Patients describe thorough explanations, a friendly “judgment-free” vibe, and fast help for urgent needs (including same-day or squeeze-in visits when possible). Families appreciate that the doctor discusses options—whether it’s saving a tooth with a re-treatment, placing a crown that looks natural, or planning an implant later. Several reviews also note a whole-health mindset: the team connects oral health with overall well-being and offers practical coaching that’s easy to follow at home. The office is welcoming, the staff attentive, and many newcomers say dental anxiety drops the moment they sit down.

Importantly for budget-minded Angelenos, multiple patients mention fair pricing and acceptance of major plans (including Medi-Cal/Health Net), which makes sticking to preventive care—and handling surprises—far easier.

Reviews

“Referred by family and now we won’t go anywhere else. Dr. Ana handled a root canal and replaced a crown perfectly—thorough, upbeat, and professional every step of the way.”
“Over the past year she worked with me to get my teeth exactly how I wanted. She truly cares—attentive, patient, and results-driven. I’m grateful.”
“I’ve come here for 10+ years. She explains everything in plain language and the staff makes scheduling easy. I’ve sent five friends already—10/10.”
“Walked in anxious; left relieved. The team is kind, the office welcoming, and the doctor fast and efficient. She even accepts my Medi-Cal (Health Net). I actually look forward to coming back.”
“I had a difficult extraction experience and didn’t feel fully numb. I also disagreed with the original treatment plan. If you’re nervous, request extra time to review options and numbing approaches during the consult.”

Local insight for first-timers: If a big event is coming (graduation, photos, travel), ask about timeline-friendly options like same-day relief, temporary fixes, or staged treatment. Bring your insurance card (or budget goals) and the team will map the most efficient plan—whether that’s a preventive refresh, a crown that blends seamlessly, or saving a tooth you thought was “done.” Here, comfort and clarity lead the way, so patients leave with healthier smiles—and a plan that fits real life.
