Best dentist for my girls! So thankful and love her positivity. Office is great, everyone is so nice!

Love Dr. Harmer. She is so calm and sweet with our little ones. They are always on time and appointments dont take too long.

Wow!!!!! What an amazing experience I had today. I took three of my kids here today for the first time. From A to Z my experience was flawless and pain free. The front office staff super quick and efficient. The hygienists (shout out to Courtney and Jeremias!) were amazing and gentle. My kids weren't easy but they were patient and gentle. My kids were so happy!!! The doctor was so kind and so knowledgeable I was so happy leaving. Thank you so much!!! read more

I don't have a photo of my sons first dentist appointment with his Pediatrician Dentist Dr. Lecia Harmer but after 15 years it has come to an end. Off to our family Dentist since his next 6 month cleaning will be as an adult. Thank you Dr. Harmer and staff for all of hard and dedicated work. We will miss you tremendously. Maybe one day I can bring my future grand babies. I totally recommend her for your little ones. She's one of the best! Off to college! #pediatricdentistry #drleciaharmer #adultlife #offtocollege #momnotdoingwell read more

See all

Dr. Harmer is the most gentle caring dentist. We saw a few others that left our daughter very anxious. Dr. Harmer and her staff worked with our daughter over many visits to gain her trust. Treatment plans have always been talked thru and we never felt like we were being over sold anything. Our daughter has beautiful healthy teeth thanks to her practice. read more

Dedicated teams and Dr. Dr Harmer is the best. They give gifts for kids and the decorations make the kids calm and relax

Can't say enough about Dr. Harmer and the entire staff. Going to the dentist can be such a pain, especially for those that can use an extra hand in feeling comfortable around dental care. The thoroughness in their care and attention to detail is second to none. I really appreciate places that take the time to address questions and nerves, it's a lost art. Thanks to everyone, truly! read more

We love our experience with Dr. Harmer every time we visit. Everyone on the staff is delightful and the overall energy of the office is caring and efficient. I couldn't ask for more from a children's dentist practice. read more

Lecia Harmer is my absolute favorite dentist that has ever existed. This is a LONG LONG LONG over due review. Buckle up and sit tight. I have some things to say! My son who is now 9, had to have 6 teeth fixed when he was 4..? He may have been 3. By the time we noticed a cavity and our dental insurance kicked in, it was like 5 months later. (We came in with both of our kids and my daughter who is scared of a lot, really liked Dr. harmer. Thank God. ) Our son got his exam and Dr. Harmer said we needed to act quickly because he had quite a few cavities. We opted to have him put to sleep via IV, instead of the gas. Dr. Harmer actually doesn't like the gas as it could mess with kids developing brains. I really loved that response because I felt like she was thinking of the kids in the future and a lot of people just say "it's fine." We had an anesthesiologist named... DOCTOR EINSTEIN. No I am not joking. My husband and I were very nervous as this was going to be a big deal having our son go under. However, doctor Einstein was absolutely incredible. He talked to us DAYS before the procedure and told us how to pre numb our son in certain areas of his arms so that there would be no pain for him. He sent picture diagrams and gave us an Rx for lidocaine cream. Day of, we showed up and he had us bring him into the room and get comfortable before the procedure. He let him play with the brain monitor he would wear later and see the heated blanket and how it worked, too. When the time came, doctor Harmer came in and talked with ollie and got him laughing and talking as Doctor Einstein put in the IV. They told us to sit next to him, hold him gently and help him relax as he fell asleep. He was out in less than 20 seconds. I cried. What an experience. As they proceeded with the work on his teeth, the nurse came out and gave us updates and the doctor came out and one point too. They also had the whole office cleared and said we could come back any time and check on him. Dad and I just cried in the waiting room the whole time. LOL. Everything went smoothly and the doctors woke him up. We were there as his eyes opened and he was soooo out of it. Doctor Einstein actually carried my son all the way out and to my car for me. My husband was getting the car and my son was so heavy!! I didn't even have to ask him, he saw me start to struggle and just smiled and picked him up and said "lead the way." Overall, we had an amazing experience with doctors Harmer and Einstein. We continued to see doctor Harmer until we moved to the Bay Area [insert major crying facing]. Honestly wish she saw adults because I would love to have her as my dentist. 5/6 years later, and I still talk about our experience here. Her staff was also amazing! I wish we lived in LA still. I wish she was still my kid's dentist. You're missed Doctor Harmer. 1000/10 recommend read more

