Goldenberg Family and Cosmetic Dentistry

I was putting off seeing the dentist due to anxiety but needed to go. Realizing that I wasn’t comfortable with my previous dentist, I decided to see Dr. Goldenberg and I was glad that I did! I was kindly greeted by their staff, filled out my paperwork on a computer, and then promptly taken back for x-​rays. I found their equipment to be modern and state of the art. Dr. Jessica reviewed my x-​rays and clearly explained the work I needed to have done. I returned in a few days to begin the recommended work and although I was somewhat nervous, Dr. Jessica was very kind in her understanding and helped me feel at ease prior and during the procedures. I have to return for additional work but don’t have the anxiety that I usually have prior to visiting the dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Jessica especially for anyone who has put off seeing the dentist because of past experiences or anxiety like I had.

Very kind and responsive staff. Dr. Goldenberg and his staff took care of me and made me feel comfortable. I’m so happy that I have found a talented dentist in Ventura.

I came to Dr. Goldenberg after growing very frustrated with trying to get an appt. with my previous dentist. Dr. Goldenberg’s office staff was kind and efficient when I was on the phone making my appt. with them, and actually contacted my previous dentist to have my records sent over. I was able to get an appt. within a reasonable amt of time (about a week or so).
Office staff was polite and courteous, and Sara the hygienist was very quick and gentle. Dr. Goldenberg checked out my teeth and told me that some major stains I had (which my previous dentist told me there wasn’t much I could do about) would be removed quickly and painlessly, and they were! Sara was considerate during the cleaning & stain removal, offering me tissue for the bit of spittle on my mouth. She also worked out with me to use my left hand to signal to her if she got into any sensitive areas– very efficient!
At the end of the cleaning, Sara brought me a nice warm washcloth to wipe my mouth & chin (which felt great, and smelled nice) and had me rinse my mouth out. She also booked my next appt. right then an there, so I didn’t have to go wait for a secretary to be available to book me.
All in all, it was a great experience. My teeth are the whitest they’ve been in about 16 years! Highly recommend these guys.

HIGHLY recommended from someone who HATES going to the dentist. Dr. Goldenberg and his staff are all fantastic! You will not regret choosing this office!

I really like them. Everyone is nice and helpful. If they have to do more than a teeth cleaning they always check my insurance and let me know how much. Dr. Jessie is GREAT with kids. The staff is amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing office! I was immediately greeted with a friendly smile and the entire experience was pleasant. I’m not a fan of the dentist and was filled with anxiety! Dr. Jessica Goldenberg and her dental hygienist were both kind and gentle! I highly recommend Goldenberg Family Dentistry!

I’ve been a patient of this office for over a year and I’ve had nothing but GREAT experiences here. Dr. Goldenberg is very pleasant and amazing at what he does. The beautiful ladies at the front desk are very welcoming and friendly. I had the pleasure of working with Nellie and Arlene, both of which never fail to make me laugh and excited to come back for check ups. I can’t thank this office enough for being such a pleasure to visit.

Wow… very impressive. The work seemed very professional, efficient and high tech (they had gizmos I’ve never seen before… which I have to assume are better than the older stuff). The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and I didn’t wait more than a couple minutes during either of my two visits.
Not sure what they used to numb my teeth and gums, but the pain level for two cavities was very low (considerably better than I’ve experienced previously).
The billing was interesting… they gave me a full estimate of what the work would cost (my portion and insurance portion) at the end of my check-​up, and expected payment right after I had the work done. Personally I like this scheme… you walk out and you are done, and don’t have to chase bills and insurance payments through «snail mail.»
Dr. Jessica was terrific. This was my first dental work since moving to this area, and I’ve definitely found my new dentist.

I called for an appointment
and asked how much do you charge to remove a tooth, the girl on the phone quoted
me a price between 104 – 111 dollars. When I got there before asking me how much
it was going to cost they did the procedure and then handed me a bill for 204
dollars. I was pissed I feel cheated and bamboozled. They completely lied to my
face when I asked about the prices they quoted me on the phone. This was a bait
and switch and it is not right for any business to practice this way. I was not
given an option just thrown a bill of double what they said on phone it’s just
bull. If I was to do the same thing I would be thrown in jail.

What a great place to get your dental care! Look no further for a family practice! I spent two hours there today and i have to say it was the first time in over 15 years I didn’t really want to leave a dentist office. And I am not just saying that. All of their staff was super friendly. Saw Dr. Goldenberg today for my first visit and cleaning. He was attentive and very gentle. He seemed genuinely concerned with my health and plan to take care of my teeth. He explained everything in great detail. Nellie, Rosie and Arlene, where do I start. Between the first phone calls in booking appointments for all three in my family to the first interaction in the office, I had the pleasure of speaking with all three of them. Then they were all there this morning. I felt like I could have been their only patient there by the way they each death with me. They remembered things from our previous conversations and I was instantly comfortable before even sitting in the chair. I think i have searched high and low for a dentist I could trust and I now feel like I can search no more! They really want to work with you if you need help and that is so amazing. Its hard going to the dentist and when you put it off for so long it can be really intimidating. And I have had a lot of work done in my life and the last experience I had a year ago at a different dentist almost made me not want to return anywhere for service. I was really nervous about bad care and horrible procedures. But here at the Goldenberg office, they didn’t make me feel bad at all.
Thank you so much everyone in the office.

