Still stand by what I wrote over a year ago on Yelp.I feel like when my life is constantly changing having certain things remain stable through my life are really nice to reflect on. One of those is Dr. Hashimotos office.Ive been here a handful of times this new year for jaw issues that hes been working on with me. One of the reasons why I will always suggest Dr. Hashimoto is because of how methodical he is in explaining what hes doing. He walks you through every procedure no matter how big or small.The hygienists here are always lovely, as well as Valerie and Lisa! Lisa is a new face to me at least, but a welcome addition.One example Ill give is a recent one. I have jaw locking thats due from stress/potential clenching at night. I came in for a visit in which Dr. Hashimoto worked my jaws a bit and I ended up having my jaw lock as he was working on my mouth. His concern was so apparent, it was like an automatic switch. He made sure my mouth wasnt opening to wide, he had Alley put a little gauze in my mouth to keep my mouth open without having me attempt to do so myself.Im one of those patients, no matter how uncomfortable I say Im okay because I know I can get through it. This jaw locking was probably my first experience with pain in the seat.It was reassuring to feel his genuine concern in that moment. Sometimes you read horror stories about doctors who act in an unprofessional manner and disregard the comfort of their patients. You wont experience that here. Dr. Hashimoto is witty and engaging. His staff becomes a part of your life in a way. You ask about their kids, ask about the holidays, you exchange stories. Its reassuring and comforting.If youre on the hunt in Sacramento, look no further. I moved down to LA almost three years ago and I still refuse to go anywhere else.
