Out of necessity I chose Dr. Dan because it was relatively close to the kids' school. I always found that he talked way too much and I grew suspicious of how constantly staff changed at his office. Not just the dental hygienists, but also the front desk people. It is always someone new who doesn't know your kid. But the biggest annoyance is, and this happened multiple times, I would get a reminder for an appointment that had changed. At least three different times they changed my kids' appointments and didn't tell me until they were reminding me of the appointment. Plus, even though they're in network, they always seem to charge me for something. Not only do they find a way to charge you even though you're going in-network, this time they tried to charge me over $600 because they told me my insurance denied it. When I pushed them further, they realized it was a billing error on their part. They could have stolen $600 from me without me really understanding that. Plus, we live in a day and age where as a family of color it matters to me how people are voting and how people see my family and I just don't want to patronize people who vote against human rights of women and people of color. read more

I liked the staff and the office. I didn't like waiting for almost one hour after having an appointment and arriving on time. I didn't like the truly excessive pricing for just a simple cleaning. Would not recommend at all, but I am happy for those who liked it there. read more

If you care about long term oral hygiene for your kids, this is where you go. Why? Well, the office and layout is very inviting to the children and the parents. The staff friendly and Dr. Dan, a father as well, know how important it is to like to go to the dentist. The office is also set up where if you have more than one child, all three of you are in the same room and that is comforting and relaxing to the kids and the parents. No bouncing worried between two rooms. There's headphones and iPads for the kids to watch and so many flavors to choose from. State of the art equipment also puts the kiddos at ease and it's all about a positive experience with ultimate care. The recommendations have been spot on and my kids listen! Oh and my kids love the treasures and gift bags - like a party! Seriously, great oral care starts with a caring dentist and staff and this is the place. read more

Dr Dan is amazing! We were so impressed by him and his staff and how much they were able to accomplish in terms of examining my little one's teeth. Yes it was her first visit, no I was not expecting much but he was even able to do a fluoride treatment without much fight from my daughter. Very sweet and patient Dr. highly recommend him for your kids. Loved his waiting room and his nurse was so sweet as well! read more

Dr. Dan is amazing with young kids. He is passionate and knowledgeable about dentistry. The facility is clean and high tech. He and His staff are all very friendly. They make dentist visits for the kids fun and enjoyable! read more

When I say Dr. Dan is an answered prayer I am not exaggerating. I previously took my 6 year old to her dentist who had recommended 5 baby root canals and crowns. They refused to treat her without general anesthesia so I opted for a second opinion and was recommended to Dr. Dan. He was very informative , knowledgeable and focused on future preventative care as well as treatment without anesthesia. He was very assuring and gentle with my daughter and made sure her comfort was priority. There wasn't even a need for any root canals. The staff from the front desk receptionist to the dental assistants who helped us today were welcoming and professional. I am so thankful to Dr. Dan and his team for taking care of my little girl. read more

Today was my son's first dental check up. We both had a fantastic experience! My 19 months old had a great time. From the moment we stepped in to the lobby up to the time seeing Dr Dan everyone was extremely warm, friendly and welcoming. The facilities were also clean and organized. Very inviting for little ones. Matthew was great at keeping my son comfortable at all times while we waited for Dr Dan. He was so patient, caring, and very accommodating. Dr Dan was amazing as well. All the reviews about him and his staff are on point. Dr Dan is very knowledgeable and he also made sure my son was comfortable during the evaluation at all times. I can't give enough stars to this practice. I will definitely continue bringing my son in. Dr Dan and team, thank you all for going up and beyond! The practice is located inside a plaza. It was very accessible to go in/out. I came in this morning and there were plenty parking spaces. No parking fees! read more

We love Dr. Dan! My son has "problem teeth". We visited a number of dentists before finally finding someone who really took good care of his teeth. Unfortunately she sold her practice and we were stuck looking for another dentist. It was stressful, but then we found Dr. Dan. We have been going to him for over a year now. Every visit is stress free. I no longer worry if I will come out of the dentist with recommendations for more work. My son loves Dr. Dan too! read more

We absolutely love Dr. Dan. We started going when my son was a little over a year old. All the staff and Dr. Dan are so patient and really know how to work with children. The whole experience is so calm and relatively stress free. My son went in yesterday (he's a little over two now) and after he said "I love doctor!" and was asking to go back (perhaps because I told him he could only get lollipops from Dr. Dan's office, but still, an amazing sentiment from a toddler about a dentist's office). read more