*ATTENTION VETERANS*

I’ve had some really horrible experiences in the Army with Dentist. To say they are rough is not even coming close to the pain and horror. This caused me very bad anxiety regarding dentist that has followed me long after.
I just had a root canal done today by Dr. Goldenberg and I could not of asked for a more comfortable experience. Very gentle and very kind. It was still a difficult situation for me, mostly mentally with the anxiety that I deal with. I couldn’t of asked for a doctor to treat me more gentle and kind than Dr. Goldenberg did.
I’m convinced I’m not the only Veteran in the area that is dealing with similar anxiety. I could not recommend a Doctor more than I could recommend Dr. Goldenberg.

I’ve only been a patient of Goldenberg Family and Cosmetic Dentistry for a short period of time, and I’ve refrained from writing a review until I was certain of the level of service provided warranted a five (5) star review. If you’re seeking a family dentistry practice that invests in your end-​to-​end dental experience, see Dr. Goldenberg (Joel and Jessica). I’ve identified a few examples that demonstrate a 5-​star review:
1) Arrived 5 p.m. for Dental X-​ray; 3 cavities found — Dr. Goldenberg (Jessica) stayed to fill three cavities after normal business hours to accommodate my availability due to a heavy work schedule.
2) Finished at 6:30 pm with office staff and Dr. Jessica deciphering not only how my insurance worked, but how the office would handle payments for current and future work that aligned well with my strict budget.
3) Since this visit, I’ve received regular updates on Goldenberg dentist availability, upfront cost, projected cost, and a schedule of prioritized dental work necessary over the next year.
Stellar job folks.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with this dentist! They bent over backwards to figure out the best, most affordable option for us. They’ve got a great staff and a beautiful, relaxing office. I highly recommend you go to them for all of your dental and orthodontic needs!

Great experience today with this group. I was a new patient and a few minutes late– they stayed over an hour late in order to take care of the laundry list of little tune ups I needed.
I’ll be referring everyone to them!

I can’t believe I’m saying this about a dentist visit but I never laughed so much!
Everyone of the staff made me feel at home, like seeing old friends, especially Sara.
It’s a very nice environment, friendly and very professional.

I arrived for my appointment today with my two children and was told that I didn’t have an appointment. I pulled up an email on my cell phone and showed the receptionist that I did have an appointment. After a few minutes I was told that because I missed a prior appointment I was required to confirm my appointments or they would be cancelled and because I didn’t respond to a text message they sent they cancelled my appointment. I haven’t missed an appointment I did call and cancel one at one point so I guess they either 1) consider that a missed appointment or 2) no one canceled the appointment when I called in. I was also not told when I scheduled the three appointments I had that afternoon (me and both of my children) that I would need to confirm my appointments or they would be canceled. A heads up would have been nice. I took my kids out of school early and time off work to show up only to be told there was no appointment. I was told that they would be able to «fit me in around other appointments». Which may be fine but I had to get back to work and didn’t have time to sit there for the afternoon and was frustrated so I decided to leave.
Lesson learned: If you choose this dentist make sure you respond to all texts, they cancel your appointment if you don’t, and it doesn’t seem that it’s their policy to tell you this when you schedule them.

I LOVE this dental office! Both father and daughter doctor’s are amazing and extremely professional. My teeth have never felt better. Also Nellie the hygienist is the sweetest and the friendliest person in the world. They really make you feel that you are being taken care of. Seriously best dental office in town!

Great practice! Dr Joel and Nellie gave me a very extensive initial exam and each has a good chair-​side manner. Heidi, the RDH, performed such an extensive (and pain free) cleaning, I actually think I now weigh 3 pounds lighter :-) … I recommend this practice !!!
PS
Arlene and the front office staff run an efficient office.

I had to get a new dentist when I moved to the area. My last dentist never even came in to check in or look at my x-​rays when I would get a cleaning. I got really frustrated and decided it was a good time to get a new dentist. Imagine my surprise when Dr. Jessica introduced herself on my first visit and talked me through a lot of my dental concerns! She did a full check up on my teeth and did the cleaning herself! I was highly impressed and went back a couple weeks later to get some cavities filled. She and her dental assistant are very professional and made the experience a lot less scary!
I was impressed with how she reaches out to clients and really seems to check in with them. Glad to find her so close to my house!

Say goodbye to the nervous jitters and that dreadful anxiety you often feel before heading to the dentist! The Goldenberg Family won’t disappoint you, as they never fail to deliver high quality, patient-​centered dental care!
I’ve been with Dr. Jessica Goldenberg for about a year now, and I could not be happier with the quality of service that she provides. She is extremely knowledgable and has a keen ability to connect with patients, which makes for quite the pleasant dental experience. I used to dread going to the dentist, but I definitely don’t anymore. In fact, I’m such a huge fan of the Goldenberg Family practice, that I drive all the way from Downtown LA to get my services done. It also helps that the Goldenberg Family opens on the first Saturday of every month to make time for patients like me!
Lastly, their office is absolutely gorgeous, and they did a great job of really creating a warm atmosphere. I really feel at home when I’m there, and I don’t know how many other people can say that about their dentists. The office staff and dental assistants are all very friendly and welcoming, and they, too, contribute to the overall wonderful patient experience!
P. S. I just started Invisalign thanks to Dr. Jessica, and I am SO excited to see the results! I trust I will have a million dollar smile :)
