PATIENT REVIEWS

I’ve been going to Design Dental Spa to do my cavities, whitening and to straighten my teeth. And I always feel very special at this place. All staff are very friendly and nice, especially Iris, Dana and Sandra, they are like my friends now, always give me compliments and make jokes. Dr Tamara explains every step she does, so I feel safe and I know what’s going on with my teeth and she speaks Russian with me, it was important when I came here for the first time. And Dr Ray changed my smile, now my teeth are straight and bright.
Absolutely recommend this place!

This office is clean, friendly, and the best dentist & dental care are here. The dental work is really superb, and patients are treated wonderfully. I highly recommend Design Dental. Oh, Dr. Tamara is very pretty, in addition to being an excellent dentist. I am so pleased with Dr. Tamara & the service she provides, my teeth have never looked better.

I have been going to Dr. Matevosyan for over 5 years and I am very happy with her service. She is very friendly and thorough, takes her time explaining the procedures and makes you feel very comfortable.

Dr. Tamara and her friendly, professional team in the Marina Del Rey office make going to the dentist a real treat.  I’ve been a patient for 2 years now with several visits which included x-rays, fillings, teeth whitening, perio maintenance, partial denture work and implant consultation.  Every visit was executed with the utmost care and comfort with reasonable rates.  Dr. T and the staff are top-notch across the board and I couldn’t be happier.  Real standouts include Donna, Norma and the lovely specialist Marina ***sigh***.  Yes, there’s many dental offices to choose from in the west LA area- if you’re looking for a trustworthy long-term dental headquarters, I highly recommend Design Dental in MDR!

I love this place! I feel valued as a client because they honor my time. Within 5 min. of my check-in time I was greeted and taken into my room. They took their time cleaning my teeth. I did not get whitening done, but my teeth definitely look whiter 🙂 I was also appreciative of the consultation i received. I also love how everyone is very friendly and how clean the facility is.

I recently had a filling replaced and had my teeth whitened, and I can’t say enough about how well I was treated. Dr. Tamara was great and her assistant Donna had me smiling the whole time. If you’re looking for good dentist with happy staff this is the place for you.

Dr. Tamara Matevosyan is an excellent doctor/dentist. She is the first dentist who convinced me of the importance to floss. She had a very good influence on me in terms of taking care of my teeth appropriately. She performed many procedures, including fillings, crown and on lay and provided top care on my teeth. She is very consciencious and knows what she is doing. She is very personable and provides the highest care one could receive. She is going to be my official dentist and from now on, I  won’t be on the search of a personal dentist anymore. I have nothing but good to say about her and highly recommend her for anyone who needs serious work done on their teeth.

The facility is very nice & the staff is truly amazing! Dr. T was very sweet and thoroughly explained the process. I was definitely nervous and scared that it would hurt due to the reviews I’ve read about Zoom whitening. She however reassured me that all would be fine, and was honest in telling me that it’s different for everyone. LUCKY ME, It went great, no pain during, with the exception of the heat from the light. I did take 1200mg of Ibuprofen before I had the procedure, simply because of the reviews I read. My teeth are now a little whiter than the lightest shade on the chart!! So far I’ve had only 2 “zingers” on my bottom teeth, but they only lasted for a few seconds. Hopefully I don’t get too many more! All in all, I definitely recommend Design Dental Spa!!

Dr. Tamara is the best!!! She is very kind , caring and does amazing work!! I highly recommend this place and her staff is very professional and welcoming. Thank you Dr. Tamara!!

