Gardena Family Dental

Great staff and clean facility but they never answer the phone! I’ve been trying to reach them since last week and no luck! I call multiple times a day only to listen to an answering machine. I do not want to drive to the office just to switch an appointment!

I will not be going back to this place. They are uncaring insensitive people. I obtained legal guardianship and custody of my teenage cousin and was getting her checkups. When it came to dental we chose this place. As a legal guardian I am not required to support her financially so she gets medi-​cal, ebt and some other benefits that help for her care.
The dentist mentioned how terrible her teeth are and when I mentioned at 15 and only having been to the dentist 2 times in her life I can understand they would be bad. The dentist continued and said «well do you think it is all her mother’s fault? Brushing could have helped.» Again making my poor teenage cousin who has been through so much already feel guilty and placing the blame on her. She is 15 and yes most 15 year olds learned the importance of brushing. This poor child was raised by her mother (my uncle her father is not really around as he is homeless) and her mother has been battling drugs for many years and instead of teaching her the importance of brushing was either busy finding a new sober living home to live in or getting high. She had her moments of sobriety, but this child is not at fault. This insensitive dentist really made my cousin feel like crap.
By the way she was a very tall white woman with an accent. That’s the particular person who seems to not have any compassion.
Please if you have children. Save them heartache and go somewhere else!!!

Well, that was very nice.
I’d been searching for a dentist for about a month now. My insurance company was giving a lot of referrals but non of them were working out for one reason or another. One turned out to be deep in the Ghetto! Nothing against people that have to live in such places or even the very nice staff that worked there but… it was like something out of a really bad movie. A scary, violent movie.
So…I searched for another week and stumbled on Gardena Family Dental here on Unilocal.I was still worried about what I was going to find after past experiences here in Los Angeles. As you can see by my «Rating», those fears have been crushed by this dental office location, staff, cleanliness and the amount of time the dentist took with me and all my (many) questions.
This was the third dentist I have seen in about six months. The first two insisted I needed surgery, the second one said I had cavities. The dentist I saw today at Gardena Family Dental said that not only did all my teeth look okay but that I looked in great health as well. Now I have the feeling that the first two dentist were looking to make a quick buck and Gardena Family Dental was just calling it as they saw it.
The best things about Gardena Family Dental:
1. Easy to get to.
2. Easy parking.
3, Easy setting appointment and initial paperwork.
4. Short wait to be seen by doctor.
5. Doctor explained clearly and fully, what she found/didn’t find.
6. Doctor answered all of my questions and didn’t rush any part of the examination or consultation.
I definitely will return!

My children have been coming to this dental practice for the past four years. I have always been very pleased with their dental care. They get checkups, cleanings, x-​rays, and sealings each time. So far my 11-​year-​old has no cavities, and neither does my 8 year old. I am trying to get insurance so that I can go to them too! Kind, with a family feel to the office. Not too big, not too small. Just right for a small community

This is the best family dentistry practice around. I am a regular here and I find them to be honest and courteous. Dr. Lana is an excellent dentist, more interested in my health than figuring out how to get the most money out of my treatment! I would recommend this place to anybody, any time.

OMG if this isn’t the best dental practice ever! i stumbled upon this dentist… well I dont remember how, but I did and they have been a blessing. They take many types of insurance including Denti-​Cal, but it is the people that sets this office apart from many others I have frequented.
The place is clean and Myrna the nice lady at the front desk took time to research my insurance (since she had never heard of it) based on the treatment that was recommended, she broke everything down in a clear and concise manner. Christina… the dental assistant is the bomb as well, she is attentive and gentle, and gets the job done weather removing cement, plaque or just doing a regular cleaning. Dr. Lana (the dentist) is a sweet 6 foot Russian goddess! She took time to explain the things we didnt understand and the benefits of going certain routes with treatment. She is bright and makes you feel welcome as she is always smiling. They’re updated tools allow you to see what exactly is going on with your teeth as they explain, which is helpful because you can understand and make sense of it all, instead of feeling like you are being given the run around.
If you are looking for a good FAMILY DENTIST, I highly recommend Gardena Family Dental. We will definitely be long term patients here!
