Dr. Sahar Yaftaly was born in Granada Hills, CA and grew up in Simi Valley. Her passion for dentistry began by volunteering at the Free Clinic of Simi Valley where she met her mentor, Dr. Josie Dovidio, who inspired her to pursue a career in dentistry. After graduating from UCLA with an undergraduate degree in Psychobiology, Dr. Yaftaly attended the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health in Mesa, AZ where she received her DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) and certificate in public health with a dental emphasis. She then returned to California to complete a General Practice Residency at USC, during which she treated Veterans in downtown Los Angeles and medically compromised patients at the LAC+USC Medical Center.
Dr. Yaftaly is excited to be back in Simi Valley to serve the community in which she was raised. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, the Santa Barbara-Ventura County Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry. She enjoys keeping up with the latest advancements and technology in dentistry through continuing education courses. She volunteers both locally and globally, and has participated in mission trips to Honduras and the Dominican Republic to provide dental care to underserved populations. Dr. Yaftaly is committed to treating every patient like family and offers enthusiasm while providing quality comprehensive care.
In her free time, Dr. Yaftaly enjoys spending time with family and friends, staying active with workout classes, and snowboarding. She is a basketball enthusiast and diehard Lakers fan. She also loves trying new restaurants and is always on the hunt for new food adventures!

I absolutely loved the cleaning I got from Kim, she did an amazingly thorough job and was very kind and informative. I adore Dr. Yaftaly, and was glad to have an exam with her. And then there's Suzanne, who is always wonderful.

If the Dental experience was anything like the treatment, care and expertise you receive from Dr. Yaftaly and her TEAM when I was a little boy (way back when) I would never have developed an aversion to going to the Dentist. Older & Wiser.....This Group is Superb!!!! Bdub

I love this office!!!! Everyone is so nice, professional, and gentle!!! I'm normally terrified of going to the dentist, but not here. I actually enjoy going. Everything is discussed, solutions are suggested, care is excellent! Plus movies while you're in the chair. I can't recommend this office enough. They're the best!

Wonderful people who made my first time back to the dentist (in WAY too long ) the best experience I've ever had. Truly. Dr. Yaftaly took great care of me and my teeth. On top of being a fantastic dentist, she has a lovely bedside manner as well. Highest recommendation.

I was very pleased with my whole experience from the first phone call with SuZanne to Dr Yaftaly's assistant to my interaction with Dr. Yaftaly herself. Not only was she kind and gentle but very professional and reassuring in my moment of need. I am so happy to have a new dentist that I will love visiting.

It is always a 5 star experience when I come to Dr. Yaftaly's office. I always feel like they care about me. When I first came to them I had a lot of dental issues but over time they addressed them all individually to keep cost within my budget. I won't go to anyone else.

Does anyone like going to the dentist? I Do! I owe it all to these friendly employees at The offices of Yaftaly. This place is spotless and they have my favorite channels to watch on TV.