Dr. Dan, his associates and his office crew are AMAZING. Visits are pain free, hassle free and we always leave feeling like we've had the best experience. Our child has never received better dental care in his life. Dr. Dan has given our kiddo confidence in his daily tooth care routine and made it fun in the process. I recommend Dr. Dan to everyone I meet and everyone who asks. Easily the best for piece of mind, experience, and level of care. read more

Very nice office and Dr. Dan was great but I would not recommend this place unless you do have dental insurance. It was way way more expensive than other places just for a routine check up that lasted literally 5min. read more

The BEST pediatric dentist!!!! (We have tried several dentists, and no one compares!) We are so thankful we found Dr Dan! Our two year old wouldn't let anyone look at his teeth, (chipped his tooth etc.) Other dentist's said "kids cry, lay him down." Not Dr Dan! He took his time and made him feel so comfortable. No tears. So wonderful. He was also was so kind to us, the parents, when I expressed my guilt for his teeth, Dr Dan told me "No mom-guilt allowed here." He's truly been a gift to our family. We used to be so anxious about dentist appts, but not anymore. Highly recommend him. Both locations are great. read more

I found Dr Dan when I was searching for a pediatric dentist to take an emergency- daughter developed an abscess. Not only did Dr. Dan walk us through his process but he also kept us, as parents calm, and our daughter even calmer. He did an amazing procedure to solve our issue and treated our daughter amazingly. He and his staff are so caring. Even more so, they are so knowledgeable and professional. Words cannot describe how grateful i am to Dr Dan. Highly recommend him! Truly cares about his patients and their families. read more

Amazing staff. Dr. Dan really knows how to handle each and every aspect during patient visit. He is knowledgeable, caring and so fun with kids, even a complicated treatment like tooth extraction in kids makes it look so easy. read more

Dr Dan and his staff are amazing . Really professional and most importantly provides an environment that makes my 5 year old not afraid of going to the dentist . Happy smiles every time. read more

I'm not kidding when i say this place is THE BEST!! As a parent with childhood dental trauma - it was imperative to me to find a gentle, fun and safe pediatric dentist that my daughter would love! And love is an understatement. My 3 year old talks about her times at the dentist weekly (she's only been twice lol) because it's truly her favorite place! They are so educational and keep it so fun for her! She walks out with toys and and a huge smile on her face! It's truly a treat for both of us. I've already recommended and sent another mama friend there with her toddler! Best place ever!!!! read more

Amazing! Dr. Dan and staff are so kind and patient with the kids and give excellent care.

Our 13 month old daughter fell and was bleeding around her tooth. It's Labor Day weekend, Saturday night, we called Dr. Dan and left a message. He called back and after a few minutes on the phone had already put my mind at ease. He was very sympathetic in the way he asked questions, and it was reassuring how he laid out what to expect, what to look for, and what to do next. We're really thankful for Dr. Dan being so thoughtful and caring! read more

If you're lucky enough to find Dr. Dan, your search is over!! After a pretty awful first dental experience at another local practice, I decided to look around and see if I could find somewhere else for my 2yr old. How lucky we were to find Dr. Dan!! He really means it when he says he takes the time to get to know the child & make them comfortable. They go above & beyond, they even gave my son a 'playdate' for his first appointment to help him relax. While I'm sure all children don't need this, it was much appreciated and made the world of difference to us. You can tell they really care about the child's experience, they have so many awesome tricks, my son was having the best time in the end. Dr. Dan & his team from the minute you call are genuinely wonderful. Special mention to Matthew, he was so patient & just wonderful with my son! read more

If the tooth fairy was real, she would be working at this office! Seriously, I wish Dr. Dan can be my dentist. I actually asked if it is possible, but unfortunately, I am a bit older than the average patient ;). Everything about our experience was amazing - from scheduling the appointment to the actual visit. People working there are kind and professional, they understand that children can be anxious going to the dentist, especially if it is the first time and they try to make the experience as magical and peaceful as possible. My son now wants to go to the dentist every single day. He had a pleasant time, received goodies, and got to leave his hand mark on the wall - all pretty exciting for a 2-year-old. I am so glad we found Dr. Dan. Highly recommended! read more

I'm extremely pleased with our first visit here. The front desk was very helpful with setting up appointments and emailing me information. Dental Technician was kind & friendly so it made it easy for my 3yr old to feel comfortable. Dr Dan sat with me for 15 mins to talk about dental health and gave me useful information. That alone was worth it as other dentists usually just move onto the next patient and leaves you feeling alone after treatment. Office and dental work area is very clean and staff is very accommodating. I have already referred your office to others. read more

Dr.Dan is the best dentist I've ever met, we had a wonderful experience at Dr. Dan's office, everyone worked there was super nice and helpful. My son is planning to bring his future kids to see Dr. Dan. This is from my 9 years boy who wanna leave this message to Dr. Dan " thank you Dr. Dan my tooth feels great now - Cyrus" read more

