Highly Recommend. great dentist and team, Stephanie is a Gem, so helpful. I will be coming here from now on.

place is ok. communication not great; I have to take off work to make it this. After waiting a month for my appointment, I went in for a cleaning and have a filling replaced. During the end of the cleaning, which was nice, since it was done by the assistant. The doctor comes in and asks if he needs me for anything, I said yes, for the filling. He tells me he needs to book me for another appointment, seemingly since the suction system for the building turns off at a certain time.. the next availability is another month away... So, why not book me with enough time in the first place, or know what I was there for ? I called to voice my complaint and he treats me like a child and I can go elsewhere. He's pretty condescending and heavy handed with his work anyway. read more

My story starts about 13 years ago. I had never been to the dentist on a regular basis and was extremely nervous about going. Stephanie at the front desk met me, she was warm and inviting, and she is still the first person you see when you arrive. I had large spaces between my front teeth as two of my upper teeth never came in. I hated my smile so much I avoided pictures all growing up, and used to cover my mouth when I would smile. On my first visit I ask Dr. Makani if there was anything I could do that was affordable. I really wanted vaneers but it wasn't something I had money to do. We decided to go with Bondings. Now this was "nice" it fixed the gaps in my teeth- but I knew I still wanted vaneers for a natural real look, which as good as the job was on my bondings its not the same. Dr. Makani was so very patient with me. Whenever I needed a touch up or to fix a chip he always happily took care of me. Bondings are not made to last more then 4 or so years. We often talked about the day I would someday get those vaneers. Well the years went on, and on and on. Life happens and before I knew it was 13 or so years later I knew I still wanted to get my Vaneers. After much sacrificing and saving, the day came.. I called Stephanie and made an Apt. to come in and get started. I did not realize how quickly this can all happen, but believe me you will be pleasantly surprised with how fast you can have your new smile. I was able to talk openly and get all the help I needed to find the look I think I wanted, the coloring and types of teeth I wanted and what they would look like. A week later they were in, and I couldn't be more thrilled- all my expectation were blown out of the water. My new teeth looked better then I could have imagined. To say I haven't stopped smiling yet and I constantly am looking at myself in the mirror would be an understatement. I cannot say enough about this dental office and its staff. They all deserve awards, or cookies, or at least a hug read more

See all

So glad I found Dr. Makhani! I couldn't be happier with the service and care that I have received at his office. It's sad to say but my recent experiences in dental offices had more to do with constant up selling of expensive and un needed procedures than my oral health. read more

Wonderful caring dentist and staff kind and efficient. From now on I'll only go to Dr. Mariani. Never met a dentist who takes such pride in his work to make others happy! Paulette Altrichter Los Angeles read more

I thought I had found the BEST dentist in LA UNTIL I decided against all the out of pocket additional recommendations he suggested throughout my visits. His attitude with me quickly changed. I had been very happy going there even after I moved to the valley so that should speak volumes as to how pleased I was with the dental technicians work, she was & has always been very professional & kind I highly recommend her. Dr Makhani didn't see me at all he was just given updates & made suggestions on how I could spend money. He was irritated I used charcoal at home but didn't want to pay him to whiten my teeth. I turned down his suggestion to get implants ($5k+) so he became irritated that I only wanted a partial made. It was downhill from there. In the end his last straw presented itself when he tried to adjust my partial and ended up ruining it by putting too much acrylic on it. It arrived absolutely perfect it just needed minor adjusting but I guess he was over it by then. Opposed to calling me & advising me it couldn't be fixed he waited for me to contact him. He gave me a BS excuse as to why the company he used could not provide me with a duplicate partial. When I asked for the company name he again gave some BS company that did not exist when I googled it. When I told him I was changing dentist he said that would be a good idea to go closer to home. Funny he would rather lose my business than to provide the care I requested even after going out of my way to maintain that location. He closed with a return check in the amount I paid for the partial & a note stating: "Our office wanted to let you know even though we lost money on your case we are still giving you a full refund" which gave me a chuckle, not only did he lose money (his only concern) but he thought his letter would make me feel bad because he had to return my money after HE ruined the partial. Proceed with caution, his office likes to suggest you spend out of pocket money.... stand your ground & make the best decisions for yourself. The Dr only had profit in mind. read more

