Wonderful dentist! She is very kind, puts you at ease, does not try to up-sell and takes your concerns very seriously. The dental hygenists clean your teeth very thoroughly while also being gentle. They also never make you wait. My entire family goes to her practice and I am sad because our dental insurance is changing and I will have to find another practice. It's difficult to find a good dentist! read more

Dr. Sheth and her entire staff are world class. The office is warm, clean, bright, and believe it or not, I actually look forward to going to the dentist now. I have had fillings and a crown done masterfully by Dr. Sheth- she is so skilled that I find her dental work nearly painless. Her entire front office staff are awesome, accommodating, and if any insurance or coverage challenges come up they are great about it. I adored the hygienist who did my last teeth cleaning! I believe her name was Jessica but I am unsure and will hopefully update this review with the proper name after my next teeth cleaning if I got it wrong (sorry!) Do not hesitate to book here if you're looking for a new dentist, long term especially. I can't imagine not having Dr. Sheth / Hillside! I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be a patient :) read more

I have been a patient of Dr Sheth for about two years. I am very impressed. Her office staff is efficient. She does not try to upsell. Her dental work is of the highest caliber and she is very diligent in her craft. I am pleased that she takes my insurance and I have found her prices to be reasonable. I would highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Marise Sheth and her team are amazing. I'm so glad I chose to go to Hillside Dentistry because everyone is so kind, helpful, and professional. They go above and beyond to make sure I maintain good hygiene. I love their music choice in the background and I especially appreciate not having to wait hours to be seen. I just walk in and I'm getting taken care of in minutes. Dr. Sheth has been able to work with my budget whenever I'm in a bind. I've gotten a crown, fillings, a new retainer, and several teeth cleanings so far and I'm very happy with the service. This is my favorite dentist! read more

All the crowns my husband had done here between 2015-2019 are having to be replaced due to shoddy work. Three of them are now being replaced with full implants with another dentist. This is inexcusable. A good crown can last up to 20 years. Two of the crowns I had done in this office had to be replaced within 7 years. I do not recommend this office. I started here when Dr Jacinto first opened the office be he shortly left for some unknown reason. This office seems to have a high turnover of dentists. There main office in Gardena.... If you are looking for an honest dentist who does reliable good work I recommend checking out Dr. Shook in San Pedro. Dentistry is an art form. Avoid this office. read more

I made an appointment for my partner because he is very anxious about COVID19 precautions. I saw that Hillside has hepa filters in each room. My partner came home very happy with his appointment w Dr Sheth. The office is clean, the staff is friendly. They talked him through the treatment, and he came home happy to find a great local dentist. Thanks hillside! We'll be back !! read more

I recommend Hillside Dentistry to anyone seeking top notch dental care! Their dental hygienists are kind and welcoming and Dr. Sheth is caring and extremely competent. I felt so safe & well taken care of. I had a previous negative experience with a dental office and went to Dr. Sheth for a second opinion. She was knowledgeable and and answered all of my questions thoughtfully. Having a trust worthy, caring dentist can be hard to come by, but Dr. Sheth is the real deal. She provides such excellent care and I feel so lucky to have gone to Hillside Dentistry. I am recommending them to my friends and family! Thank you! read more

I've had 4 encounters with the office now and honestly it's been only positive experiences. The 3 clinicians I've seen are all personable and attention to detail. The front desk staff is flexible with scheduling. They actually called me back on 2 occasions when there were last minute openings as I requested. I don't know many businesses nowadays that'll do that. Very grateful to have this neighborhood small practice. read more

Dr. Meister and the team at Hillside Dentistry are the best! Dr. Meister was very thorough in explaining my children's treatment plans and reasonably priced. Appointments are easy to make - I didn't have to pull my kids out of school since late afternoon time slots are available. My son and I are very happy with the results! read more

I had a crown crack this morning and Hours later I was walking out of the dentist office with my temporary Crown. Thank you so much to all of the staff as well as Dr. Ayab For her excellent communication and care. I definitely feel comfortable going back in the future and that says a lot for somebody who broke a crown on a Monday lol. read more

