Smells great. He's had these cookies that he bakes every morning, and it feels almost like you're at home. A smile is very important to everybody because that's what our first impression is. A smile says you have a happy disposition. If they can smile, it makes them feel a whole lot better inside. The vibe is amazing. The moment you walk in, just be friendly and ask. Very welcoming and cheerful at all times. Chairs are comfortable. They always have a TV for you to watch Netflix or whatever you want over there, so you sometimes forget that you're even having your teeth cleaned. With every patient, it's different. Scans, x-rays, and photographs give us a way to educate the patient on the condition of their teeth. Then we're able to present more than one treatment plan. And of course, the patient is in the driver's seat, so whatever the patient wishes to do. Dr. Latner is very caring. He's very professional. He's very good at what he does. They have state-of-the-art technology. They'll show me how my teeth line up on a computer, and you know what procedure is being done. I've taken a number of CE courses over all these years and become competent in many disciplines of dentistry. So people don't have to go anywhere but to this office. We encourage people to bring their young babies to see us, but we offer services all the way to people that are over 100 years old. He's funny. He's awesome. He's amazing. He's just like the best. I fully trust him after knowing him for so long. I would drive any amount of time just to come here. Westside Dental Associates opened up here in West L.A. in 1985, and we're still having fun.

So the staff is absolutely, there's been a lot of people during the years, but they all always have been very nice. It's like the family when you come in. And sometimes when you call up here, you always get a call back. It's been fabulous. It really has been the greatest experience, at least for me personally. Great dentist and a great man. But usually as soon as you open the door, there's always a friendly, they know your name, and they usually get you in. Eric is a wonderful dental assistant.

So it's really nice. We work hard to ensure our customers are happy and satisfied with the work we do for them. And we will work hard for you. So why wait?
