For 25 years I hated going to the dentist, but now every six months I look forward to it. What more can I say?
My wife and I have been going to see Dr. Dinesfeld for about 5 years now, and we love our appointments. I had several VERY bad experiences at other dentists in the area, and then completely lucked out with Lanny. We drive down from Woodland Hills to see him (that's a pretty hefty drive down the 405 fwy), but its totally worth it.
Pros:
- Dr. Dinesfeld has an outstanding, calming bedside manner, and often wears Hawaiin shirts on the job
- He runs a single dentist operation - this means he's it, and he is THE dentist you will see every time you go in
- His long-time assistant Crystal is awesomely friendly and they have a great rapport
- His appointments are NEVER stacked. Every time we show up 5 minutes early, and every time we go straight in.
- Dr. Dinesfeld is a classic rock nut, and always has some great tunes on. He even plays jazz piano as a hobby!
Cons
-Um, well, the only thing I can think of is parking, but its not that bad. If you look around a little bit, you'll find something close. If you're really nice, Crystal will even spot you some quarters for the meter :) read more
