Dr Woolard is a gangster and I can not recommend her enough. I've been looking for a good dentist who understands anxiety for 15 years and I believe I finally found "the one"! She's smart, the office is well organized, the billing is super transparent, the whole staff is kind and I truly believe she makes treatment plans for her patients like she would herself. 10/10 can't recommend enough! read more

Terrible dentist with horrible bedside manner. Do NOT go to her for Invisalign, she will damage your jaw and bite. Do not be mislead by her preferred partner with Invisalign, she does not know what she is doing. In addition, she caused an infection because she left pieces of material in my gum, had to go to a specialist who asked who did the work because it was a terrible job and had to remove the impacted pieces from my gums that caused me pain and suffering for 3 weeks. She will not admit to any errors. DO NOT GO. If you are unhappy with anything she will become extremely rude. She should not be practicing dentistry and her license should be revoked. read more

I'm a retired surgeon. Because I know medical competence , compassion for patients, professional integrity, and a clean clinical environment I drive 90 miles round trip to receive dental care in this office and have been doing so for many years. Enough said....... Richard Hahn MD read more

Update! It's been 5 months and my face is still messed up. Thanks Woolard! So glad you mess up your customers and then don't take any steps to providing any good faith duty of fixing them. Don't make the mistake I did. It may change your life for the worse. read more

I would like to personally thank Dr. Woolard for making me feel like a valued member of her dental family. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm for her work was definitely contagious, and her dedication to creating a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere was greatly appreciated. Her entire team was absolutely outstanding and I like to specifically thank Carly for being so professional, understanding and helpful. I believe that she is an extremely valuable asset to her establishment and as such should be recognized and rewarded by her peers and management for a job well done. Thank you all for making such a huge difference! Regards, Joseph Salehi read more

Best dentist experience I have ever had. Everyone from the receptionist to the assistants and Dr Woolard are friendly and professional. I felt taken care of the entire time and they explained clearly why they do certain things or recommend certain procedures. They have the technology to scan and show you your teeth so you can see for yourself exactly what the problems are and how to fix them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to find a new dentist. read more

Dr. Woolard did a spectacular job educating me on what my teeth needed, she explained my root canal procedure thoroughly, and did an incredible job executing the work. I was very lucky to have her in a time of need, I am 100% relieved of all my pain, and I'm happy to know that I have a reliable, compassionate, and amazing dentist now! read more

Nilda M. Woolard, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Valencia, California

A lot of hidden fees , she lied about things to make more money off me ! Ok dentist real good hustler !

Horrible service and very unprofessional. The dentist there is very condescending and is not honest. I was over charged for fillings and when I brought up the price I was given before my visit they agreed they made a mistake. If I would've not caught the mistake they would have taken advantage of me. The dentist also hurt me when she was injecting anaesthesia. I felt a shock of electricity on the left side of my face. She right away tried to steer away from any wrongdoing by saying she pulled the needle out right away and it wasn't her fault. After this happened she was very rude and the entire visit was very unpleasant. She went as far as sending me a letter stating I could not go back to her office and she had no substance behind her decision. I don't recommend this establishment to anyone needing the bare minimum of dental care. Dentist Woolard is dishonest and she is a disgrace to the rest of the dental care community. read more

I love this dentist. Very friend staff and clean office. I am terrified of the dentist but Dr. Woolard is very gentle. The dental hygienist is very gentle as well. I can't say I'm totally relaxed when getting my teeth cleaned but I'm not in pain either when it's done. read more

This is by far the best dental office I've ever been to! The staff are extremely friendly and cater to you very well. Mitzi is an absolute delight! Gina and Carly have been extremely sweet and work very well with my schedule. Dr. Woolard is beyond amazing! I drive from Culver City to this office since I've consistently enjoyed my experience every time. Who enjoys going to the dentist?? You will after coming here read more

BEST dentist I have had in my life. I neglected my dental health until my teeth started to hurt. Dr. Nilda was able to save my molar without bone surgery or removal. I received a root canal and crown and the crown was perfect and felt like a real tooth. Dr. Nilda was honest and truthful and told me what I needed to do in order to fix my teeth and maintain them. I also ordered an Invisalign night guard to protect my teeth at night. Everyone in the office from the front administrative staff to the hygienist and assistants are incredible and personable. This will be my dentist forever. Thank you Woolard dental. read more

