  • “I had the most amazing dental experience. Dr. Otomo-Corgel and her entire staff. From the time I entered the office until I left, i felt supported and enlightened about my dental process. To top it off, Dr. Otomo and Esmeralda were so fun and personable! There are very few times when I say I’m ready to see the dentist, but this is one of those times! Great dentistry!” Roshan Kindred, 5 out of 5 stars, Google review
  • “Dr. Otomo is great! Clear, concise, and warm and like an old friend. She was recommended by another dental office because of her expertise.....and that expertise shows in every respect, including her wonderful personality.” Ashley Morrison, 5 out of 5 stars, Google review
  • “Dr. Otomo and her team are fantastic - It's nice to be able to relax in the chair knowing they will be efficient, thorough and painless!” Joseph Ungoco, 5 out of 5 stars, Google review
  • “I've had nothing but positive, informative and excellent encounters with Dr. Otomo over the years. She recently extracted a number of teeth and completed several bone grafts to support future dental implants. By following her recommended treatment plan and routine maintenance procedures, I've experienced an improvement in my overall health and sense of well-being. I could not have chosen a more experienced, kind and caring dental health professional and support team to help me experience the confidence that comes with good oral health.” Donetia Meshack, 5 out of 5 stars, Google review
  • “Dr. Otomo was recommended by a patient whose smile I admired. She gave glowing review and I came in. I suffered extensive damage to my gums and teeth because of incompetent prior dentist. So,fear and apprehension were looming large.. Dr. Otomo is brilliant, patient and generous when expliaing procedures. I had deep frontal gum restructuring and she did magnificent job. Top shelf professional,prompt and courteous staff. I am very pleased with her dental work.Exceptional!” Valencia Shelton, 5 out of 5 stars, Google review
  • “When I found out that I needed to have my first tooth extracted and an implant inserted in its place, I was admittedly not enthused about the experience. The idea of a tooth that had been with me for nearly 50 years being yanked from my head was hardly something to celebrate. However, from the very beginning of the process the team at Perio Implant Health Professionals was incredibly kind and welcoming. They were able to schedule me within a few days of my primary dentist's tooth removal recommendation, which was greatly appreciated. They sent me a collection of digital forms that I completed before my arrival, which expedited the entire consultation process. They were also kind enough to answer several questions that I had over the phone before I arrived. Once I was inside the calming offices the actual evaluation and extraction process was just as streamlined as my initial efforts to set the appointment and prepare for it. Dr. Rodriguez was one of the kindest people I've ever met in the medical community. His associate, Daniel, was also fantastic. Daniel has been working in the office for several decades, which was evident based on his exceptional skills and demeanor. Dr. Rodriguez took the time to make sure I felt comfortable about the entire extraction and implant process. He answered every question that I could think of and was able to alleviate any of my concerns about the in-office process as well as the at-home self care that I'd need to do after the tooth was removed. He even dealt with an unexpected "dental emergency" in another office while I was there and he was back so quickly I could barely tell he was gone. He and Daniel made sure I was comfortable and aware of everything that unfolded while I was in the chair. They made certain that my gums were numb and continued to make sure I wasn't in any pain throughout the extraction/implant process. Dr. Rodriguez utilized breathing suggestions during his work to keep me relaxed while the drilling unfolded. It's definitely not a procedure that I'd want someone to have to go through, but if you must have a tooth removed then I'd say that Dr. Rodriguez and Daniel might be the two best doctors for the job in all of Los Angeles, if not the world. The X-Ray and imaging equipment was also state of the art and showed me EXACTLY where the implant was going down to the millimeter before the work was even started. Dr. Rodridguez even called me the next day to make sure that everything was going to plan. I have my post-op follow-up visit in two weeks and I'm looking forward to seeing this collection of kind and thoughtful people again. Ashley at the front desk was even willing to help me if I had any issues with my parking inside the building. I guess this incredibly long review is meant to say, I wasn't excited in the least about a tooth being removed, but the excellent folks at Perio Implant Health Professionals turned the whole experience into a very positive one. Ideally I won't have to have a tooth extracted for another 50 years, but if I do, I know exactly where I'm going.” Ethan Antonucci, 5 out of 5 stars, Google review
  • “Dr. Rodriguez and staff were very professional and courteous in the two hour procedure. I was told what was happening every step of the way and if I was in pain, to let them know. I would highly recommend Perio Implant if you have concerns about your teeth.” Alicia Nakata, 5 out of 5 stars, Google review
  • “If you are looking for the best periodontist in Los Angeles, look no further than Dr. Otomo. Her genuine warmth and caring for her patience, together with her expertise and dedication to her field (ask her how many prestigious dental boards she sits on!) quite literally put her in a category by herself. I (and my gums!) are so thankful that my dentist referred me to Dr. Otomo!” Paul Margolis, 5 out of 5 stars, Google review