Before I start, you can either choose to read what i have to say or you can take my word that you will not find someone else in comparison to Dr Dan. Wow, where do I even start! I have an 8yr son that has been COMPLETELY Traumatize by the dentist. I wish i had known of Dr. Dan before it would have saved my son from the trauma he had been through. I had been taking my son to west coast dental because, well what can i say.. you get what you pay for. I wish i would had done my research a bet better on my part. Like i said, you get what you pay for and there's only so many good dentist in a network. he had been going been going to WCD from the age of 4 to 6. I never was happy with the tactics she would use . Especially cause she would wrap him, (I'm a terrible mother). So i was in search of a new dentist, i looked for Yelp, found doctor dan. Like i said shitty state insurance was not accepted. So i had to wait for open enrollment to add my child to my insurance. Found another dentist and i was somewhat happy, but not happy with staff. I was about to give up. I told myself, if doctor dan isn't the peds dentist his reputation stands for, i give up. The moment we walked in to the clinic we were welcomed by the staff and doctor Dan. I was shock. Tray said, "hey look Raymond is here" I don't know how to explain it, but the atmosphere of how my son was welcomed and not to be afraid. It made me even feel relaxed. The amount of patients this staff has is incredible. It's takes a special dentist to have the capacity to be able to implement the amount of work and techniques to be able to make a child extremely comfortable. I was just in wow, the whole time i was there. Now, if i didn't think he did a well enough job in educating my son on dental health. We came home and he was so eager to floss his teeth, he's been flossing without me enforcing it . I needed a dentist like doctor Dan when i was growing up. read more

Marcy is sweeter than honey, very kind, patient, understanding and incredibly friendly!!! Did I say that I LOVE THIS PLACE?!!! Because I totally do!!! read more

Dr. Dan is a dentist who goes above and beyond, ensuring his patients feel comfortable and safe in his office. He took the time to do a phone consult, prior to our scheduled appointment, to better understand my son's dental needs and fears surrounding cleanings. He was empathetic and compassionate to our unique health situation and did everything in his power to make our experience as easy and painless as possible. I don't think a nicer, friendlier, or more relatable dentist exists. Dr. Dan is truly phenomenal and has my son's seal of approval! read more

Can I give Dr Dan and Matthew 100 stars?!!?!?!?!? Dr Dan is the FOURTH dentist we've tried for my 4 year old. She's terrified of dentists and hates going/has only let them clean her teeth 1x. It has been a 2 year struggle to get her to brush 2x a day; coupled with unfortunate genetics, she is prone to cavities & has had sensitivity in multiple areas of her mouth. On a recent check up last month with a different dentist, they had said she has multiple cavities in her molars & canines and wanted to sedate her to put crowns and fillings on her. It seemed like a pretty aggressive treatment for a child, so I wanted to get a second opinion. A friend of mine had recommended Dr Dan months ago, but I was reluctant to make the drive since we live in Pasadena. I finally gave them a call and they managed to squeeze us in pretty quickly. The experience here was night and day compared to the other dentists (all of whom are reputable and well liked within the community). Matthew took the time to show my child all the tools & let her play with them. When she was hesitant, he didn't just give up, he would find another method. He never rushed her and she eventually warmed up to him and even let him clean her teeth!!!!! The first time in 2 years. She was equally comfortable with Dr. Dan, who was upbeat and positive. She eagerly opened her mouth like a hippo so he could check her teeth. He was very informative & recommended a much less invasive treatment plan as compared to the last dentist we'd gone to. On our second visit, we attempted X-rays and the sealant treatment. My kid was pretty spooked by all the equipment, so we weren't able to proceed with either. She did however sit in the chair by herself and put on the nose piece for laughing gas, which was major progress for her. We were never pressured to continue and dr dan reiterated that her comfort level was of the utmost importance. We also were not charged for the visit despite Dr dan and the staff spending a considerable amount of time with her. 3rd time was a charm. Matthew helped us out again & had the magic touch per usual. He managed to get her to breathe the laughing gas, and voila! Dr Dan was able to get to work. She cooperated and was able to get her treatment. She later told me she trusted them and was not scared. We are so grateful for the staff at this office and really wish more dentists would follow their approach. We also just learned they have a glendale office for cleanings, so we're excited we can save some time on the commute & will be patients of Dr Dan's for many years to come. read more

Dr. Dan's office is the best experience I've ever had with any child of mine going to the dentist or any doctor for that matter. The staff is amazing and the dentist is one of a kind! Highly recommend!!! read more