I came across Dr. Woolard office because I was dissatisfied with my previous dentist in the out Regis charges that they were trying to make me pay as well as the lack of bedside manner and just caring and compassion towards my situation. Nilda helped me feel comfortable and cared for and she gave me some honest truth but in a way that didn't make me feel uncomfortable and Kevin did an amazing job with the cleaning. Her office staff are professional and have very good customer service. read more

After years of putting off braces, I went to Dr. Woolard to start my orthodontic journey. I got my braces on in July of 2017 and they were taken off in February of 2019. In just about a year and a half, Dr. Woolard was able to completely transform my smile and bite. She was very patient and encouraging throughout the whole process. Her assistants Laura and Dianne were amazing at every progress appointment, making sure I had all my questions answered and wires switched out in under 30 minutes. I can now smile with more confidence thanks to Dr. Woolard! read more

Nilda M. Woolard, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Valencia, California

I never in my life thought the words "I love my dentist" would come out of my mouth but its true. Dr Nilda Woolard and her entire team of professionals have taken care of our family for over 10 years and I've recommended her to friends. I had extensive dental work done (as a result of being lifelong teeth grinder) and Dr Woolard took the time to explain what she is going to do, what I need to do to take care of my teeth and she is thorough and efficient. When she starts to hum, you know that's when she's going to get to work on your teeth but it oddly, makes the experience more calming for me. Can't recommend her and her team enough :) Tanya Haight read more

I'm ridiculously scared of going to the dentist. Embarrassingly so for an adult! Coming here and seeing Dr. Woolard made me less scared. She's super sweet. She's very quick and efficient, while still being thorough. Definitely a dentist I would recommend to friends :) read more

I would like to recommend this Amazing Dentistry! @ DR. Woolard's prices are beyond competitive and her knowledge is beyond measure. Not only does she fix your teeth but she will also teach you how to take care of them yourself at home in between visits. She's honest, dependable, reliable, safe, affordable, knowledgeable, friendly, thorough, professional, experienced, qualified, competent, skilled, careful, kind, friendly, oh and did I mention HONEST & TRUSTWORTHY!?! If you are looking for integrity in a world full of such uncertainty than Dr. Nilda Woolard Dentistry is it!!! Our family couldn't be more thankful for the care she puts into each and every client, and your family could not be in better hands!! Thanks & Blessings Always! read more

Dr Woolard has been my family dentist for 10+ years. My children and I all see her. She is kind and gentle. Her staff are friendly. They all truly care about you. They offer options with your services. It's not just a cookie cutter office. Thank you Dr Woolard and staff for taking care of us. read more

My husband and I have been coming to Dr. Woolard as our dentist since 2003 (and before having our 3 children!) I have always been impressed with her professionalism, as well as friendship that we have built over the years. Our 3 kids have never seen another dentist, and since Dr. Woolard does braces too, 2 of the 3 kids have braces with her now! One year, our dental insurance changed and I had to see another dentist. (I am an every 6 month person) That dentist told me that I had a cavity and it could possibly turn into a root canal! I was floored! I called Dr. Woolard's office after leaving my appointment and she had me come right in... I did NOT have a cavity! That was 11 years ago. Needless to say, our dental insurance was changed that month, and hence the reason I won't take my kids to another dentist. She's honest, reliable, and trustworthy. I've purposely chosen dental coverage based off if she's a provider! You won't be disappointed!! 5 stars all the way! read more

While Carly & Mitzi at the desk are quite nice, and Julio was a great hygienist, I wish I had never walked into this office. After having Dr. Woolard fill a tooth, the pain began and the filling fell out. She redid it after the holidays and it fell out again. The pain continued and increased in intensity. When Dr. Woolard saw me again she blamed me for the filling coming out (this has never happened to me before and it has never happened since). She wanted to try again with a *temporary* filling because she thought I might now need a root canal. (I was nowhere near needing anything to that degree when I walked in.) I ended up going to another dentist who fixed it immediately and was pretty stunned at Dr. Woolard's synopsis of the problem. It took two weeks to get my dental records sent over after sending half a dozen messages asking for them with no suggestion of a solution for the financial, physical, and time-consuming problem they created for me. The dentist seemed more frustrated by my dissatisfaction rather than attempting to offer reassurance, apologize, or make it right. Real bummer. Also, they do not have nitrous oxide (laughing gas) in the office for procedures. My initial google review was made because they offer "gifts" to patients for reviews. read more

I had an infected tooth, could not get anyone to see me. I called Woolard Dental and they saw me immediately and helped stop the pain. Great experience. read more