Mehrdad Makhani, DDS - lol the office thought I was bothered because the Dr had to refund my money on a job he messed up on - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

THE WORST EXPIRIENCE EVER. DO NOT USE THEM! If I can put zero stars I would. First of all they have the worst customer service including the dentist Dr Makhani. Second if you want them to ruin your teeth this is the best place to go. I came in with a simple cavity on my tooth and I had absolutely no pain. He did some small drilling on my tooth to put in a filling. I am still in pain it's been a few month. I went to another doctor and they told me I need a root canal and said whoever worked on my tooth was the cause of my root canal. I forgot to mention that I had a few more very minor cavities that Dr Makhani tried to take care of and it ended up being root canals after he drilled into a few nerves. Highly NOT RECOMMENDED DO NOT USE THEM! I don't need to mention how unexperienced he and his entire team is. The way they talk to customers is so rude. "if you don't like it find another place" read more

Honestly might be the best dentist i've been to. The Doc is an honest dude. I came here originally for a chipped tooth. Not only did he give me a fair price but since the chip was a stubborn one he fixed it free of charge twice. The second time he used a brand new laser device that makes the filament stick 10x stronger. And the work has always looked great. The office staff is also really nice and helpful. 5 stars. read more

I HATE dentists. Let's start there. But I've been seeing Doc now for nearly 16 years, I think, maybe longer and I actually (almost) enjoy going there. He is honest and won't do extra work just because he feels like making more money, which is really important. He is very sensitive to my discomfort and tells me exactly what he's doing every step of the way. The hygienists are gentle and thorough. And the front office staff, especially Stephanie, is exceptional. No BS here. They are welcoming and efficient, always remind me ahead of time when my appointments are and work with your insurance to make sure it's all covered. Take any negative reviews with a grain of salt; most people dislike dentists. I have strayed twice in all these years, and both times I had crappy, unnecessary and expensive work done. Do yourself a favor and check out Dr. Makhani. PS: He does a ton of gratis dental work for low-income and underprivileged areas, which speaks volumes about his character. read more

I visited Dr. Makhani's office twice in the last seven months for teeth cleaning as he came highly recommended by a friend who gifted me these two treatments. Since I am pretty obsessed with my teeth and I try to keep them clean and white, I thought that the second cleaning--only six months away from the first one--would have been something quick and approximate. Well, no! Dr. Makhani's Igenist, a lovely lady, dedicated an impressive amount of time cleaning under my gums and paying attention to polishing each tooth. I am very impressed by the attention they have dedicated to such a routine procedure and to my teeth. Indeed an inspiration to keep up with the great job they did through self-care for the next six months, now! read more

I sought out Dr Makhani after I chipped a molar while eating a cheeseburger. I needed a crown. I guess this happens in your 50's. Teeth don't last forever, damn it! I honestly think that Dr Makhani is the best of all worlds in modern dentistry: 1) He's been licensed in California since 1988. He has a great depth of experience, especially with prosthetics. 2) During his exam and evaluation, he's friendly, energetic, honest and direct, but I think the best word to describe him is EARNEST. He asks for his patient's reactions and input. He gives options. He does the opposite of a hard sell, unlike a couple of other Los Angeles dentists I'd been to in the past. 3) His office is small, comfortable, and his staff is very friendly. 4) Receptionist Stephanie is so wonderful that she deserves a whole paragraph all to herself. She's warm and welcoming, and quite chatty! She makes you feel less like you're in a doctor's office, and more like you're in her living room for afternoon tea. Obviously, this is a nice experience to have before having a dental procedure :) The bottom line... go here and find a nice dental care experience. I have read some of the negative reviews here, and I think the LENGTHS of these reviews speak for themselves... unhappy people will always be unhappy. read more

