Best Dentist ever! Honest beyond belief! We moved to Oregon and still fly into see Dr. Van. The staff is amazing! This office deserves a much higher rating than 5 Stars. read more

I am honestly extremely impressed with the entire staff at this office. My mother in law had a problem arise and with no insurance we were forced to pay out of pocket. The front office girls immediately communicated when we walked in the office and were extremely polite. Dr. Van was truly so kind and I know put my mother in law at ease during her visit. We appreciate them being able to squeeze us in very last minute and provide top notch care. Thank you all so much! read more

Dr. Gary Van Grinsven and his team are fantastic! My kids love going to the dentist, especially with the anticipation of toys from the treasure box after their appointments. The staff is very accommodating, and Dr. Gary is incredibly patient with the kids. read more

A Dentist I really like and him and his staff do good honest work but I just ran into an issue with scheduling/staff. I had to do a last minute reschedule twice, and be warned they have a $75 reschedule fee, which is sometimes greater than my appointment depending on my insurance and services. I tolerate it as I do like him, but the 2nd time I was told with an upset tone I could not even schedule until I paid the $150 in rescheduling fees even though, for years, I never had a problem paying what they asked. I get rescheduling issues, but refusing to schedule for a long term patient unless i go to the office to pay or tell an upset/emotional staff member my credit card number is not something I am comfortable with. read more

By far the best dentist you can go to. Honest, excellent work, kind and helpful staff. I would never go anywhere else! Highly recommend!

Crystal the hygienist is the best I really hate to recommend her because she'll get too busy! Crystal really does a great job and is very knowledgeable, I just love her read more

Thank you Dr. Van for making the process of visiting a dentist, a visit of ease. From the moment you walk in the smiling faces behind the front desk welcome you knowing that everything will be ok. I appreciate the clarity in which you explain the process of the procedure you are about to conduct. Thank you for the laughs from the beginning, in between and the final procedure. Please don't retire any time soon. read more

Still my favorite dentist! We drove from Vegas to see him so I've updated my 20 miles to 240 miles, just to see Sandy and Dr. Van!!

This dental office was everything and more! I don't usually have high expectations for dental offices, just from my past experiences, but this place right away felt like home! They are very cautious with COVID which I can understand and appreciate, but that doesn't take away from them making you feel right at home as soon as you check in. They knew I was their new patient, which only meant they walked me through everything and introduced me to everyone. That's when I met Dr. Van. He is so awesome! Always making you laugh, and has a way of making you feel like family. I am so glad to finally be apart of a dentist office that I will look forward to going to. Highly recommended! read more

Everyone here is sooo nice. Today was probably my best experience at a dentist office. I'm also a big baby. Chrystal was so kind and understanding. She really made me feel comfortable during my whole visit. read more

My wife came in with a cracked front tooth from a recent fall and Dr. Van and his staff were great. She was a bit anxious and he was so calming, friendly and professional. We will both be back as a regular patients. read more

Dr. Van and his staff have provided a great experience with all members of my family. He explains all that he needs to do without feeling pressured. Easy to work with when having to change up appointments. He did very well making my son feel comfortable while his anxiety kicked in. So happy we found a dentist that my kids don't resist going to. read more

Van Grinsven Gary, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Really if I could give Dr. Van 10 stars I would. He is the Bomb really very nice and aware of your fears. I am very stressed when it comes to the dentist and when mine retired I had no idea what to do. I tried one other one in Santa Clarita no names needed but not impressed at all. My co-worker suggested Dr. Van and it was history he is the best. Great Staff very cool and comfortable vibe about the office. Honestly if they read these reviews I may get a call I am overdue. Check him out if you are looking for a dentist. read more

Love love love Dr. Van and his staff. He's always funny, kind and never hurts me. If you are looking for a excellent dentist he's your guy! ! Mahalo Nui Loa! !! read more

Dr Vans is the best dentist I've ever met. Honest, talented and hilarious! I recommend wholeheartedly.

