This dentist office is legit! I've been going here for a few years and the staff have always been very friendly. They're super clean and transparent about everything they do. Also, the receptionist is incredibly organized and efficient. Parking in the back and a nice waiting area that doesn't fill you with dread.

Update: December 28, 2021 I brought my mom to my Dentist Dr. Pema because she had an emergency for her tooth. She was having pain on her molar. She had bad experiences with other dentists in the past. But Dr. Pema made her feel comfortable and welcomed. He even opened up an appointment for my mom even though he was already booked. I will forever will be grateful for him helping my mom out with her tooth. My mom even thought he has a beautiful face. Everyone here is totally professional, kind, honest and helpful. I've been coming here for over 12 years for a reason. They will never do you wrong! Plus, now they have a new beautiful office with all the high tech gadget. Thank you for your great services and professionalism.

Dr. Pema and his team have done a wonderful job at protecting my teeth and my overall well-being from constant clenching and headaches. I was suffering from horrific headaches from clenching my jaw. Dr. Pema was not only cheaper then my other dentist by a long shot, but also provided me with two custom guards that help protect me from the worst headaches ever and protect my teeth too! Thank you Dr. Pema!

First time going to Toluca Dental Care and it was a great experience! I have lived in LA for 6 years but hadn't established a dentist yet, mostly because I was worried about the quality. Dr. Pema is incredibly knowledgeable and honest. He makes you feel comfortable as well as the friendly staff. Additionally, the office is beautiful, clean and there's parking in the back of the building. I highly recommend coming here!

If Apple or Google decided to start a dentistry brand, Dr. Pena and his team would be at the he. The amount of advanced technology happening in that office is mind blowing, and the results are even more extraordinary. I had a serious phobia of dentists, and had been putting off work that needed to be done for years. Dr Pena was like a fairy Godfather who not only vanished my fears forever, he also took care of me with confidence, professionalism and lots of heart. And he was right, I'd be able to function per usual after my dental work with no aftermath of pain or discomfort. I literally went out to hang with friends for sushi three hours after! I plan to recommend him to everyone I know...all you dental phobia people out there...Dr. Pena is exactly what you are looking for! Thank you again for taking such extraordinary care of me and my dental needs!!

Went in for a routine check up and cleaning. They kept trying to up sell services and offer things I didn't want or need. I had to request multiple times for the routine cleaning that I made the appointment for in the first place. They then went on to tell me that I had two cavities that needed to be fixed and that I needed to schedule a follow up with their periodontist bc I might need to have surgery on my gums. I left and got a second opinion from another dentist that didn't corroborate any of the work they recommended. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It was a two hour sales pitch and a mediocre cleaning.

So happy I found this place! I honestly just picked the closest dentist office to my house with good reviews, but it paid off. The staff was so helpful from the moment I called to make an appointment. They got me in THAT day. I filled out the paperwork online, so I simply walked in to and gave them my name. No clipboards or signing anything! I didn't even wait 2 minutes before being brought back. Everything was explained to me before anyone did anything. And when it was clear I'd need a few fillings, I was given a clear outline of the procedure with the cost (minus my insurance) so I knew EXACTLY what I was getting myself into. When one filling turned into a partial crown, Dr. Pema helped make sure I got a good deal and made me feel comfortable with a pretty serious alteration to my mouth. Dr. Pema himself was very sweet and funny. He seemed very organized and ran an amazing staff. He even taught me a little about dentistry and let me watch part of my procedure in a mirror. He was so educating and helpful. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Pema!

The 1-star reviews on Yelp for "Nilesh Pema, DDS" mirrored my experience. At the former location, Dr. Jeff was my dentist and he was my all-time favorite. My complaints there: was charged $60 for a post-periodontal "deep cleaning" rinse which I felt was unneeded because I had taken amoxicillin. I checked with friends who stated that their dentists did not require such a rinse. Also, it seemed cheap to not replace the annoying chirping smoke detector because the office was relocating in a few weeks. The new office was modern, had fewer parking spaces and instead of separate treatment rooms had cubicles, so you could see other patients being treated. Instead of Dr. Jeff, his replacement was a friend of Dr. Pema and seemed more like a pitchman. My appointment was for a routine cleaning but after a cursory cleaning, he then informed me that I needed a "full restoration" and then arranged a follow-up appointment to discuss procedures. Instead, I selected a different office where I am not subjected to cosmetic dentistry upselling. UPDATE: Dr. Pema called today to tell me that 1 The upselling dentist was replaced with a less aggressive female dentist. 2 The cubicles are more ADA compliant than individual treatment rooms. 3 His office does do general dentistry with available cosmetic dentistry. 4 He will instruct staff to disclose the $60 dental rinse ($15 per quadrant) is optional, instead of just auto-billing it. . . too late to do any good for me, but at least you now know, Dear Readers. UPDATE 2: The next day after posting Update 1, Stephanie from TDC called to confirm that Dr. Pema had indeed instructed his team to disclose that the $60 rinse (described above) was optional, . . . and that Dr. Pema would give me a night guard "on the house" so that I would have a more positive experience from his office. ( During the above phone call, I had inquired about using one to prevent teeth from shifting.) Stephanie assured me that I would owe nothing out of pocket, I would receive an invoice with zero balance, I wouldn't have to sign anything and that I could continue with my current dentist. So I made an appointment to cast a mold. Dr. Pema introduced himself, reiterated that complaints were about his associates and not himself, and that he wished unhappy clients would contact him personally in order to work out a mutually agreeable resolution. Today (02.19.2019) I picked up my night guard, compliments of Dr. Pema. He explained how to best use it and care for it. So now I have something to smile about and will add 3 stars to my original review : )
