I took my 10 month old daughter here for her first dentist appointment. I loved it here, everyone is so friendly and really made me and my daughter feel so comfortable. She saw Dr. D and she was so gentle with my daughter. All the staff there were wonderful, especially Jessica at the front desk. Thank you Local smile for making my daughter's first dentist visit feel so special, she even got a goody bag. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. DiPaolo and her team! Finding the right dentist for kids isn't easy, but she makes the whole experience so comfortable and stress-free. From the moment you walk in, the office feels warm and welcoming -- not intimidating like some dental offices can be for little ones. Dr. D has such a natural way of connecting with kids. She explains things in a way they can understand and never rushes through appointments. My child actually left smiling after getting dental work done which is saying something! She's gentle, thorough, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients and their overall experience. What I appreciate most is her ability to calm both kids and parents. She takes the time to answer questions and makes sure you feel confident in the treatment plan. It's rare to find a pediatric dentist who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely kind and approachable. If you're looking for a pediatric dentist who makes children feel safe, heard, and cared for, Dr. DiPaolo is the one. I feel lucky to have found her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any family. read more

This place was recommended to me by another mom. The location is not ideal because it's very hard to find parking at times and you have to pay. The location is clean and staff is friendly. However, I am not satisfied because I made an appointment this month and the text I got was one date but what I was told over the phone was another and the person on the phone got upset with me saying that the text was correct yet she was telling me another date. I also was not happy seeing that they are supportive of politicians that are against people of color. I understand this facility is in a place that is primarily white but still, I do not feel comfortable taking my daughter to this facility anymore. read more

Dr. Gamble and her staff took excellent care of my daughter during her very first dentist visit. They made the experience not only comfortable but truly enjoyable and fun. They remembered every detail I shared on the intake form--my daughter's favorite movie and interests--which helped put her at ease right away. Dr. Gamble is very thorough and skillful. She explained everything clearly and took significant time to address my questions and concerns. We're fortunate that the South Bay area has many great pediatric dentists, but Dr. Gamble exceeded our expectations by far. Thank you, Smile Co.! We look forward to our next visit in 6 months. read more

Dr. Dipaolo is spectacular! My 7 year old daughter appreciates her gentle touch and caring demeanor so much that she even named her bear after her As a parent, I love the thorough explanations, professionalism, and her outstanding skill in performing procedures. The front office/receptionists are very sharp! They always have treatment plans ready upon arrival and know how to handle insurance. We love the team! and the positive experience we have every time we come in for my daughter's appointment. Keep up the great work Local Smile Co! read more

I rarely ever leave reviews, but I absolutely had to for this amazing place. My two-year-old was developing some major anxiety over going to the dentist after trying three different places. They were all fine, but no one seemed to be able to help her feel safe. Not only did Dr. DePaulo and the wonderful hygienists make her feel safe, they also made sure she had a great time. She even wanted to go back the day after! After the previous experiences, I as a mother was also developing anxiety every time we had to go to the dentist. The visits became more frequent as my two-year-old had developed two cavities, and every dentist we had seen was pushing to sedate her and go as far as doing a root canal and a crown. This was the only dentist who offered an alternative treatment that did not require any sedation. In fact, they only used sedation as the last case option and have such a nuanced way of looking at the mouth and what's going on inside of it! I'm amazed!! This little review really does not encompass how amazing this team is. They are true pros and I would trust my little one with them any day!!!! read more

Dr. Andrea Gamble is amazing! My kids have been going to her for years and look forward to going to the dentist. She is so good at her job and super kind and sweet to the kids.

I didn't think we could improve upon our pediatric dentist experience from Newport. I even considered keeping our kids dentist. But oh wow am I glad I didn't. This practice is not only new, beautiful, modern (and I know those things are not important) but wow. No wait, perfect service, quick work on both of my kiddos. They didn't even care what was happening. I felt like they got the royal treatment and got pampered. They can't wait to go back. Dr Gamble is so nice, sweet, and knowledgeable. Also great toys read more

First and foremost I want to thank Dr. Gamble and her team for such excellent and professional care for my child! I don't really write reviews but I feel really compelled to write this. It began when we discovered our 4 year old had developed an abscess from an infected tooth. It was incredibly worrisome and we felt the burden everyday trying to figure out what would be the best course of action for her to be comfortable and not traumatized from seeing a dentist. After getting nearly a dozen opinions and visiting multiple offices and calling around endlessly, we were nearly at our wits end when we were referred to Dr. Gamble and decided to give her a call. The initial consultation was awesome - she was patient, she answered every one of our questions, didn't rush, was extremely confident and just gave us a peace of mind. And by the way, while every one was saying "oh yeah just pull the tooth" Dr. Gamble was the only one to say "we can try and save it." And that was a big relief - she actually cared about how the parents felt and also showed how much she cares about her patient because she showed in that instance that if it's possible then we should try! Her willingness to give it a try and that meant a lot to us. She scheduled us in (in a busy season for pediatric dentists because all the kids are out on summer break) that very next week which we really appreciated. The day of the procedure rolls around (which was today when I'm writing this) and everything goes without a hitch - my child was comfortable and all the staff and Dr. Gamble was extremely professional and calm and just overall amazing. She even followed up after hours and that really shows how much she cares! Overall I highly recommend her office and I understand while this office has 5 stars - if anyone is in a similar situation to ours, please call this office, it'll be worthwhile! P.S. Dr. Gamble is the Solea Laser Whiz - she is the go-to for all procedures for laser dentistry! Thank you again Dr. Gamble and staff! read more