If you have found this yelp page in search of a dentist, I would like to congratulate you because you have just won the dentist jackpot! Dr. Van and his staff are AMAZING. I really mean that--AMAZING. Finding a good dentist is like finding a good mechanic--super hard to find someone who will do the job right and is not trying to rip you off. Dr. Van and his staff are incredibly friendly, funny, calming and skilled. I needed a ton of dental work done--I went to another dentist (often has ads on the radio for cosmetic dentistry) and they quoted me a price that was in the range of a new (nice) car. I was so devastated because I wanted to fix my smile but there was no way I was able to afford that. Went to some other dentists as well but all the work they wanted to do was so segmented....it's like they wanted me to do the expensive things first and weren't concerned about what may be best for me in the long run and didn't care/have interest in figuring out how to best utilize my insurance. A coworker of my husband recommended Dr. Van and I cannot express how grateful I am for that referral! First off, Sandy is a master of figuring out how best to use your insurance. She is like an insurance wizard lol...usually I would just get blank stares and told that I needed to figure out what exactly my insurance would cover and we all know how confusing that can be. And the previous quote in the range of a new car from the other dentist??--Dr. Van did the work for literally about 1/15th of the cost. Even when I switched insurance and Dr. Van became out of network for me, I STILL was getting a better deal than with other places. He basically rebuilt my smile and I get compliments all the time on my teeth. He is a perfectionist and cares so much about the happiness of his patients and it truly shows. It means so much to have a dentist that I fully trust and I am so grateful everyday that I don't have to hide my teeth anymore. There is no way that you won't be 1000% satisfied with Dr. Van and his team!! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Van G to everyone . You will love him. Great staff, service, and what I like most is that he is honest in his work. He will let you know if something should really be fixed or be okay to leave alone if it is something minor. He takes his time and it really shows that he cares. He is the best dentist in the Santa clarita valley! read more

Best Dentist in SCV everyone I refer here says the exact same thing ... Dr. Van is funny, caring and has a caring staff. He is honest and kind. He is not one to tell u something false to get money from you. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Van and his wonderful Hygienist and office staff. I had been going to the same dentist for 20 years(who was also wonderful), but he was not a delta provider, so we needed to switch dentists for economics. I was very nervous about changing, but was immediately put at ease on entering Dr. Van's office and meeting him and his staff. Will be a regular customer for many years!!!! read more

Dr Van is by the far the best dentist in the scv. Highly recommend him to anyone. Very honest and up front.

Driving along Valencia Blvd looking for 23734 and I passed the cop shop, of course I had to look over there. Why is that ? Well I missed the address again ! ^#$&*, 23734 Got it ! , I don't see any Dentist office or sign, till I drove by twice; Don't look at the cop, shop ! Its across the street . Ok let's look at the directory, Gary VanGrinven DDS third floor, this must be him. As you can tell this is my first time in as many years. Yes "I'm bad". Meeting new people is always nice. However this place put a smile on my face from the moment I walked thru the doors, the lovely receptionist could sense my apprehension and handed me the clipboard and I stood right there and went thru the questions, I only embellished a bit At my age it is acceptable isn't it ? A stunning young lady invited me back and i was told I needed a full set of x-rays. Once this was done she walked me to the "RooM" Wow what a great view ! I can even see people in the parking lot; do you know how many people go back to their car right after locking it ? Another lady entered the room and said hi , I know there was a smile somewhere under the mask , but at first I had to stare , she told me to relay and the two ladies started my exam, 2,4,3,2,2,3,2,4,2,3,2, I got lost but was told my teeth were doing "ok" and the doctor will be in a few , I could see In the background and hear the laughter from this basketball size man walking back and forth , and I hear he is making coffee too ? What a guy ! Another moment goes by and the big shadow Dr. is looking over my x-rays, Yes he say's aloud the liver has to come out. This is how this office rolls ...... smiles, banter and laughter. I was shocked to hear I was in good shape, Dr. Van. Even consoled my concerns about what I thought were teeth issues. In my many years and in countless dentist offices this visit was the one that I'll carry for a long time along with the smile they ALL left me with. I will see you soon. But for now I'm all smiles. Thank you ! Gary read more

Had to have a cracked molar extracted yeeeeeessshhhh once again they all did their best to help me. Fan for life!!!

Words cannot describe this man's abilities and big heart. BEST dentist I've ever been to. LONG story short, I needed a tooth removed. Cracked crown, infected etc... I live in Georgia!!! Drove across the country to pick up my wife with this pain. At 1 am, Doctor Van woke up after a long day and didn't say ANYTHING except "Let's get that pain out of you!" Then to leave at almost 330 in the morning to be at work at 7. How many people, let alone doctors would do that. I have many friends and people in the SCV and will DEFINITELY be recommending to everyone. Thank you Dr. VAN, for everything. read more

Van Grinsven Gary, DDS - This guy is amazing!!!! Wish we had you on the East coast Dr. Van. - General Dentistry Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Dr. Van is the best dentist in SCV/Valencia area. I took my daughter (7 yrs) to him. Dr. Van extracted baby tooth which was bothering her. Dr. Van did that very professionally and he talked with her throughout the procedure and she didn't even knew when Dr Van was done! I have very bad teeth but like me Dr Van believes in saving tooth structure rather than recommending implant for everyone. He is very knowledgeable and very professional in his work. Unfortunately I'm moving out of the area. Not sure whether I'll be able to find dentist like him at new place. His staff is very understanding and adjusted appointments according to my schedule. I can recommend him to anyone. read more

