And the pandemic didn't keep the staff from being their normal, bright, and friendly selves. I've been going to Dr. Pacleb for over a decade, and I've never felt more at ease when going to a dentist's office. They do great work, never try to sell me on unneeded work, and give me the straight truth when discussing what needs to be done. The staff has always been super helpful, and as I mentioned, bright and friendly. It's not too much to say that I love this place (which is probably the last thing anyone expects to hear about a dentist's office).

Horrible! This dentist owned office does bad business in my experience. They owe me an appt that I…read morehave already paid. Mostly the problems are with the manager (deception & delayed or no communication) though isn't every owner the one ultimately responsible? They market they will give you a Report of Findings type end visit with the manager who claims clinician experience. Is she an unlicensed technician of some sort that is able to give findings after assement from what the actually licensed dentist (who btw used to perform that part 2 of the overall multi visit) This being up to half hour (in office appt based) as your last part of services rendered while establishing care. I never got one and they are quite dismissive on keeping their word on critical piece of the assesment. Isnt precisely what is wrong with our teeth important for us to know??!!!!! A family member who was treated haphazardly as well when she was assured certain appt never got it either. They made it so hard she gave up and established elsewhere. In my situation there were not even any chart notes after an extensive visit. Well now that is one way to not accountable to anyone! Or dentist the forgot? Or is office trying a new method to just do a minimal to no charting? I see cutting corners in this business or just going rogue and not giving a shit. The manager (or Dentist in my case) withheld time sensitive information that I needed a very specialized Dr outside of the office and didn't even have the respect to tell me in real time or tell me why (with dx etc) I was recommended this type of care. Extraordinary poorly managed medical dental office. If you want to be treated like a number and wait a long time for communication that may never come this is your place. They sure are capable it seems in taking your money. They have that skill down. Glad I owe not a penny and have verification of what I just stated above.

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.

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!

Sorry but this dystopian future where we have replaced in-person interactions with a human speaking to me from an iPad is not it and makes me want to seek a new office that still has a warm human experience.

Over the phone I was quoted over $800 out of pocket for two baby teeth extractions for my daughter. She's double insured. We went back and forth on different phone calls about this. When I questioned it they tried to sell me a payment plan. I said no thanks and I would go somewhere else. The next day I got a voicemail about them needing to get a quote from the secondary insurance and that taking 7-10 business days. I am not sure where the mix up began and why this happened that being said I can't trust them in the future with billing.

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.

Then, I told my friend how they fashioned a video to take my teeth from all crooked to perfect with Invisalign (after been told by a dept head at a prestigious dental university this wouldn't work for me); she said that this practice told her whole family they need Invisalign! These are young people with gorgeous teeth. One visit after a cleaning they added a fluoride treatment without asking me. Then they charged me $75 for it, at least double what any other practice was charging at the time. I can't wait to try a new dentist that feels like their priority is medical rather than commercial.

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.
