Practice Profile Page

Dr. Velena is by far the most amazing Dentist I’ve ever been to.   Gentle and very caring and always has the patients best interest at heart.  Her staff is just as amazing.  Thank you all.

Wow! I have been terrified of going to the dentist for years. A friend recommended Dr. Pecaoco to me and I finally went. After a few months the results were amazing! Thank you for your awesome work doc. I have referred everyone to you.

I avoided dentists like the plague until I met Dr. Pecaoco of GMP Dental. She has a soft, yet efficient and professional touch that made me comfortable, confident in knowing that I was in good hands. Even my husband – who is most stubborn to go to any doctor, dentist, etc– he now has Dr. Pecaoco taking care of his teeth! Dr. Pecaoco is good, caring, accommodating. And, very important for me- she does not try to upsell you on procedures or products that are not relevant or necessary to your dental issues/needs. J. Moulton, Los Angeles

Dr. Gertrudes Pecaoco has to be the gentlest Dentist that I’ve ever visited in my 45 years. I had a deep cleaning and it was quick and painless. Then I had to go in and take care of what looked like a “Root Canal,” in the x-rays. I was totally dreading it, but when I got there she found out that it was just a big cavity and I didn’t need a “Root Canal.” I can not say enough good things about this dentist. If you’re a scaredy cat like me and hate the dentist, then this Dentist is for you.

I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now. I’ve gotten fills, to crowns and it’s always a great experience. They have also accommodated me in my last minute appointment. Receptionist Lulu is always very helpful.

I had a great experience with GMV Dental. My teeth feel so clean! I went in for a cleaning and Xrays. They have a great staff! Super friendly. The Dentist was very informative and answered all my questions. Taught me the proper way to brush my teeth! What more can you ask for!? Thank you. I will be back!

Let me just start with saying that Dr Gertrude’s has taken away my dental FEAR! Thanks to her I actually look forward in walking in my dental visits … it’s actually exciting lol .. TEETH ARE EVERYTHING PEOPLE !!!  I’m so grateful for her kindness she’s awesome !! Not only are they welcoming but also very humble and understanding … i luv my dentist .. may god continue to bless her office and her amazing work

First i want to Say a big Thanks to Dr. Gertrude for making Our Smile so beautiful . Dr. Gertrude Truly care with her patients she gave all of us a good dental experience. Her Team was very friendly ,professional and knowledgeable specially kristina(pia ). Thank you for your great service.

I don’t like going to the dentist, but when I do – I go to GMP Dental 🙂 Seriously, these guys have bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule and the service and skill level is top notch! Even my daughter likes going here! I don’t normally leave reviews on yelp but I felt compelled to leave one for them because of this. Thanks Doc!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Velena for 6 years and counting. For me and for some people that i know whom i referred to her office, she is the best dentist in town or maybe the best in “Cali” in any procedures concerning your teeth, gums or to make it short, when it comes to your MOUTH. Not like any dentists that are heavy handed. She is so professional and very caring. And instantly knows whats wrong with you once you sat in the dentist chair. Her office looks so professional and has a nice ambiance. I’ve been going there a lot of times and saw patients myself get satisfied with her professionalism and the way she cares about her patients. So for me hearing negative stuffs about her and her office, makes me think that something is wrong with those patients “Brain”. Waiting time??? Thats why you need to call and set up an appointment, for you not to wait. And a piece of advise to those who keep “MUMBLING” about her, GO TO YOUR DENTIST MORE OFTEN AND BRUSH YOUR TEETH 3-4 TIMES A DAY. Entiendes? So peeps and friends, Go try her and experience yourself the best dentist in town @ work!

Adding my voice to the chorus– this is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I’m not only correcting issues with my bite and crowding, but Dr. Gertrudes has helped me help myself by investing in the long-term health of my mouth. I really think my overall health will benefit over the years, as I put practices in place at the highest standards to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Honestly I’ve always cared about keeping my mouth happy, but I didn’t even know half of the stuff I was doing wrong and omitting in my oral care. This is truly next level stuff. Now, I have a nice, brand new teeth and brighter smile. Thank You so much Dr. Gertrudes!!!! Also, Dr. Gertrudes, has excellent payment plans and best black coffee! Highly recommend her services!

Called in at the very last minute and luckily they still accommodated me at the same day! Best part is I asked for a quote and they already gave me a discount. They charge at the very reasonable amount. Excellent customer service, nice and friendly staff. Doctor’s hand is very gentle, treatment was very quick and painless. Definitely coming back as a routine patient.
