  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I've been a patient at this office for a while now. Its always a pleasant visit. The staff is really helpful and informative. I was greeted by the receptionist Nayeli with a welcoming smile. The Dr was very professional and explained the process. I was really nervous/anxious, but Paulina and the Dr were both very helpful. They made me feel calm and relaxed by the time they started working on me. They were gentle and gave me advice on how to relax my jaw for less pain. The hygenist LaRhonda is friendly and thorough everytime. Jacky and Angelica helped me check out they explained my insurance benefits and went over the costs thoroughly. It is definitely a place worth driving long distance for. I trust them, they are honest and anwer all my questions. Thank you Gardena Dental Group Staff!!!” — Nelly
  • 4 out of 5 stars. “I really like coming here so I was very hesitant to give four starts instead of five. The reason I took off a star is that, for several appointments now, the dentist that checked my teeth barely looked. And the last one didn't look at all. I could have specified each time that I would prefer a more thorough look but it is a different dentist each time. I'm not sure if it'll stick. Either way, I will keep coming back but I hope that improves in the future. I do like the staff a lot. They're always friendly. I otherwise have no complaints.” — Sarah

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” — Nicole

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “Came in for the first time to this office for an exam. The office inside is nice and clean, with smiling faces from the staff all around. As they left me in the room to await my exam they were kind enough to give me the remote to watch some Netflix. For the exam I had Dr. Saz checking my teeth and taking pictures. He took the time to explain everything as he went through the x-rays and pictures. He was very kind and patient, and as someone who has anxiety when going to dentist, it was definitely appreciated. Before leaving, he made sure to ask if I had any questions and left me with a nice little dental traveling kit. Afterward, Jessica, the patient care coordinator, broke down my treatment plan and explained the associated costs and what my insurance was covered. It helps having someone like Jessica explain it all, because otherwise I'd be lost. She was very thorough and left me prepared for my next appointments.” — James

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “Probably one of the most well-rounded dental experiences I’ve had; it was super easy to book my first exam, the waiting room and exam rooms are gorgeous, LITERALLY everyone is warm and friendly; including the Doctors; and my exam was very thorough. After my exam a very patient young lady sat down with me, answered all of my questions, helped make a treatment plan that fit my schedule and my benefits and gave me a cute goodie bag with my next appointment scheduled. I think this office is great for anyone but especially those who may have anxiety surrounding the dentist because they truly make it a comfortable experience.” — Doe

  • 5 out of 5 stars. “I have my been going to Gardena Dental Group for a few years now. I’ve gone to many different dental offices in the past.
