I have been coming to Burbank Periodontist for years. I have never had a bad experience. If anyone is afraid of a dentist please try Dr. Waki. He has the best team working for him. Having teeth cleaned is not always a good experience but Anna is very good at acknowledging discomfort and I'm always relaxed If you have had bad experience try Dr. Waki's team

Anna is an all-timer dental hygienist. Getting a teeth cleaning is not really what one could call "a pleasant experience," but this is really as close as it gets. And a very thorough cleaning. :-)

Dr. Waki is knowledgeable and extremely gentle - the tooth came out and the implant went in about an hour with no pain.

Staff very courteous, efficient and warm. Dr. Waki listened carefully and communicated well about my options. On a 2nd visit to tighten a loose implant that was hurting me, Dr. Waki did about 10 minutes of work and charged me $675, which is outrageous.