Highly recommended! I have been a happy client for about 5 years and have spent quite a few hours in his chair. Dr. Makhani is great and has a very friendly staff - Hi Stephanie :) - who clearly strive to make each visit pleasant. The doctor is very communicative during procedures and clearly puts effort into ensuring a minimally painful experience. I cannot speak to costs because I don't have a comparison, but I am very happy as a client of Dr. Makhani's office. read more

Dr. Makhani is very special. He is very good for those who fear the dentist he is really great no pain. His staff very polite and professional You could not ask for better read more

Dr Makhani and his team are the best! He's so straightforward and tells it like it is. He's reasonably priced and doesn't push you to do unnecessary procedures. I've been coming here over 25 years. He always has a smile and he's a delight to be around! He really is a happy dentist! read more

I've been using Dr Mak for almost 17 years. This guy and his staff are great. Always professional, always the best. This guy takes days and works in low income areas of the city for free. He really cares about his patients and other communities. You don't see that anymore. Lending his services for free. Stefanie is great. Always smiling and ready to provide great service. read more

The absolute best dentist I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I came here with an assortment of problems from other dentists. I made a HUGE mistake of going to other dentists after going here for 5 years along time ago. They basically ruined my teeth and Dr MakhanI FIXED IT ALL! Best of all he won't lie he tells it how it is, my old dentist lied to me and told me i needed to fix things i did not just to get money. Dr Makhani just wants you to be happy. He will ask you 10 times if you are comfortable and make sure you feel good going there. I am doing a lot of work with him and i couldn't be more happier the receptionist the dental assistants are a pleasure. I just can't say enough good things about this doctor. Not only will i ALWAYS come here in the future i will recommend everyone i know to come here. Me and my mom go here and we COULD not be more happier. Thank you everyone who works here for making my experience a joy. I know no one likes going to the dentist but I am actually happy every time i step into this office! Right now i am getting my front teeth done and Doctor Makhani knows how important that is he is TRYING HIS BEST to make sure my teeth will be perfect. I can't stress enough how much of a pleasure it is going here. I wish i never made the mistake of going to other dentists who literally ruined alot of my teeth, but now that i am back with doctor Makhani I am so happy and thankful! read more

