Alek Zand, DDS

I used to come here when Dr LaCivita was the dentist, left because of my crazy insurance but came crawling back after having to see a terrible dentist w/​my new insurance.
I liked Dr. LaCivita just fine (I referred my whole office to him) but Dr. Zand is the best dentist I’ve ever seen. I received a pretty big filling and crown from him and it was the most gentle (almost enjoyable?) dental procedure I’ve ever had… and I’ve had plenty of dental work.
So glad to see Daoud is still the hygienist. He’s seriously the best at what he does and a wonderful person.
Come here, you won’t regret it! This is the kind of place you’ll fly back to after you move.

Cleanings are epic. Staff is super courteous and thorough. Dr Zand has always been a Pro and taken care of everything from fillings to wisdom teeth. If you are looking for an awesome Dental — go here.

I had been going to Dr. La Civita for years when Dr. Zand took over. I wasn’t sure if I’d stick around, but Dr. Zand has been great. They renovated the office, so each chair now has their own TV which is really nice. I always don’t know what to look at when I’m at the dentist, so now I can watch TV! The lobby was also renovated with nicer chairs and a little water/​coffee/​snacks station.
Dr. Zand kept the same staff and I’m really glad for that. Daoud is the best hygenist ever. He is so gentle and super friendly. I’ve been going to Daoud for 10 years and give him a hug every time I go in! I typically only have cleanings so most of the time is with Daoud, but did have one filling from when I was a child that needed to be fixed last year. Dr. Zand was gentle and it was super quick and easy. They don’t try to be pushy with services either; although they keep calling me to set up my husband’s appointment… not sure how my husband got them to call me instead of him!
I’ve never had any issues with insurance coverage and out of pocket expenses are reasonable. I definitely recommend checking out Dr. Zand if you’re looking for a dentist.

Dr. Zand is great, he made sure I understood what needed to be done before moving on to the procedure. I have already been to his office 3 times. Once for cleaning and the rest for invisalign treatment to close the gap between my front teeth. He always makes sure my invisalign are comfortable and shaves the unconformable region if needed.
Another big issue for me, when going to the dentist is that I have a small mouth so there is only so much I can open it. My previous dentist would always tare the side of my mouth by the time she was done. But Dr. Zand in super gentle and I have not had any problems and have never experienced any pain while under his care. The front staff is also very Friendly and they have a very nice assortment of drinks and snacks in the waiting room.

I’m very happy that I chose Dr. Zand as my dentist. He has gone to USC, one of the best dental schools in the nation. He is very knowledgeable and his work is top notch, his staff are super friendly and his newly remodeled office is stylish.
I have had terrible experiences before with other dentists, they were not only suggesting unnecessary treatments, but also over charged me. I hate it when you don’t know what’s going on and the dentists try to squeeze as much money as they can out of your pocket. However, Dr Zand was quite patient in examining my teeth and explaining what was really necessary to be taken care of. I also liked it very much when he was making sure I wasn’t in pain while he was working on my teeth.
Going to the dentist can be very scary, especially when they put a tray next to you full of sharp tools and drills. However, Dr. Zand has an absolutely friendly attitude and nice staff, that to me it was like I was hanging out with bunch of friends :)
I am quite happy with him and would gladly recommend him to everyone!
