Dr. George and his staff are amazing. They are kind and professional. They welcome me as a part of their work family. If I could get my teeth cleaned more often, I would! I love going to my dentist!

I had what I thought was a small dental emergency. Turned out to be larger than we all thought. Dr. George & staff didn't skip a beat assessing and getting me fixed up & on my way, which meant juggling other appointments.

Literally called and got an appointment the same day! Now this may not be normal, they did have a cancels, but the whole staff was friendly and informative. Dr George is great as well! Will be recommending to everyone I can!

Matt on his day off on July 4th took time to help my daughter who hit her mouth in a diving board. Matt took good care of her and I highly recommend him.

It's very rarely that I go in and don't see someone I know! All of my family sees Dr George and today I ran into very good friends of mine there My friend insisted we all get a picture and of course, a very sweet employee took it. She also helped my friend get his wife out of her wheelchair! All of the employees go above and beyond.I had to have a tooth pulled due to pain.The staff made sure that they got me in very fast. Dr George was asking, while pulling my tooth, if I was okay. My tooth had 3 roots. That's pretty rare but he got it out with very little pain. . I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually enjoy going to this dentist. Dr George and all the staff are phenomenal! This is the best dental office in Southwest LA!!

As someone with extreme dental anxiety, Dr. George and the entire staff made sure I felt comfortable the entire time I was there. You can truly see they care about their patients and making sure they get the best possible treatment. I really appreciate how friendly, caring, non-judgmental and professional everyone was and they really helped make me feel more at ease.

With extreme gratitude and appreciation I share this review. Dr. Matthew George and staff have always been genuine, extremely kind, friendly and professional. Case in point, they have always been available for my family. Today was my unplanned visit. A crown of mine came loose last night during dinner. I called this morning and I was fortunate to have a slot available to get me in immediately. Everyone was courteous and made me feel relaxed. Dr. George and team were thorough, efficient and timely getting my crown set. He has a gift as a dentist and great person. Thank you Dr. George and staff!
