PATIENT REVIEWS

Finally decided to get some much needed dental work done and couldn’t have picked a better place. Had a cleaning on Monday and came back for a root canal today. All the staff that worked with me were amazing even the ladies at the front desk are awesome. Dr. T and his assistant made my root canal as comfortable as possible and Dr. Mallak and her assistant were excellent fitting me for my crown and placing it all in the same day. Dr. Mallak even took the time to take photographs of the work she was doing and display them on the screen in the room so I could get a better idea of what was happening. Try them, you won’t regret it.

They were super thorough and not only informed me about teeth facts more than anyone else, but they also spent more time cleaning my teeth than any other dentist which had a clear effect when I looked in the mirror. My teeth looked better than they ever have after an appointment!  They were also very friendly and welcoming, and I will happily go back and refer any friends in the area or even a bit further out of the area since they are that worth it! Also, parking is easy and they have a lot in the back.

I dropped off masks to my favorite dentist team at My Family Dentist. If you’re looking for a local dentist, this is the spot! I can’t say enough good things about this team of professionals. They utilize new technology, are very communicative and frankly, they renewed my spirit in dealing with dentists. Thank you Dr. Kamelia Mallak and team for treating me like family! And a special thank you to my fiancé Meredith Ackerman for making the masks. — at My Family Dentist of Long Beach.

Do not be afraid! If you don’t have a dentist go to the best! DR MALLAK is THE MOST KINDEST, PROFESSIONAL human being ever! Her work is perfect and I’VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. Her staff IS THE KINDEST MOST PROFESSIONAL HUMAN BEINGS EVER. I went in yesterday with an emergency, she took care of it and CALLED ME TODAY TO SEE HOW I WAS! Really? She always takes time to talk with you, make you feel comfortable and the music really is awesome. If I’m nervous during a procedure I hum along with the music. I’m 62 and have never ever had such a calming, soothing experience with a dentist. She is the VERY BEST!

Well, I can speak for just about everyone who was and still is a valued patient of Dr. Tavernakis and Dr. Malak. Dr. T had a lot of love and compassion for all of his patients and Dr. Malak has continued his practice with the same values and principles….just putting the patient first!!! I cant believe it’s been 10 years since Dr. M has taken over and to see how far she, her staff and the office has grown, from the lovely and helpful lady at the front desk, the latest technology, and also having specialist on site for any and all needs. But it all comes back to patient care….and that’s where they excel and exceed above any other dentist office!!! Great staff too!!

This place is amazing!!! I was very impressed and I will definitely continue to go back. I found this place by doing a random Google search for great dentists in Long Beach and they had good reviews on Yelp. I’m so glad I gave it a shot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have top notch technology for x-rays, the hygienist was so friendly and made my deep cleaning seem like a piece of cake. Dr. Mallak was so warm and friendly and discussed all my options for future dental care. I am already recommending this place to friends and family, they are great!

I have been going to Dr Mallak ‘s office for almost over a year now,  I can describe the service as “Pain free, quick and good price too” . not to mention she has also free parking and office is located in an easy access from the street Dr Mallak ‘s office is very clean, she so strict on clean equipment,  not like other dentist i have been to before.  the office itself is so clean and the staff are very nice and welcoming. The front desk lady is  professional and she knows the patients and their needs right away.  Regardless of how busy the office is, The minute she saw me come in, she said Hi and pulled out my file which was ready for the appointment and  right away started to prepare me for the appointments Dr Mallak is such a nice person, I went  in for a deep cleaning. no one was  so detailed and  so patient to do the job. she is so honest to treat my dental needs whether it is something urgent or some regular checks as the deep cleaning. the injection i had was fine, didn’t feel a thing. I even had to ask her few times if she already gave me anesthesia. I’m so pleased also with the assistant , she is so sweet and once the doctor finishes. she stays with me till I’m ready to get up. she kept wiping my mouth and giving me water   and repeatedly tells me to take my time. Well regardless if what others might say. you have got to go to go to Dr Mallak if you have sudden pain or make an appointment for check up. You will never get a better service from anyone else. I have been to many dentist over the years and no one ever treat me as honestly as they do in this office.   Finally I want to say that  Dr Mallak is so generous and she will cater to the need of the patients to the extreme in all ways.