Dr. Harmer is by far the best doctor my son has ever been to, I wish all doctors had her bedside manner! My son has a lot of stranger anxiety right now but Dr. Harmer and her staff were so friendly, he was more relaxed here than he is around some people he sees often! We weren't sure how it was going to go, he has never been to the dentist before, but he was so chill - due to her sweet demeanor that she was able to do the exam and give him a fluoride treatment with only two seconds of crying, literally. I thought it could have been a total disaster. Sooo glad we've found a wonderful dentist for my 18 month old as he gets older! read more

I have been taking 2 of my children to see Dr. Harmer for a few years now and it is always a wonderful experience. Since the first time I brought my kids to her office I never have any trouble bringing my kids in for a visit, even when one of my children had a get a few cavities filled. Actually, my motivation for writing this review is because Dr. Harmer treated my child with such care and TLC that he forgot that he had to go in for a cavity and not just a regular cleaning. I do currently recommend Dr. Harmer to some of the other Mom's that I know and it was actually another Mom that refereed me. Always, grateful!!! read more

Literally the BEST pediatric dentist around! I was super nervous about my 5 year old having a cavity filled. Not only did Dr Harmer calm MY nerves, she did the filling without my daughter even realizing there was a shot or any drilling done. She's also filled teeth on my 7 year old without any issues. My kids actually look forward to going to the "tooth fairy dentist." Dr Harmer is magical!!! read more

Dr. Harmer is the Best pediatric dentist ever! She has extracted 2 of my highly sensitive child's teeth out of necessity and my little one is still so excited to see her next month for fillings. She is so kind and patient with great focus on helping my child feel comfortable and heard. The front office and her dental assistants are Amazing as well! We will continue to travel to see her. Highly Recommend!! read more

Love this dentist, but Dr.Harmer does not accept Delta insurance, so we had to find a new dentist. We were super broken hearted, but unfortunately, we could no longer afford to use her services. read more

10 STARS! Never did I ever think my child would love going to the dentist! Dr. Harmer and her staff are beyond amazing! Let me explain: They are so kind, gentle and explain everything in detail to my child and alleviate and unknown factors before they're even a thought. We see dr. harmer twice a year, but my kid asks me at least once a month "can we go see Dr. Harmer". All the hygienists we've seen have been amazing, and Dr. Harmer is a gem of a dentist... got me wishing I had someone like her as a dentist when I was a kid! Choosing a toy from the toy display is like a cherry on top! Parking- the building has its own parking lot which the office provides validation for. read more

Clean and friendly office. Kids felt right at home. Easy parking and good location.

I am very happy to have found this dentist for my 11 yr old son. The staff there are so welcoming and friendly. They make sure you have filled out all paperwork forms before you go into the office. The dental hygienist was so wonderful and gave my sons teeth a really good cleaning. The dentist Ms. Harmer was also so friendly and they ask if you want your child to watch the iPad while they work to help ease their mind or tension. The office is immaculately clean and very nicely decorated. I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone. read more

I was going to this office when I was in high school and had braces. I probably should've gone to another office that was an adult dental office. Anyways the pro is that the cleaning was always very thorough. What I didn't like was that they were trying to push me to get my four wisdom teeth out and wanted to refer me to a wisdom teeth surgeon to do that. I kept telling them that the wisdom teeth weren't bothering me and that I was too scared of surgery. They pushed me to do more xrays then what's healthy or medically necessary and would try to do that at every appointment. Panorama xrays hurt my mouth because it is very small and I remember asking the dentist doing the xray to stop. I guess the work environment isn't great or something because the employees lack empathy and are too afraid to lose their job. The xray hurt me and after that visit at the office I transfered to a new office that specialized in adults and never want to go back to this one. Also it has been several years since that visit and I never got my wisdom teeth taken out and I'm okay. Take Lecia dental advice with a grain of salt and pick a different office. read more

