    Requiring an extraction and implant, I made numerous visits to his office, and the staff were prepared for me, with no hiccups.

    I know reviews can really help so im leaving one. I chose Soft Touch Denistry to begin due to all…read morethe 5 star reviews and here is another one. The care i have received from this entire office has been absolutely outstanding to say the least. I have seen ("Dr. Alex") they call him, four times now and every single time i have received exceptional care from Dr Alex, the dental assistant, the front office staff and also the sweet lady who does the billing. I only wish i had found this denistry years ago, they are all just amazing!

    False Advertisement…read more I paid $456 for a package advertised as including two professional cleanings, but what I received was completely misleading and honestly infuriating. At my first appointment on September 22, 2025, the hygienist only cleaned half of my teeth in about 30 minutes and told me to come back later in the week to finish. Then the office claimed that this second visit would count as my "second cleaning." So basically, they tried to count one cleaning split into two sessions as the two cleanings I paid for. That's like paying for two burritos and being given one burrito cut in half -- it's absurd. This whole situation was incredibly stressful, frustrating, and felt like a complete scam. It honestly ruined my week trying to sort it out. Their own brochure clearly states "two professional cleanings," yet I only got half of one. The experience left me feeling deceived and taken advantage of, and I would strongly warn others to stay away or double-check everything before paying.

    Based on previous Yelp reviews, I was extremely hesitant to visit the office. Prior to going to…read moremy appointment, which they did reschedule for me with no problem, I reviewed the costs for the procedures. When I arrived, staff addressed me by name and confirmed the cost and what was included in the introductory special. The dentist who conducted the examination was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She explained to me what needed to be done and reviewed my x-rays pointing out the specific areas of concern. She stated her findings would be relayed to staff who would then review the costs with me. After a short time, I was presented with the cost breakdown of each procedure including covered/not covered items and my out-of-pocket cost. I was pleased with the entire experience including my interaction with staff. If there are any issues with my future appointments, I will update my review.

    If only I can give NO STARS. I have been going to this dentistry for a few years now and was always…read morehesitant going in because someway somehow, they'll find a procedure I "need" done but I stayed because of the location convenience... until today. I come in for my routine cleaning and the atmosphere just feels off. The entire staff and doctors are new. The front operations manager asked if I had gotten a notice that they have new dr's but honestly, I don't recall if I ever did because my past appointments kept getting cancelled for over 5 months now. The new dentist, Dr. Lemon, examines my teeth, DRAGS the probe along my gums, I can taste the blood at this point but I sit through. He tells me he wants to do an onlay on a tooth I just recently had a filling for during my past visit??? Why do I need to do another procedure to fix a tooth that was already fixed?! And they want me to pay out of pocket because my insurance won't cover? Anyway, this will be the last visit from me at this location. Cancelled my 6mo visit as soon as I walked out and will not be returning. Stay away from here guys. Save your moneys and time!

    My kids love going here and never complain because of the super friendly staff. Everyone is…read moreseriously awesome, from when you first walk in and encounter the front desk staff (hi, Nancy!), to the incredibly patient dental assistants, and the very informative doctor (we have Dr. Jenny who is great and did my youngest daughter's silver caps when she was 4). Special shout-out to my son's dental assistant today (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) but she was AMAZING, as always. All 3 of them were great, but I think his particularly did a wonderful job calming my son. My son is typically very squirmy and uncooperative (super difficult 3 year old!), but I told her he must like her because he was so comfortable around her! He took his first x-rays today and I was pleasantly surprised he followed her directions without crying, screaming or kicking once, for both the x-ray and the cleaning/checkup. This is seriously a huge win, he doesn't even cooperate like this at home We've been coming her since my youngest daughter was 1, and the amount of friendliness here can't be compared. Covid hasn't stopped the quality of their care. My eldest daughter also uses their orthodontic services and is happy with her braces. It's been about a year and her teeth never looked better! Thank you all so much for taking good care of all 3 of my children's teeth!

    Very friendly staff. Very clean office. Has a kid play area.My daughter's first appointment Went so…read morewell. They were very nice. They made her feel safe. After x-rays, they gave her some stickers. After a cleaning, they gave her a balloon. And took her picture for the wall. I'm glad it's an orthodontist in the same building as well. We got two visits in one. She does need teeth pulled so I don't know how to rate them as of now. Her old Dentist made her feel everything. I'm hoping this place is better when it comes to pull teeth and be patient with the kids. because as of now my daughter is scared still with past experience at old dentist. and I hope that this place will be here forever Dentist. We'll see. update: she had 3 teeth pulled out and Dr.Jenny Victoria explained everything and every step to my daughter. My daughter barely felt the numbing needle. She didn't feel the teeth being pulled. She was provided with laughing gas right away and it seemed to help. Every step and everything that was done was so easy gentle and wonderful. Dr was so great with my daughter and honestly I'm so glad I found this place. She made my daughter feel safe. She made her laugh and made sure she knew exactly what every step was. I wish all dentist did this.

    Still stand by what I wrote over a year ago…read more I feel like when my life is constantly changing having certain things remain stable through my life are really nice to reflect on. One of those is Dr. Hashimoto's office. I've been here a handful of times this new year for jaw issues that he's been working on with me. One of the reasons why I will always suggest Dr. Hashimoto is because of how methodical he is in explaining what he's doing. He walks you through every procedure no matter how big or small. The hygienists here are always lovely, as well as Valerie and Lisa! Lisa is a new face to me at least, but a welcome addition. One example I'll give is a recent one. I have jaw locking that's due from stress/potential clenching at night. I came in for a visit in which Dr. Hashimoto worked my jaws a bit and I ended up having my jaw lock as he was working on my mouth. His concern was so apparent, it was like an automatic switch. He made sure my mouth wasn't opening to wide, he had Alley put a little gauze in my mouth to keep my mouth open without having me attempt to do so myself. I'm one of those patients, no matter how uncomfortable I say I'm okay because I know I can get through it. This jaw locking was probably my first experience with pain in the seat. It was reassuring to feel his genuine concern in that moment. Sometimes you read horror stories about doctors who act in an unprofessional manner and disregard the comfort of their patients. You won't experience that here. Dr. Hashimoto is witty and engaging. His staff becomes a part of your life in a way. You ask about their kids, ask about the holidays, you exchange stories. It's reassuring and comforting. If you're on the hunt in Sacramento, look no further. I moved down to LA almost three years ago and I still refuse to go anywhere else.

    I have been going to Dr Hashimoto for almost 30 years, and my children also went to him after they…read moreaged out of pediactric dentistry. He is BY FAR the BEST dentist I have ever had, and I went to several others before he was recommended to me by friends. He is meticulous, detailed, has a gentle touch, he's funny, and explains EVERYTHING thoroughly before and during a procedure. His staff are top notch because he demands excellence from all of them. His office is immaculate and beautifully decorated. He has gone the extra mile to ensure a very clean and safe environment for patients and staff during these covid times we now live in (e.g., upgraded HVAC system, UV lights, etc.). I am just sorry that it has taken me this long to finally write a review.
