Greetings to Bright Smiles Dental Studio's Team!!! They say legends are myths, however they happen in reality as well. I am grateful for the sun, for the moon, for this magnificent planet where we all live, but today I am grateful to my two favorite two legendary doctors and their staff who make our life brighter, better, and stress-free. They heroically worked even during the disastrous pandemic times to save peoples' teeth, and obviously their lives. Today I wish to commend my dear doctor Carlos Garcia, who blessed me by referring me to an incredible, amazing periodontist, an exceptional implant expert to Dr. Faroush (anoush-sweet) Gaminchi right on time. A while ago, I accidentally fractured my tooth from the root and after Dr. Garcia's thorough explanation how important it was to have an implant, to avoid any tooth or gum complications in the future, I agreed. Although I was scared to death, I am glad that I agreed because I had the pleasure and the honor to get to know Dr. Gaminchi, an incomparable in her field dentist. She performed multiple procedures, a surgery, and other dental procedures, on me. I am quite honest, no exaggerations, I never experienced any pain, any swelling, or even any bruises nor any complications. I only followed her instructions. I admire her for her strength, for her knowledge in modern dentistry, her courteous attitude, her warmth radiating from her heart, her caring nature. We, the patients are so fortunate to have Bright Smiles Dental with all the staff and the doctors. That is why I want to extend my deepest and sincere gratitude to all staff, to office manager Luisa, who always found ways to make my worries disappear. Honestly, every time when I would go to my appointments in order to calm me down, she would demonstrate and explain the difference between the implant and a single denture that was another choice for me. I am grateful to all dental assistants, to Elen who assisted Dr. Gaminchi during my last time visit, and performed a professional, gentle polish and cleaning too. I am very hopeful that one day she will embrace her dream of becoming a dentist. No doubts, since she is getting quality training and knowledge from Dr. Garcia and Dr. Gaminchi. With this said, allow me to take this opportunity to encourage everyone in the local community " Go to Bright Smiles Dental Studio, I guarantee you will never regret it. You will enter the office with fears but you will always leave the office with bright smiles; and bless the office. KUDOS TO BRIGHT SMILES DENTAL OFFICE!!!I With much love and respect, Ophelia Gevorkian

They are wonderful. Always very warm. I've never been made to feel bad (as with some other dentists) and they offer more natural solutions to every day dental care. I grew up extremely poor with a traumatic childhood. I did not get to go to the dentist until I was in my mid 20s. The 1st time I went to see a dentist, I was shamed. At Dr Garcia's office, I've been made to feel at home and guided through the process of keeping my teeth healthy. If you have any anxiety regarding dentistry, I recommend giving Bright Smiles Dental Studio a chance.