Not only was there a huge cavity in my tooth, but there was also one in my heart, until I decided to come here. The front receptionist, Angel, became my Angel, introducing me to the new love of my life, Donna, the best dental assistant in the world. Donna’s gorgeous looks and Filipino wisdom serenaded my soul as Dr Tamara put in my new crown with meticulous skill. Thank you Dr for your fine work, and thank you Angel, for making it all possible with my new muse, Donna. One day I will have the courage to ask her for hot coffee, but until then I will just enjoy my hot new crown and smile…

Dr. Ray and Dr. Tamara are wonderful.  Dr. Tamara does a very thorough and gentle cleaning.  Dr. Ray is thoughtful and considerate.  I appreciate how they focus on the future and not the past.  I would highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Ray (aka Dr. Partovy) and Dr. Tamara are the best! I’ve been switching from one dentist to another for a long time and struggling to find someone reliable and caring to take care of my teeth. But I’m settled now after coming to this place for a while. Design Dental Spa is amazing. Dr. Ray is extremely experienced and kind. Dr. Tamara is super caring and detail oriented. The whole team is friendly and communicative. I noticed that the general sitting/waiting area was upgraded recently with new ivory leather couch and seats,which is much more comfortable than the old ones they had. If they paid attention to such details and cared about patients’ waiting experience it’s hard to imagine they’ll do a horrible job professionally.

Dr. Tamara has won my trust which, considering my past experiences, is saying a lot. Her work is flawless, but more than that, she is kind, sweet, patient, says what she’s going to do, and the prices in this office were lower than others in the area. The office is clean and well-run. The desk staff is knowledgeable and super nice.

I’ve been going to Dr. Tamara Matevosyan at the Design Dental Spa for about 3 years now. Great location with easy parking. The office staff is very professional and accommodating. Dr. Tamara is amazing and makes sure you understand everything that she is doing, why she’s doing it, and any possible areas of concern. I can’t recommend this office enough!

I’ve been coming to Design Dental for nearly 2 years and I feel so fortunate that I found this place! The staff are friendly, efficient, and helpful. Dr. Tamara is wonderful and explains everything so thoroughly. I never have to wait more than 5-10 minutes for my appointment and they are great working with me and my tight budget. I actually love coming to the dentist for my dental care and can’t thank these peeps enough for my smile 🙂

I found out about this dental clinic due to a teeth whitening ad. I came for a teeth whitening and really liked the team, and ended up choosing Design Dental Spa as my primary dentist through my insurance. Both Dr. Partovy and Dr. Tamara are great. Dr. P did my invisalign and in a quick 6 months, I was done with no complications. But… the best thing about this place are the techs! Iris specifically has been so wonderful. She greets me with a smile and by name every time I visit, and is so honest and down to earth, which is something that’s so hard to come by in the dental industry. I always felt like dentists were so pushy in the past, and Iris took that fear away for me completely.

What a great experience! Today was my first time going to this dental office and I will be returning. Dr. Tamara and her staff are so friendly and truely show care when dealing with the patient.  I went in for a deep cleaning and my teeth feel Great! I did not flinch at all because  they make sure you are thoroughly  numb before applying any pressure or tools in your mouth and I appreciate that. Thank you Design Dental Spa!

Dr Tamara is the best me, my mom, my husband, and 8 of my friends go to her and all of us couldn’t say better things about her. She did my composite veneers and they came out perfect, I wish I took a before picture but I’ll post an after!

I am extremely picky when it comes to dentists because I had the same one for 20 years and when he retired, I was lost. I didn’t go to the dentist for 3 years because I couldn’t find the right one. Finally, my friend referred me to Dr Tamara. She is AMAZING! I instantly loved her. She is so friendly, kind, and thorough. She fit me in last minute and did a great job. I am so glad I found her. She is the best! As for the facility, it is also wonderful. The front desk staff is kind and the rooms are clean. There is ample parking in the rear of the building which is a plus. I will be coming to Dr Tamara for many years to come! I highly recommend her and Design Dental Spa.

Friendly staff and clean clinic! Dr. Matevosyan is into details, gentle and with superb expertise in treating my dental issues. She never rushes and takes her time to do a perfect job. I trust her and highly recommend. In my opinion, she is the best Dentist in Los Angeles! If you are looking for a dental clinic, this is the place to go. You will not regret it especially with Dr. Tamara.

