Dr. Sanaz Yousefi
As a general and cosmetic dentist, I provide care to all ages. My favorite part about practicing dentistry is having the opportunity to provide a caring and comfortable experience for all of my patients. I value the relationships I build with my patients over time, and I consider it a privilege to be their dentist. I try my best to listen to their concerns, be thorough in their exam, and together come up with a plan that best works for them. I treat my patients the way I would want to be treated. I believe smiling to be contagious. When my patients leave my operatory with a beautiful, healthy smile that reflects their pleasant, painless, and informative visit, I know Ive contributed to making the world a happier place.

I had the best experience at Gardena Dental Group. Everyone in the office is very nice and professional. I didnt feel judged or criticized at any point like Ive been at other dental offices. Also, Vanessa the office manager was very helpful in finding the best options to finance my treatment. I highly recommend this business for your dental care.

Ive been putting off my major dental work for about a year now because I didnt want to pay for it. Rachel (the dental assistant) is so kind. She reassured me and that put me at ease about the work I needed to get done. She literally walked me through everything. And then she told me about the CT that I would need for my surgical visit. She mentioned that I could possibly use the copy that they did and take that to the surgeon and it would be cheaper. Im telling you, she is just amazing. Rachel is my superstar to me!!!
Vanessa (the financial lady) was also very helpful and showed me in clear terms how much the cost of everything would be. She even broke it down by the work being done at each visit!
I really liked my dentist too Dr Amend

Been a patient here for over a year and have had nothing but great experiences. Dr. Nathan fixed my front tooth that I hated how it looked and I am extremely happy with it now. Jennifer did my cleaning and she is the best! Other dental offices have been rough with cleanings and shes just amazing and i trust her with my smile. I recommend this place to friends and family 10/10.

Ive been seeing Nathan for my dental cleanings for a while now, and I honestly cant imagine going to anyone else! Hes incredibly kind, makes you feel completely comfortable from start to finish, and always takes his time to do a thorough job. You can really tell he cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. Every visit with Nathan is a positive experience, and Ill definitely continue seeing him for all my cleanings. Highly recommend!

Dr. Nate and Dr. Barr very informative and willing to listen and explain in detail my treat plans and work together for my best smile. I'm super grateful to be a patient here and looking forward to my journey!