My family and I have been coming here since 2004. My kids have never been afraid of coming to the dentist, unlike I was when I was a kid. They are very accommodating and friendly. It's a one dentist practice and the wait is never long. It's clean and parking is ample. Best of all, the staff treat us like family. read more

I am so glad I found Dr. Woolard for my dentist. She is so incredibly kind and funny, and is always singing along to the radio. The girls at the front desk are so helpful with my tough schedule (thank you Grace!), and always willing to accommodate me if something unexpected comes up. I am so glad I found my new dentist! read more

We have Delta Dental HMO and it's an understatement to say that the list of dentists to choose from is very disappointing. Lots of dental groups come up and there seem to be a high number of let's just say similar sounding positive reviews. However mixed into these reviews are often horrible statements by dissatisfied clients. I wasn't going to fall for this. I wanted a genuine standalone dentist, not a Dental Group. I asked around and someone recommended Dr Woolard. I was shocked she even took this insurance but she does. So I made my first appointment. Dental insurance often pays very little and dentists are often quick to recommend procedures that may not be necessary or aren't covered by insurance. I have spent countless hours in dental offices and I can recognize a sales pitch a mile away. I'm always skeptical. Thankfully, I did not get this Vibe with Dr Woolard. She is just a no-nonsense dentist. She did some work on my teeth and I liked her style. For the first time in a long time I felt comfortable dealing with the dentist. I was so happy that I decided to have her do crowns on all my front teeth. I have been putting this off for some time and knew I needed this. I wanted to find the right dentist to do this since this would involve significant out-of-pocket expenses. Dr. Woolard does not use one of these in house machines to create crowns. I have been told by someone on the inside that it is better to have a crown made in a lab with a multimillion-dollar machine instead of a crown made in an office with a $100,000 machine. I asked and they use glidewell labs for their crowns. I checked with my contact and was told that they are an excellent lab and well respected. Long story short, I had her do my crowns. I could not be happier with the fit and appearance. I could tell she took great care when putting them in and adjusted them to make sure that they were perfect. I told her that they were fine and she insisted on continuing to work on them until they were perfect by her standards. On top of all this, the staff is excellent. I live a very busy life and don't have time to deal with nonsense like teeth cleanings. So I appreciate that the staff calls me to remind me. When I tell them that I am extremely busy and try me in a couple weeks, they actually call me and remind me. I need a dentist like this. I was so happy that my wife started going there and I started taking my kids there as well. I then discovered that several friends of mine are also long-time customers of hers. I feel like I have found a Hidden Gem. Just a note, her office is nothing fancy. Sure I miss going to the fancy dentist in Beverly Hills with the water feature in the lobby. But then again, I guess I was paying for that with all the extras that they always seem to be selling me. On another note, she may have saved my life. They actually took my blood pressure and she told me that my blood pressure was high. Specifically she spelled it out in a language that I would understand. She told me that I needed to go to my doctor immediately upon leaving her office. I actually trusted her and did so. My doctor was alarmed and now I'm on medication to correct a high blood pressure issue. Doctor Woolard genuinely seemed to care and urged me to not play around with this. I could not be happier. read more

First time coming here and I will be a permanent patient moving forward. My teeth have not been the best and I've been hesitant since again my teeth have not been the best coming here they have reassure everything will be okay and I am ready to take my teeth health seriously. They are the best out of the best! read more

So my mom went to this place, this lady is not a dentist at all !! She's a scammer !!! She went to get her teeth fixed and she did a horrible job at it. My mom had pain for weeks and would go back to her so she can fix it... Obviously she's not a dentist at all she couldn't find what the problem was. Nilda was supposed to put three crowns on her and she did not do a good job at it.. they kept falling off and Nilda would blame my mom for it. She even recommended my mom to go back next year that way she can take my moms insurance money again because for the current year the insurance wouldn't cover it. On top of insurance my mom had to pay $3000 dollars of her pocket. From another review that I see here she recommends the same thing to most people.... she recommended my mom to use a mouth guard at night because she "grinds her teeth at night" even tho she doesn't. My mom spent over $50 for a mouth guard something I believe she should provide. My mom went to another dentist and and he didn't even want to work on Nildas work because it was so bad of a job. Also she told my mom she had a cavity really close to the root canal and the other dentist said she didn't even have cavities. Most good reviews are fake, she even told me to write a good review even she had not done work on me. Please do not go to this place all they want is your money!!! Scam to the max !! Look at the other 1 star reviews she doesn't do a good job. read more

Great staff and great atmosphere. Very welcoming, I felt genuinely cared for and comfortable.

