Wonderful experience. Not the type of thing one usually says with enthusiasm about dental work. My mother is elderly and has had several strokes. Great care was given to her. Extensive work completed without a hitch. Everyone is kind, considerate, patient and well trained. The dentists are the best. And, prices are reasonable. That's a grand slam. We recommend this group with 10 stars!
Glendale, CA
This is an awesome place. Dr. David is professional yet gets to know you on a personal level which makes you feel comfortable. They have modern tools and approaches which allow for fast and easy procedures. I just had one of two implants placed and I am happy with the results. I have recommended family and they are happy with their results too. Awesome place :)
Los Angeles, CA
This office is a gem. I've been coming here for years and always leave happy. Everyone there is amazing, the doctors and staff. They've done all types of treatment on me and now I'm in braces! I was always afraid of dentists before, I even would neglect a problem unless it really was bothering me. I am never afraid any more and make my regular six-month appointments. Definitely go here!
Westchester, CA
For the first time, I can actually say I feel comfortable going to the dentist haha Dr. David is awesome very friendly and professional along with the staff. I have got my wisdom teeth removed and an implant procedure both have been successful. Dr. David explains each procedure step by step making the patient feel at ease. Upon entering the staff makes you feel welcomed and the best part about it no long wait periods to be attended. I am glad my parents referred me to this place I would definitely recommend it :)
Los Angeles, CA
I'm glad I did my research this time when it came to which dentistry to go with. Dr. Sam. was very straightforward with me About what work I needed and clearly did not make it about $. Evelyn was very friendly and helpful as well when I called with more questions later. And the office environment was lovely in general (which helped put me at ease that much more)! This is honestly the most I've trusted a dentistry in a long time and even though I'm moving out of state I will be trying my best to keep the same dentist by scheduling visits around my trips back home.
