Pena Eric M, DDS

Dr. Peña has been my dentist for 3 yrs and OMG him and his staff are amazing! Of course they know me very well I love them and they love me! LOL I vist him yearly for cleaning checkups and whatever needs to be done. Its weird how I look forward to seeing my dentist unlike others! He makes me feel very comfortable and never scared of the drills and needles. He’s a top notch dentist! Love all of you guys there Teresa, Tess, Dawn, Lisa and Dr. Peña! See you soon!

We Unilocalers eat so much that it’s only natural we take the best care of our chompers right?!!
The dental office is located in a shady corner and right beside a chucky cheese. really?! But don’t let the outside fool you, Dr Pena is a gadget freak and this clinic is very high tech! Almost every visit here, He will be showing me a new machine or technique he recently acquired.
Walk in the door and the first thing you notice is this place is impeccably clean! just what you expect from a medical facility. Each bay/​station has its own computer screen and TV aside from the usual industrial drilling equipment. You can choose to watch Matt Damon’s latest movie Hereafter instead of novacaine to put you to sleep.
The staff is friendly and exude a family type vibe, heck they even try and feed me lunch while waiting. Every person here is competent and accommodating, so much so that I wouldn’t hesitate to bring kids here. Be confident none of them will suffer a traumatic dentist experience we read so much about. They may even start liking going to the dentist especially if you take them to chucky cheese afterwards. Not that that’s where I go after my appointments. :p

I like our previous dentist but I had to transfer and search for a dentist that accepts our insurance near our place as it has been a hassle to travel 20+ miles just to see him. A family friend recommended Dr. Pena which is still far but only around 10 miles from where we live. He has a lot of patients and now I know why they keep coming back. He has a pleasant demeanor and is very much skilled at what he is doing. He always explains the procedure before doing it and gives professional advice if the procedures are needed or not. Aside from that, his staff is very friendly and accomodating. I also like that they are flexible in terms of finances and that they will inform you of any co-​pay before moving on to do a procedure. His clinic is located in a strip of stores and shops in Reseda Blvd. that has ample parking space. I could have given 5 stars if not for some instances of 30 – 45 min waiting times inspite of the appt. which they are very apologetic. His clinic also has a small receiving area which can be a bummer if there are a lot of patients as we would sometimes wait standing up. Not really comfortable when you have children in tow. This, however, would not happen very often as the turnover of patients is fast. Wish they could get a bigger clinic though. Aside from these trivial drawbacks, Dr. Pena is a keeper and will definitely be recommended.