I adore this place! I went in for the first time today and was super flustered with insurance stuff, and the front team was patient and understanding with me and so kind. The dental hygienist I saw, Alana, was AMAZING. She was quick and friendly and didn’t make me feel bad about my collection of cavities. I couldn’t ask for a better dental experience. You all rock!

I have been going to My Family Dentistry for about 9 years. Dr. Mallak has been my dentist and she has done so much to make my smile what it is today. She has given crowns, implants, and filled cavities. My dental hygenist, Danielle, is very thorough in her cleaning and also friendly. The office staff is very friendly and is always ready to greet you. I would recommend this dental group to anyone!

I went to My Family Dentist based on a friends recommendation. I was happy I went! Upon arrival, they checked me in and handed me an IPad to fill out all of my info, which I thought was so cool( compared to a paper file). My hygienist was very knowledgeable and walked me through every step of my appointment. She even reviewed my X-rays with me and educated me about healthy gums, which I didn’t know too much about. When the Dentist came in, she did a quick exam to make sure my teeth were good and made sure I didn’t have any concerns. I had a great experience coming in and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dentist and helpful staff!

(…) Dr. Kamelia Mallak is just as amazing. I went to see her with a bit of trepidation because its like , OK so you’re gonna be just as amazing as Tavernakis, yeah right….WELL…She is! She’s super nice and takes her time. I had to get a crown because I cracked my tooth on lord only knows what. I was trying to be cheap and get it filled, and she said she’d do it but if it falls out and fractures the tooth I’m looking at a bigger bill. So, I get the crown. The temporary crown was done on the spot and the permanent crown came in about two weeks..no problems since. Crown’s good, I’m good…so yeah, she’s my new dentist.

I’ve had a fear of dentist since I was a child due to horrible experiences. After visiting this dentistry I definitely feel more comfortable with dentists. I came a year ago because one of my fillings came out and I was in immense pain. All the dentists and staff were very understanding of my fear of dentists and gave me many options to treat my pain. I ended up getting a root canal which was PAINLESS… I did not feel any pain at ALL. I decided to come back for my 2 wisdom teeth extraction and again the procedure went quickly and flawlessly. I had no pain during the procedure and almost no swelling after. They were very thorough with the after care and the dentist called and checked up on how I felt after the procedure. Even though I’ve moved from the area, I come here regularly now for my dental checkups and teeth cleaning. The dentists, hygienists, and staff actually care and make me feel like a part of the family.

My absolute favorite dental office. I’ve been to many, many dental offices over the years and I’ve finally found one I’m sticking with. Every hygienist I’ve had here has been friendly and professional. They are never pushy or try to sell you things and I love that. Appointments are always quick and they’re always on schedule. I finally look forward to going to the dentist! Highly recommend My Family Dentistry.

Hands down the best dentist’s clinic! In more than 20 years of adulthood (I’m in my 40’s) Dr. Mallak’s office is by far the best. After she introduced herself,  she kindly asked what issues I had..I told her I haven’t seen the dentist in about a year and my teeth were turning yellow (the real reason I was here) and I won’t stop drinking coffee.  Then she told me the concerns she had with my teeth, but not only did she tell me, but showed me with a camera. With Dr. Mallak, Danielle (an aaamazing dental hygienist), and staff,  I really didn’t have to ask a lot of questions,  because they had explained everything so thoroughly. I’ve found my happy place for dental health.  This place is wonderful!

Dr. Mallak is such a great, caring dentist, and her staff is amazing! I’ve been a patient for years, and I can tell you the quality of care is unbeatable. And every time I visit, I’m treated like family.  I actually look forward to my dental appointments! Thank you so much for taking such good care of me, Dr. Mallak, Danielle, Neveen, Vivian, Susie, and the rest of the My Family Dentist staff. You’re stuck with me – I’m your patient for life!

