I have seen 4+ dentists over the past 10 years since I've moved around a lot (I'm a doctor in training - med school, residency, fellowship). Dr. Larsen is easily my favorite of all of them. He is pleasant, professional, and seems technically skilled. If I still lived in San Diego, I'd have undoubtedly remained under his care.
The fact that the rest of his staff is equally excellent - his hygienist included - is a definite plus.
