I have been going to Dr. Gordon for a few years. After frustrating experiences with other dentists, who were more interested in up-selling services than my dental care, I found this office. Dr. Gordon was referred to me by a co-worker.. She was close to my work, so I decided to give it a shot. From my first visit I could tell that she would be my Dentist from that point forward. She was patient with me (still is) and explained everything in detail, and guess what? I have never had any need for additional work, aside from the normal cleaning. Honesty in dentistry. What a concept!!! Her office and equipment is always pristine and her staff is even nicer than her, if that's even possible. Judy and Lyza treat me like family and are always on top of my appointments. With everything that's going on in my life, is nice to know that I don't have to worry about my dental care. Both my husband and I have referred people to her. She's that good! Thank you Dr. Gordon, you're a gem. read more

Love this office. Thelma is the sweetest and nicest. Dr. Gordon is an excellent dentist to whom I owe my great smile. 5 minutes from my house and free parking in the convenient lot. read more

Friendly staff, but I wasn't told that I would have to pay extra $200 at the beginning of the process to get my new dentures.

Dr. Melinda Gordon does not F around. She fixed my throbbing pain and told me what I needed to do to fix it. I saw the X-Ray and I was embarrassed that I did not follow her first advice. So here I am...the throbbing pain is gone and I'm loving Doctor Gordon. She is my hero! read more

TERRIBLE!!! This has been the first review I have ever written but it was so BAD I had to write. I saw the amazing reviews for this dentist and she was right down the street from where I live. First I walk in and a lady is just sitting there she didn't even look up at me and said she'll be with you. About 10 minutes later the assistant comes and hands me paperwork to fill out. The rude lady sitting at the desk was the dentist (Dr. Gordon). I finally went back in the chair and they had ancient tools to do my x-rays. Her assistant did all my work by herself. My gums were already swollen so this ancient tool she was ripping my mouth open with caused more damage. She FINALLY finished and then Dr. Gordon told me what I already knew routine root canal for one tooth and wisdom teeth extraction then had her assistant recommend me to an oral surgeon. To add salt to a wound she saw my swollen gums didn't prescribe anything and I ended up in the ER that night. Be cautious about going here, either she wasn't having a good day or she just doesn't care anymore! Maybe if she upgraded her office she would feel better! read more

I chose this place for convenience as it is located right down the street from where I live. I took my children here for cleanings, x-rays, etc. All of the staff was friendly and professional and answered all of my questions. They were great with my teens who were apprehensive about the whole process - both my kids walked away feeling great about their experience - each had a cavity filled and a cleaning/polishing. Overall, a great experience. Just made my second appointment. :) read more

Melinda Gordon, DMD - No waiting for me today! - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Just got done with my first appointment with Melinda Gordon and I'm 100% satisfied! My experience from the beginning was easy and pleasant, starting with my initial call. The staff was as friendly and helpful in person as they were over the phone. Melinda was super nice, as I didn't expect anyone to be after looking at my teeth. She didn't make me feel bad and she was quick and thorough. Found my new dentist going forward!! read more

I called here to see if they accepted my daughter's dental insurance. Judy was very nice, and told me she would call and find out if they did. She called me back in about 5 minutes. Thy do not accept it, so I cannot say if the dentist is good or not. I can say she was nice enough to check for me, and call me back promptly. Usually you cant even get that service anymore. Thanks Judy. ;) read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I went here once as a referral after going to my other dentist for years. I had went in for a cleaning and knew that I had 2 cavities from my previous dentist's X-rays a few months before. Melinda told me I had 8. I was naive and trusted her as a professional. She drilled 8 holes in my teeth and was not as "gentle" as other reviewers claim. Another family member went here too and she claimed to find a bunch of cavities in their mouths too. What a wretched thing to do to people. Stay far away, she only wants your money. read more

