Practice Profile Page

Doctor Ana does excellent work and has the rare ability to make you look forward to a visit! Yes, it is true..no anxiety and she always goes the extra mile to make sure she explores all the possible avenues for your dental needs. I know this personally as I have had major complications not related to traditional dental care. In addition Kathy, who is office manager, is a delight to work with! I should not forget to also mention Lisa who really takes teeth cleaning and maintenance very seriously but in a most friendly and informative way.

This is the best Dental Office I have experienced in the Southbay.  Right when you walk in the door you feel welcomed.  The staff there is wonderful and make you feel at home.  The cleaning is so delicate you don’t even feel like you are having your teeth scraped.  They are informative and on top of any questions you may have.  I have tried a few other dentists over the years and this office with their delightful “bedside manner” will be my go to place for teeth for years to come! Thanks so much- Michelle Wattles

I’ve been entrusting my gnashers to Dr. Ana for five years and am happy to recommend her as an excellent dentist and a delightful person. Not only is she extremely gentle and competent in her procedures, but the whole practice is beautifully run from reception to dentist’s chair. Highly recommended

This is my second year of going to Dr. Ana’s office. Last year I was there five times due to the extensive work I needed to get back to where I’m not afraid to smile. I originally picked her office due to the proximity to my work but soon learned that this coincidence was the best thing that could have happened. Dr. Ana and her staff, Lisa and Kathy, are beyond proficient in dental care.  Kathy, Ana’s assistant and just about the sweetest woman, works with you to find the best day and time for office visits and helps with any health insurance questions.  Lisa, ninja dental hygienist, takes on every teeth cleaning as a personal project where the absolute must be achieved and does so with the gentlest touch.  And last but definitely not least Dr. Ana is the best dentist I have ever been to. As I mentioned I had extensive work done which could feel overwhelming but not in her office. She answered all questions and guided me through the entire process. And of course, did an amazing job in restoring my smile. Her skills reach beyond dentistry; she’s a perfectionist when it comes to her work and just an amazing human being. Best combination.

My family has been seeing Dr Ana for a few years. What a wonderful change from the dental clinics that we had been forced to use in the past. Going to Dr. Ana’s is like stepping back in time. Kathy greets you personally when you arrive in the very comfortable lobby. Dr. Ana is always on time and cleans my teeth herself! It’s so refreshing, after years of dentists who just peek at your teeth after the hygienist is finished,to have a dentist who really gives her personal service and time. There’s usually an appointment within a few weeks however Kathy works with our crazy schedule and even calls us if there is an earlier cancellation that pops up!

Love this place! Dr Ana is so fun, sweet and (most importantly) a great dentist! I started here recently based on a recommendation from another friend and so glad I did! I have had a regular teeth cleaning and I also needed a filling fixed and she has done both wonderfully. What’s also great about this place is Kathy at the front desk- so sweet and helpful! I couldn’t be happier with my experiences there- the best! Highly recommended!

I referred a friend to this dentist, based on the reviews, and she loved the experience (she hates going to the dentist).  It was finally time for my checkup and I called and spoke with Kathy who could NOT have been any more pleasant!  She emailed me the required forms and followed up to make sure that I received them.   I went into the office and immediately felt at home.  Very welcoming atmosphere and Kathy was at the desk greeting me like an old friend. Dr. Ana performed all of the work and was so professional, likable, and entertaining.  At one point we were laughing with tears running down our faces.   I will definitely be back and will continue to refer friends to this practice.
A very positive experience!!

Let me start by saying, I LOVE going to the dentist.  I have loved it ever since I was young.  Leaving the dentist’s office with a mouth full of awesomely clean teeth is one of the best feelings ever!  So, keep in mind that the dentist is already a positive experience for me when I say that Dr. Ana is hands down the BEST dentist to whom I have been in my entire life.  She takes dental care to the next level. The receptionist Kathy is about the sweetest woman you’ve ever met, the new hygenist is KICK-A*# and Dr. Ana is truly one of the best out there.  The office manages to feel BOTH homey and welcoming and yet completely professional.  It is always SPOTLESSLY clean and smells wonderful.  Every single time I walk in the door and I’m greeted with the beautiful decor and Kathy’s smiling face I remember why I keep coming back. To top it all off Dr. Ana is GORGEOUS and manages to make everyone feel at ease.  If you aren’t like me and you don’t like going to the dentist, give this office a try, because it’s practically like going on vacation!  Haha!  🙂 I recommend Dr. Ana to everyone I know and can’t say enough positive things.  If you are searching for a new dentist look NO further.  You simply will NOT find a better dentist anywhere in the Beach Cities!!!   Get your pearly whites over to Beachside Smile ASAP and your mouth will thank you!

Dr. Ana and her entire team are AMAZING!!! This is hands down the best Dental Office i have ever been to. It is so refreshing to walk in and be greeted by some of the friendliest people i have ever met. More importantly, Dr. Ana is INCREDIBLE at her work. I chipped my front tooth a while back, and Dr. Ana was able to completely fix the sharp edge of the tooth so that I didnt need a cap, and you cant tell it was ever chipped in the first place! I will not trust anyone else to take care of my teeth from now on. Also, Kathy will do whatever she can to schedule you for an appointment that works for you, even if you are super busy with work. 🙂
