Dr. Armen is the best! He is so kind and patient. I really want to share my wonderful experience with this dental office because it was fabulous from start to finish and quite unexpected to be honest. This was my first time coming to this office and I was a bit nervous because I have had not so good experiences with dental offices persuading me that I needed dental procedures that I didn’t need and this is not what happened here. Upon arrival I was greeted by a very polite young lady that showed me the paperwork that needed completing. It was about 2-3 minutes and I was whisked into the X-ray/exam room. The lady taking my X-rays was super gentle and Dr. Armen was extremely knowledgeable about what to expect and the procedure I needed moving forward. I do not currently have dental insurance, but Leslie, which happens to have the same name as me, is absolutely amazing and very professional. She was the highlight of my visit for sure. Unlike other dental offices, she truly cares and she sees me, not the dollar signs. I appreciated that the most. Leslie worked the numbers to where she could give me a discount rate and worked out an affordable payment plan. I am over 60 and have had a lot of dental work done in the past by different dentist and this was a much different experience I love this place so very much and thank you to ALL of the staff for making me feel so special. You are all awesome!

This was my first visit to the office. My initial contact with the front desk crew was very pleasant and welcoming. I was seen within 5 minutes of entering the office. My hygienist ( Im horrible with names, I apologize)was extremely nice and spent a great deal of time educating me on my dental issues and recommendations to a better oral health. Dr. Sanaz was nice and I am very excited to have him take of me through this process of getting my teeth in a healthy beautiful state. Vanessa my treatment coordinator ended my visit on a positive note. She was also an extremely helpful and very nice. My dental issues will be a long process, but I am extremely happy this is the team I get to work with to a road to healthy oral hygiene. Thank you Nicole

I cannot recommend Dr. Sanaz Yousefi and the entire team at Gardena Dental Group highly enough! After an accident left me with chipped teeth, I was anxious about the outcome, but Dr. Yousefi worked her magic to not only match the color perfectly but also restore them so beautifully that no one can tell they were ever damaged. The result was truly amazing! Additionally, their responsiveness in an emergency was exceptional. Despite the urgency of my situation, they scheduled me on the same day, which was a huge relief. The entire process was smooth, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and kind throughout. Thank you, Dr. Yousefi and Gardena Dental Group, for your excellent care and kindness. It's clear you all genuinely care about your patients, and it shows in every interaction. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch dental care!

My daughters love going to the dentist! Tatiana is always so kind and patient with my 9 year old who could get a little nervous while getting her X-rays. Tatiana takes the time to explain that it’s only a picture and it won’t hurt. We always look forward to seeing all the friendly faces at this dental office! :) I need to edit my review. My daughters are patients here, but I’ve recently had to go in for a couple of appointments for my self and let me say that I’m not afraid of the dentist anymore 😂 I saw Dr. Nathan and he was soooo incredibly kind and caring did not feel him numbing me at all. He listened to all my concerns and took care of what I needed! Amazing bedside manner! That’s a huge plus for me. His assistant Tatiana was also amazing she had everything ready for the doctor, she explained everything step by step which made me feel very comfortable while sitting on the chair with my mouth wide open. I also needed a deep cleaning and the hygienist Jenny was so detailed and patient with working with me, really good bedside manner. She kept asking if I needed a break and making sure I was still numb. My teeth feel nice and clean now! Amazing experience from everyone!!! Thank you Gardena Dental Group.

I was in Search of a trustworthy dental office so I decided to go in for a free ortho and general dentistry consult with Gardena Dental Group. Their customer service and hospitality was AMAZING. From the wonderful ladies in the front desk, to the back dental assistants & manager too. They’re the best. Maria did so well with helping me understand the ortho / braces process. Karina was so gentle and caring with the general x-rays and the manager Leslie was so re-assuring and accommodating when explaining the break down of everything for my treatment plans. Safe to say, I start my treatment soon and feel so confident that I chose the right place. I would definitely recommend this dental office to anyone who is looking for a trust worth care plan.