Dr. Makhani is the worst professional of any kind I've ever had the misfortune of interacting with. So much so that I have a hard time believing all of the reviews here are real, and that no negative reviews have been deleted. Short version: Dr Makhani stormed out of a dental procedure because I wasn't getting numb fast enough, then made me leave his office with my tooth half drilled and not at all filled, which then led to more tooth breakage the very next day, days of excruciating pain, and $500 additional in dental work. He cannot control his emotions and should not be in practice. Long Version: On 4/14 at 1PM I arrived at Dr. Makhani's office to have my tooth filled. When I arrived the doctor was sitting in the receptionist area alone. He seemed perturbed and I concluded this attitude was in response to the lateness of his receptionist and dental assistant, who did not arrive from their lunch breaks until approximately 1:07PM. Both ladies were very pleasant and set me up in the exam room. Initially the doctor re-introduced himself and confirmed which tooth he'd be working on and how, only referring to the tooth by its number and the procedure by its medical term, which I found strange since of course I am not a dental professional so I don't know my teeth by number or my cavity by medical type. He emphasized that this would be a quick procedure. He was very curt and rushed. I let him know, as I do all of my dentists, that I don't have dental anxiety but I am slow to numb from novocain shots. I have been this way my entire life and this novocain resistance runs in my family so it's not entirely uncommon. The doctor seemed fine with that and gave me a two shots of novocain, waited a minute or two, and then gave me a third. He then left the room with his assistant. Three minutes later, Dr. Makhani returned to the room with his assistant he started drilling, which I let him know was very painful. As I expected, I was not yet numb from the novocaine. He decided that I must need more Novocain and I agreed to him giving me a few more shots. He then left the room again to wait for these shots to take effect. Minutes later Dr. Makhani returned to the room again with his assistant, and although I told him I did not feel numb yet he started drilling again. This was of course painful. I reminded him that novocain does work for me, it just takes me longer to get numb. In a huff, he declared we'd wait ten more minutes. Dr. Makhani and his assistant returned to the room only five minutes later. He again started drilling, but this time made about 45 seconds worth of progress on the tooth before hitting a nerve that was not yet numb. The pain was blinding and I raised my hand in the customary manner to notify him that it was unbearable. Initially Dr. Makhani did not even stop drilling right away. Once he did, he said to me "well, what do you want me to do?" I didn't understand the question, so I told him that, as the patient, I only know I'm in pain when he is working. Since he is the professional, what he should do should be his informed decision. In response, Dr. Makhani slammed his drill back into it's holder, pulled off his gloves, shouted "well maybe you need to find a new dentist!" and stormed out of the exam room. I was shocked, disgusted, and scared. The dental assistant removed my bib and escorted me back into the waiting room, where Dr. Makhani sat at the receptionist desk, with his arms crossed, fuming. I told him that his behavior was the most unprofessional I've ever seen, and that its unacceptable to be angry with a patient for experiencing pain. He began to argue with me that all dental procedures have some discomfort, and I needed to grow up and deal with that. I am a 35 year old woman who has had eight cavities filled in her life, all under the administration of Novocain shots. After exchanging a few more words with the doctor and watching the receptionist and dental assistant stand behind him in fear (of him, not of me) I left the office. The women look like they've been through a lot with this man. Aside from his nasty, immature behavior, the doctor had drilled, but put in no filling, so I was walking around with an open tooth, which was dangerous and painful. On 4/15 (the next day) , a piece of the tooth that Dr. Makhani drilled but failed to fill broke off. This time it was very painful. I spent the next two days in serious pain before I was able to see yet another dentist who gave me a temporary filling. She told me that because so much of the tooth is now missing, I would definitely need a partial crown, which would cost $500 more than what Dr. Makhani was going to do. She took pictures and x-rays but was unable to confirm that the need for more extensive work was necessitated by the breakage I experienced after my experience with Dr. Makhani. I will be following up with everyone from Yelp to my insurance company to state and local dental association. read more

My last (lady) dentist slept with my boyfriend, so I started the hunt for a new dentist with admitted trepidation. Only requirement: He be a man! I found Dr Mehrdad Makhani through my insurance's preferred provider list, checked out his website and took a chance. Boy, did I hit the Dental Jackpot! Amazing dentist, amazing man. He is gentle, communicative and honest and his charity work makes him exceptional outside his office. I've had 2 Deep cleanings from his hygienists and both were not only pain-free, but the nurses took the time to show me how to improve at home, etc. And you can't talk about Dr Makhani without mentioning Stephanie, his receptionist/office manager, who is the most friendly, delightful and helpful person you'd ever want to meet, either inside or out of a dentist's office. I'd give him 6 out of 5 if I could! read more

I love Dr. Makhani!! He is sweet, kind, caring. He made me be less afraid of the dentist! The office (Tiffany at the front and the dental hygienists) are all fantastic. He is a great person and I am so happy I found him! read more

Best experience I've ever had at a dental office. I live in Granada hills and it's well worth the drive to LA just for dr. Makhani. The staff is amazing and super friendly. You instantly feel like you're at home. Best part yet, is that my 8 year old son looks forward to his dental appointments! Dr. Makhani , I love you so much and You better not be planing to retire anytime soon. read more

Mehrdad Makhani, DDS - My son loves Dr Makhani He keeps his teeth nice and clean. Thanks for teaching us how to care for our teeth we u & the staff. - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I flew across the country after moving to the LA every time I needed dental care. Never again, after 30 years I'm changing to a local dentist I can trust. The front office is sweet and organized. Can't ask for more. I still wouldn't mind knowing Ruth's old dentist though.... Thanks!!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Makhani & Stephanie for over 20 some years. I love this business. I love it because they are friendly, honest, professional, over all good human beings. It's like catching back up with old friends every time we go [of course my entire family gets their dental work done there as well]. Dr. Makhani even does community outreach every year to disadvantaged men, women and children. They are a breath of fresh air. read more