I came in for a root canal. I have had a root canal before and was expecting some pain, but Dr Sheth made it painless. She was funny and kind. Her manner with her technician was nice to see- she was instructive and supportive. The music was calming, and at one point I found myself humming to it while she was working on my teeth! I've been going to Hillside for many years and have always been happy. I would definitely recommend Dr Sheth. Also, their swag pens are the best. Ask for a pen! read more

This is a great dentist especially for kids. My daughter has always been apprehensive going to the dentist but the staff here are really patient and caring. They even let her help with cleaning her big brothers teeth Highly recommended read more

If you're looking for a new dentist look no further. I came to their office for a cleaning knowing my teeth were probably not in the best shape since it had been several years since I saw a dentist. Turns out I needed two crowns because two of my old filling had failed. Before anything got started Lauren explained my insurance and cost. Dr. Sadat actually took the time to show me my x-rays and the pictures they took, so I could actually see what she was seeing and what she was talking about. I was going to have temporary crowns while I wait for the permanent ones to come in, but I was leaving the country for 3 weeks. They made sure I had everything I needed and knew what to do just in case the temporaries came out while I was gone. They even squeezed me in a few days after my first appointment because I felt my bite was off with the temporaries. Adriana was soo patient with me and how neurotic I was being about how my site felt. When I finally came back for the permanent crowns to be placed Dr. Sadat and Adriana made sure that they were sealed properly and sitting in the right place. They ended up sending one back on a rush because it was completely sealed. This office is amazing and the staff is the best! read more

Patient. Professional. Kind. Great availability. Flexible. Knowledgeable. Family owned. Honest. Gentle. These are just some of the characteristics of Hillside Dentistry. I have had a wisdom tooth pulled, an old filling removed, a crown put on, basic cleanings, and deep cleaning done within these last 7 months, and I am thoroughly impressed with Dr. Sheth and her entire team. I used to be scared of the dentist and honestly, would hardly go because of how uncomfortable I was. I am so happy to say, NOT ANY MORE!!! Since going to Hillside these last 7 months, I have never been more on top of my oral needs. I actually look forward to going knowing I am in such great hands!! It's also nice that they play enjoyable music, too, making it an even more calm and enjoyable experience. If you are looking for a new dentist, ABSOLUTELY give Hillside a shot! I can't believe it even took me as long as it did to start going here!!! You guys are amazing!!! Keep up the great work! read more

I can't recommend Dr. Marise Sheth, DDS, highly enough...if there were more stars I would double them. Dr. Sheth responded to my voice mail in the evening after I made a plea for an emergency visit when my son had an accident. She told me the office was closed the next day and it was her day off, but that she felt she needed to see my son as soon as possible and to come in the morning and she would work everything out. Dr. met us at the door outside and performed all the proper covid protocol and welcomed us in and introduced Bella, the DA she arranged to come in, also on her day off, in order to help my son. She had the wonderful Lauren on video screen almost the entire 2.5 hours it took to beautifully repair all 6 chipped and broken teeth. Nick was so very grateful to see his teeth fixed, and they are perfect! Dr. Sheth and all of Hillside Dentistry bent over backwards for us during a crisis and I couldn't recommend her more, or be more grateful! Blessings Dr. Sheth and staff! PS I've found them to be wonderful during non-crisis visits as well and am very happy to be patients there. Doctors and staff are all very kind, professional and caring. read more

Went in for a routine checkup and of course I have a few fillings needed. I had the work done and as soon as the numbing wore off I was in excruciating pain! I went back several times to have adjustments made and nothing changed. On my final visit to them, the doctor I saw said that 1 tooth was cracked to the root and that was why I was experiencing the pain. She said the other filling was too big and should have been a crown. They refunded me the portion they charged me for the terrible work that I received, but refused to refund the portion they charged my insurance. I went back to my previous dentist to have my teeth fixed. I actually saw a Specialist who said my tooth was not cracked, but that there were voids in the fillings on both teeth, which is why I was experiencing so much pain. I am overly disappointed with this office. They knew they were in the wrong and that is why they refunded me my portion. They didn't refund my insurance though, which meant I had to come out of pocket to fix the terrible work they did. If you like your teeth and to be treated fairly, do yourself a favor and avoid this place like the plague! read more

