Excellent, last minute emergency and fit me in same day!

Molly’s great!! Honestly she is a little too gentle - and I wouldn’t mind a bit more vigorous scraping of my teeth - just my preference but she’s thorough.

Great place, service, people and work ethic. Have referred several of our friends to them.

I was extreme satisfied with the service Dr Lavana and his staff provided. His dentistry skills were outstanding, he is a gifted dentist. I was very happy with his work!

I’ve been going to Dr Lavan for 15 years. He is excellent and his staff is amazing. I highly recommend his group.

Friendly staff

Very thorough. Great dental care. Office staff very professional and nice.

Dr.Lavana is wonderful! I always avoided the dentist for years due to anxiety which just lead me to terrible teeth and more problems. I was recommended to his office by a family member and so glad I listened! He listens to all my concerns. He is great with my anxiety. He is the first dentist in years that I was able to go into the dentist chair without medication. He has done root canals and fillings for me and made it a breeze! His staff is wonderful as well! highly recommend him and his staff if you are someone especially who fears the dentist! I will not go anywhere else now. They also will see you quickly in an emergency!

Excellent all around. The lady who cleaned my teeth was so kind and gentle.

They were all great

Best dentist ever!!!

After only 6 days from a tooth extraction and bone graft, I came in to have the sutures removed. I was a little apprehensive as I was still in pain in that area. Jessi treated me, she made me feel at ease before and during the procedure. She was gentle and kind and did an excellent job. Dr Nikhil Lavana did the extraction with bone graft with no complications and now, healing well. I have had lots of work done by Dr Lavana, he's an excellent dentist.

Very friendly staff. Clean and professional!

Always on time. Very little waiting to be seen. All employees are knowledgeable & kind. Pleasant atmosphere. Dr. Lavanna has been my dentist for many years & I trust his judgment & dental work 100%.

Dr. Lavana has been our dentist for 15+ years - my son, husband and I have all had nothing but great experiences with him - from tooth extractions to root canals/crown to complete reconstructive work when my son was only 8 years old and broke his brand new permanent front teeth, to Invisalign for son and hubby. He is extremely good at what he does, very knowledgeable and trustworthy - in Dr. Lavana we trust!! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!

Great experience

It was easy experience.

wonderful experience as always!

On time and did a good job.

Helped me with an unexpected issue very quickly. Always a pleasant experience. All options explained clearly. Thank you.

Love Dr Lavana . His work is impeccable. Thrives on making sure you are not in pain while performing any dental work . One thing - he needs to ask the landlord to remove the fake flowers out front !

staff is very helpfull and pleasing

Very good and happy with the work.

Amy is always kind and great. I never liked going to the dentist Amy, and the team at gardner family dental make your experience at the dentist easy and more relaxed . I would definitely recommend gardner family dental to anyone .

Awesome always a great visit

Excellent service

Excellent people

She is wonderful

I had to have a bunch of Novacaine and several teeth pulled and the dentist and his staff did an outstanding job! Thanks you!!

Coreen is truly the best. She does an AMAZING, thorough job with the cleaning. And she’s so pleasant to talk to.

At the risk of alienating the dental community with my characterization, I feel that most dentists, in general dentistry, are fine technicians, who for whatever reason, lack the mastery to be considered real artists. Over the course of my gypsy life I have been blessed to find 2 dentists who were true artists, with a passion for their work and the elevation of their craft to that far above their peers. I am pleased to report I have discovered a third. The first two had offices in southern and northern CA respectively. The third is Dr. Ivanna. I had 2 adjacent crowns that needed to be replaced. He scanned the existing crowns. Redesigned new ones using the scanned images. I watched the redesign process using software and his exceptional skill was amazing. He then milled the new crowns in office and fitted them with very minimal adjustment. The fit was perfect. Completed in 3 hours on a Saturday, during a single visit. No other adjustment required. Thank you Dr. Lavana. You are a true artist.

Pleasant, thorough, knowledgeable, on time and always encouraging dental health.

Corinne was EXCELLENT as the service provider to my two sons, ages 3.5 & 5, who could have otherwise been very nervous. She was calm, friendly, and thorough, and explained everything she was doing in a way that made them feel very comfortable. They might have even had fun! It's wonderful for them to have such positive experiences with their dental appointments at this young age. I really appreciate it!

Great!

Friendly, teeth condition improving!

Molly makes you feel comfortable and thoroughly cleans

Always an excellent experience as far as a dental appt can be. I am very pleased with this dental practice.

Molly knows her job very well. She is gentle & effective. I must say that I like her best out of anyone that has ever cleaned my teeth. I hope that she will stay @ Family Dental. Her way of cleaning teeth is by far the best I have ever had.

Had to have my plate realigned they had me come in the next day and the doctor checked it out and talked to his assistant and she did an excellent job and had me on my way awesome

Sylvia is the best hygienist I have ever been to. She cleans my teeth so well and she always listens to my concerns and addresses them. She is always cheerful and she provides a great experience.

Amy is friendly and professional. I would highly recommend her!
