Our story
Care that starts with a conversation
Dr. Marsh opened Larkspur after years of 15-minute appointments at a busy group practice. Here, every new patient gets an hour, and nobody is rushed out of the chair.
You'll see the same hygienist every visit, look at photos of your own teeth on screen, and get a written plan with costs before anything is booked.
- Same hygienist every visit
- Treatment explained with photos
- Clear costs before you commit
Dr. Elena Marsh, DMDFounder

“I put off the dentist for six years out of embarrassment. Nobody lectured me. They just explained a plan and made it happen.”
“The first visit was a full hour and I finally understood my own X-rays. That has never happened before.”
“My kids actually ask when they can go back. The sticker wall and the “tooth counter” do wonders.”
“Booked online at 10pm, seen the next morning for a broken tooth. Painless and the crown was done the same day.”
“Dr. Okafor walked me through my implant in 3D. Calm, precise and genuinely kind.”
“Clear prices before anything starts, and Dana sorted out my insurance in one call. Refreshing.”
