We had a horrible experience with this dentist. Our 6yo daughter just needed a regular check up and x-rays. He commented (more than once) on her being "behind in Many ways". Our daughter has a learning delay and speech trouble. She was well behaved and not even nervous. As she was trying to engage with him, he spoke to her in such a rude tone. It was highly inappropriate.

I am so lucky that I found Dr. Eric Larson! He did a root canal and crown without any pain. I was so scared before my first visit because of the words root canal, but Dr. Eric is so kind and explained the procedure, taking his time so I was comfortable. I've had periodic cleanings in his office since then and his Hygienists are the best. Thorough and gentle, a tough combination to find together!

My experience with Mr (I don not consider him a dentist) Eric Larson was terrible from the very beginning. Their office is very old, not updated and not clean. The lamp above my chair was disgustingly dirty. The machine to develop my xrays was broken so I had to come back to get that again. This should've been a sign for what was to come. I had a few cavities and scheduled to come back to get those fixed. He was very aggressive with my mouth, teeth, gums. I have never been in so much pain from a visit. A few times i made moans because of the pain and he was very rude ..i responded "because it hurts" . He made my gums bleed and tore them apart. A item used was stuck for awhile and he tried to get it out. I dont believe he ever did. The assistant made cringes as he did this. It was very painful. He did, finally, get it out (the wood piece), yet the tip was missing. He took XRays to check (i later found out that this was stupid on his part because only bone shows up on xrays..hmm). Finally after the brutal, aggressive, rude manor man supposibly "fixed" my teeth I was in plenty of pain for atleast 1-2 weeks. My gums were swollen, pain-very much so, sensitivity at its best and it was not getting any better. NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL..

About Hygienist: I went back because of this pain, they did a decomposite,to redo the one tooth. He did say that he did find "debris". Hmm was it maybe the tip of the wood? hmm not a smart kind man. I do not like how he handled me or the words. For the discomfort I received 2 5$ dollar larry h miller gift cards. so kind (sarcastic just a lil). My teeth have never felt the same. They are very sensitive, many problems ever since he "fixed" my teeth. I would not go to him ever again even if someone paid me. donot go to him. Do not trust him with your teeth. He needs to go back to dental school and learn many lessons!!! The Hygenist(s). YOU ARE WONDERFUL! IM SORRY YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR SUCH A TERRIBLE MAN!

Eric Larsen dental office rocks! I have been to lots of dentist before finding Dr. Larsen by accident. I drive 30 miles to go to his office that is how much it's worth to me. He cares about the patients, the staff is very nice, and truly friendly. Hygienist are paid well and never leave, plus they are nice and care about your teeth. I have never felt like a number or just a job to them. Truly care about my teeth. They are very well priced, a little cheaper then most actually. Now here is the only caveat, their office is not in a new building, it's quite old actually. But Dr. Larsen doesn't pay huge rent it he is able to operate more effectively and it shows in his patient care. The patients are mostly white collar workers, and everyone is very cool while waiting. No Crack Heads! Anyway, Dr. larsen has a loyal clientele for one reason. He knows his stuff and actually cares. So conclusion, if you want the best tooth care and can get past an old building this is the place. If you are too cool to go there, good luck with you overpriced dr. Mctooth just trying to get you out of his office so he can pay his rent.

I am disgusted with the lack of ethics shown by this dentist. My wife was told she should have her wisdom teeth removed; X-rays were taken. Dr. Eric Larson removed three of them and then called me to tell me I need to take my wife to an oral surgeon to get the last one removed. I recently looked at the X-ray with Dr. Eric Larson. He agreed that it was evident on the x-ray that the tooth he didn't remove was problematic. When I asked him why he didn't try to remove that one first, he said he "went after the easy ones first." I pointed out that if he had tried first to remove the one that he knew beforehand was going to be difficult, I wouldn't have had to drive my wife to the oral surgeon with three gaping, bleeding holes in her mouth. His response was, "Well, that's what happened." There was no apology, no consideration that he might consider a different course of action in the future. Just, "Well, that's what happened." I realize that had Dr. Eric Larson tried to remove the difficult tooth first, he wouldn't have been able to charge as much money. I am not saying that was why he chose the course of action he took, but neither I nor my family will use his services in the future.

About Hygienist: Diana is wonderful! I always felt that she paid extra attention to both me and my son; she wasn't just going through the motions. I will miss her very much.

He was a great doctor. I felt very comfortable going in there. He answered all my questions and addressed everything that had to be done. I had a root canal and well as a crown and felt nothing. Great Doctor!

I have only ever had to have one crown put on. The crown cracked and Dr. Larson replaced it and put a new one on scheduling early appointments for me to get it done and didn't charge me a thing for the replacement. He is very friendly and kind and isn't imposing of money making additions to your smile. He works straight forwardly and to get you the best results with least amount of effort.

About Hygienist: there is one hygienist that seems to be a little grumpier and it reflects in her gentleness, but I have loved all the other hygienists I have met with in his office. They have been super friendly and gentle and it has been a great experience.

I love Dr. Larson and his staff! His fees are reasonable, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to arrange financing, process my insurance, and help me feel comfortable. I am a person who is normally very nervous at the dentist but Dr. Larson took the time to help me be comfortable, was very gentle and helped me be relaxed, without any sedation! I had always been concious of my crooked teeth when I smiled, but after Dr. Larson placed 6 veneers I smile all the time to show them off. Dr. Eric Larson turned what used to be a scary unpleasant experience into one I actually looked forward to.