The last thing any parent wants is for their child to have bad dental experiences early in life - we all want them to love going to the dentist and enjoy caring for their teeth! I was super anxious about trying someplace new for our 5 year old after a terrible previous experience elsewhere, but Dr. Dan's office is THE DREAM dental experience for kids and their nervous parents! First off, it's so refreshing to have a pediatric dentist's lobby feel modern, fresh, and clean. I was grateful when Marcy at the front desk informed us that everything had been freshly sanitized, and offered us sparkling water while we waited. They offer various electronic devices that kids can borrow while they wait, but it wasn't necessary because they called us in right away. The dental offices are super modern and clean, just like the lobby. Becky brought us back to a room, and instantly put our daughter at ease with her warmth and gentle energy. She explained everything to our daughter before doing it, which I really appreciated. She let our daughter pick a TV show to watch on the flat screen above the chair, put cushy headphones on her, and worked quickly. Dr. Dan came in to examine her and he is such a treat! So down to earth, playful, and congenial. The exam was brief but thorough, and he explained his findings clearly and kindly. At her previous dental visit, which was at an office I would never recommend, the dentist had suggested my daughter had a cavity forming, but suggested we wait 6 months and check on it. I didn't trust them, and Dr. Dan confirmed via Xray and oral exam, there is no cavity! A lot of pediatric dentists invent cavities to bill for fillings, and I have a hunch that's what the previous dentists office was trying to do. At the end, she got to pick 2 stickers and get a prize from the machine. Since then, she's asked to go back TWICE. I'd call that "the dream dental experience" :) read more

Let me start by saying, DR. DAN IS AMAAAAZZZZIIIINNNGGGGG!!!!! I have been coming to him for almost 2 years now and I still cannot express enough how great he is! He actually takes his time to thoroughly explain everything you need to know about your child's oral health. Never have I once felt rushed through our appointments! My kids, 6 and 2 year old, love coming to their appointments. His staff is also extremely friendly! I had previously been to other dentists with my older daughter but I never felt that connection between patient and dr. If you're looking for a true pediatric dentist, this is here to come!! :) read more

Love this practice! Minimal to no wait time. Dental hygienists are friendly and interactive with my son. Dr Dan is upbeat, explains things clearly, and clearly is comfortable treating kids. He is big on prevention and makes great recommendations. Plus the tv hanging from the ceiling and noise cancelling headphones make him completely at ease while they do their work. I appreciate that Dr Dan also verifies out of pocket costs before any procedure- no surprise bills here. read more

Everyone in the office is amazing and friendly. Dr. Dan has so much patience. He had to do 4 filings on my very energetic 4 year old. Previous dentist wanted to put him under anesthesia for 2 hours without even trying to do filings any other way. Dr. Dan was able to fill all 4 without anesthesia. They explain everything in great detail so you know everything. Best dental experiences and office. read more

Dr. Dan and his entire staff is AMAZING. They are genuine , kind and fun. My kids adore going there. As a parent we usually dread these kinds of visits but Dr. Dans dentistry is different! Kids actually are excited and calm. They love the atmosphere and energy the office provides and of course they super cool little toys and gifts they leave with! I highly recommend Dr.Dans office especially for any parents who dread taking their kiddos to the dentist! read more

Such a great dentist that we drive an hour there and an hour back to get there. Dr. Dan is the best!

The entire experience exceeded my already high expectations. Would've loved to have this experience for myself as a child! Receptionist was super friendly and informative. The technician, Maddy, was warm and made my son comfortable very quickly, turning on his favorite show and answering all my questions. My son got to play with all the dental equipment and try them out. They went through a ton of information in an easy manner and never made me feel like I wasn't doing enough as a parent. Actually got to clean my son's teeth during his first visit (almost 2 1/2 yr old) and Dr. Dan was easy going and playful with my son during his eval. Even though I'm moving out of Los Angeles very soon, I'm legit debating if I can figure out how to make trips back here so that my son can continue going to this dental office. read more

We love Dr. Dan & all the friendly staff there! The office is pristine & fun for kids--and the way they are able to make all kids comfortable & excited to go to the dentist is incredible. Our 2 year old loves it! read more

Have you ever gone to a dentist and not wanted to leave? RIGHT! Dr. Dan has a spirit of excellence and love that transcends description. His staff is warm and inviting.

Every child deserves to experience this type of dentistry. read more

Love, love , love this practice! My daughter just had her first visit and she's not only convinced of the importance of taking care of her teeth, she's also spreading the good advice she got from Dr. Dan.

He didn't push for unnecessary treatments or products and was open and honest in every step of the visit. I am very happy to have dr. Dan as my child's dentist. read more
