    Dr. G is the best in town! Too bad he's retiring and he will be sorely missed. He has the most gentlest hands and after getting a couple procedures from him, I knew I wouldn't want to see anyone else. The office was nice and well-kept. My kids enjoyed the treasure chest that they get to choose a toy from. They also loved watching cartoons while being worked on.

    "Don't stand so close to the mirror." That's what Michael Giovannini, DDS told me when I complained that the veneer he had put on my chipped left front tooth didn't match my other teeth and was longer that the other front tooth. MY FRONT TOOTH?!?!?! A friend told me it looked like I had a piece of Chiclet gum stuck in my mouth! Even worse, two months later my over $750.00, badly crafted, Chiclet veneer popped completely off of what he left of my natural tooth. Of course I went right back, but was told the Dr. Giovannini was retiring and that Dr. Markarian was a new partner in the corporation. Dr. Markarian's remedy was to crown the tooth for $1,500.00, with no credit for the over $750.00 I had already paid out-of-pocket for the short-lived veneer. If I really wanted a perfect match, he'd crown all of my front teeth for $12,000.00. Then Dr. Markarian threw Dr. Giovannini under the bus saying that he never would have recommended a veneer in the first place. Hell no! I went to Shalini Singh, DDS for another opinion. She said I didn't need a bunch of crowns and that needless crowns would ruin my other teeth. She sent me to a color matching dental lab in Valencia for precise match of color, opacity, and luster. Dr. Giovannini held a few sample teeth in the spot where I had chipped my tooth and chose one proclaiming, " Yup, that's close enough." My new veneer is indistinguishable from my other teeth and not popping off. If you care about your dental health and appearance, avoid this office!

    I absolutely LOVE my dentist and his entire staff! Our entire family sees Dr. Giovannini and he is amazing. I have extreme anxiety when it comes to dental work and no pain tolerance, they work with me and make sure I'm comfortable during the entire process. They are very patient and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Giovannini and his team. Added bonus is the flower after my teeth cleaning.

    Great dental office. The staff is all amazing, I highly recommend them. The office is very clean and organized, and they go out of their way to accommodate you and help.

    If you see this your in the right place!

However, I do have ongoing issues with the clinic's scheduling policies. Today, I was running 10 minutes late due to work. I commute from L.A. and already have to leave early from my job to make it to these appointments. I was told they only allow a 5-minute grace period because the doctor has a long commute--which I understand, but frankly, that's part of her job. I also have a long commute. I also lose time and money when appointments are inflexible. It feels one-sided to ask for consideration of their time while showing none for the time and cost their patients invest. Especially given that this clinic is on the pricier side, I expected a little more flexibility and understanding. To make things worse, the next available appointment they could offer was three months out. So basically, if you're a few minutes late due to life happening, your child has to wait months for a reschedule. It's disappointing, because the care itself is great. But the lack of scheduling empathy makes it hard to justify long-term.

    Trying to find a dentist that I like and trust seems to be a bit harder than I thought. My favorite…read moredentist retired and it has been a couple of years of seeing new dentists trying to find the right one. I think I have it! Every aspect of the customer service was warm and calm and cheerful. I also took my son, who is 9 and was worried about everything - he was treated kindly and respectfully. In the past, I've seen dentists that find all kind of issues that were conveniently covered by insurance. Or, they poke you in the gums with a sharp instrument and say - WHOA you're gums bleed, you need a special deep cleaning that your insurance will pay for! Huh. A sharp dental instrument made me bleed? What a racket. When either of those two things happen I'm not coming back to your office. Nothing of the sort happened to us. First, the x-rays at the dentist can sometimes be the hardest part! I really appreciated the dental assistant's way of handling my occasional issue - she just calmly moved on to the next area (which required a different bite), and then went back to the problem areas later. This definitely kept me from getting flustered and it was no problem when she went back. It had been a year (COVID) since we had been to the dentist. They could have told me anything and I might have believed it. But we both were cleaned up and polished by Dr. Phil. No cavities. No pressure to do anything unnecessary. Good advice about braces, too! Also, the cleaning was that little water pressure deal, no scraping. Thank the lort. Fast and pain free. Naturally, everything was very clean, everyone was masked and gowned and there was hand sanitizer everywhere, etc. It is a nice office in general. Cool that you get x-rays and treatment all in one room. We will be back and I will be recommending Lancaster Dental to others.

The office is clean, welcoming, and really designed to help children feel comfortable and at ease during their visit. My son loves the TVs above the bed they lay in the get their work done. Really distracts him during his work. The staff takes the time to explain everything and makes sure both kids and parents feel relaxed and informed. If my son is nervous about anything they stop and try and gesture what they're doing in a separate way. I really appreciate the office manager Cristela's kindness when we're in there. She came by to check on us to make sure we were happy with everything. Definitely found my son's forever dental office!

    This is the most incompetent place of business that I've ever dealt with. Let's start with Angie…read more She makes promises that she cannot fulfill. She's either stupid or illiterate. She told me she was going to screenshot my daughter's records, and I never received them. (After 4 days). Apparently everyone keeps saying that she is new so they're throwing their own staff member under the bus. Let's move on to Kathy. It might start with a "c" for other reasons. She has no idea what is going on in her office and can answer zero questions. She sent me a screenshot of two lines that I included in this post for proof. There is no doctor, business, patient, or parent information. Criscela is the manager at this establishment yet she was in a manager meeting ALL DAY! on Monday from 9am to 5pm. So you are telling me that a manager was involved in an," all day meeting" from 9 AM to 5 PM???????????? This office overbooks patients and the quality is showing. I will never bring my children back to this dentist. Not one single person could get the information that I was requesting. This is the worst dental office for children! Do not take your children here! Side note Criscela never called me! Shows how much she cares All day manager meeting lol BULLSHIT You can charge my insurance but you have shit service, especially for kids

    Before finding a new dentist for my adult son, I finally looked into why the local small-town…read morefamily dentistry feel of this office was off? We had come for years without issue! This place is under new ownership, as of a few years ago, It was bought out by a young neurotic dentist named Dr. Sangani. This place can't keep any dentists or cleaning staff. You will not get the same hygienist. No consistency! One visit you need this, next is that , and of course the price went up! This micro manager dentist hops from room to room and totally interrupts whatever conversation or treatment you are undergoing. The owner has little manners or etiquette and you can truly see the frustration on the employees face. That's why you don't see the same employees 6 months later. You can overhear the pressure his employees are under to over-charge and over diagnose treatments. "What about this, what about that, did you suggest this." All to milk money out of scared patients. Likely there is shady billing happening but I didn't stick around to find out. I sat and witnessed his odd antics (and he wouldn't stop talking- Sir, we have lives!, stop the chit chat so we can get our treatment done and be about our day). Enough is enough and we are now going to another dentist in town. Avoid this narcotic, self absorbed, narcissistic owner. Bad vibes!

    I had a terrible experience with a dentist. I grind my teeth at night, so I asked if I could buy a…read morenight guard online for $100. The dentist recommended their night guards, which used a laser to scan my teeth for a precise fit. I bought the $400 night guard and wore it for six months, which helped prevent grinding. However, I noticed my bite was changing. When I returned to the dentist, they checked the night guard and realized my teeth weren't touching it, only my molars. I trusted their claim of precision. They shaved off the night guard to make it fit, but my bite had changed, and my teeth no longer touch when I close my mouth. Both dentists are unattentive. The staff keeps changing, likely because they don't like working there. They also overcharged my family and made them pay out of pocket instead of waiting a month to use insurance.