Dr. Gordon has the magic touch. She works miracles! i remember my first visit and insecurities because i had such bad teeth. Until I came to see her! Not to mention her affordable 3 minute painless bleaching procedure (best thing ever). Dr. Gordon is not only my dentist but has now become my friend throughout the years of being her patient. She has such an amazing and friendly staff not to mention they are so entertaining at the same time. I definitely gained some confidence and smile every time I get a chance to show these teeth off. "SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND'' I extremely recommend Dr. Gordon read more

My family and I have been going here for many years. She is experienced, knowledgeable and kind. I dont live close by, but it's worth driving the distance. If you are looking for a new dentist, she is the best choice. read more

I HAVE COME HERE SINCE I WAS 4 YEARS OLD ! And have never left (: Now if youre looking for a gentle and soft handed dentist Melinda is not your gal, she's there to get he job done and thats all LOL but !! She does an AMAZING job at it so I dont mind her rough hand . My teeth are forever grateful to Melinda and Liza and Judy !! read more

Called today July 9th, 2014. Very frustrated with how my call was handled. First time client making appointment. I was discriminated for having DentiCal. Was placed on a 15 minute hold saying I needed to answer some questions first. After all the waiting got transferred to Voicemail. Then I call back, someone else answered the phone. I asked to make an appt as a first time client, this time I did not mention what type of insurance I had (nor was I asked) and I was offered an appointment 2 weeks out. Cant review Dr. Gordon as a dentist because I wont be taking that appointment. read more

Dr. Gordon and her staff were amazing! They are kind, professional, and efficient. I went in for a checkup and deep cleaning; they did it all in less than an hour. They make you feel relaxed and comfortable and you definitely do NOT feel rushed. I always go at least twice a year for a deep clean, and my experience with Dr. Gordon was by far the best! Thank you Dr. Gordon for my fun experience. read more

Review of Dr. Melinda Gordon - General Dentist Dr. Gordon and her staff are warm, friendly and caring folks. I've been seeing Dr. Gordon for many years and have passed her name on to many of my friends and co-workers! Her workmanship and costs are excellent and she does not encourage work or procedures, when none are needed. I've had crowns, regular cleanings, deep cleanings, bonding, bridgework and fillings and my son has also been a patient since he was little. I love the small office atmosphere and location that doesn't require enormous parking fees! I would highly recommend Dr. Gordon to any dental-phob!! read more

Dr. Gordon is a wonderful down to earth dentist. She does great work and is very gentile. My wife has had extensive work done here. If you have to go to the dentist it is a good place to be. read more

What a excellent dentist. Her and her assistant are so friendly and nice! I recommend her highly. The procedures I got during my visit usually hurt, but she made sure it didn't. As soon as I was done, i wanted to go back. Thank you, Melinda and Liz. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid, and it's been amazing from day one. Everyone here is very friendly, and they're spot on when it comes to certain issues with your teeth. After every appointment, my mouth feels refreshed and it's always a joy coming here. I will continue to come here for the rest of my life and I strongly recommend everyone around the San Fernando Valley area to come here. Doctor Gordon is a friendly woman and all of her assistants are just as friendly as well. And to cap this off, yes...equipment is updated. Some have said that it's ancient, but I didn't know MacBooks were THAT ancient. Whew, that last remark is a head scratcher. read more

She was very tentative with my fear of dentists because of previous trauma by others. Is very professional and has a great assistant. I am still in progress of a long journey to a healthy mouth but with her I believe I can get there without reverting to being afraid and not going back to the dentist. I have already recommended her and will continue to do so. read more

I was referred to Dr. Gordon by a friend of mine about 4 years ago, and am so glad he did. I don't care what kind of tools she has, she knows what she is doing and does it well. Her staff is always nice and makes me feel at home. I never have any pain and Dr. Gordon even calls after i've had major work done to make sure i'm alright and don't need any meds.. I would advise anyone looking for a good dentist that really cares about you and your teeth, to give Dr. Gordon a chance to prove what she has already has proven to me. read more