For years I avoided going to ANY dentist out an extreme fear of dentists and dentistry - especially Novocain shots! These shots alone kept me away from any dentist for decades! I only finally sought out a dentist when I *had* to, having heard my doctor propose: to "have all of your teeth pulled out and to get dentures!" I discovered Dr Makhani through the recommendation of a mutual acquaintance, and have been with him for several years now. He is the very first dentist to make me feel comfortable about having dental work done. My fear of Novocain shots and dental pain has all but vanished. I no longer experience the pain that I was always so fearful of for so many years that kept me away from the dentist. Dr Makhani is always gentle, and as he works, he checks in to see how I am doing and if I am comfortable. He walks me through the steps of what he's going to do, makes it easy for me to understand, and helps to make me feel always at ease. Do I *love* going to ANY dentist? Does anyone? No, of course not! BUT if Dr Makhani were to retire, I'd be back to square one with my fear of dentistry and finding another dentist with whom I trust as much as Dr Makhani. read more

This man is not just the best dentist, but he is an incredible man as well!! I began seeing Dr Makhani after a patient of his for the last 30yrs referred me. It's been almost 20 years for me, and I have referred him to everyone I know. I have always had the same feedback from others as I felt, he's the best! I have had challenging dental problems my entire life and Dr. Makhani and his incredible staff have helped me so much over the years. He is always looking out for his patience first, and his bottom line second. He will go above and beyond to help anyone. The excellence of his work isn't just him alone, but his entire of network of other dental professionals he works with. Everyone he has sent me to has been fantastic and I've always been thrilled with the results! From the basic cleaning to full dental surgery, fillings to crowns, I feel I've received the best service and attention possible. But more than that, The Doc and his entire staff are wonderful and bring so much joy and laughter to the usual dreaded dental visit! A true test of a good man, is seeing how everyone that works for him has been there for years, some of them 20+ years! I love going to the dentist now, it is like going to an old friends house for some laughs! Outside of his regular practice, Dr Makhani travels all over the country to provide free dental clinics to those who may not have the dental insurance or means. He has given his time and talents selflessly to make thousands smile :) I cannot even begin to put into words how incredible a person must be to do something like this. http://abc7.com/archive/7416703/ http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/03/22/coachella-indio-free-dental-vision-health-care-california-careforce-clinic/ read more

After a recent move to LA, I chose a dentist down the street from Dr. Makhani. I've always had excellent dental health and highly competent providers, but for the first time in my life I didn't feel that particular dentist was very thorough. So I switched providers and visited Dr. Makhani and his terrific staff for a cleaning. Once bitten (so to speak; it's a dental office after all), twice shy, so I was a bit wary when told the office was running about 20-30 minutes behind schedule. The delay ended up being closer to 20 minutes, and am I glad I didn't reschedule! First up was the lovely and talented Debra, one of Dr. Makhani's charming dental assistants. (She bares sharp objects around my teeth and gums, and I know better than to anger someone like that!) Kidding aside, Debra gave my pearly whites a very thorough scaling -- not my favorite thing -- and was very humorous and sweet-natured. Dr. Makhani gave me a preliminary clean bill of health, which I expected, and he was likewise very professional and pleasant to deal with. He welcomed me to the Makhani "family," and I believe that's exactly how he treats all his patients. His receptionist, Stephanie, is also very friendly and welcoming, and we shared a couple of laughs at my expense. Highly recommended! read more

I have been going to Dr. Makhani for over 20 years. I have never felt so much trust, honor, patience, expertise, compassion, love and care with any other doctors who's services I have used. He is a humble and talented man. We love him and his staff xoxoxoo to you Stephanie! A shining light among the dim bulbs.... ~Kristin, William, Bryce, Kody & Dylan Knox read more

