Ruth K. Kawakami, DDS, MS - San Pedro, California

I really have nothing but good things to say about Ruth’s office and her staff. Everyone is very professional, warm, and accommodating. They have really, and truly exceeded my expectation. We feel like we are taking care of. I wish they could be our regular dentist as well

We found out that our son who is seven years old needs braces from our regular dentist and called several orthodontists. Orthodontists who were referred to us, but they never gave us a call back. I contacted Ruth because she was nearby and everything worked out great. She was very upfront with pricing and she was very very reasonable with her pricing. She also offered zoom because my husband was out of town and I was having a hard time making all of the appointments for the kids.

It turns out that my son needs more devices than just a brace. And this was a very foreign territory for me and my husband, because none of us needed braces before. But the front desk, lady it was more than accommodating and scheduling appointments with us and working out payment plans. I cannot say enough good things about these guys.

Dr Kawakami is one of the best in the industry. Her high level of detail, knowledge, and expertise is why she is one of the best orthodontist in Southern Cal. Her amazing staff makes you feel very comfortable and they exude professionalism along with excellent patient care. From the moment you’re greeted by Beth to her wonderful staff in the treatment rooms, you are their #1 priority, which is why I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for stellar orthodontic treatment. She’s simply the BEST!!

Here, is the absolutely best orthodontist and staff in town. They’ve done a great job with my sons teeth. They’ve help him have a beautiful smile and also have given him great tips on how to care for his teeth during this process. He has also really enjoyed this experience and enjoys the doctor and staff.

Dr Kawakami is great.. staff is wonderful as well. I do not live in San Pedro, but it’s worth the drive. I am on child #2 with Dr Kawakami. I work in the dental field and I have seen the work of her easy cases to the more difficult cases. She is one of the best orthodontist in the South Bay!

The staff & Orthodontist are always very friendly and extremely helpful. They always send reminders and keep true to the appointment time. They keep you informed on what will happen during the appointment and how long it will take as well. Highly recommend!!