I choose to use Dr. Gordon because her attention to detail and her friendly nature. When I first started going here 3 years ago I was hesitant because I hated the dentist. I can honestly say after my first experience and interaction with Melinda and her staff all my worries went away. Not only does she have great equipment her professionalism/expertise is always on display. I even drive 35 minutes to see her now that I moved because I cant imagine finding a better dentist. I would 100% recommend going here for all my dental care! read more

I'm afraid of the dentist- the white coats, the smells, the noises and weird plastic-covered chairs. Don't even get me started on the equipment, or the scraping sounds AGGGGGH! It makes me want to run and hide. The last dentist I saw promised me a painless root canal, gave me pills and gas to knock me out. Then I woke up halfway through and could feel everything! It was a nightmare. And it explains why I didn't go back for over five years. Well, enough is enough. As a 27 year old, with four impacted wisdom teeth, I knew I had to make right by my mouth. So I swallowed my fears and rifled through the dentists on my insurance website. I am sexist. I picked Dr. Melinda Gordon because she was a woman. Women are better with scared people then men. Period. I made my appointment and walked through the door with sweaty palms. What would she find? It's been so long, I might have a catastrophic situation inside my mouth. Would I need fillings? Root canals? Bridges? Dentures? A jaw transplant? Would she shame me for not flossing twice a day, and for waiting so long for a cleaning? I lay back on the plastic chair, holding still as best I could and chanting "strong, silent, still" as she scraped the nasty from my teeth. She made some practical recommendations (Listerine plus Whitening to soothe my sensitive gums) and I kept chanting, my palms sweating ferociously. She kept asking if I was OK, and told me to lift my hand if I needed her to stop. I held my ground as she worked her way through my mouth. I reminded myself of the 8 hours I spend having the right side of my ribs tattooed. That was painful! This, scary and annoying, but manageable. Dr. Gordon and her assistant on each side of me, I felt reassured. Dr. Gordon referred me to an oral surgeon for my wisdom teeth, gave me a little goody bag of travel-sized toothpaste and floss, and sent me on my way. I feel a little less afraid of the dentist now, and that's a good thing! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Gordon for 25 years! I have nothing but good things to say about her and she's always been there when I needed her. And yes, her office is busy, so if it isn't an emergency, your appointment might be out a few weeks. For any medical professional, this is true - especially the good ones. So, for those of you who complain on here, plan ahead and don't wait so long for your mouth to get so messed up and then expect miracles. read more

i had went to dr. gordon for a second opinion as another dentist had told me i needed several thousand dollars or work well come to find out i did not and i was extremely happy and glad i found an honest dentist that was not into it for the money only......... i have refer-ed about 5 people to her an they were extremely happy, and as for there staff they were very nice professional and made me feel comfortable. read more

I've been visiting Dr. Gordon for over 10 years and that's simply because she's the best in LA. As a child I was always hesitant to visit the dentist because most were rough and unsympathetic to your needs, but Dr. Gordon always ensures that you are comfortable throughout your visit. read more

I visited Dr. Melinda on my cousin's recommendation and was not disappointed. She is easy going and funny. The staff are friendly and nice too. I felt comfortable and will keep visiting. I enrolled my wife and 2 kids too. I would recommend Dr. Melinda to my relatives and friends. read more

My family was with Dr. Gordon since 2005. Thanks to a friend who referred us. Those 10 years proved to be very satisfying for all our dental needs. Dr. Gordon and her staff have an excellent service, adjust to our needs and available schedule. The office is clean and the dental equipments are new. Feeling comfortable with them is a major reason why I don't change my Dentist and I'm sure you will experience it as well. read more

I was referred to Dr. Gordon through a friend, who highly recommended her. Like the other reviewers, I am afraid of the dentist and dreaded my appointment. I went to the office expecting the worst but was greatly relieved. The office staff was very welcoming and kind, only making me feel comfortable and less nervous about my check up. Dr. Gordon was gentle and constantly asked how I was doing. I would highly recommend those who read my review to go to Dr. Gordon. You will leave happy and so will your teeth! read more