Great dentist. Kind and explains all the extra charges. He is gentle can cares about you leaving happy. The staff is very friendly. I usually hate the dentist but he is great. read more

Dr. Mehrdad Makhani and his staff are very friendly and professional willing to go the extra steps to insure you get the best treatment possible by giving you a full description of all important details you may want to know. Dr. Makhani always takes time to explain what you may need done in any easy way to understand procedures you may need. He has a way with people that makes you feel at easy and comfortable that he's going to the best job he can for you. I would recommend everyone to give him a try, you will not regret it!. Keep up the good work everybody. Regards, Tommie Ramos read more

This was one of the best, if not THE BEST dental experiences I have ever had. Dr. Mekhani and his ENTIRE staff guided me through the procedure of replacing a MD bridge with a lava zirconia crown/bridge system. Not only did he give me the ability to have a secure, strong tooth, but for the first time in 43 years I can bite into foods ! And to add to that experience, my smile and teeth line has never looked better. There aren't enough stars to rate him and his staff accurately enough ! Thanks ! read more

I've been going to Dr. Makhani for quite a while now and this review is far overdue. I'm not a yelper by any means but this man and his amazing team deserve my little time here. I was referred by a friend years ago when I moved to Los Angeles from Kentucky. Searching for a great DDS is a pain, especially when you come from a small town with few options to what seems like an infinite pool here in LA. Needless to say my friends' recommendation of Dr. Makhani's office was nothing short of a miracle. Stefanie at the front desk is a gem and a great conversationalist. The office is clean and incredibly friendly. I refer all my friends in need of dental care to Dr. Makhani; actions that will never change as long as I live here. read more

New to Los Angeles, I was referred to Dr. Makhani by a friend. One of the best recommendations I ever received! You are greeted by Stephanie the receptionist who makes you feel like you've been friends forever and has an infectious laugh, making you feel at ease. When you are taken back to Dr. Makhani, he has such a warmth about him that you relax. I had to have a root canal (long overdue because I didn't have insurance) and he made it seem like a manicure! Painless. (I love that they numb the gum before the shot now!) I was so impressed that I shared with him my desire to one day have veneers. He and Stephanie worked out a plan for me, and I now have a Hollywood smile and the veneers I always wanted! I will now pass on that recommendation to anyone who's looking to give their smile a little love. Don't let your lack of insurance keep you from taking care of your teeth. Call and see what options are available to you. And make sure to tell Stephanie that Fuz sent you! read more

I've been going to Dr. Makhani for about 17 years and I refuse to see any other dentist. He is simply the best. He is very honest and straightforward about any work that needs to be done and I trust him entirely. He'll work with you if you have any type of issues (yes, even anxiety!). His staff is as awesome as he is and I see a dental hygienist at his office, too. Everyone is extremely personable and I've never felt like a "number". I know I can contact his office if I have an emergency, questions or need advice. Everyone is always willing to help and go the extra mile! Dr. Makhani has had to send me to a specialist a couple of times for special work; I followed and trusted his recommendation. The specialist even consulted with Dr. Makhani before doing any kind of work! This is someone who doesn't mind the extra attention for his patients' health and well-being. I would recommend Dr. Makhani to anyone I know because I know there is no one else around who provides this level of professionalism and care, with such genuine kindness and honesty. Don't look any further, he is your next (and last) dentist! read more

I picked a dentist from my insurance list based on location... That proved to be the wrong method. I then sat down with my insurance list of dentists and cross referenced it with yelp. It was a tedious process but proved to be a worthwhile endeavor. I've been to Dr. Makhani twice now and I'm going again soon for the third time. Each visit has been a good experience (as good as going to the dentist can be). The office is clean, I haven't had to wait much more than a few minutes, they've seen me on short notice, and the staff is very friendly. I recommend this dentist to everyone. read more

