William E Larson, DDS

Since I was a kid I’ve been seeing Dr. Larson. He’s easily the most kind, upbeat and caring medical professional I’ve ever met. I’ve seen him both with and without insurance, and he’s always been concerned with what’s the best outcome for me before anything else.
Regarding dental work, I’ve had a large variety of procedures (over 15 just this year), varying from fillings to root canals and wisdom tooth extractions. He is extremely precise and gentle in all of his work. I’ve never felt even the slightest discomfort during a procedure. Similarly, I’ve never once needed to take pain medication after even the most intense root canal or extraction, despite having it on hand.
I can’t emphasize enough how great my experiences have been over the last 15 years, and I’ve yet to meet someone whom had a substantiated concern regarding their experience. A talented dentist, and an amazing person. Highly recommended.

Wonderful dentist and staff! Everyone is kind and helpful. Glad we found a great dentist to go to in San Diego!

I love everything about this place! Great staff, great dentist, great service and care. I had been a couple of years ago, but due to a change in employers, my provider was different for awhile. But now I’m back and couldn’t be happier. I was even 30 minutes late to my appointment yesterday due to some stupid car trouble, and they STILL accommodated me! I mean, who else in the medical field does that?! I was prepared to re-​schedule, but they took great care of me anyway! I actually LOVE going to the dentist, I always have. I may not have always taken the best care of my teeth, but they inspire me to make better choices for my continued good oral health. I can’t say enough about this place, and I’m looking forward to my next visit! Thank you, Dr. Larson and staff… you guys are fabulous!

Dr. Larson has been my dentist for almost 25 years and he is great! Very nice office staff also. He is very kind, patient and gentle in his work. I am glad that a coworker recommended him years ago.

Dr. Larson has been my dentist for over 10 years now. He is the most gentle and caring dentist. I have never had a problem with his work. His staff is friendly.

Excellent dentist and — since bad teeth run in my family — YUK! — I’ve seen my share of DDSes. Efficient and flexible staff, accurate billing, and above all an experienced hand in practicing his profession. This guy is so good he even did a couple of fillings w/​o anesthesia, and I’m sensitive to pain. The several implants and buildups he’s done for me have all weathered well and post-​work pain has always been minimal. Dr. Larson’s also consulted for the Dental Bd. of California in the past, so he’s recognized by his peers as good, and he get’s my highest recommendation.

This is the best dentist I have ever been to. First his staff… everyone from the front desk to the dental hygienist to the dental assistants are fantastic. Everyone is very friendly and concerned about patient comfort. Dr. Larson is amazing. He doesn’t do unnecessary procedures that other dentists claim you need. He does a fantastic job with cosmetic dentistry. I had a crooked front tooth that had always bugged me. Talked to several dentists about it only to be told it was either braces or nothing at all.
Dr. Larson also talked about braces but when I said No he didn’t push me on it. He then gave me options on what I could do. Bottom line my front teeth are fixed, they look great and I am very happy.
Best dentist ever!!! I would recommend him to anyone!

2 stars for a great staff!!! Thumbs up! A little more structure & organization would have been great! I was seen because I chipped a tooth… OUCH…so I get my X-​rays and so far so good!!! He comes in to check… puts a temp filling, says he doesn’t THINK there’s an abscess & sends me on my way w/​an appt to get a crown. I’m sitting now literally in pain.. .UGH…I get a call to verify my appt. I tell the person on the other end that I am in great pain, was there a way to be seen sooner. I’m on hold & hold & hold & hold only to find out that Mr. Larson is going to refer me to another dentist! Wha… wha…what!!! So I ask the staff, he doesn’t do root canals?! Yes, he does, they say… but I was scheduled in for a crown NOT a root canal. Whatevs… lots of BOOs on my end.
I end up going to a different dentist Dr. Koepke… not only did he help alleviate my anxieties but he found (CHECK THIS OUT)…the reason why I was in so much pain… I had an abscess after all!!! No dentist will bad mouth a fellow dentist but when I told him I had just seen him a week ago he wondered why it wasn’t noticed… I am now on some powerful antibiotics and still in alot of pain… UGH.
The staff was nice but whoever called me to confirm was a bit flustered up, put me on hold several times for her to ask questions to stuff she should already know! Tsk tsk organization.
BOTTOM LINE: My experience was not all that great. The staff was nice & I must admit reasonably priced (had I gotten the opportunity to get work done) :(
BOO

Read review on Unilocal and decided to call and try to get in. I got a friendly person on the other end who gave me a same day appointment. When I walked into facility, immediately you feel the warmth from the staff and welcomed. I believe my hygienist was named Natalie… She was amazing and with all my dental anxiety I felt comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Larson also had a great presence that added to my ease. He also took time to hear me and my concern for a tooth. From phone call to end of visit everyone I encountered was AMAZING and we had some good laughs.

My entire family has been going to Dr. Larson for years, he is always very nice, does great work, and makes you very comfortable, even when you have to have needles put in your mouth. Highly recommend!!!

Best dentist I’ve been to. Unlike the last dentist who seemed like they just wanted to get you out the door and an inexperienced staff, Dr Larson took the time to explain anything I had questions about, gave me some tips on sensitive gum areas, and was overall very pleasant. His staff is just as nice and gave me the most thorough cleaning I’ve had. Jessica was very personable and took the time to pause the cleaning to chit chat, rather than either not talking at all, or asking questions and expecting the half choked, garbled response you get with a vacuum stuck to your tongue. Would definitely recommend to anybody.

Dr Larson was great, showed me my X-​rays and explained in detail how he could tell I had a cavity and how I got it, which was me not flossing. Then he showed me how to floss properly. He was super nice and informative. His dentist office isn’t super fancy or anything though, it just has an old school homie feel to it.

Dr. Larson has been caring for me and my entire family for over 10yrs. He is a highly skilled and caring dentist, he makes sure his patients understand what is being done and why it’s needed. The staff is great, very friendly, and helpful when it comes to dealing with insurance.

Dr Larson has been my dentist since 12 years old Im 39. My son has seen him since he was 2 now 13. And my parents have been going to him for years. He is a true family dentist not like most which are so high in turnover and time. He spends the time you need and is very caring about how you feel and will give you the extra time if you need it. Hes been around a while and answers all your questions, and his dentistry is very good. Lots of experience and a great little practice. I dont trust anyone else with my teeth. Hard to find that anymore.

Great Dentist… even thought I have been a bad patient. Sorry Doc, I will come see you more often. Not just when I have to.

Excellent dentist!
