Lecia Harmer, DDS,MS

My kids absolutely adore Dr. Harmer! She has the sweetest approach with kids and makes going to the dentist a treat! My kids started going to her at the age of 2 — she introduced dentistry to them in a way that they were never scared to go. My son had a cavity at the age of 5 and she was so wonderful that he never even noticed that she had put a needle in his mouth. I can’t say enough good and Dr. Harmer — amazing dentist and person!!! We followed her to her new office and the office and staff couldn’t be better. It’s esthetically so pleasing — bright, clean and light — with cute décor and the staff is all sweet and always smiling. Highly recommend!!!

This is going to sound repetitive but Dr. Harmer is THE dentist to go to for your kids dental needs. Whether its a routine cleaning or a tooth extraction, she is always friendly, compassionate and calming to her young patients. Kids can watch videos on overhead tv’s while in the hot seat and select a toy when all is done. They even validate your parking. First class all the way!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Lecia! She makes going to the dentist with a 4 year old a breeze!

Compassion, kindness, excellence in practice. These are just a few of the words that come to mind to describe Dr. Lecia Harmer’s exquisite work. She is a CHILD WHISPERER for kids with fear of dental procedures. Right before my eyes (yes, I was allowed to stay right there the whole time), she made a really difficult procedure on my 8-​year-​old (massive infection, extraction and cavity filling) feel like FUN to him. He had a great time, seriously, and I’m still in awe. Run, don’t walk, to this dentist before she has no more room for patients. She’s a gem in every way.

Dr. Harmer is truly the best. On a Saturday evening I noticed my daughters face a bit inflamed and just did not look right. I called Dr. Harmer thinking that it may be her tooth. She saw us first thing on Sunday morning. We were lucky; everything turned out good and my daughter has fully recovered from an inflamed salivary gland in her face. Her diagnosis was right on the money and we received the best care possible.

My children are 12 yrs and 5 yrs old. They had such a wonderful experience. I encourage you to take your kids there if they don’t like the dentist and scared. Dr. Harmer and her staff are amazing, and Irene (at the front desk) is so helpful. They will make your kids feel comfortable, and their teeth will be well taken care of!

My kids have been going to Dr Harmer for a few years now and we love her! She and her dental hygienists are so great with the kids. So much so that our kids actually like going to get their teeth cleaned! My son is on the spectrum so I was worried the first time we went, but Dr Harmer was so great with him. She explained everything to him and eased all of his fears and now he has no problem going to the dentist.
The new office is fantastic. There are two dental chairs and a couch for parents all in the same room so the parents can stay and be with their kids during cleanings. I highly recommend bringing your kids here!

Honestly taking my 21 mth old to any doctor always ends up to be a painful stressful experience… for both of us. NOT the case with Dr Harmer & her entire office staff. This was the best doctor visit to date. So pleasant. The waiting room had toys for her to dive into while we waited… which was all of 2 minutes. Unheard of in the medical/​dental profession. Not here! Not one tear was shed. My daughter was actually happy! Dr Harmer made my daughter feel at ease immediately & continued to the entire visit. I feel lucky to have found this place & actually look forward to our next visit in 6 months & plan to stay with Dr Harmer until she kicks us out bc my daughter is too old. I also learned a great deal about how to keep her teeth healthy, which was a bonus for me. And she got to pick out a good girl toy at the end — bonus for her! All in all — best ever.

Dr. Harmer is a gem. Gentle, kind, compassionate, and a great dentist. My kids ask to see her long before it’s time for their 6 month checkup. We followed her to her new office as she’s made going to the dentist a breeze. Thank you Dr. Harmer.

Dr. Harmer is the best pediatric dentist ever! She is very gentle and soft spoken she does an amazing job at letting your kids know exactly what she will be doing and ensures them it will not hurt. She has now moved to her own private practice which is very nice and with the latest technology! I do not trust anyone else with my children’s teeth!

Dr. Lecia Harmer is THE BEST! We recently followed her to her new office because I couldn’t imagine taking my kids to see anyone else. She is clearly born to work with children – her patience, her kind voice and demeanor, how she interacts with kids, parents and her staff are just some of the reasons you shouldn’t hesitate to go to her! She is so knowledgeable and explains everything to the kids in a way they can understand and makes it the opposite of a scary experience. I honestly wish she took adults as patients because I would see her, too!

Lecia Harmer is an incredible human being and dentist. She truly cares about children. I feel like she is an angel from God to children.
My son, Max, is so lucky to have a Pediatric Dentist like Lecia.
We have no fears at all, and we trust her completely.
You can tell she cares and does what is right for children. I am a UCLA medical doctor, and she is professional, kind, ethical, diligent, intelligent, and thorough.
We are lucky to have her protecting all of our childrens dental health here in Encino.

Today was my son’s first visit to the dentist and I am pleased to say that he had such a positive experience!!! I would highly recommend this dentist as she was so sweet, patient and makes sure that her patients feel comfortable! :)

Their are people who are born to work with Children — Dr. Harmer is one of them. She is so kind, sweet and patient with them.
I’ve taken both of my children (8 & 9) to her for years and she has made every visit a pleasure.
Thanks to her — we have no fears of going to the dentist in our family — my children remind ME when it’s time for them to go see her.

I have two kids (5 — 8) who actually get excited to go to the dentist! Unbelievable! Dr. Lecia Harmer is extraordinary. She exhibits patience, kindness, and a thoroughness that takes any hesitation out of a pediatric dental visit. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. The entire office team is spectacular, they always explains everything they are doing for the visit. Seek her out, I swear you will not be disappointed!

Excellent Dentist. She really connects with the children and makes the experience positive and pleasant. Superb bedside manner.

She is wonderful and so is her staff!!! My kids felt super comfortable with her and she did not rush us at all! She explained everything and even sat with us for a while after she was done!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

We just got referred, so far I’ve been there 2 times for both of my kids & she is amazing, so happy to find her! Sh respects my time & very professional!

I LOVE Dr. Harmer for the care and patience she shows her little patients. Been to several pediatric dentists (4) and then found Dr. Harmer. Thank goodness she’s out there. Haha!