I been have excruciating tooth pain from a cracked tooth for a few days. My regular dentist was closed due to covid. Was referred to Hillside by a co worker. Called that morning to see when they can see me urgently for my toothache and later that afternoon I was there. I appreciate that they could see me in such short noticed. My first tooth extraction ever and I was very nervous. But Dr. Sheth and her wonderful staff put me at ease right away. They were so kind and supportive. My extraction did not take very long at all and all in all I was extremely pleased. read more

I have been going to Hillside Dentistry for a few years now and couldn't be more pleased or happier with the staff and especially Dr. Sheth. If you are looking for a professional, kind, caring and fun dentist, then this is the place. She is knowledgeable, patient and it's very easy to schedule an appointment. Her staff is friendly too. read more

Hello. I have been a long time patient at Hillside Dentistry. I can't say enough good things about this office. Dr. Sheth is excellent. She really knows her stuff and she is kind. She really cares about her patients. She is honest too. If you don't need work done, she won't do it. I have been cared for by two dental hygienist at this office and both were stellar. Really knowledgeable and skillful. Lauren is awesome as well and works hard to accommodate my schedule. When my son aged out from his pediatric dentist, I felt very confident in switching him right over this this practice. He is very happy. This practice gets five stars from me read more

Dr. Sheth and her entire staff are so calming, efficient and warm. The office is spotless, and their COVID process is very reassuring, while also being easy and quick--never a pain. I always have a flawless experience with this office. read more

Extremely professional and very friendly staff! Went in for a root canal and was LITERALLY quick and painless, didn't feel a thing! you can tell the staff is passionate about what they do and actually care about their patients. Would DEFINITELY recommend coming here if you need any sort of dental work read more

Our entire family sees Dr. Marise Sheth and our experiences have been excellent. She makes us feel very comfortable, her service is great, and she is patient and thorough with our child. I highly recommend! read more

The only reason I made an appointment at this location is because I thought I was coming to see Dr. Goldwyn. Of course I wasn't told he's no longer with the practice until after I was already there for my appointment, and was asked how I heard of them, etc. That was my first disappointment - but I decided to give them a chance. The receptionist Vanessa - though very friendly - not very efficient. Ultimately - she's one of a few reasons I decided not to come back. I had my consultation with Dr. Kingston and his assistant Richard. They are both BEYOND friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I had my consultation and walked back into the reception area to talk about my treatment plan with Vanessa. The treatment plan was pretty self explanatory - however the fees for treatment vs. the insurance payments etc. was very confusing. Even after making multiple payments - I would end up with an out of pocket balance, which is fine if I owe it - however if i asked for a breakdown - it literally took weeks before I was able to figure out exactly what was done - what was paid for and what I actually owed. After a few follow up emails, etc. Finally figured it out. I go back for a crown - ended up having to go back because the crown was not sized correctly and did not fit. I had other dental work done - a couple filings, that till this day I am experiencing sensitivity with. This is after I've gone back twice to fix it. Had my front tooth fixed - and now have major sensitivity there also. Even the crown I had replaced hurts when I eat something too hot or cold. NEVER had any of these issues until after my dental work. I returned for my dental cleaning. Spoke to Vanessa again about treatment. She mentioned some sort of laser cleaning - which I specifically told her I did NOT want as it was optional. She then tells me she would have the hygienist explain to me. I go in - have HALF of my mouth done only, charged over $300, and sent home with a bottle of mouth rinse. I then have MAJOR swelling on the side the cleaning was done - to the point that I could barely chew! THEN....I get the detailed bill showing I was actually charged for the laser treatment I DID NOT AGREE TO. Apparently - it was done - without my knowledge or consent. If a patient doesn't sign the treatment plan - indicating extra OPTIONAL items - why would proceed to do certain procedures while you're sitting in the chair totally not aware of what's actually being done? Though Dr. Kingston and Richard made my experience pleasant - I will not be back. Will have to find another dentist to finish what they started. NOT happy about it. read more

