Dr. G is literally the best!! I've been seeing Dr. Giovanisci since I was in high school. He's helped me with everything from regular dentistry, to orthodontic, and cosmetic work. Five stars isn't enough for him. The office is always a good time. Great staff, fun environment, and super clean!! I'm now a woman in my mid thirties who's moved around to many places, and met many different dentists. But no one has been as knowledgable, talent, or reasonable as Dr. G. I've learned my lesson going anywhere else for dentistry. No matter where I move to (now living in North Carolina) I will ALWAYS make the commute back to Montrose, CA to have him handle anything dental for me. Especially cosmetic! And ultimately, to have him fix the problem other dentists created for me. He's worth the plane ticket, and paying out of pocket for to assure that the work is done with seamlessly and with an excellence that I've only found with him. Thank you Dr. Giovanisci for being such an amazing person and dentist!! Glad to have front teeth because of you lol

Dr. Giovanisci and his staff are FABULOUS. They make you feel like old friends and make visiting the dentist actually enjoyable. Dr. G. gave me the smile I've always wanted and never thought I could have. Other dentists said what I wanted wasn't possible for me, but Dr. G. made it happen! Now I have a beautiful smile and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Dr. G.!

Had a great visit today! Dr. Giovanisci is always very professional and a great diagnostician. He always explains his treatment plan in ways that you can understand. I also appreciate that he offers alternative treatments, based on the budget, when possible. The new and modern decor/equipment gives you a feeling of confidence with regard to hygiene and the fact that the doctor is investing in the best possible treatment methods for his patients. The support staff also demonstrate the highest level of professionalism and friendliness to put you at ease. Thank you for 13 years of great care.

Dr. G is the best! The V.P. of my company recommended him to me. When I went there, about 7 years ago or so, my teeth were a disaster. Years of not going to a dentist. Plaque so thick he almost had to use a jack hammer to get it off. I wasn't that far off from having really major problems, maybe even many teeth pulled. My mouth was in as bad a shape as you can imagine. Over the course of several years, he worked really hard on my teeth, and I'm not an easy patient. In fact, I call myself the patient from hell. Every touch by the tools to my teeth hurt; he had to use twice, sometimes three times as much novocaine to numb my gums. The end result; my teeth are now in spectacular shape. I go in every 3 months for a simple cleaning and that's it! Dr. G. really is a spectacular dentist. If anyone is looking for a top notch dentist in the Los Angeles/Glendale/Montrose California area, give him a call. I promise, you will never regret it. Kirk :)

I am very careful when it comes to choosing a dentist for me and my family and Dr Giovanisci is simply, to this day, the best dentist that I have found in a 25 miles radius (I wish I had found him sooner...). He is not only very good at what he does, his pricing is also very reasonable and he went beyond what other dentists would have done (including holistic ones) in terms of accommodating personal requests (regarding materials and procedures).
