Dr. Banaria and staff are always welcoming. Since coming here, my anxiety over being at the dentist has lessened, I've added some better habits and routines, and I feel more confident coming in for a check up. Thanks Dr. Banaria and team! read more

Dr. Banaria is excellent. It's simple to get set up with an appointment. Her staff is very nice and professional. Her office building is on the east side of Hollywood and well maintained. I didn't have notice any cleanliness issues. It was an easy appointment from start to finish, from taking x-rays to discussing my treatment plan and doing my cleaning. She feels like a breath of fresh air after some of the horror story dental offices in Beverly Hills I have been dealing with for the past few years. Very thankful I found her. And her prices are reasonable, although my dental insurance only covers one cleaning annually I don't mind paying out of pocket. I will be back in six months! read more

Everyone in this office does their job extremely well. It makes for a great experience. Plus Dr. Banaria is skilled yet gentle. So minimal pain! read more

I've been going here for years. Did my crown, cleaning and yearly check up. Dr. Banaria is pleasant and very gentle. Scheduling flexible specially the LA location, so convenient from work. I could just take a lunch break and get my teeth done. read more

I love Dr. Banaria and won't go to anyone else. I'm terrified of needles and Novocain injections and I had to have one today and I felt nothing! Totally painless experience. Dr. Banaria is so caring, patient and knowledgeable. As a DMD it's elevated care. She's got my business for life! read more

This place is awesome. Dr. Banaria is kind and friendly as well as the staff especially Manny. I waited for my daughter for her root canal appointment and Manny made sure that the wait was comfortable by turning the TV on and offering water. This maybe a simple gesture but this means a lot. Great customer service! read more

Vivian Banaria, DMD - Reception Area - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I should have known this place would be a problem. First it took forever for someone to answer the phone I finally got a call back after 2 messages and calling 5 or 6x. I was persistent because it was close by, covered by insurance and the reviews were great. Once the lady called me back the appt was booked quickly. I was set to come in the week of Christmas. A few days before my appt I text the number listed to confirm they took my insurance and covered crowns. Someone texted me back and rudely said they didn't cover crowns. We went back and forth for several minutes on text only for him or her to say "well most of the time the insurance denies our request for crowns" and then said it doesn't matter because we don't have any appts open until next year. I told him/her I had an appt scheduled for later in the week. They turned around and said oh you must be going to the Hollywood location I'm at the West Covina location. Needless to say she gave me another number. Called them the lady said she would verify with my insurance and she'd she me at the appt. Appt day. I arrived 15 mins early and waited about 10 mins before going back and it was not Dr. Vivian Banaria who came in the room to see me. A guy came in he was nice but felt like he was rushing. He also didn't have a face shield over his mask and that made me a little uncomfortable since he was going to be all up in my mouth. He took some x-rays looked in my mouth said you have to get a crown we'll submit for it. The whole experience with him was about 6 mins!! Sitting here today wondering when they were going to call me about the crown because the tooth that needs it is starting to hurt. Called my insurance and was told they NEVER submitted for the crown! WTF?!?! read more

Dr. Banaria and Dr. Ngo are very professional. My husband and I have been going there for years already. Very happy with their staff also. Will deifnitely recommend them :-) read more

I've been going to Dr. Banaria for about 2 years now and there's really no other dentist I would recommend at this point. She is very thorough with her work and highly skilled. I'm very sensitive so I was so happy to discover that Dr. Banaria is gentle and doesn't rush. She explains very well what she'll do before she begins anything. Throughout a procedure she'd ask me if I was comfortable or if anything hurt. She has superb attention to detail which is a big plus. Dr. Banaria and staff are all very professional, kind and accommodating. The LA office is immaculate. They wipe everything down before, during and after each patient including the waiting room area. Perfect during these times. Ample parking also. read more