This was the best cleaning that I have ever experienced. Vik, was my dental hygienist. He was professional, gentle, and he communicated to me, all through the cleaning and checkup process. I am not a big fan of visiting the dentist! However, Dr. Sheth and team, continues to provide excellent care. I love my new and shiny smile! read more

I had the pleasure of getting my teeth cleaned by Dr. Sheth. I needed a deep cleaning and have very sensitive gag reflexes. Dr. Sheth took time and care with my teeth making sure I was very comfortable. The procedure went amazingly well and my gums feel so much better. This office was very accommodating to my sensitive needs, and it was amazing to be treated so well! read more

What brought me to Hillside was office manager, Lauren. And what will keep me coming back is Dr. Kingston and his assistant, Richard. Prior to choosing Hillside, I had spoken to over 5 other dental practices all either too full or felt impersonal to work with. Lauren had just the right helpful personality and good advice that saved me hours of unnecessary pain. Upon meeting Dr. Kingston and Richard, I noticed how concerned, relaxed and empathic they both were. I felt well cared for and comfortable. They efficiently and effectively took care of my dental issues. And I left the office feeling very satisfied. read more

Agreeing with the other reviewers, Dr. Goldwyn and his staff are seriously awesome. He is highly skilled and is very thorough. What I really liked was how he took the time to explain what he's doing in detail. I got a cleaning done and as funny as it sounds, I actually enjoyed it (weird, I know). He's also very personable and really puts you at ease. Even kids love him. I've never seen kids so excited to see a dentist! Also, he has the best hours. I mean seriously, how many dental offices open on Sundays? So if you're not happy with your current dentist or are in need of one for whatever reason, I recommend him, hands down. There's a reason why all the reviewers have left 5 stars. :) read more

This review is looooooooong overdue- I LOVE Dr. Goldwyn and his team. They are by far the friendliest most efficient dental group I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. They always make you feel welcome and like family. Dr. Goldwyn has a unique way of explaining everything that's going on so patients feel comfortable. Also, I wish I had children because I heard Dr. Goldwyn interacting with a young boy who was there for a cleaning and OMG- can you say adorable?!?!? He is soooo great with kids. They are flexible with appointments which is really helpful for someone like me who works a lot. I only have the best things to say about them- wonderful people!!! read more

So having bad exprience with old dentists.... I decided to try this place on the pure reccomendation of yelp. I knew i had to get a cleaning and was told by another dentist a needed a deep cleaning... surely enough Dr. Jequinto told me i needed a general cleaning. I was suprised to meet a honest dentist. Im sure there are a lot of them out there but this was the first i met Staff: Extra caring, attentive and polite Dentist: Honest, professional, gentle and educational. Does not try to over sell. Price: You will be amazed by the price... Lowest ever in my 32 yrs. Service: Dentist was very gentle and not in a rush. Barely no bleeding for a general cleaning. Was very thorough to make sure he got every tooth clean.. FOUND MY FULL TIME DENTIST. IM NOT RELATED TO ANY OF THE EMPLOYEES NOR THE DENTIST. JUST A TRULY HAPPY CLIENT btw: dont let the plaza and area full you! read more

Excellent work done and extremely friendly staff. Made me very comfortable during my deep cleaning procedure.