Dr. Makhani is the nicest and most caring dentist I've ever been to. I found him on a lark and now travel from Tarzana just to see him because his love for his patients is unparalleled. He cares about his patients so much that he gets emotional about their care. I recently had to have a tooth pulled and Dr. Makhani seemed almost more upset than I was. (and I was pretty upset). He even gave me his cell number to call him if I had any additional questions about my decision to have it pulled. The last thing he wants is for his patients to be in pain. That said, he's very liberal with the lidocaine which I appreciate to no end. Every time you go in for your appointment, he is in good spirits that it's contagious. Dr. Makhani is the kind of dentist you always wished for as a kid, but never got. And now you can. Now let's talk about the wonderful treatment from the staff Dr. Makhani has chosen. Stephanie is a wonderful addition to his practice, always making sure she can get me in, no matter how late the notice. Her funny and caring personality is the first step to a good experience at the office. Again, Tarzana - Miracle Mile. read more

Dr Makhani is a true GEM! He has great skill and great heart! Never been to a dental office that is more reasonable and honest. I always get fantastic care here. My kids adore him which is rare to say about children and dentists. Highly recommended. read more

My family has been patients of Dr Makhani for many years. Dr Makhani is one of the most sensitive, compassionate people I have ever met. He volunteers by organizing and participating in humanitarian causes to aid disadvantaged Who so not otherwise have access to healthcare. Dr Makhani's office manager Stephanie has been there for many years. She is friendly and flexible. Together they make a great team to ensure the patients needs are met and Exceeded. I moved from LA 10 years ago and can't seem to find a good experience so I actuly make special trips to LA for dentistry with Dr Makhani read more

OK. When I moved to Los Angeles about 10 years ago I asked a family friend for recommandation on an honest and straight forward dentist. Dr. Makhani Became our family dentist and has been an amazing Dentist and Friend. A few things about Dr. Makhani: 1. He ALWAYS greet you with a smile and knows you and your dental history as if you are his only patient. 2. He does NOT brag about his job nor talked bad about any other dentists whose patients have moved to Dr. Makhani. 3. He is very honest. He tells you what issues you have and your options and MOST IMPORTANTLY he doesn't push you/sell you on any of the options. He simply tells you pros and cons about each option. Here is my personal experience. The very first visit to his office he did the regular checkups and cleaning. It was a day I never forget. He sat there and told me my gums are in a rough shape. I was 28 and my pockets were as deep as a 45 years old male. Now my options where simple. Keep your teeth or not :) of course I went with the first option. Then it was the option of gum surgery which beside the cost and pain there was no 100% guarantee if it was going to save my gum and teeth :) The other option was a medical mouth wash. Which made me think... hum... if my gums are bad is this recommandation would save them?! Dr. Makhani went through the process on HOW he was planing to save my gum and teeth which in every cleaning would bleed non stop as there was infection everywhere. He said, you'll use this mouth wash (it's prescription mouthwash) every night. then you do cleaning every 3 months. He also told me the only think about this mouth wash is might stain your teeth but it'll save them. So I took this option and ran with it for a year. Now not only my pockets are to their minimum level, I only do regular cleanings and no deep needed, but I also see the results with my eyes where no bleeding when flossing and no bleeding when cleaning :) HE DOES WONDERS. My wife is also his patients and we have nothing but great experience with every procedure he had done for us. PS. his staff rock too. from front desk to assistant are super super nice people. They always take their time to inform you if you have any questions. read more

I really like Dr. Makhani and his staff. Since I moved to Los Angeles 3 years ago, I switched dentists 4 times due to bad experiences with dentists. I'm so glad to have finally found Dr. Makhani because he clearly has a lot of experience and I appreciate his sense of humor. Also, Stephanie, the receptionist has fantastic follow through and all the hygenists are caring and gentle. I postponed teeth cleaning for six years, but Stephanie talked me into it. My cleaning was quick and pain free, which I percieved to be a miracle. Also, they don't try to sell me things that I don't need and explain everything very clearly. I really recommend Dr. Makhani. He is a good and funny guy. read more
