Gilberto Henriques, DDS

Great. Clean. Very caring.
Every time I see Dr Henricks I have a great experience. Even my little daughter likes going to the dentist now because of him.

I’m giving Gilberto 4 stars.
4 stars for offering amazing service in EVERYTHING – appointment calls and bookings, dental cleaning, teeth retainers, etc.
But that’s where the problem begins.
— 1 star for having a hard time getting a hold of him. Seriously, this guy is a one man show, and every time I call to make an appointment, he’s not there to answer the phone.
So when I first walked into his office and notice that he manages not only all the dental services, but the front desk as well, I was shocked. He should surely have the money to hire at least some receptionist to work secretarial duties, yes?
(Seriously, he’s really the only person in the entire building the both times I’ve been there for my appointments.)
Same thing with the dental cleaning. I’m used to going to dental offices and having all those dental hygienists clean my teeth instead of the primary dentist (they do the more advanced stuff). But wow this guy did it all, including taking my x-​rays, making my dental impressions, etc.
Isn’t that kind of tiring though? Gilberto if you’re reading this, I seriously recommend that you hire a small team to help you and work with you, so that you aren’t overwhelmed (and actually have someone else answer the phone while you’re working on someone else’s teeth).
I also find it annoying how I have to call TRICARE/​Metlife several times to check if I’m covered for every single thing; I thought this is something that my dentist should know as well.
Regardless, Gilberto does an amazing job at everything he does; he just needs to have an equally amazing staff to back him up as well.

I needed the Doc to accommodate my needs to get me teeth cleaned asap and he did! He is gentle and did a through cleaning of my teeth… this is the second time i have gone to him and he is great! Excellent bed side manners and extremely accommodating If you are terrified of going to a dentest… Dr. Henriques is your man!

Gilberto has always being very honest regarding the cavities I had. I have had Gilberto as my dentist for 15 years, and never had a problem. After moving out of Los Angeles I tried finding a new dentist in my local area. Every exam w/​every dentist was always a nightmare. They told me I have too many cavities, and all in different places from the exams of others. I took these exams to Gilberto while visiting Los Angeles, and he told me the truth, that the exams were not right, and I had no cavities. Gilbert had nothing to gain financially by telling me the truth. He is a very honest professional, which is hard to find, nowadays. So every 6 months, I try to go back to Los Angeles to have a dentist visit w/​Gilbert, because he honestly tells me the truth about my teeth hygiene, and also he does an excellent job with my teeth cleaning. I recommend him highly to my friends and family members

Dr Henriques provides care with so much integrity and consideration for his patients fear and concern. I feel more like his guest than a patient because he would do all he can to accommodate me and he truly respects my choice of treatment. Like many patients i can tell when a heath care provider is genuinely mindful of such preferences. I met in his waiting room a few of his patients who would come from far away for his treatment.
I m glad i found a good dentist, a genuine professional, a decent man in Dr Enriques. I can’t stop bragging about him to my wife who has her dentist :)

Just moved to the area and needed a new dentist. Found this guy based on the other great Unilocal reviews — I’m extremely happy I did. Probably the most pleasant tooth-​cleaning experience I ever had (no pain, fast and efficient, didn’t try t osell me tooth whitening, teeth felt really nice afterwards). Also he gave me a helpful Flossing 101.

I went to see Dr. Henriques, first because he was within walking distance from my house and my partner’s bridge fell off, so it was kind of a dental emergency. He was very accommodating and got us in right away. He got right down to it and was quick but through. I came back for a teeth cleaning, x-​rays and then two fillings. He was very warm with me and extra gentle. All in all it was three visits and three perfect experiences. Dr. Henriques is the utmost in the professionalism department and I liked the fact that he plays hip music in the office (just a bonus). I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a dentist.

Dr Henriques is very friendly and courteous, and has always done a good job on my teeth. I’ve had some bad experiences in the past with unscrupulous dentists who were trying to sell me expensive procedures I didn’t care to have

Dr. Henriques has been my dentist for over a year. I got my teeth adjusted and straightened using removable retainers instead of braces or invisalign. This was the cheapest option and although there were so many different opinions about what I should do, these worked great! Just have patience. My teeth look 100x better now! I would highly recommend Dr. Henriques.