I had an ALL POSITIVE experience at Design Dental Spa! I had a filling replaced. Donna was the assistant and was really smart at her craft and pleasant to talk too.  Dr. Tamaraz was really the perfect dentist.  I could have done the entire procedure without numbing. Everything was quick, painless and clean and couldn’t have gone any better.  Way to Go!! 5 stars for sure. This perfect grade includes easy parking, appointment reminders, staff efficiency etc…  Great all-around experience.

I have terrible pain in my wisdom tooth and was worried as I am going on a trip next week and Tamara managed to get me in for a check very fast which is much appreciated. She also made some work on my teeth a few years ago that totally changed my smile. Highly recommended!

Great staff, clean and friendly location. I’ve never been a big fan of dental offices before, having previous bad experiences with pain and disgruntled employees but this office gives me hope in dentist visits again! The front reception staff is always friendly and accommodating. They’re up front about whats covered by insurance and what I’ll pay out of pocket. Donna is my favorite of the nursing staff, always remembering my name and helping me to feel comfortable and welcome. Dr. Tamara does an excellent job of explaining any procedures before it begins and always checking in with me about pain levels and comfort. Great staff, clean location and a friendly atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend!

Had deep cleaning and some filling by Dr. Tamara. She was very patient, honest, highly skilled, extremely gentle and always made sure that I was comfortable during the procedure. This is the first time I actually enjoy going to dentist in my life! Her staff are very sweet and welcoming, can’t wait to go back for my teeth whitening!

Everytime I visit Dr. Tamara it has been a pleasant experience. Every one of her staff are professional, courteous and extremely friendly. Dr. Tamara herself is no different and she is meticulous! This kind of service is a rarity.

I would like to compliment the outstanding work of Dr. Tamara who is extremely professional, caring, and meticulous. She always takes the time to explain what needs to be done and provides valuable advice. Today, I got a beautiful crown done, it fits so perfectly over the tooth that I cannot stop smiling. The whole process was smooth. It’s not easy to find a good dentist at our times, I would highly recommend Dr. Tamara to anyone and everyone!

Having been with another dentist for over 10 years, I was hesitant at first to make the switch. However, after coming to Design Dental Spa and working with the magnificent Dr. Tamara Matevosyan I know that I made the right decision. They can accommodate everything from night guards to teeth whitening and invisalign to fixing chips and cracks in teeth. With a super friendly staff, easily booked appointments, and great doctors it is safe to say i’ve found my new dentist for the next 10 years and beyond! I highly recommend Design Dental Spa.

After years of NO Dental Ins we finally got Coverage. I had some old laminates on my front teeth, 25 yrs, that were chipped and some cavities that need attention. I got a flyer at work that caught my attention for the laminates so I went to Dr. Tamara. Not only did she take care of the cavities but her restoration of my laminates was outstanding!  The whole staff is friendly and professional. I’m currently having some gum work done and my hygienist has a great touch and cares about my comfort and pain level. I highly recommend Design Dental!

I have had the best experience at Design Dental Spa! Everyone I have been in contact with there has been super friendly and inviting. I went in for a consultation for invisalign and walked out with a new dentist. I have now completed my invisalign treatment and have had a few cleanings, and am so pleased with the results. Dr. Tamara and Dr. Ray really are the best! It has taken me years to find a dentist I like and that has my best interests in mind. I’m happy I found them 🙂