I have been coming here for the past few years and I have to say that this is the finest dentist office that one can visit. The friendliest staff that I have ever had the pleasure of working with at any office as they really care about their patients well being. The work that I have had done, from cleanings to crowns, is nothing but the best. I drive down from Los Angeles to keep coming to this office and will continue to come to this office as long as I am living in the area. By far the best place you can go! Don’t settle for anything less!

I would put off the dentist as long as I could and when I finally made an appointment I would make myself sick until I walked out, sometimes for weeks! I was terrified and had horrible experiences until I found Dr. Mallak and everyone in her office. I actually enjoy coming to my dentist and everyone is so friendly and caring. They don’t make you wait and they take the time they need to help. Thank you!

This was my first time at this place and I must say it was AMAZING!!!! From start to finish the staff took such great care of me. Staff to mention: Neveeen at the front desk worked so hard to get an appointment for me that worked around my schedule and that was convenient for me. She even remembered me after we spoke on the phone just by my voice! She’s incredible! Very very caring and kind to me. Thank you Neveen!! Susette the dental assistant was so sweet and kind to me. She explained everything she was doing and made sure I was comfortable the whole way through!! She’s also very quick and efficient and does such a great job! Susy was also great, she was so kind and down to earth and made sure I understood my copay and payment break down. So friendly and easy to talk to! And not to mention great sense of humor 🙂 Dr. Ho and Danielle the hygienist were both so amazing!! They were kind and funny and very down to earth which made me comfortable. They were easy to talk to especially about my dental needs and oral concerns. Danielle went over everything in such detail! She is very knowledgeable and thorough, you can tell she loves what she does. This place is definitely my new dental home 🙂 thank you everyone!!!!

I am not the bravest person person when it comes to going to the dentist. But, after some rather unpleasant experiences elsewhere, I have found a great dental office in Long Beach. The staff is so understanding and helpful, and my Dentist, Kamelia Mallak, very skillful, considerate, and caring! She was able to save my tooth after another dentist only wanted to pull it out by cutting through my jaw. I am very happy I went to Dr. Mallak for a second opinion! 5 stars to everyone there!

Amazing dental office! My family dentist fit me in to their schedule when no other dental office could at this time. Dr. Mallak and her dental hygienists are very intelligible in their field and make you feel comfortable. Also the receptionist helps accommodate you’re schedule. You will definitely not be nervous coming to this dentist. Will definitely be making this my home dental office. In my opinion, This office has a rating 10/10 and would recommend going to My Family Dentist.

This is the first yelp review I’ve ever written. After leaving the dental office I felt like I had to share how great my experience was in this review. Dr. Mallak is amazing, very professional, friendly, and most importantly, very honest. Her and the staff were all patient and great. I came with my two teenage daughters, and had a wonderful reception by Niveen. I felt like my daughters and I were in good hands, and believe me when I say that because I have had terrible experiences with materialistic dentists in the past. Also, the hygienists were both amazing. Overall, amazing experience that I would recommend.

Inherently, visiting the dentist strikes fear into the hearts of patients, young and old alike.  However, My Family Dentist, with its personable staff, creates an ambience unlike any dental experience you have known. Even as one enters, a beautifully furnished interior, a plethora of magazines, health snacks for waiting patients, a kids’ room catering to variety of wide-eyed children, comfortable seating and LCD TVs do not embody the idea of dentistry, but a welcoming practice that makes the public feel at ease and comfortable. I have been a patient at My Family Dentist for several years, and I will continue to go there and recommend them to everyone I know because not only is the level of professionalism astounding, but the care and treatment they give is second to none.

My experience at My Family Dentist Long Beach has been amazing. I always hated going to the dentist because I always had a traumatic painful experience with only cleanings. But Alana, my hygienist has made coming and getting cleanings something I actually look forward to. She’s very gentle and best of all, no pain! Thanks My Family Dentist. I highly recommend!