I can't say enough about hillside dentistry, I used to stress about any dental work, but when I found this place I no longer lose sleep worrying about the pain and discomfort that I endured with other dentists. They tailor to each individuals needs....they also have the highest/cleanest standards during COVID times taking all measures to ensure everyone's safety. Highly recommend Dr. Sheth and her team of polite professionals, read more

So happy I found Dr. Goldwyn & Hillside Dentistry. The office is new and clean, and has a comforting and calming effect. All the staff, Lauren, Cesilia, and the rest are very helpful and always smiling . Look no further for a great Dentist ! Dr. Goldwyn is at the top of his game. I had some difficult procedures and never felt a thing ! Thank you Hillside Dentistry read more

Dr. Sean Ebrahimian (Dr. "E" for short) and the Hygenist Kamilla Bumbtaio were wonderful. I had the least painful injections ever. Barely felt anything at all in the injections and the work I had done. Very friendly, very gentle, and great at taking the time to show me what they were going to do with pictures and on the big screen in front of the dental chair. They explained everything in discussing what work I would need done and why and when (my treatment plan). The office is beautiful, extremely clean, and the equipment used is state of the art. I even had some of my work done using lasers! I felt extremely comfortable and would not dread going to the dentist again! I highly recommend Hillside Dentistry! read more

I took both of my teenagers here to get their teeth whitened. We've tried the at home stuff and went to another dentist who made trays that broke in the first two weeks. Even so, the whitening that was achieved with the trays was not great. They use a special light here to get your teeth white and then the trays to keep them white. The difference is amazing and my kids are really happy! Their staff was very friendly even though I was running late which is a plus. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a white smile within an hour. read more

With two screaming kids at home and a full time job, making time for the dentist is nearly impossible. And let's face it...not what I want to do with my free time. Hillside worked around my schedule to make an appointment for me and my wife possible, so thank you for that. And Ravi was a wizard at cleaning...so smooth and gentle. I told him it was like a spa day for my mouth. And their staff was not pushy at all with any of the repairs/fillings/etc I needed. I will be coming back to Hillside in the future. Great practice with great people! read more

Highly recommend Dr. Sheth. This was my first time going in for any dental work more serious than a routine cleaning and her practice was amazingly gentle when I had a deep cleaning and a crown added to a cracked tooth. Didn't feel a thing. I was very nervous at first, but they were able to make the experience less frightening with their positive attitudes and gentle hands. Would definitely recommend to anyone who's a little scared of the dentist like myself. read more

As someone who has a real fear of the dentist's office and a long list of bad experiences at various clinics, I'll happily give Hillside a 5 star review! All of the staff immediately made me feel comfortable Dr Kingston was confident on the best treatment plan for my case. And to top it off, they were above and beyond to accommodate my financial situation and therefore enabled me to have my treatment for an affordable cost. I had a really wonderful experience here and will continue to return to Hillside Dentistry for all my dental needs while staying in the United States! read more

Admittedly, I've only had two visits with Dr. Sheth, but I've had several dentists and one orthodontist in my 56 years and she is, BY FAR, the best. The entire visit was as pleasant as a visit to the dentist could be. Making the appointment was easy with Lauren being responsive and helpful. The office environment was relaxing and all proper Covid precautions were taken. I don't know how to describe Dr. Sheth, other than to say she was gentle, yet fast and precise with everything she did. She also talked to me throughout the procedure to make sure I was ok and to explain what she was about to do and what I might experience. Gerta (?), who was assisting Dr. Sheth was also fantastic (and funny). I ALWAYS think of Steve Martin in "Little Shop of Horrors" during dentist visits, but at one point during the procedure, I was actually thinking, "I hope Dr. Sheth doesn't ever leave Hillside Dentistry....because I've finally found the dentist I'll use for years to come." read more

My family and I have been going to Hillside Dentistry for many years now. They have both dental and orthodontist services, and my family has benefitted from both. Everyone there is very professional and attentive. If you need some additional follow up work, they will let you know along with why they recommend it and what the cost will be if you choose to go forward. And if everything looks good, they will let you know that, too. Their main focus is your oral health, and it shows. I recently had to get a partial crown replaced. Dr. Sheth took a lot of care getting the mold, then getting a perfect temporary to hold me over until the replacement came. She did such a great job, I never noticed the temporary. And, of course, the replacement crown is now in place and a perfect fit and color match. If you are looking fea dentist or an orthodontist, Hillside Dentistry should be your first call. read more
