They expect payment when scheduling before any work is done which is a bad sign and I definitely experienced some burnout vibes here: condescending attitude toward patient satisfaction, lacking empathy, and recommending work that I am not sure was necessary. Seem to care more about profit and really felt like they like the profit but not as much actually providing positive experiences here. Would definitely not recommend for anyone with dental anxiety. Regret scheduling here, and only really went because I didn't know Dental Health Associates in Lakewood started taking military insurance.

Needless to say I looked elsewhere since my former dentist said I didn't need it at all. I received several recommendations for Kamkar Family & Gentle Dentistry. I was amazed that I was able to have deep root cleaning WITHOUT anything but a pill and it worked to perfection! I no longer have any anxiety about dental visits. The staff are patient and friendly and thorough. Every procedure I've had has been explained in detail I can understand and I always have several options to choose.

Dental visits are a painful, fearful experience for me -- until we found Dr. Kamkar. He is truly incredible! And so amazingly gentle! I am extremely sensitive to jaw and tooth pain and with Dr. Kamkar, I can't even tell when he's working, it's completely painless. Add to all of this the fact that he is funny, friendly, and supportive and his current staff are wonderful. I can't give enough praise. My husband, mother, and I are all so very pleased.

Then along comes Dr. Winter to blow all my expectations out of the water. He may be Hollywood-handsome, but he knows his dentistry!! When he started to hint that a root canal was needed, I completely shut him down. He didn't argue with me. That's how gentle he is. His assistant Trish waited until I was ready for more info and she educated me, then Dr. Winter confirmed why this was the optimal solution for my particular dental concerns. More info always helps me make decisions like this -- vs. info that is scattershot and untrustworthy online. Trish gave me all the factual info I was missing. And then the hygienist Addie blew my mind with all the info she provided on how I can avoid spending more $ than necessary on the periodontal cleanings I need 4x a year. She really listened to all my concerns, and while she had my complete attention (meaning I couldn't yak since she was working on my teeth) she "brain-dumped" all the info I told her I was craving. She knows how to tailor her message to her audience. All without missing a beat as she cleaned my teeth. Great multi-tasker! Incredibly, she managed to turn my few remaining uncrowned teeth to an ivory to match my other teeth. Gone is all the yellow -- in a single cleaning! Why haven't other hygienists in the past done this for me??? Maybe because they were trying to sell me on whitening treatments I wonder? I can't take the risk of bleaching my sensitive teeth, and Addie totally sympathized. She gave me a crash course in protecting my teeth going forward. And last but most emphatically not least, this clinic has the most impressive technological advances I've seen at previous dentist offices. You'd think all this state-of-the-art technology would cost up the ying-yang but they really aren't any more expensive than the other dentists' offices I've dealt with. This is my very first Yelp review, because it's the first time I felt compelled to broadcast how great these people are!