Dr. Banaria and her staff are amazing. They are always responsive by phone, call/text to remind me of appointments and are just all around pleasant. They have ample parking (at least on Saturdays). You get a goodie bag after every visit and Dr. Banaria is always available, friendly and takes her time answering questions. She has never tried to recommend unnecessary services and gives you a timeline as to when procedures are needed. The office is small but I've never felt rushed and my appointments have always started on time. read more

My expectations were exceeded. A very friendly staff and professional staff.I highly recommend this business to all my friends & associates.. read more

Vivian Banaria, DMD - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had tried a few dentists before finding this place and wow what a relief it is to find a gentle, kind dentist that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable! After being traumatized by another dr I am so grateful to have found Dr Banaria and absolutely recommend her. She's super kind and works fast. read more

I finally found a great dentist's office! I'm so happy! Relieved! You know that numbing shot? The one that always makes me weep like a baby? Dr. Banaria's administration of it was hardly even noticeable. I didn't cry! I ALWAYS cry! I chose this office because of their no/low BPH fillings (Clearfil), but also based on my call with the male receptionist who so patiently answered my panicked questions. But my two visits there so far have been absolutely stellar. The office is very clean. There is no wait. They have no trouble negotiating with insurance or setting appointments. Everyone I've met there has been polite, efficient and kind. And they accept Denti-Cal. But what I really want to stress here is the quality of care with Dr. Banaria. This is what I love about her work: 1. She gives the shot with the lightest touch I've ever experienced 2. She explains in plain language what's going on and what she sees 3. She offers a plan, but also isn't forceful about procedures. 4. She has never shamed me about the state of my teeth 5. She listens. She isn't rushed. But also the procedures seem to take no time at all. 5. I feel confident in her skill and knowledge Today the assistant dropped the little mirror thing on the floor while they were working on my teeth. Dr. Banaria picked it up and left the room, returning with a new mirror, still in it's wrapping. I'm telling you, this place is legit. It's a sterile, well orchestrated business with a calm, highly skilled doctor at the head. So if you're like me and have been avoiding the dentist because of past bad experiences, give Dr. Banaria a call. You'll be in good hands. read more

So precise yet so gentle!! Honestly the best dentist I've been to so far. They accept medi-cal if you have/switch to health net.

I was searching for the right dentist for awhile until I found Dr. Banaria. She's patient, kind and knowledgeable. I completely trust her and she's also very gentle at administering the numbing shots. You barely feel it! Her staff is also very helpful and friendly. Look no more because Dr. Banaria is the best! Highly recommend. read more

The doctor was absolutely amazing, very efficient in cleaning and explaining to me what was going on with my teeth. Also, the assistant was very gentle and super kind! The whole experience exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy I found this office. Thank you! read more

She is my favorite dentist!!!!! Teeth cinching thing is in the past with Dr. Vivian Banaria. I seem to have problem with getting numbing to work but she really takes her time to make sure my gums are really numb before starting her work with me. And that's huge relief for me as I really hate to feel that needle poking sensation with your nerves. And she does through job, which is like bonus for me. I think having updated equipment also really helps. She always shows me what and how job was done by actually showing me worked on tooth with small mouth camera connected to screen. It's like now I know how my teeth actually look like. read more

Our family loves Dr. Banaria. Our family (of 5) has been looking for a family dentist for a long time. She has been taking care of our teeth for 2 years and we feel comfortable and happy ever since. Dr Banaria and her staff are very welcome and sweet. All of our treatments with her have been painless. We highly recommend Dr Banaria! read more

Vivian Banaria, DMD - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The best experience ! I was able to schedule online which was super convenient, especially since they also accept my Denti-Cal insurance. I had almost no wait time and was out the door after just about an hour. Dr Banaria was great and very gentle with my cleaning but my teeth still feel so clean ! The most minimal pain ever with a cleaning and I had a good amount of buildup on them. The assistant and receptionist were also very sweet and professional. Parking was also not a problem which I appreciated. Overall very happy and I will be back! Thank you again for taking care of me ! read more