Dr Harmer was covering for our regular dentist during the holidays and was so helpful and patient via the phone to help us with a sudden pain my son was having between his front teeth. She was so knowledgeable and thoughtful and responded right away. She had the answers to all my questions. We were very grateful for her help. read more

Definitely nervous about bringing my little in for his first dental visit but Dr Harmer and her staff are absolutely amazing. My wiggle worm sat mostly still during his cleaning as the hygienist was entertaining him the whole time as well as Luca playing on the tv on the ceiling. So much thought put in to make this as painless as possible for kids to visit the dentist. Dr Harmer is absolutely the sweetest! I wish this could be my dentist! read more

Dr Lecia Hammer is an amazing human being! I say this because she is one of the sweetest person I ever met! She makes my kids comfortable and ok about going to the dentist!! Moreover she is very competent in her field and I trust her completely. The office is very clean and well decorated, staff is courteous and kids receive a nice prize at the end (Pokémon card!) read more

Dr. Harmer is an amazing dentist. I don't know if you want to read yet another 5 star review, there are hundreds of them on here. I'm just going to summarize it with. She is perfect for this job, the best dentist ever. read more

Best Place ever! Highly recommend after having experience with a few other Pediatric Dentist. Dr Harmer, is patient and loving. read more

Doctor,harmer you are the best at fixing my teeth.you always let me have breaks . you are so gentle and kind.

Dr. Harmer is truly AMAZING! She has made the impossible, possible. My 7 year old daughter has been absolutely terrified of going to the dentist. The moment we stepped foot into a dentist office she would keep her mouth shut tight and cry hysterically, trying to run out. I tried many dentists that had great reviews on dealing with scared kids before I found Dr. Harmer. Unfortunately, none were able to get through to my daughter without using force (which traumatized her more) or completely giving up and telling me there was nothing they can do without putting her to sleep which would cost me over $1,000.00 for each treatment. After being told the same thing time after time again by different dentists, I had no other option but to continue searching for a new dentist and that's when I found Dr. Harmer. This office gave a completely different experience the moment we stepped foot through those doors. Not only is Dr. Harmer incredible with her patience, but so are the dental assistants here. In less than a year, Dr. Harmer worked hard to earn the love and trust of my daughter. Now my daughter sits alone on the chair without any problems and recently got a tooth filling and extraction with no tears! I didn't think this day would ever come, I had been so overwhelmed and stressed when it came to dental visits for my daughter. But not anymore, I can never thank Dr. Harmer enough!!! She is amazing at what she does! I always refer her to anyone with children. She is a MIRACLE WORKER! read more

Wow Dr Harmer is super nice and very professional, she provided treatment for my child that is less invasive then other Dentist offered. Thank You :) read more

When it comes to dentists, I'm always trying to pick a dentist that I can trust (because I'm generally sensitive with people working in my mouth!). This gets amplified by a million (no exaggeration) when you start to pick a dentist for your children. I'm so happy to say: Dr. Harmer is one in a million. She's so amazing!! From our first experience, she was genuine, warm, professional, and most of all - made our 6 year old feel comfortable in a potentially uncomfortable situation. She even sent us a follow up thank you note in the mail, after our first visit! A few weeks after our initial visit, our munchkin fell on the playground at school, and damaged her tooth and the inside of her mouth pretty badly. Dr. Harmer saw us immediately and helped us through the situation - even calling us later that night to check in and see how she was feeling. It is the rare combination of Dr. Harmer's knowledge/professionalism/experience coupled with her genuine kindness and positive energy that make us feel incredibly lucky to have her as our daughter's dentist. Thank you Dr. Harmer and staff - you are all so amazing and we are so grateful to have found you! read more

She's the best dentist I could ever ask for my kids. She's very gentle and fun. Also, soft spoken, her voice keeps my nervous kids calm. read more

