I had such a great experience at Elite Dentistry in RSM. The ladies at the front desk are so sweet and welcoming and just make everything feel easy from the moment you walk in. The assistants were gentle and attentive and really made sure I was comfortable the whole time.
Dr. Lari was amazing. So professional, calm, and thorough. I felt completely at ease and genuinely taken care of. You can tell this office really cares!
Highly recommend!

I recently had two crowns and two filings worked on by Dr. Lari and his team! I cant express my gratitude enough for them all! They made the 3 hour procedure painless and easy in every way! Dr. Lari used laser technology on one filing with only numbing gel this was pain free, amazing! Its hard to trust a new dentist and I miss Dr. Fonmin and Erin very much, but this team was amazing in every way and I am grateful!

Dr Lari and his team were wonderful!
I'm a bit of a difficult patient with a long (painful) past of dental issues.
My teeth are sensitive and I'm always anticipating bad news.
The hygienist was patient, careful and accommodating with my cleaning. No pain :)
Dr Lari was personable and thurogh, with no "sales pitch" as he discussed some maintance/repair of some older work that will need to be addressed at some point in the future.
All in all, a very pleasant visit and I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment
I would happily refer friends and family to Elite Dentistry!

I liked how the doctor took time to listen to my complaint about my molar. He was thorough in his examination. The treatment he offered helped alleviate the problem. If you need a dentist who will take time to listen to you and treat you like a fellow being and not just a patient, go to Elite Dentistry in RSM, CA.