I have been coming here for the past few years and I have to say that this is the finest dentist office that one can visit. The friendliest staff that I have ever had the pleasure of working with at any office as they really care about their patients well being. The work that I have had done, from cleanings to crowns, is nothing but the best. I drive down from Los Angeles to keep coming to this office and will continue to come to this office as long as I am living in the area. By far the best place you can go! Don’t settle for anything less!

We felt compelled to write our first review since we had such an amazing experience here. My husband and I have been searching for a good dentist since last year.  We left our last dentist office dissapointed about the lack of cleaning that was done.  We were both skeptical about the yelp reviews for this office, however we decided to test it out for ourselves.   Now we can say for ourselves that the hype is real & Dr. Mallak and the office team are truly amazing.  We wanted our teeths cleaned prior to our wedding and they were able to fit my husband (fiance then) for a last minute appointment.  It is so great to meet caring, genuine, and honest people.  Our teeth was cleaned meticulously and with great attention to detail.  Thank you to the team at James Tavernakis Office.  We can’t wait to come back for our next appointment and will be referring all of our friends!

I always hated going to the dentist but not this place. Starting from the X-rays, my hygienist, Dani, walked me through the whole process. Everything is digitally advanced, so it’s a lot less painless, and you can see your own xrays as they’re doing their work! I came in for a deep cleaning. Now, the dentist I went to prior said it was going to cost me around $500 for the same treatment. I knew I was being scammed, which is why I switched dentists. This place said my insurance covered 90% of the treatment. Freakin 90%! Both the hygienist and doctor came to talk to me about the procedure and took the time to explain the issues with my teeth. During the treatment, Dani, made sure I was okay and even explained some of the tools she was using. My experience here was beyond what I was expecting from a dentist. I wish they were open on the weekend but I’ll take PTO just to come back here because a good dentist is HARD to find.

Danielle and everyone at My Family Dentist are absolutely phenomenal. I came in very scared as I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while. It was a judgment free zone and they were kind and understanding. They discussed treatment recommendations and were transparent about what everything costs. One of my favorite things about the office is their use of technology. New member info is filled out on an iPad and you have the ability to send yourself all the documents you signed for your own records. They also send text reminders for your appointments. I am so glad this office was recommended to me as they are a great to visit.

I’m so happy I called family dentist and doctor Mallak. After having some horrible experiences with other dentists (feel free to read my other reviews) I was turned off by going to the dentist. Doctor Mallak is thorough, patient, and well verse in her profession. She explains what need to be done and give options. The staff is friendly and always greats me by my name, well my last name. I couldn’t speak more highly of My Family Dentist and would recommend them across the board for all dental needs.

Omg! I finally found a dentist home!!! After years of not going to the dentist because I simply hated the past experiences I have had. I came across MY Family Dentist. They are the best ever. So kind, gentle and professional. They gave me so much knowledge on how to properly take care of my teeth. My teeth have never felt so clean. And I left without pain. Thank you again My Family Dentist. I will be transferring my youngest kids ASAP.

This dental office is the best I’ve ever been to. I don’t know where to begin!!! Between the staff, the equipment and the rates- this spot is top knotch!! Lets start off with the staff: The staff in incredible!!!! They are so friendly and always have a smile on their face. Dr. Mallak is the most professional dentist that I have come in contact with… The level of professionalism is only matched by her amazing personality and skill. She always makes time to sit with her patients and speak to them. She gives options and makes you feel at ease. Not only do they have general dentists at the office, but they also have specialists. In addition, they have weekend hours and someone will always return your call after hours if there is an emergency. They have reasonable prices and top-of-the-line equipment. We needed to come in for an emergency extraction and the staff was able to accommodate us with an appointment that same day, within a few hours!!!! I have referred several of my friends and colleagues to this office and will continue to do so. I LOVE this office!!!!!!