Dr. Harmer is amazing. I am so glad we found her, especially since my son seems to have a few dental issues. She is kind, gentle, professional, honest and conservative. I could not recommend her and her team more!!! Truly amazing! read more

Thank you so much for coming out to my preschool today !!! The kids enjoyed the lesson on brushing their teeth and loved the song by the tooth fairy. The kids and I will be practicing everyday !! Thanks for the goodies as well :) Sara K's preschool read more

Lecia Harmer, DDS,MS - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Encino, California

This office is fantastic- just all around great. They are incredibly nice, and they are so soothing and calming that my normally anxious teen son never complains or tries to wiggle out of getting his dental problems addressed. If there was a sixth star, I'd give it to them. read more

Found my children's pediatric dentist! I've been bringing my children here for about two years and absolutely love it. I am so happy that I found Dr. Harmer and Team. From the front office to the dental assistants, there is a common thread of kindness and professionalism. The wait time is consistently very short (None - 15 min max). My children are excited when I tell them it's time for a dental check-up. My son had extensive work done and I was surprised that he didn't complain at all while he got various procedures. If you are looking for a dentist for your child/children, I am sure that you will be very happy to have brought them here. read more

Lecia Harmer, DDS,MS - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Encino, California

Lecia Harmer is a very special breed of human and she is one of the sweetest people on the planet. Meet her in person and observe how she interacts with your kids and you'll know what I mean. Just take a moment and reflect how difficult a job as a pediatric dentist is every minute, hour, day and etc. OMG - it takes an ultra sweet superstar to be an exceptional pediatric dentist and she is one of those. I just can't thank her enough for providing exceptional services to my twin boys. Being a pediatric dentist is one of the toughest jobs in the world and I respect, admire and applaud her for doing a great job! My husband and I both work in healthcare and we have high expectations in terms of bedside manners. He and I were both impressed by her communication, knowledge, and professionalism. It would be just impossible to dislike Dr. Harmer. read more

Best kids Dentist in LA!! Super sweet and professional stuff. My kids really getting good treatment and not scared at all. Thank you Lecia Harmer!!! read more

May I just say, Dr. Harmer is truly the TOOTH FAIRY!!!! She is 100%, hands down the BEST pediatric dentist out there. My two sons previous dentist tied the boys down for fillings and other procedures. This left my older son completely traumatized and he developed a fear for going to the dentist. Unfortunately, he had so much work to be done in his mouth, I felt desperate to find another dentist in hopes of having a better experience. I was referred by a friend to give Dr. Harmer a try. It was one of the best decisions of my life. She is so sweet, attentive, tender, and has the most calming presence. My older son who used to cry and scream during a dentist visit, has completely grown out of his fears!! Thanks to Dr. Harmer and her amazing staff, my kids now like going to the dentist! We have had only good experiences here and I am sure it will continue that way in the future. Thank YOU Dr. Harmer and staff, we love you guys! :) read more

Lecia Harmer, DDS,MS - She was comfortable! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Encino, California

We followed Dr. Harmer from where she was previously. I would have followed her anywhere. She was the only dentist that made my daughter feel comfortable. Now, 10 years later all my kids love coming to the dentist because of how wonderful Dr. Harmer is. She is kind and sweet and an excellent dentist. I trust her completely. She truly cares. I am so thankful we found her and after 10 years she is just as patient and amazing as ever. read more

Dr. Harmer and her staff are incredible with our 21 month old. Today was our second visit and she makes everything seem so effortless. Cleaning toddler teeth is no easy feat and we appreciate her patience and speediness while being thorough. The office is also super clean with many toys and the cutest decor to make you feel very comfortable. The staff is very helpful and friendly as well. read more

My third post about this office I know. Dr lecia and her staff are exceptional! I no longer have dental insurance and still I come here because there's just no one better in my opinion. My 5 yo had a filling done recently and he doesn't even know because they are that amazing at treating children. My 3 yo who isn't the most cooperative at home even looks forward to her visits and that to me speaks volumes. Thank you Dr. Lecia and team for everything. -Erika read more