My daughter has a few big cavities, one that started becoming painful. I was taking my daughter to another pediatric dentist office and they told me my only option was to have an anesthesiologist put her fully to sleep to because she was extremely scared and wouldn't sit in the chair. My husband was very adamant about not wanting to put her fully under so I asked a few people and was recommended to Dr. Gamble. I had a consultation with Dr. Gamble let her know we were nervous about putting our daughter fully under and my husband really didn't want to go down that route unless it was the very last option. Dr Gamble was very caring and took it in consideration and gave us a few other options. She suggested having our daughter come for a few "play-dates" to get used to the office to make her feel more comfortable and not scared. We had our first play date / cleaning scheduled and were planning to bring big brother but unfortunately we got into a huge car accident and couldn't make it to our appointment. On top of it all our daughters tooth pain started to become excruciating on a Thursday night when all dentist offices were closed! I called Dr. Gambles emergency line and she answered right away. I told her that my daughters tooth was in extreme pain and she immediately (I mean like within minutes of me sending her the pharmacy we go too) ordered her medication and I was able to pick it up in the same hour. Dr. Gambles office was closed Friday but she said to bring her in Monday morning at 7 am (before they opened) so she could take care of the tooth. As the weekend went on her tooth pain kept getting worse with no relief from the medications or antibiotics. Dr. Gamble texted me throughout the whole weekend giving me any advice/tips to help my daughters pain. If it weren't for her being so responsive I probably would've taken my daughter to the emergency room because I was out of options on how to help her with the pain :( She also suggested that she would need a emergency tooth extraction and send me a few recommendations on where to take her. I was able to get a next day appointment and will be taking her tomorrow to have her tooth extracted. I can't thank Dr. Gamble enough for helping me/ walking me through all of this, we technically haven't even had a treatment with her (just a consultation) and she's treated us so good!! I will Forsure be bringing all of my kids to Dr. Gamble from now on! read more

Do yourself a favor and take your children to Dr Gamble! My 3 year old daughter just had her first appt. Upon entering the office i was nervous, seeing as i wrestle to brush my daughters teeth morning and night! However, all of the staff members here immediately made the experience fabulous. The office is bright and has a very happy energy. Dr Gamble and her assistant were so caring, whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. They spoke directly to my daughter and knew all the tricks to keep her calm & comfortable. I was so impressed during the entire appt. They really made it an enjoyable dental experience for my daughter and I! read more

My toddler had his first dental check up with Dr. Gamble and walked out smiling! The office is very organized and kid-friendly. The color aesthetics makes one feel welcomed upon entering. Considering I've had my share of bad experiences, I was grateful that my son had an awesome first visit. The staff was very friendly and informative. All COVID precautions are in effect and I felt very comfortable from start to finish. I will continue taking my son there. His favorite part, were the dental souvenirs (including a toy) he was able to take home. I will definitely recommend Local Smile Co. :) read more

Can't say enough about this office. The front staff are so nice and welcoming. The dental hygienists are amazing and pay attention to even the smallest details. The Dentist are top notch! Had a dental emergency today and they made sure to take us in within the hour of calling. Once there they are gentle and understanding, a much needed approach when not only that my child was nervous but so was I. They explained what happened and assured me that my child would be able to recuperate that beautiful smile. Amazing!! Highly recommended. read more

I am truly speechless! I have grown up in the dental industry as my father is a dentist. Dr Gamble is THEE Best! My 3 1/2 yr old son's front two teeth were turning grey and were abscessed and I knew that meant they needed to be removed. She recommended we pull the teeth to preserve his adult teeth. From the moment we walked in the staff were so kind, gentle and calm. Dr Gamble was sweet, calming, gentle and everything I would want in a doctor that is caring for my child. They had a stuffed animal for him to hold during the procedure, stories were told to him while the procedure was done to distract him and NO crying. I am SO grateful for Dr Gamble and her team for taking the best care of my boy. read more

Never thought I'd hear my 13 year old daughter walk out of a dentist's office saying "that was SO fun!

I don't have enough nice things to say about this office! Just fantastic! Both of my kids love coming here. One is 7 and the other is 2 years old.

