Joseph P Sciarra, DDS

I love Dr. Sciarra, the lady and the guy that assist him. If it wasn’t for the receptionist thats normally there it would be an awesome experience. I get happy when there someone else in the front desk. I feel like she has an attitude and it should be that way when your dealing with patients/​customers.

I started to go to Dr. Joe when I was four years old. 34 years later, I STILL go to him.
As a kid, I had lots of extra teeth so I had a lot of extractions. Dr. Joe never hurt me. The worst part was the Novocain shot. I also had a weird extra tooth growing sideways behind one of my canines. He referred me to an oral surgeon for that one.
He also referred me to the oral surgeon who removed all four wisdom teeth when I was a teenager.
Because of Dr. Joe’s care, I only needed braces for 6 months on my top teeth and that was because of the weird extra tooth I grew. Never needed them on the bottom and my teeth are beautifully straight to this day.
Ella cleans my teeth now (because I’m adult). As an adult, I developed some anxiety and she is so gentle and understanding. Under Dr. Joe’s care I’ve had just a few cavities as an adult and no other dental issues.

We’ve had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Sciarra and his office. They are all pleasant people and, most importantly, highly competent. My son needed a root canal when he was about 9 and Dr. Sciarra did it all. The nitrous made sure my kid, who was very fearful of pain then, didn’t feel a thing, before or after. Same with when he needed teeth pulled to make room for the adult teeth. The doc does orthodontics, too, but doesn’t rush into it. I felt sure my kid needed braces — I got them when I was 7 — but Dr. Sciarra assured me he’d let me know if and when the time came. Now he has — my kid is 13 — and we’re sticking with the one that brung us.

I’ve been coming here for over 15 years! Dr. Sciarra really knows his stuff, I’ve had cavities taken care of and braces at this dentist office. This is actually the only dentist I’ve seen and I am extremely happy here. Great staff and great office.

My first visit with Dr Schiera. I was a bit surprised when I walked in. The waiting room looks like it has not been updated for years. Chairs are at least 10 years old. The welcome greeting was «who is the patient». Would it not be nice to say good morning?
No changing table at this pediatric!!! dentist. I had to use the waiting room chair to change my daughter’s diaper. Thus the 4 star and not 5.
Waiting time was about 20 minutes. I am happy with that.
Dr schiera was professional and welcoming himself. My daughter was not scared and let him clean her teeth. Inside of the office itself was clean and professional. I will come back again

Dr Joe is the only dentist I have ever seen (22 years a patient and counting). I have had teeth pulled, cavities filled, routine cleanings, etc. Dr Joe has always been very honest with me (and my parents) regarding necessary work– I had huge gaps in my mouth as a child and he never put braces on, knowing that they would fill in. I have a pretty perfect and straight smile now. He also referred me to a great surgeon for my wisdom teeth removal.
Anyways, he’s great– my friends also used him growing up, and now he is my dental security blanket so I drive from the city back to the valley for stupid routine things :)

Dr. Joe is a great dentist for children, and his staff and assistants are very professional. My son needed sedation which had been turned away by other pediatric dentists due to his multiple food allergies. Dr. Sciarra handled his case easily and efficiently. My other son, who did not require sedation, enjoyed visiting Dr. Sciarra’s office which is equipped with video games and individual TV monitors. We are very happy to have Dr. Joe as our children’s dentist.

We just started taking our daughter here, and our experience has been wonderful.
As any parent knows most kids dread the dentist, but after it was all said and done our daughter walked out of Dr Sciarra’s office asking when her next visit would be.
It was a very pleasant experience for her, and she wasn’t scared in the least.
Also their office manager at the front (her name slipped my mind, sorry!) is so sweet and accommodating.
Happy we found a great pediatric dentist with a great caring team.

Dr. Joe is a great pediatric dentist. He is patient and makes parents and kids feel at ease. Great set up with state of the art equipment. We don’t mind driving the extra mike just to been seen by Dr. Joe.

I’m a mom of 3 sons ranging in age from 4 – 10. Finding the right dentist for my children has made such a difference. My children have been going to Dr. Sciarra’s office for about 5 years. Our experience with him and his back office staff has been nothing less than spectacular!
Their first dentist was a nightmare. It was a beautiful plush office in Porter Ranch with an impeccably dresses dentist. Everything looked great until my children sat in the chair. Their experience was horrific. Her bed side manner was terrible and included scolding them and me. She was incompetent and my children were terrified to go to the dentist after that experience. I felt so guilty to have put them through that type of treatment.
Although Spectacular is a very strong adjective to describe the dreaded trip to the dentist, my children always leave with a smile when they visit Dr. Sciarra. He and his back office staff are kind, caring, funny, and Competent. Most importantly, they know how to make both the parents and the kids feel comfortable and free of anxiety. I’m very happy with Dr. Sciarra and highly recommend him.

In Woodland Hills we have 5 dental offices on each corner. Keep driving when you land here. I’ve been to this office 3 times. On every occasion or 100% of the time the front office girl has an attitude and appears put out that she would actually have to take your card or check a box that you are there.
I feel sorry for her. There are never any other patients (1^st clue) so its not like its busy or even the end of the day. So for me personally, I’m over it. This WH native has choices and lots of them so you need to step it up.
Try Corner Dental Spa– Dr Kanani– He loves kids, remembers their faces and their interests. Big mistake trying Dr Joe again. Dr Pfieffer is great too.
