Lawrence J Hashimoto, DDS

I am a new patient who is very impressed by Dr. Hashimoto. His office got me in quickly to address a chipped tooth. He listened to my concerns, worked quickly and efficiently, but at the same time was considerate and gentle — and my new crown fits perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised that he does teeth cleaning himself and it was the first time that I was not horribly uncomfortable during the process. His staff is also very pleasant and accommodating. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Hashimoto has been my general dentist for the past few years. Even though I don’t live in the South Bay any more, I fly back to see my family and receive dental care from him because he’s the best!
I get regular cleanings and recently cavity fillings. He is friendly, prompt, fast, and painless — really technically skilled! Never pokes me or anything. I never get unnecessary procedures or products — just exactly the dental care I need and want.
The wait times are also really short here compared to my previous dentist’s office. I like that Dr. Hashimoto and his staff respect your time. Highly recommended!

I just came back from his office today for my semi-​annual teeth cleaning. I’ve been going here for just a few years now and I love the fact that the dentist himself does the cleaning, not a hygienist. He’s kind, gentle and while personable, isn’t the type of guy to talk your ear off while he’s got the suction-​thingy hanging out the corner of your mouth. He doesn’t upsell you on stuff. I’ve had my whitening trays done by him and also some tooth bonding. He’s detail oriented and I really like the good care he takes. Thanks, Dr. Hashimoto!

This has been my Dentist Office for over 25 years, and they’ve always been the same, Great work! Great staff! Great service!

This dentist is the BEST! I broke a tooth and had to get in to have it looked at, my appointment was prompt on my busy time schedule. I needed a crown and he was very kind to me asking if I was ok while he was drilling. He is the most gentleness dentist that i have ever had. My family has been going to him for over 15 years and I always recommend him when I can. The staff is terrific too, Candice & Bahia long time employees.

I was referred to Dr. Hashimoto by another dentist because I had an accident on a Saturday wherein I broke/​chipped three of my teeth. The upside is Dr. Hashimoto called me back after I spoke to the woman fielding the emergency calls. The downside is Dr. Hashimoto’s response to me was appalling and likely unethical.
Dr. Hashimoto refused to treat me on a weekend because he «didn’t know [me].» When I questioned him about this he said he’d come in if I was a patient of his, but since I wasn’t, he wouldn’t treat me. Little did he know I was willing to give him my future business. He then went on and on about how I wasn’t a patient of his, so he basically didn’t care that I needed emergency dental assistance. Essentially, he told me he didn’t want to help me because he didn’t know me.
To top it off, he couldn’t even refer me to someone who would be willing to help. Instead, he simply stated that he doubted any dentist would come in on the weekend. I could not believe how rude, unprofessional, and unhelpful he was to a potential lifetime patient.
Obviously, I have no idea if his work is any good, but if «he knows [you],» I’m sure you’ll be fine.

excellent dentist. agree with both the other reviews… very friendly… totally knowledgeable… and great staff… office very clean and modern. love the large fish display in front… and in emergency. they will see you in same day… five stars

Great dentist. Staff very friendly. One of the «good» dentists that’s actually covered by my insurance!!! Never tries to recommend more than what’s needed. Doesn’t push cosmetic dentistry and whitening like so many other dentists. Small but very professional office with plenty of free parking. Nice rooms with beautiful aquariums.