Dr. Van. Just amazing!! Many years ago before Dr. Van, my old dentist began to change. Rather than taking care of my teeth as always, I began to notice I seemed to be needing a lot more dental work than usual. Sharing this experience over the years I learned that much of dentistry was becoming a business of selling rather than just curing. Fast forward to now. I still have yet to have seven fillings done that I had been told were necessary by other dentists literally decades ago! My wife had a similar experience after leaving her old dentist. We have saved thousands of dollars and avoided unnecessary dental work. Dr. Van does great work. He makes going to the dentist as pleasant as can be. The staff is friendly and helpful. He does what your teeth honestly need. Just like my old dentist decades ago before the change. read more

Some family friends recommended Dr. Gary for my father. My dad is 95 and relocated here from out of state. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. The important part is the doctor is very good and is doing all he can to save a troubled tooth. I appreciate his conservative approach. If I move this way, I know where I will be going for my dental needs. read more

I really enjoyed Dr. Van and his team! They were direct, simple, clear and incredibly helpful. Dr. Van has a fun personality that takes the nerves out of dental work, yet he's thorough and professional. I highly recommend if you're looking for a great dentist at affordable pricing. I don't have insurance so it was really nice to go somewhere as a new patient and not spend a fortune! Thanks :) read more

The best dentist ever. Honest. Reliable. Caring. Considerate. He will not and has never tried to get more money by a false or inaccurate diagnosis. His work is superb. He is friendly and has a great sense of humor. He's been my dentist for over 7 years and I will never look for another. His practice my gold standard. read more

This guy and his staff are top notch!! Bad experience with the dentist as a kid kept me very inconsistent as an adult. Didn't want the same for my kids. My bro and his wife told me about the Van Man. Now my kids and I LOVE THEM! And who can say they love their dentist? We can. My kids are always excited to go see Dr.Van and Judy. Always feels like we're just visiting friends. Love you guys xoxo #bestdentistinSCV read more

Great dentist and staff. Every appointment over the past 5 years have been very pleasant for my entire family. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Dr Van is the best dentist ever. I have been going to him for several years now. He is honest and reasonably priced. I moved from California to Eagle, ID. and I still go to him. I travel back and forth and I make sure I make an appointment with him when I am in town. His staff is great and I always look forward to seeing them. I highly recommend him, I cannot say enough good things about him. read more

No laughing gas required. The Van Grinsvens and staff are the one stop for your whole family's dental needs that will have you laughing instead of crying. I have experienced Dr. Van's professionalism many times over the years, and he never disappoints. He puts his patients at ease with his wit and charm, and a check up or even a filling seems to be over in a heartbeat. I have been to other dentists that pushed to sell whitening or some other unnecessary services, but Dr. Van doesn't push anything that isn't needed and will always let you know your options without any personal agenda other than earning another life-long customer. I whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Van and his staff for customers of all ages. I have been a fly on the wall as he put children, teens, and adults at ease and helped take care of their teeth while never losing his bedside manner. He has also been very accomodating for my wife and me with emergency dental help. I'm glad that I let Dr. Van Grinsven take care of my grin....You will be glad if you do, too. read more

Dr.Van is the BEST!!! He will make you love going to the Dentist and will definitely give you the complete opposite experience of the Dentist stereotype. He's honest, funny and the staff is so nice! I live in Chatsworth and make the drive to him because he's worth it! read more

Dr Van has been our family dentist for many years. The care and expertise we have received during that time had changed me into to someone who doesn't dread the dentist's office. It is a family run office with long time, loyal staff who care about every aspect of care. I highly recommend this practice! read more

I have been going to Dr. Van for over twenty years. Wouldn't even think about going anywhere else!

Dr. Van Grinsven is an incredible dentist! Not only is he very knowledgeable, experienced, and invested in giving his patients the best care possible, but he works very hard to also make his patients feel comfortable! The last place and time I would expect to start laughing is when I am on a dentist's chair with someone preparing to drill into my teeth.... but Dr. Van Grinsven somehow makes this happen! He is also invested in doing the least amount of intervention needed, where other dentists might be influenced by the financial benefits of doing more. He explains everything he recommends, and lays out all of the options. He clearly enjoys his work. His office staff is equally warm and friendly. Dr. Van and his staff truly make going to the dentist a pleasant experience. read more

Dr. Van, Mrs. Van and staff are completely wonderful. Had a traumatic experience when I was younger and I only trust my teeth to Dr. Van now, totally helped me over my phobia. Makes you laugh and doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need, basically doesn't cater to the insurance companies. Dont even mind driving from SF Valley to go see him. Thank you very much! read more