Dr Gamble is just the sweetest and really makes the experience positive for the kids. They get to choose a gift from the treasure chest and a balloon at the end which is a highlight. How often can you say your kids actually want to go to the dentist? Highly recommend Local Smile! read more

Dr Gamble has gone above and beyond for my daughters dental emergency. She fell and chipped her front tooth and since we are new to the area I called a few places to find out what to do. Dr Gamble was the first to get back to us (at 7am!) and has since followed up to make sure she was okay. She is so kind and caring. Her office is extraordinary - filled with toys and fun things for the little ones to do. My daughter can't wait to go back and really enjoyed her visit. I highly recommend this place. read more

So very thankful we have Dr. Gamble and her team as my children's dental office! I wish she took adults too lol! But seriously, her staff is super nice and all children friendly and Dr. Gamble herself is so AMAZING! She knows how to communicate with children effectively all while keeping parents at ease. My 2 children, started going about 2 years ago and recently my 5- year old needed to have 3 teeth extracted due to his baby teeth overcrowding- yikes! I was super nervous but Dr. Gamble knew exactly how to handle it and minimize pain-- to my surprise he had NO PAIN at all and he enjoyed watching LEGO movie 2 while they went to work. My children love the toys they offer and always ask me to go to the dentist because they have such a fun experience there- like a playland-- I mean really, they even offer helium balloons!!! The office interior design is something off of HGTV and my kids and I love the pineapple theme. Really, def give Dr. Gamble a visit, you will be impressed every visit and your children will LOVE going to the dentist. read more

My 5 and 6 year olds just had their first appointment with Dr. Andrea Gamble today. Oh. My. God. She AND ALL OF HER STAFF are amazing. My kids don't have dental anxiety (thank god) but I do, even for my kids, but she is INCREDIBLE and I feel so at ease knowing she is their dentist. I wish she could be MY dentist too! Haha. I love that she uses a laser for fillings, instead of the traditional method. The office is immaculately kept. The receptionists are literally a pleasure to deal with. Her Covid protocol makes me feel SO SAFE. I could honestly go on and on... this experience was amazing. read more

Love this office. Everyone is so nice and makes kids feel comfortable. Highly recommend if you are looking for a pediatric dentist

Doctor Gamble and her team are AMAZING!!! We came to doctor Gamble for a second opinion. My 5 year old son had his first dental X-rays at another providers office. They found out he has 9 cavities. I was told by the provider that he need to be sedated and intubated in the OR to have his teeth fixed. And they handed me the consent forms to fill out. I felt like they were super aggressive and pushy. Of course I did not feel comfortable with this approach, so I left the office with tears in my eyes, anxiety and mommy guilt. At this point I decided to seek a second opinion and went onto the South Bay mommy group on Facebook and found raving reviews on Doctor Gamble from fellow mommy's. We met with doctor Gamble the first day and she was so sweet and welcoming. She made my son and I feel at ease, and provided us with a less aggressive treatment plan. Instead of intubating and sedating my son she offered to use the nitrous oxide and fix the two biggest cavities with her laser on his first visit. We agreed with her plan and came into a couple of weeks later to get them fixed. They were amazing with him!!! Doctor Gamble and her assistant worked their magic while my son watched a movie and held still during the entire procedure. My husband and I watched in amazement. We are so happy we found her and her team. They are amazing!!! We highly recommended Doctor Gamble and her team and will be coming back to have our son's other cavities fixed. read more

I took my 2 year old daughter here for her first dentist appointment. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The hygienist who examined my daughter first was so patient and experienced. She put my daughter at ease by talking to her a lot. She told me what to expect with the exam and answered all of my questions patiently. Dr. Gamble was also so friendly! Everyone in the office is so great with kids. My daughter left with so many prizes/goodies from just a dental cleaning. She was so excited to go back in the future! read more

Wow!!! Totally blown away by how amazing this dental office was! I highly recommend this office! Sure parking was a little rough, and it's in a very busy area.. however I will happily drive out of my way again and again!!!! My boys both had smiles on their faces the entire time! This place totally lives up to its name! Well done!!! We will be back for many years!!! read more

The billing, payment, procedure is all up front as well. They are very clear before you go in as to what they'll be doing and how much the insurance covers and how much you are responsible to pay. All in all the perfect ped. dentistry because they sincerely do care about your little ones as much as you do! Thank you guys! :) I wish they took adults! read more

Dr. Gamble and her entire team are magical and amazing! My daughter actually had fun during her visit and left with a big smile, stickers and balloon. I'm sure there will be no hesitation to visit Dr. Gamble in the future. Dr. Gamble made the exam and cleaning fun and entertaining, while also informative. Another mom in one of my toddler activity classes scolded me for some of my daughters binkie and bottle habits. Which made me feel worried and upset. Dr. Gamble evaluated her and let me know that all is more than fine and that all habits eventually are outgrown by the child. Even if there were some narrowing to her palette, it would most likely be something addressed with braces later on in life and not to worry. Dr. Gamble was so comforting and non judgemental and friendly all at the same time, that's why I cannot explain her other than Magical. She is our Magical tooth fairy in Redondo beach! Your children will have the best experience if you choose Dr. Gamble for them! read more

So impressed with the entire experience. It was my daughter's first dentist appointment and I was fully expecting it to be a struggle. From the minute she walked in, she was comfortable.
