Lawson, James R DDS

I have been a patient of Dr. Lawson's for nearly 20 years. My entire family goes to the office. I'm not the only long term family of clients. His staff have been with him at least as long as I have, if not longer. I can honestly say it's the BEST office in North County. You will struggle to find such a cohesive, professional, competent, caring team. Dr. Lawson has come in on the weekends several times for family emergencies, whether a kid fell off a bike, or my husband was going to be traveling the next week. He's come in for a child that wasn't his current patient! My children, although grown, STILL come home for their dental appointments.....and the office always fits them in. Customer for life!

Dr. Lawson does an incredible job! Him and his staff are wonderful and extremely friendly. My family and I have been going to him for years and we’ve never had a bad experience.

I've learned about Dr. Lawson's office through the word of mouth from co-workers who have been his patients for several years. Having had quite sad encounters with various practitioners in New York and California, I was a bit sceptical to try another dentist. However, after experiencing Dr. Lawson's initial visit I was very pleased with his service and willing to continue the treatment.

Dr. Lawson is very thorough, meticulous, and extremely good at his work. His first exam is comprehensive and it includes cancer screening which is not a common practice among dentists, in general. He also uses loupes (not common) and an intraoral camera (not common) to diagnose patients. Dr. Lawson appears as an honest man with a patient's best interest in mind. He presented a treatment plan with options to help me set the priorities and prepare financially for future modalities.

Some may say that his prices might seem a bit elevated. But I say, after doing the math - it's a win-win situation. I have spent several thousand dollars on dentists whose work Dr. Lawson had to fix or remove. I chose the other dentists based on a price tag - not their skills, knowledge, and office technology - a not-a-good idea after all.

I am also pleased with Dr. Lawson's office staff, especially his assistant, dental hygienist, and office manager. These ladies are efficient and great at their work.

All in all, I highly recommend Dr. Lawson's dental services. In my opinion, based on 15 years of experience with dentists on the East and West Coasts, Dr. Lawson is one of the best clinicians in the field of general and cosmetic dentistry.

My life-long fear of Dentists is now gone. Thank you Dr. Lawson!
