The most frustrating consultation. First of all...the reviews on the office Manager Terry being rude and condescending is an understatement!!! As for the visit..... $710 for very limited oral exam, 4 bitewing X-rays, panoramic image and CT scan. The exam was mostly Dr Son going over why root canals are bad (thank you I know that), and muscle testing to confirm all root canal treated teeth need to come out, along with all my composite fillings because according to my pinky and middle finger test, they are not compatible with my body. The most frustrating part is that all the images I took were

I had some important dental work I needed to do and after researching several dentists known to be top experts in holistic dentistry, I chose Dr. David Son. Now that the work has been performed, I'm extremely glad I chose this practice. No patient is one size fits all and Dr. Son is an expert at tuning into the patient's needs and adapting what he does for the best outcome. He's extremely careful and his bedside manner is absolutely outstanding. He only does the work that needs to be done and will tell you outright if you actually don't need work you thought you did -- which happened in my case

Dr. Son is an extremely knowledgeable dentist and truly cares about his patients! Unfortunately, the office manager, Terry is very rude and even condescending! From my first call when I was looking for a new dentist she was very unkind and accused me of lying when I told her I left a message and that nobody had called me back. She also seemed to conveniently forget to advise me of extra fees until after I was billed. The only reason I will not return to Dr. Son is due to the nasty office manager, Terry! How sad that one terrible person can keep people from going back to a great business..

Amazing place to take care of my dental needs for over 10 years. My teeth were beautifully aligned, removed wisdom teeth, cavity filled and regular cleaning. Getting older but I still have my teeth and looking better than 10 years ago...

Dr. Son is a knowledgeable and kind dentist, and Terry and the rest of the staff are also lovely! I love Dr. Son's approach to dentistry. It feels far more holistic and thorough than in my previous experience with previous dentists, and I am seeing better results.

Dr. Son has been my dentist for several years now and I wouldn't go to anyone else, which is saying a lot, since I have a dentist in my family. Dr. Son is gentle, kind, a total perfectionist and to me his being a Naturopath is a definite bonus. It's great knowing he is informed and practices all the latest and safest procedures and techniques. I have referred family members and friends and they all love him.

Update: I was not upset because you don't accept instance. I'm upset because of the way you treat people.

I had a cleaning with April for the first time since the pandemic. I was very impressed with the safety features they have implemented. Definitely exceeded expectations. April is absolutely the best as is Dr Son.

April is hands down the best dental hygienist I have ever had! She literally will get every single corner of your teeth cleaned. My teeth are sparkling white right now and I'm so joyous I had to write a review! I hate going to the dentist so it's always scary for me but she makes you feel calm and safe somehow. She always has me laughing and feeling like I'm hanging out with a friend

Amazing! I was looking last year for a holistic minded dentist for major work on my teeth. After hours and hours of searching and speaking to offices mainly in LA, I found Dr Son. His prices were much better than the holistic dentists in LA and his attention to detail and kind heart put me at ease.
I literally almost fell asleep while having a crown put in, it was that pleasant. (I used the gas and the mouth piece that rests gently to keep mouth open while they work and act as a suction. It’s a genius invention that I haven’t seen at other offices I consulted with.)

Sorry, but I did my research and my conclusion says otherwise. No reputable organization on the planet endorses the removal of all amalgam due to toxicity. The dentist that made the amalgam argument famous, Hal Huggins, had his license revoked for gross negligence.

Also in response to your assertion that the recommendations for immediate treatment was based off your professional assessment, I would disagree. I could not get a clear answer as to why my treatments could not be delayed a few months as I had no urgent

I just had two crowns replaced this week by Dr Son. The experience was fantastic. The first appointment was completely painless, which is a MIRACLE when having dental treatment done! I had "temporary" crowns that were comfortable and functional that I wore for a little over two weeks. Then I went back for another appointment to have the real crowns put on. Another painless appointment. (Thanks Dr Son!) My new crowns are gorgeous. They are beautiful and they feel like my teeth, a perfect fit!
I can honestly say I love seeing my dentist! Dr Son is a ninja-master of dentistry and he does

We moved across country 2 years ago and I really wanted a homeopathic dentist, so any work and care would be done safely. Dr. David Son is the closest to that in our area. (He is a biological dentist.) You can tell that he really cares about his patients' health. He is gentle, efficient, and makes every attempt for work to be painless. He treats both myself and my 2 kids. The front desk staff is super nice and helpful as well. They really take the time to explain the process and make sure you understand the procedure and costs involved. We love the hygienists as well. All super sweet and gentle

Dr Son is a very skilled and knowledgable dentist. Better yet, he is friendly and you can tell he cares. His staff all made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. From the moment I came in for my first visit 4 years ago I knew I had found a great office that I could count on for my dental care.

What will likely matter most to people, Dr. Son is the absolute best at making sure you feel ZERO pain. His numbing process is the equivalent of breathing. You just don't know when the process has started and then your gums are numb. Sounds to good to be true. That's the feeling I get every single time I go through the process.

Dr. Son is very patient and genuinely gives off a positive comforting energy.

I've been maybe 7 times and each time I leave grateful.

First time I went there they were nice, but heavy up-sell on cosmetic dentistry. I went in for a cleaning and walked out with a 5k treatment plan and when do you want start and you can fiance it.
The last time I checked with the office to make sure my new provider would cover them. Then they tell me we are not in your network, even though I asked, and then they got nasty and tried to blame us.
Don't go there unless you want to be up-sold on cosmetic dentistry.
