Yamada Jason M, DDS MS

I was afraid to go to the dentist since my last experience. I went for a «deep cleaning» where the previous dentist charged me exorbitant fees and gave me a torturous experience I will never forget.
My appointment was at 2:00 p.m. and my cleaning started right on the dot. Gary assisted me. I told him about my last dentist experience and Gary said that I can expect a similar experience because I had a lot of tartar and plaque build-​up. I braced for the onslaught of pain, which NEVER came. Gary was extremely patient and thorough. I felt like a different person when I walked out! My teeth felt incredibly clean.
I honestly didn’t expect them to feel so clean since I had so much build up. Gary was fantastic!
I learned later that Dr. Yamada is a renowned oral surgeon. This isn’t a typical dental mill focusing more on quantity over quality. I am really glad that I have found this place!

Dr. Yamada is one of the best that I have been to; always personable and caring. His staff is always courteous and looking towards your comfort. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Yamada is great! He has performed a tooth extraction, and did one implant for me. The tooth was gently removed with just local anesthetic, he took his time and the tooth came out in 2 perfect halves, with absolutely no bone loss. I had another tooth extracted by Barry Johnsin a year or so earlier and what a difference! Johnsin puts you totally out and was in such a rush it seemed as if he took it out with a jackhammer. The site also became infected AND I needed a bone graft because so much was removed when he tore out the tooth. So Dr Yamada did a bone graft and then, later, an implant. He is very gentle-​even his lidocaine numbing injections don’t hurt!
I highly recommend this guy!

First off I have not had Dr. Yamada as my dentist, I had Dr. Lo, his partner. My experience with Dr. Lo has been 5 stars! I came in with a problematic situation in which I had an implant procedure that commenced 5 years ago in NJ but the guy who was working on it retired so I never finished and then I moved to LA and found Dr. Lo. He was VERY thorough, detail oriented and whenever I had a question he literally grabbed a piece of paper and drew it out to explain. During the actual procedures he kept on checking in and taking my blood pressure to make sure I was okay. Also, I’ve had THE best cleaning done at IPI! I forgot the lady’s name but the one that is there on Thursdays. I had such an amazing experience with the cleaning. All around great customer service, bedside manner and professionalism.