Was a new patient with lot of work needing to be done and the whole office was super helpful. From the doctor herself to the nurses. They put a payment plan together and was patient in helping me get as much work as I could done with the yearly allowance from the insurance. I'm very grateful for all the help they they are continuing to give me. I definitely recommend Dr Woolard to anyone looking for a dentist. read more

Dr Woolard and staff are amazing!!! .... you feel the warm hearts from each and everyone of them... feels more like family than a regular dental office... their always caring and always lets you know what's going to be done and the cost before they start any treatment... two thumbs up in my book!!! read more

Dr. Woolard has been my family dentist for 10 years now and we have been extremely satisfied with her and her team. Dr. Woolard has been able to address my dental care needs including filings and crowns without excessive charges. Her front office staff is courteous and kind. While Dr. Woolard is performing dental services, she is gentle and ensures that I am comfortable and know what steps she will be taking next. All procedures and costs are explained thoroughly. The hygienists take ample time to do a teeth cleaning. Between Dr. Woolard and her hygienists, you leave with all the tools necessary to make your teeth last a lifetime. I am very appreciative if this dental office and continue to drive 45 minutes from my home to see Dr Woolard. read more

Dr Woolard is an exceptional dentist who is honest and very professional. She replaced a bridge and she and her staff were very competent. I am happy with all the dental work done. I recommend Dr Woolard to others. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Woolard for 20 years. The office staff are all friendly, efficient and professional. All treatment costs are disclosed before any work is done so there are never any surprises. The overall vibe of the office is low stress and relaxed. Dr Woolard is very gentle and explains treatment options clearly. She's easy to talk to and very open to answer any questions you might have. I recently had some fairly extensive dental work done and I couldn't be happier with the results. :) read more

Dr. Woolard and staff are amazing and super sweet! It had been years since I had gone in to a dentist because of bad past experiences but as soon as I walked in they made me feel very comfortable.

So glad I found them! I would highly recommend coming here read more

I have been going to Dr. Woolard since I was a teenager. I'm 38 now and even though I live an hour away this is the only place I will come to get my cleanings and anything else I need for my teeth! The staff is wonderful, patient, always willing to help. Dr. Woolard sings and hums when she is working on you and so you are automatically relaxed even if you're in the middle of a filling! I love this dental office. read more

Me and my family have been coming to Dr Woolard for years. She and her staff are always friendly and professional. My work insurance changed at one time a couple years back, forcing us to try a couple of other dentists in the area, but none really compared. We're glad to be back! read more

Dr. Woolard has been my family's dentist for more than fifteen years. I really like her style. She always explains what she is going to do before she starts cleaning, numbing, drilling, etc. She is very gentle and considerate during a procedure, taking the time to ask how I am doing and if I feel any pain. Dr. Woolard is excellent with kids, too. My son started seeing her when he was three years old and still looks forward to coming in for check ups. My husband and I are both impressed by the thorough cleanings we have received from Debora. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Diane and Mitzi have always been so helpful and kind when it comes to scheduling appointments and dealing with insurance and billing questions. We are very grateful for the wonderful care we have received from Dr. Woolard and her staff over the years. read more

Love the entire team! Extremely caring, professional, knowledgeable and kind. They all put you at ease the moment you arrive! Dr. Woolard puts the P in perfection and talks you through every step.

My family has been coming to Dr Woolard for 15 years. I have 4 children that are grown now and still come to her office! Although not described as a "pediatric" practice this office has ALWAYS had an environment and friendliness that made my young children feel welcomed and comfortable and safe. We love our "singing" dentist. read more

My friend is terrified of dentists. Mostly because she doubts that they are genuine. Every dentist in the past has tried to extort her for her benefits. This is not true of Dr. Woolard. This dentist she is wonderful. I made an appointment for my friend and she begrudgingly went. When we first arrived the staff was very friendly and caring. Still my friend was hesitant. They took her to the back room and the staff attended to her very well. She told them the issue and everyone including Dr. Woolard actually listened to her about her tooth pain. They took care of her issue and didn't try to push her to do anything extra. She was quite pleased. She actually can't wait to go back and get all her teeth cleaned and checked. Overall the experience with Dr. Woolard was very pleasant. How often do you hear that in a review? The song the dentist was humming was a favorite as well. We highly recommend this dentist. Friendly staff and knowledgeable dentist who took care of a problem that no other dentist even bothered with doing. read more

I've been going to Dr. Woolard since I was 15. I am not 32 and I can't imagine going to anyone else. She always puts me at ease when I get my dental cleanings. I love coming to her!
