Crowns for Kids Program The Community Outreach Committee at West Los Angeles Dental Society (WLADS) has been working hard to help the South Bay Childrens Health Center (SBCHC) provide dental care to dentally underserved children in our community. The Crowns for Kids Program, which was spearheaded by Dr. Westernoff, had a very successful first year. Any dentist can collect crowns from their patients. Its easy to ask, and patients feel like they are giving back, as well. You would be amazed how many people donate.
An estimated 10 million Californians experience barriers to dental care. The California Dental Association Foundation and CDA host CDA Cares, a program that allows volunteer dentists, with the assistance of other dental professionals and community volunteers, to provide dental services at no charge to more than 2,000 patients at each event.
Give Kids a Smile The American Dental Association started Give Kids a Smile (GKAS) nine years ago. It is the nations largest proactive approach to serving the dental needs of children from low income families who do not have access to care. The program includes education, as well as preventative and restorative care. GKAS takes place in every state. The program is supported by the California Dental Association. GKAS is an annual centerpiece to National Childrens Dental Health Month (NCDHM), and is observed every year on the first Friday in February, while NCDHM is celebrated during the entire month of February.
Western Los Angeles Dental Society (WLADS) has assisted in organizing a community GKAS event with the South Bay Childrens Health Center (SBCHC) for the past few years. As a member of the WLADS board, Dr. Westernoff has supported these events by recruiting volunteer dentists and securing supplies and funding.
In 2010, Oral Surgery Partners volunteered a weekend day for no-cost oral surgical services in support of the GKASs annual event with SBCHC. The success of this program was brought about through coordinated care with Dr. Megha Sata, who is the primary dentist at SBCHC.
We are looking forward to the next GKAS event on February 4-5, 2018, at the SBCHCs new location in Lawndale, California. Drs. Johnsin and Westernoff along with the [practice_naem] team expect to continue their support at their office in Redondo Beach.

Adding another 5 star to review to Dr. Westernoff's flawless rating. I have the most insane anxiety and have put off my wisdom teeth for so long. I called on a Tuesday and by Thursday, I'm home without my wisdom teeth and zero pain. From start to finish, my pain has been a steady 0-1 out of 10 which amazes me considering I've been taking only ibuprofen. He was funny, quick, and relaxing. When I got home, I felt some intense numbness far after the local anesthetic wore off and I sent him a text asking what he thought. Not only did he respond in 10 mins (in the middle of the night) giving me advice, but he was dead on and by the morning I had gotten full nerve function back. This man is a legend and deserves all of the recognition. Go to home for all of your procedures.

I recently got my wisdom teeth removed by Dr Westernoff and it was an amazing experience. I was rather afraid at first but I did not feel anything and had no pain afterwards. I thought I would have all sorts of pain in the days after surgery, but he used a special medication that kept me from feeling any pain. Dr. Westernoff is a very nice person and all of his staff are very friendly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs some sort of oral surgery.

Not only was I able to get in to see Dr. Westernoff for a single wisdom tooth removal on very short notice, but to my genuine surprise, both the procedure and the recovery were virtually painless! I feel so blessed to have been referred to Dr. Westernoff, whose skill and "good hands" as an Oral Surgeon made the procedure go so smoothly. Everyone who works at the office is also incredibly kind and comforting. I fully recommend Dr. Westernoff and his team.

My experience with Dr. Mardirosian and staff exceeded my expectations. As soon as I arrived my Covid19 concerns were alleviated as it was very apparent they were following specific safety protocols to address this matter. During my appointment I appreciated everyone's professional and caring manner. The procedure went well and there was minmal discomfort afterwards. Dr. Mardirosian followed up with me the same day to see how I was doing and then called me at a later time to let me know what the test results were. All in all a five star experience!

Dr. Westernoff was beyond wonderful!! He was so kind and really took his time explaining to my son who was really nervous about his procedure. He is very knowledgeable and has a great staff...all were very comforting. I knew my son was in good hands!! I highly recommend this office. My son had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and had very little to no swelling. He tells me he remembers giggling talking to Dr. Westernoff and the next thing he knew he was done! Thank you so much from Sammy he said your awesome and cool doctor!!!

I recently had two wisdom teeth pulled from them and it was the most easy, comfortable, smooth process. The entire staff is SO SO kind and knowledgeable. Really thankful we found this place. They literally took us when no one in our insurance would take me till a MONTH LATER. Seriously would recommend them.

Dr Westernoff, who, by the way, is an Medical Doctor AND a dentist, removed all 4 of my daughter's wisdom teeth. He made extra efforts to help her. As painful as this is for young people, this was as perfect as getting wisdom teeth out could be. Prep. Information. Care. Skill. Followup. Just tops. Staff is kind and quick and attentive and thoughtful and professional. Utterly great start to finish.

Very few people like this (Dr. Westernoff) left on this planet. I moved to Arizona and still prefer to spend the extra money to fly there than to see anyone else.
