I have been referred to SVP three times from my regular dentist and am always impressed by their…read moreprofessionalism, courtesy and expert work. While periodontic work is never painless, they do what they can to make it as comfortable, quick and stress-free as possible. The office staff are always honest and helpful. While I have had them forget things occasionally, like sending in a prescription, they're quick to own up to their mistake and correct it. I do have two minor complaints about this office though, which aren't deal killers. One is that they do not process all of your benefits for you. I have AFLAC Dental for supplemental coverage, and their office will not file those claims. They instead insist that I submit these myself. What makes this awkward is that AFLAC will often pay THEM instead of me, so I have to drive back in to get reimbursed. This has happened twice now, and it's inconvenient and a little annoying. Two is just a personal thing. Their office decor is weird, discomforting and a little bizarre. Huge cast figures in gold of human bodies on the wall. Black velour furniture. And dozens of blank white shelves filled with what looks like small round plastic fake plants. It's like being surrounded by an army of chia pets. It's not a warm, relaxing atmosphere, but it's a minor thing that doesn't reflect on their work at all. I'm sure there's a professional decorator in Simi who could fix this in a day or two. Other than that, they are a perfect 10...

I have a life-long terror of dentists. So, when I say that Dr. Natasha Yashar's office is a refuge…read morefor the anxious and a sanctuary for the dental-phobic, that means a lot. Everything here is on point. The waiting room is drenched in warm lighting and filled with comfortable seating and tasteful décor. Nothing feels clinical, so it's easy to relax. The front desk staff greet patients warmly--they're all beyond lovely! In fact, the entire team is amazing. From the hygienist who somehow made the cleaning (dare I say) fun, to the technician who took my x-rays with care and consideration, everyone here seems to operate with the same blend of professionalism and compassion. As someone who's avoided dentists for years due to severe anxiety, I went to my first appointment with dread. Prior experiences left me freaked out because I was really worried about pain, the procedures weren't explained, and my questions were ignored. The periodontist I saw before Dr. Yashar was overtly rude and acted annoyed by anything I asked, so I just never went back. Dr. Yashar's approach couldn't be more different. She has that rare combination of technical excellence and exceptional bedside manner. During our consultation, she walked me through my situation with remarkable clarity. Most importantly, she just made me feel relaxed! I think that what truly sets this practice apart is how the whole team has transformed something I feared into something I can manage without a full-blown panic attack. The extensive procedure I need, one I'd postponed for years out of terror, will finally get done. If you're like me and you've spent years avoiding necessary dental care due to anxiety, if you've felt dismissed or have been rushed through previous appointments, or if you just want a really stellar periodontist, Dr. Yashar is beyond amazing!

Much to my surprise, my pleasant visit to Dr. Tokuyama has completely changed my view on what a visit to the dentist can be. She is unbelievably gentle, humble, and sweet. She also went above and beyond to make me as comfortable as possible, and ensured I was in zero pain. I truly wish I had gone sooner - that's how much I love this practice. I don't want to single her out in my praises, however. The staff in general was amazing. I had the most interaction with Yvonne who was just a sweetheart. I don't want to end this review without mentioning the pricing. Long story short, they're very reasonable, and much more affordable than other practices in the same area. To sum my review up, I am actually looking forward to my next visit with Dr. Tokuyama. It's kind of mind blowing that a great dentist can make you excited about the health of your teeth. Thanks, doc!

If you find yourself in my situation , chose your dentist wisely, I luckily chose Jeremy Wilgus. I arrived on time and was immediately attended to by a bevy of smiling faces, all so friendly and comforting. Brenda H. Set up the I V for the sedative, yeah, I choose to sleep through the procedure. Brenda definitely had done this before, the I V was painless. As we waited for the Dentist, Brenda showed me some of the supplies that would be used and explained the procedure. This was done in a very relaxed and calm manner, which helped soothe my nerves. Doctor Wilgus arrived and calmly explained what I should expect and how to care for my mouth afterwards. After the sedative was administered we talked for about a minute and I was out. My next recollection was waking after the procedure. Other then feeling a bit groggy, I experienced no pain. In the week following the procedure, today, I've experienced very little discomfort, I was really pleasantly surprised, the procedure I dreaded was over and it wasn't bad at all. Actually, other than eating soft food, it was no big deal. This is the place to go for a case such as mine, you will be pleasantly surprised!

I'm leaving this review on behalf of my son, who had a truly disappointing experience here. While…read morethe dentist seemed kind at first, the service and professionalism here have gone downhill over the years. On two occasions, he's driven an hour from college for an appointment, only to be told he wasn't on the schedule after they had booked the date for him. Most recently, he showed up and was informed he was no longer in network -- with zero advance notice. The office is disorganized, communication is poor, front desk management is rude and the whole experience has been nothing but headaches. I'm honestly surprised by the positive reviews here because we've never experienced anything close to this kind of mess at a dental office. We're moving my son to my personal dentist, who is wonderful. I would strongly recommend finding another office if you don't want confusing billing/paperwork, headaches around being told you're suddenly out of network (we have amazing insurance) and mistakes on your appointments.

I have been a perio patient for 18 years and have seen several periodontists in three different cities around the country. Dr Wasserstein is literally the only one who did not want me to keep my teeth even though my hygiene is excellent and they are still in place. Multiple dentists have commented on the fact that I have good pocket depth and low mobility and in spite of my bone loss and recession I juggle multiple health issues and have worked very hard to keep my teeth, but all he had was needless negativity. He said "I'm not a fan" with regards to my keeping them instead of just getting implants right away. And he offered no actual reasons as to why he was pushing me to get implants when they aren't needed at the moment. He certainly would have profited, while I would have had to go through surgery before needing it.
