Love this dentist office and so does my entire family!

I’ve had a long fear of going to the dentist, but Dr Pearson and his associates have eased all my concerns! The office is very calming, everyone is incredibly friendly and professional and my comfort was their number one concern. A great local practice!

Dr Pearson is hands down a professional and a great Dr. His practice is and office is comfortable, caring, friendly and will have you leaving with a bright smile. 2 thumbs up for this dental office and extremely kind staff.

Should have wrote this review from my very first visit in 2012. But after this last visit I knew it must be done. I was VERY fearful of the dentist. I hadn’t seen one for seven years. My very first visit was nerve wrecking but his lodge feel office is very welcoming. His assistant was very nice, made me laugh and was very understanding of my fear. Once Dr. Pearson stepped into the room my nerves were clamed. He is a great Dentist. Explained the work that was needed and gave me lots of options unlike my previous experiences. The office staff had lots of knowledge about my insurance coverage and were able to give me a quote of the work needed. His prices are reasonable and the office even offered the option of Care Credit which was great since I have a tight budget. Recently had a crown done with NO pain. YES PEOPLE I SAID NO PAIN. I didn’t even get a SHOT. He has this new device that gives the novocaine with no shot. I could not believe it. Since coming to Dr. Pearson I have brought the rest of my family, husband and kids ages 16,10,5 and now my 2 year old. We have found our Dentist and will be seeing Dr. Pearson for many years to come.

Went to a new dentist and found out that I’d had cavities (small) for probably a year– I’d complained of tooth pain, he said it was nothing… so I figured it was age and started using Sensodyne!
The new dentist couldn’t believe he’d missed the cavities. Dr. Pearson is a nice guy, but he basically just hangs out w/​the office staff and chats if he’s in, he rarely does an exam — I had to beg him to look at my teeth! Very unusual style.

I’ve been going to Dr. Pearson for quite a few years. I love his woodsy-​themed office and the friendly staff. I never feel as if he is pushing for any services that you don’t need. I think he is a very honest and trustworthy dentist. I even switched my two daughters over from their pediatric dentist to Dr. Pearson and my girls loved him.

Went to Dr. Pearson based on his great reviews here and was not disappointed. He does your first cleaning himself which I thought was a really nice touch. He explained everything that he was looking for as he examined my teeth and I never felt like he was trying to sell me on anything. Unlike most dental offices, he doesn’t have ads for veneers and stuff everywhere.
It’s a relaxing, nice atmosphere with very friendly staff. They did a thorough job and I left very pleased.

Now I don’t like to go to the dentist — I had bad experiences growing up when I told this to Dr Pearson’s staff they were reassuring and made sure to let Dr. Pearson know my concerns and possible phobia:)
Dr Pearson was great at explaining what was going to happen and helped address my concerns. He took such good care of my teeth. I have a really busy schedule and I love that his staff calls me when there are cancellations for cleanings so when I free I can just run in. I really liked the woman who does my cleaning.
Overall great experience.

My search for the perfect dentist is over!
I’ve been to numerous dentists in the last few years trying to find one who was (1) honest, (2) ethical, (3) not going to sell me needless services or products, or (4) screw up my teeth.
I don’t have many issues with my teeth and I mostly go to the dentist for cleanings and the occasional filing. However, before being recommended to Dr. Pearson, the previous dentists I had would, without fail, find something «wrong» with my teeth and try to sell me some sort of service or product. One dentist recommended I have a filing replaced on a tooth that was never bothersome. I trusted him and went for the procedure and was left with a sensitive tooth that ultimately needed a root canal, which he offered to do too. I finally gave up on dentists and relegated the profession to one comprised mostly of unethical salesman looking to make money off trusting individuals. I recognize my over-​generalization but I had paid too much money and trusted one too many dentists only to be taken advantage of to put aside my bias.
That was until a friend highly recommended Dr. Pearson. Despite my disdain for dentists, I like having my teeth cleaned and realized I needed a dentist so I started asking those I trusted for a referral. Dr. Pearson’s name came up and I made an appointment. I have now seen him three times.
To start, the office staff is incredibly professional and courteous and you never leave feeling like just another patient. Also, the office is well-​manged and you’re not left waiting to see the doc long after your appointment time. I appreciate this respect for my time, which many healthcare providers fail to observe.
Dr. Pearson himself is just incredible. He’s kind, gentle, ethical and honest. He doesn’t try to sell you needless products or services. I go in for a cleaning and leave with only an appoint for my next one. He is also honest in his evaluation and options and he takes the time to carefully explain things and encourages questions. He overall demeanor is positive and he is incredibly respectful – he took the time to listen to my concern about pain and was never once dismissive.
Without hesitation I fully recommend Dr. Pearson. I just wish I had found him sooner.

We LOVE Dr Todd! He has been our family dentist for the past 9 years. My two children, ages 9 and 14 actually look forward to going to the dentist. They have both been seeing him since they were little and my husband who is not a big fan of going to the dentist always feels comfortable with Dr. Todd. He provides a very calm and inviting atmosphere with large screen TVs of nature photos in the waiting room and welcoming staff. He is very thorough in his explanations of treatment plans he is recommending, but always leaves it up to us as to what course of action we choose to take at the time. His work is impeccabIe! We would recommend him without hesitation to both adults and children

I have been seeing Dr Pearson for more than 10 +years. He always explains what he is going to do before hand and does excellent work. I highly recommend him as a dentist, and his staff is also top notch. My daughters commute in from SF to have him as their dentist as well.

Dr Pearson inherited me when the older dentists in this practice retired.
So I’ve been seeing him form 5+ years. Always excellent service, great quality work and a very affable chap. All the support staff is equally excellent – very well organized. The knotty pine lodge décor is a hoot!

Wow — –Only two ratings?
Has the East Bay gone mad?
OK — -here is my story.
I have been seeing Dr. Pearson for about four years now. Originally I came to him because he was local and my wife and I lived in Lafayette. He came well recommended by my sister in law who takes all her kids there and lives in Orinda.
Anyway — I now live in San Francisco — and guess what? I still see Dr. Pearson because in my estimation he is the best !!!
Accolades to his staff who always get me an appt — and always have the insurance issues worked out before I have to even ask.
Bottom line, I’m a VP at a local area hospital and I interact with all types of clinicians every day. I think the key to what makes Dr. Pearson so great are his skills — and the way he communicates. He communicates each and every step of a procedure. He also «listens» to my concerns — -and truly seems to take same to heart.
If you are searching for a dentist — stop your search. Here is the best !!

Dr. Pearson is an excellent dentist. I do not like going to medical office in general, but Dr. Pearson and his staff have made my visits there somewhat enjoyable. If you are new to the area and need a new dentist, give Dr. Pearson a try.

Been going to him for years. And, I was scared of dentists from horrible past experiences with other dentists. He is up on all the latest technology and treatments. Better to have a dentist that is up to speed than one who graduated from school so long ago he/​she doesn’t know about the best tools or practices. He has ‘dentist’ hands’ and is very gentle although he is a big guy! I recommend him! 2 thumbs up! Cool office space;very relaxing. D. Wilson