I've been looking for a good dentist for years! My mother in law recommended Dr. Banaria and now all my family comes here. We've all had major work done. Both with and without insurance. Love her dental hygienist. All so sweet and efficient! Recommend to anyone! read more

Vivian Banaria, DMD - Brother and I talking about her and her staff. - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

POOR Customer SERVICE I called today to make an appointment. The front desk lady asked my name 20 times. Then booked an appointment on 20th April, which is three more weeks. The. An hour later she called back again. And ask my name another 20 times keeping me on hold, she told me she was looking for my name . Then asked me again, that if she can book my appointment on 20th April. When I asked her, she booked my appointment an hour ago then why she is asking me again. As a patient it is confusing for me. She she "OMG " then hung up on me. I will call my insurance and complain about it . You do not treat your client with that manner.. Get a new front desk assistant who actually know their job. read more

This dentist is the best dentist I've ever seen. She genuinely cares about her patients and their oral health. Being a Medi-Cal patient, I've had my share of bad dentists. She does not judge you and also has very fair prices if your insurance doesn't cover it. I only wish I knew about her years ago. Would have saved me a lot of headache. Thank you so much. read more

I recently moved to LA and needed a new dentist and I was lucky in finding Dr. Banaria. Her offices are clean and modern. She is super friendly and very gentle. She will even play Netflix for you while you're getting you work done! They also have awesome promotions going on (free teeth whitening!) and even discounts for those who don't have insurance. Also, she is open on Saturdays which is awesome if you work during the week! I highly recommend her. read more

What a wonderful, kind and patient dentist! Feels like getting dental work from my favorite aunt!

Generally, I am a bit worried going to dentists because I had a terrible experience with my first dentist. However, Dr. Banaria is everything I've ever hoped for. I called to set up an appointment with her, but no one answered at first. However, I got a call back on the same day and was able to set up an appointment. I believe I spoke with Dr. Banaria herself, and she was very patient with me being a first-time client. Dr. Banaria's kind and welcoming aura will put you at ease, and you'll know right away that you can trust her to take care of your dental needs. On top of that, her staff (shoutout to Connie and Maria) are incredibly sweet and professional. Their accomodation skills are truly top notch. Her office is also neat. Usually, dental offices scare me, but the ambiance in her office is so relaxing. I am so happy and blessed to meet Dr. Banaria! I will definitely come back and ask my entire family to go to her for all our dental needs. P.S...whoever gave her a bad review is a hater read more

I found my new dentist and I will be recommending others to go to her as well. Dr. Banaria explained everything in detail and had outstanding bed side manners.

They're also very professional and efficient. read more

This is our new dentist love it highly recommend this office very clean and staff are also very nice. read more

Just amazing! Everyone who works here is so incredibly sweet and thoughtful. Dr. Banaria is so gentle, i couldn't recommend her enough! With medi-cal it's tough to find a doctor that you can really trust and feel comfortable with and this whole team wows me! read more

This isn't a review about the DMD Banaria's skills, its about her receptionist. Some guy named Chris is answering the phones who literally hung up on me twice by accident while taking down basic information. I had to repeat how to spell my name, which is very easy three times. And he still got it wrong. He then said he would give me a call a couple of days in advance for a reminder for my appt but didn't get the number correct after I asked him to repeat it twice. When I asked could I please speak to someone different he said he was it. What the heck. read more

Dr. Banaria and her staff are awesome! She is the best dentist I have ever gone to and I'm not exaggerating. Dr. Banaria was recommended by a coworker. Thank you Yvette! I just had a crown put in today. It was painless. The doctor is patient and gentle. She takes the time to explain what she is doing and why. She will answer any questions you have. She has great chair side manner and is adept at easing a patients' fears. The staff is friendly and helpful. I think the best part is that you can listen to any music you want to using headphones while the procedure is going on. So if you want an honest and caring dentist with a wonderful staff, do yourself a favor and call Dr. Banaria's office to set-up an appointment. You won't regret it - I didn't! read more
