Honda Plaza Dental Clinic

Recently relocated to LA but spent 27 yrs of my life in Germany — and yes, universal health care never made me worry about what dentist to choose. Now I want to make sure I’m ‘in-​network’. I found Dr. Itoh’s office on my provider’s website and gave it a shot as I needed immediate medical attention. His staff emailed and also left me a vm immediately and scheduled an appointment for the next day. Great first impression! Prior to seeing Dr. Itoh I was given detailed insurance related information. This was done one more time after my treatment and I left feeling very confident. About the care I received: It truly could have not been more comprehensive and informative. Dr. Itoh and his hygienist answered all my questions patiently and the evaluation and treatment I received were outstanding. Never did I feel pushed into purchasing a specific treatment, even after asking questions. I’d made a very contrary experience not too long ago with an ‘out-​of-​network’ provider. For anyone who is looking for a great dentist with excellent bedside manner, Dr. Itoh and his team will take care of you!

Dr. Itoh has always new machines and he is very attentive.
Very nice receptionist. The place is clean and offer several drinks.

This isn’t a review as I haven’t actually utilized any of their services. I have merely inquired as to what their prices were for the initial exam.
As of 7÷15÷09, the cost for the initial examination and consultation if you DO NOT have insurance is $ 169. The office itself is fairly well lit with a pinkish background. It is air-​conditioned and there are about 9 – 10 seats with a waiting table inside. The receptionist is a middle-​aged Japanese woman. She seems nice enough. Her English isn’t perfect and she does have a Japanese accent but I could understand her well enough to communicate with her.
**SMALL UPDATE**: I haven’t been back to this office but based on Cliff’s message who is the main dentist there, I believe, I feel it is only right to give a small update. Basically, whatever he said is presumably true since he is the current owner of the dental facility plus the price of the dental examination was raised by $ 10 since 2009. As for the consultation part, if you think about it, the consultation is basically together with the dental exam and x-​rays. Most «general» dental offices wouldn’t charge for consultation save for the higher end and specialized dental facilities who would – for the reason that their facility have special equipment and thus, higher facility usage costs as a result. Nevertheless, it was nice and useful that the main dentist at this dental office messaged me about the update so I bumped up the ‘review’ to 4-​star.