I originally found this dentist office on Yelp, at first I was a little skeptical because the reviews seemed too good to be true. So I decided to find out for myself and wow is all I have to say! Dr. Mallak and her staff are very HONEST typically dentist from my past experience I felt like wanted to rip me off and had no genuine real care for me or their other patients.. but not here it’s the total opposite! My teeth cleaning with Alana was a breeze  (she does not play with her teeth cleaning she gets it in) she was also so friendly and knowledgeable. I also had a chipped tooth fixed here before. My tooth looks brand new and better than before. I don’t recall the dentist who fixed it but I believe she was from another office covering for Dr. Mallak but I promise you .. You can trust that all of Dr. Mallak people are great! I have also had my root canal done here … ask for Dr. T he is fast and efficient and very gentle. This was my first root canal so I was freaking out big time. I’m glad to say it was just like getting a cavity filled there was no difference. I am so thankful I found my new dentist home and I will forever suggest and recommend MY FAMILY DENTIST!

I am unfortunately someone who has had great trouble with my teeth my whole life (I’m trying my best!), so going to the dentist is a pretty regular part of my life, between preventative and restorative work. I’ve been going to My Family Dentist since Dr. Tavernakis was practicing there–he was very kind to me when I was terrified of a necessary extraction (a thing I needed before I sought care at this office). I was disappointed when I found out that he had left the practice, but that feeling was short-lived as I became acquainted with delightful, friendly Dr. Mallak and her staff. My Family Dentist has worked hard to help me with difficult claims and has done their best to accommodate my various life situations to the best of their ability. I am anxiety-prone and very sensitive about my teeth, so when I can’t help but cry because my mouth is garbage, staff members have always been patient and understanding–it really goes a long way to making me feel comfortable in a place that holds ties to the stuff that gives me nightmares. So now, a tooth removed, many fillings, cleanings and a couple root canals later, I’m happy to say that thanks to the practice I’ve still got most of my teeth. The front desk, the assistants, and of course, Dr. Mallak, are all wonderful. On my most recent trip for my root canal, I met Dr. Tehrany, who was supremely gentle and–again–very patient despite my obvious terror and all the tears that accompanied it. They’ve made me into a real oh-you’re-looking-for-a-dentist?-I’ve-got-the-dentist-for-you person; and so, my unreserved recommendation of My Family Dentist to be your family dentist.

I’ve had a fear of dentist since I was a child due to horrible experiences. After visiting this dentistry I definitely feel more comfortable with dentists. I came a year ago because one of my fillings came out and I was in immense pain. All the dentists and staff were very understanding of my fear of dentists and gave me many options to treat my pain. I ended up getting a root canal which was PAINLESS… I did not feel any pain at ALL. I decided to come back for my 2 wisdom teeth extraction and again the procedure went quickly and flawlessly. I had no pain during the procedure and almost no swelling after. They were very thorough with the after care and the dentist called and checked up on how I felt after the procedure. Even though I’ve moved from the area, I come here regularly now for my dental checkups and teeth cleaning. The dentists, hygienists, and staff actually care and make me feel like a part of the family.

My experience at this office was flawless. Dr. Mallak and staff are the best. I tried out many dentist in the greater Los Angeles area before finally settling with Dr. Mallak. I’m usually in /out of the clinic within the hour, and have never waited more than 10 minutes to bee seen by her. She really takes the time to make sure you are comfortable and get the best service possible. If you’re looking for a great dentist with the friendliest staff, go to see Dr. Mallak in Long Beach.

Was referred by a co-worker and glad I decided to come here. Everyone in the office is really friendly and welcoming. Dr Mallak is really nice and thorough. I forget the oral surgeon’s name but he was great too! Alana one the hygienists is awesome! Chatted throughout my cleaning and learned more than I ever have about teeth but she was never judgmental, just very informative. I was also asking her about getting whitening trays and she looked up my insurance while in the examining room and discovered they would cover them! I had a deep cleaning done and when I’ve had them in the past my teeth/gums have been sore afterwards, but my mouth felt fine for the rest of the day – no pain at all!
