need a crown and this is a BIG deal: No more biting down on gel molds, and everything is done in one visit. No more temporary crowns. I would never again go to a dentist who doesn't have this system. All of his staff are friendly and helpful. They do a great job of working with my dental insurance. I have referred friends to this dental practice and they have all had the same great experience. read more

Both my husband and I have been patients for 25 years. That tells it all. Dental hygienists are 5 star, as well as the technicians. This is the best dental facility to me. Dr. Y is the BEST. read more

Dr. Yoshimaru is probably one of the best dentists I have seen in my life, and certainly here in California. While they are not in-network with any insurance, if you have out-of-network coverage they will accept that along with payment for the difference, and file for you. They do not use the contracted rates in-network providers offer, so the prices are steep... however, if you set that monthly insurance payment, co-pay, and deductible aside in the bank, it helps to offset some of the costs. I liked the confident and friendly demeanor of the entire staff, and love the fact that I could get a porcelain crown in one visit with little to no pain. I will be back soon! read more

Amazingly friendly and highly professional staff, the quality of customer service is exceptional at this office. Dr. Yoshimaru is pretty amazing, always gentle and an absolute perfectionist. He's been our family dentist since the early 1990's. We all receive compliments on our teeth on a daily basis. I recommend him without hesitation with one exception, the prices can be steep. But you really do get what you pay for in this case. He's worth every penny. read more

Best dentist and staff ever. Over 8 years going here and have referred probably a dozen people and they all love him. Irene, at reception and handles billing, is amazing too and works wiht you to get the insurance companies to pay. read more

Dr. Y has been my dentist for 20 years. He has a very pleasant chair side manor and shows great empathy for and does whatever he can to alleviate any discomfort you may be having. His staff are fantastic as well. Highly recommended. read more

Dr Yoshimaru is both technically and personally exceptional. He is so jovial and fun which takes your mind off the unpleasant mouth issues. He is able to somehow pickup a conversation from 6months prior. Irene and Hortencia are super professional and incredibly personable. They always seem to accommodate us on short notice. They are first class all around. Parking is always free too to boot. read more

He is the most skilled and pleasant dentist I have ever encountered. It is obvious that he is extremely well trained. He is tech-advanced with the latest dental lasers, 3d software, digital imaging, and implant fabrication machines. He has a wonderful bedside manner and amazing judgement. I completely trust my mouth to him. In addition, His staff is top notch. I received the most precise and thorough cleaning I have ever had by his hygienist. No one likes the dentist - somehow coming away from his office you feel good about the experience. read more

Dr. Yoshimaru is a ROCKSTAR of dentistry. I 100% completely not only recommend him, but insist that you use him. His practice is for general and cosmetic dentistry. First, his staff is lovely. They are friendly, knowledgeable, informative and very accommodating. Second, his office and equipment are first-rate. Everything is comfy but pristine and the equipment is all on the cutting edge. I recently had a crown and was blown away by what they had available in the office. And then there is Dr. Yoshimaru. He's good-humored, highly intelligent and skilled and will make your mouth perfection! Go! Go! Go! read more

Moving to Santa Monica, I needed a new dentist. This is the most organized and professional dental office I've even been to. The office is warm and inviting. Starting with the greeting you get coming through the door. Dr. Yoshimaru uses all of the latest equipment, and always focuses on what treatment is best for the patient. My dental hygienist Jami was very sweet, she gently and very thoroughly cleaned my teeth. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Y and his whole staff. There's a reason most of his patients are from referrals... read more

Dr. Yoshimaru is absolutely excellent, and also really friendly, with a great personality. Hygienist Lena is also excellent, and also really friendly. The rest of the staff is great, too. You can't do any better anywhere else. read more

Dr. Yoshimaru's office is top notch. Very clean - runs on time - he doesn't push unnecessary stuff - very thorough and thoughtful. His staff is pleasant and seem to enjoy working in his office as the vibe is very upbeat and professional. My entire family goes to him and I've recommended to many friends and co-works without issue. He also appears to be very up to date with his procedures and equipment/technology. read more

David Yoshimaru runs an A+ practice. His staff are thorough and knowledgeable - you can tell they take the time to work together as a team and truly care about the service they provide. I highly recommend this office. read more

I've also been going to Dr. Yoshimaru for years, after having multiple bad experiences with other dentists. The other reviews on this site are spot-on-- Yoshimaru's office is the most advanced, well-maintained and friendly dentist's office anywhere! It is true that he can be expensive, but you see where the money is going every time you are in his office with the equipment, expertise and personnel. I would never go anywhere else. read more

Dr. Yoshimaru was my dentist for ten years. He was great, the staff was great, easy to park, easy to find, he always explained what he was doing when I had to get more than a simple teeth cleaning and he always has the latest technology/equipment to save you time. I recently moved and had to change dentists. I had to get a crown from my new dentist and I was given a crown that was too big for my jaw. It was an unpleasant experience. I ended up contacting Dr. Yoshimaru because I wanted it done correctly. He made me a new crown (quickly) and it was done correctly. He is my new dentist again and even though the drive is far for me, it is worth it. Dr. Yoshimaru is very professional and he rules! read more

I had been looking for a Dentist in Santa Monica, as I live here, and was tired of driving into Hollywood for my old Dentist, who had gotten sloppy with his work, and had started becoming very difficult to get into. Not because he was so great, but because he was never there. I asked a friend of mine, who has beautiful straight white teeth, who her Dentist is, and she referred me to Dr. Yoshimaru. I am so happy to have found him! He did my inlay for me and I have had zero problems with it. I am able to get appointments with him quickly, and the wait time at his office has never been more than 5 minutes. He is professional, warm and friendly and made me feel at ease from the minute I met him. Actually Irene and the rest of his staff are fantastic as well. He also validates parking...in Santa Monica, which is a huge bonus! I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Yosimaru, and am so happy to have him as my new Dentist. I highly recommend him! read more