Rarely in life do you have an exceptional service experience, especially when it comes to extensive needs in the medical/dental community. I am excited to say that my experience with Design Dental spa was one of those exceptional experiences! I’m writing this, genuinely, from my heart because I am so blown away by my dental journey with this lovely group of people. As you likely know, there are several stages in which you meet various staff members, starting from the initial assessment meeting; then the x-ray technician; the dental assistants; and the receptionists with whom you may have several chats with over time. Design Dental Spa is a busy business, but each staff member was so kind, that they made the process extraordinary, nonetheless. For example, no one likes needles, but Dr. Tamara Metavosyan’s assistant, Donna, sensed how stressed I was, and she offered a hand of comfort. I almost broke her thumb squeezing it, but she said she was used to that! The needle procedure was fairly painless (I’ll cover that later) but needles are stressful, period. Donna was so unbelievably comforting, it melted my heart. That’s unheard of in a dental scenario. If that wasn’t enough, another dental assistant Iris, had to meet with me several times and she would always move around her schedule to make sure I was attended to. Her bubbly personality was always ‘on’, and she also was incredibly comforting as she talked me through every step. Next, the receptionists are calm and kind and super friendly on the phone and in person. That is important if you are a sensitive person. (They have a great appointment reminder system as well.) And finally, I am SUPER EXCITED to tell you that Dr. Tamara Metavosyan is incredible! She is highly technical and perfectly detailed in her work. She had to make several judgement calls, and they were completely on target. She has an eye for aesthetics that is well-tuned from much experience with clients, and I think she is naturally gifted in this area. She also is an amazing communicator, and fully grasped what I was saying. She listened to all my concerns and had great answers and solutions. You might like to know that she takes her time giving needles so that they are as painless as possible. She numbs the area first with a powerful gel, and then gives the first needle, then waits before inserting another needle. This is very effective, and she cares about comfort. This is probably a big reason why the staff has been selected as they have; she wants only the best and most compassionate people around her working with her clients. Amazing! And finally, to top it off, I am thrilled to tell you that the end result of the actual dental work far exceeded my expectations but fulfilled my greatest hopes for a dental outcome! So for me, from beginning to end was literally a dream come true. What can I say…5 stars is not enough. Let’s select ‘galaxy’ and maybe we will be close! Thank you Design Dental Spa. Wow.

I’ve been coming to Design Dental Spa for about a year now and it’s been great experience. They send you text reminders for your appointments which is really convenient and they have a dedicated parking lot in the back which is nice considering most places only have street parking. The usual check up with X-ray and clean up is straight-forward and I have no issues with it. The dental assistants are wonderful and easy to talk to. Dr. Tamara is working on my cavities today and I’m also getting my teeth whitened too.

Design Dental Spa is really a nice, modern, friendly, and clean place, spa for your teeth. Dr. Tamara Matevosyan is the most kind and helpful doctor I have ever met. I feel safe in her hands. The relaxed atmosphere of Design Dental Spa makes you forget all the fright from dentists that you ever had. I highly recommend it.

I cannot say enough nice things about Design Dental Spa, especially Dr. Tamara Matevosyan. I have a very tight schedule, and they have been incredibly accommodating. On top of that, the procedures were done with minimal time and pain. I had neglected my oral health for almost a decade, but will do so no longer thanks to Design Dental Spa.

Dr. Tamara is an EXCEPTIONAL dentist! She truly is a special person who sincerely cares about YOU (see for yourself). You rarely experience an individual who is as undeniably authentic as herself. Not to mention, her prices are very reasonable and conscientious. The dental facility is also immaculate, spacious, and has lots of free parking.I’ve only interacted with a few of the staff members: Donna (Tamara’s Robin), is very pleasant to be around and has GREAT energy. She immediately makes you feel right at home with the warmest of welcomes. Angel (Tamara’s Alfred), makes you feel special and is very welcoming with her big beautiful smile and heavenly charm. Angel is surely one of the sweetest persons I’ve met and is also stunningly gorgeous!If you’re considering this place and happen to come across my review, pleeeeeeeeease, do yourself, your pocket, and your teeth a huge favor by visiting Dr. Tamara! It’s one of the best experiences with a dentist, and I certainly see myself as a long-term client.

Awesome staff from the moment you walk into the office. Real (and very cool) people. When it came to my teeth cleaning, Dr. Tamara and Donna were as thorough (and kind to my mouth!) as any dentist team…ever. If you’re stressed about going to the dentist, request Dr. Tamara…and you will be in great hands. Five STARS…big time.
