Victoria V Nisman, DDS

Thank you Dr. N for always taking great care of my teeth, I’m smiling bigger and brighter because of YOU

I have been a patient of Dr. Nisman for 5 years. Since my youth years, I have always been fearful of seeing the dentist but the service from Dr. Nisman’s office is truly fantastic. I drive from the South Bay to Van Nuys every 6 months just to go to Dr. Nisman’s office. Her service is fantastic. My husband went to her as a child and recommended her services and I could not be happier with this office. It is worth the drive and traffic! Everyone is extremely professional, extremely gentle on any procedure and makes the dental experience as soothing as possible. She has the nicest staff who actually remembers things about their patient’s personal lives and the same dental hygienists have been working with her for as long as I can remember.

I have been seeing Dr. Nissman for about 17 years now. I have tried other dentists due to my geographical location, but even though I live in Orange County and I still drive up to see her because I have not had anyone better :)

The following review has been filtered, but that’s fine with me
I believe in God and HE is my Judge, she can’t get away from the God’s judgement soon or later…
It was the worst experience I have ever had in my life, I filed a complaint with the dental board of california, but it was very hard to prove. It’s so mean, willing to destroy someone’s life for 800 dollar…
I just hope that God will punish her for what she has done to my teeth.
November 17, 2011:
The following is in response to Victoria V Nisman, DDS’ comment dated 09/​21/​2011, at the bottom of this review, I just read two days ago.
It is not that Dr Nisman was unable to help me with my dental problems;
Dr Nisman created new dental problems.
I got Dr Nisman’s information from the 1−800-dentist, and I should have let the 1−800-dentist contact Dr Nisman first before going there but instead I went directly to her office.
After filling out all the information needed I handed it over to Dr Nisman’s assistant. Dr Nisman then reached my information and I heard from the waiting room Dr Nisman spoke loudly «he is a sushi chef». Dr Nisman might think, the front desk’s window was closed so I could not hear that. Well, the window was closed but not soundproof. In that moment I felt uncomfortable, it was kind of disrespect.
I went to see Dr Nisman with one main problem, the filling of the teeth number 15, that was done in Germany, on the upper left side, after so many years, was broken.
After examination Dr Nisman said a re-​filling was impossible, a root canal must be done, I was shocked and I rejected it.
Dr Nisman then said there was decay on the tooth number 14, I was surprised. To the best of my knowledge the tooth number 14 was a healthy tooth, I always check with a dental mirror. What Dr Nisman didn’t know was that I was a medical student and was studying medicine at the free university of Berlin, Germany.
(My professor said I was one of his best students; I couldn’t complete my medical study due to sport injury)
At that time I thought the decay might be at the posterior /​back side of the tooth number 14 that I couldn’t see with a dental mirror. There was no decay at the top of the tooth number 14, that’s I know for sure.
So I let Dr Nisman drilled the tooth number 14 with my understanding that only the back side of the tooth number 14, that’s where the filling of the tooth number 15 were located
To my surprise, when I got home, I checked it with a dental mirror, Dr Nisman had drilled the top of the tooth number 14 from the back side of the tooth number 13 to the front side of the tooth number 15, I was totally shocked.
The tooth number 14 became very sensitive and later on I had continuous pain on this tooth number 14. Even during the sleep I still could feel the pain.
Due to continuous pain I went to see another dentist, and after he removed the filling that Dr Nisman had done it, he found the reason why I had continuous pain, Dr Nisman had put the filling right on the nerve. This dentist said he would like to know from which dental school Dr Nisman has graduated. He did a root canal on this tooth number 14, and later a crown was put on this tooth number 14.
From a healthy tooth I have now a crown on this tooth number 14.
Dr Nisman also said deep cleaning needs to be done. Most of the teeth become super sensitive to this day after the deep cleaning Dr Nisman performed. For the rest of my life I can’t eat ice cream any more, or drinking iced water/​beverages. Dr Nisman also damaged the front side of the tooth number 2.
I went to see another dentist complaining about this sensitiveness, he first recommended to use the Sensodyne tooth paste, it did not diminish the sensitiveness at all. He then prescribed me the Colgate Prevident 5000 Sensitive, and until now I am using it, but still I can’t eat ice cream or drinking iced water/​beverages.
I filed a complaint with the dental board of California and a year later I got a response from the dental board of California with the recommendation to hire an attorney.
Due to financial reason I was and am not able to hire an attorney to pursue legal action against Victoria V Nisman, DDS. I would have done it otherwise.
(I am thinking of writing a letter to the Oprah Show)

Let me preface my remark with the fact that I have a paralyzing fear of dentists. Dr. Nissman’s husband was my childhood dentist and I have been a patient of Dr. Nissman’s as an adult. I will NEVER go anywhere else. She is patient, kind, and incredibly smart and beautiful.
If you are like me and scared, don’t be… call her office and make an appt.
