Practice Profile Page

Recommend! Dr. Doshi’s dental office is a hidden treasure which my wife recommended to me! Dr. Doshi has been my dentist for a while and is by far the most professional and competent dentist ever to work on my teeth. Dr. Doshi is respectful to individual customer needs and has outstanding integrity. Dr. Doshi, identifies problems accurately, shows exactly what is wrong on the x-rays and then solves the problem. Every staff member is intelligent, courteous and easy to talk to. The fact that this staff is so great shows not only that Dr. Doshi is a great dentist but that she also has outstanding leadership. The experience in Dr. Doshi’s office is on par with high-end Beverly Hills cosmetic dental offices, but at regular dental rates and preferred by my current dental insurance. On a final note, this is the first dental office to give me a free tooth brush since the 1980s!

I first came to Dr. Doshi a few years ago after my previous Santa Monica based dentist caused me to have multiple issues with two different root canals. The differences in service were so immediately apparent. Nice clean office, friendly staff, and she fixed two very problematic teeth my last dentist just kept charging me for.

I met Bella by coincidence, at a local restaurant when I was out with friends. She had told me she had a dental practice in Santa Monica. At the time, I made a mental note of that in case I ever needed a competent local Dentist. I have been going to my Dentist in Canada my whole life, so I am not big on change, but that being said, I need to have someone who is locally capable and reliable . Previous to my visit, I had been seeing another nice Dentist in Westwood for the last 5 years or so. Great guy, very responsive, by phone and email, but I felt his Hygienist and cleanings were not that great compared to what I was used to with my Dentist in Canada. I needed a Teeth cleaning exam with Xrays, and so I decided to give Bella a shot. The office is impeccably clean, the ladies at the front Desk were lovely and the Hygienist, I believe her name was Wendy, was very thorough, and knowledgeable, and very detailed in her cleaning. She offered tips for which tooth brush and floss to use, and made the experience very pleasant. I had no wait in the office at all, and was in and out in about an hour. I did have a discount coupon that made it easier, but the point is, even without it, this office, on my first visit does nice professional work with warm ambiance and nice friendly staff. I had asked for a copy of my Xrays and received right away, by email, so they are very responsive. Bella, is a doll, very charming, good human social skills, which is an important RARE trait for a Dr/Dentist. She seemed like a true expert at what she does. She looked at my Xrays, gave me her general opinion on the current state of my teeth/mouth, and it felt like she had a lot of integrity. On a personal level, it is hard for me to trust new Dr’s or Lawyers in USA, especially LA, where everyone wants to make $ and upsell you, even if you don’t need the work done. Bella was very classy, did not criticize or downplay my Canadian dentist, and even endorsed his night guard he had made for me, regarding, my clenching teeth. She did not try and push any services on me, and was very on point with any small questions I had Bottom line, is I would not hesitate to refer and recommend any new friends, family, and work colleagues to her practice. On this initial first experience, she is a pleasure to deal with, great location on West Side, and her staff is very punctual and responsive. 5 stars for this great first impression/appointment, and hopefully, a nice trusted relationship for my dental health going forward.

I needed to replace a chip off a front tooth and Dr. Doshi did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price.  Her work in the past has likewise been excellent, hence why I continue to come to her for all my dental needs.

After years of traumatic dental experiences, and virtually on the cusp of enlisting the help of an anesthesiologist for even the simplest of procedures, i started seeing Dr. Doshi. Doshi has all the usual pros: clean and comfortable office, impeccable professionalism and punctuality, but what differentiates her from all other dentist I’ve met is her flawless attention to detail and sensitivity. All the work I’ve had done in Doshi’s office has been immaculate. And the cherry on top is that Doshi is not an alarmist; I’ve never once left her office, whatever work i may have needed, feeling utterly futile like so many times in the past. I used to commute from Sherman Oaks to see her. Now i come all the way from London!

On my first visit, Wendy, the hygenist was absolutely stellar! Her technique was excellent and she was so very personable. Although I only met Dr. Doshi for a moment, her bedside (chairside?) manner is en pointe. I knew I’d found my new dentist! I returned a few weeks later and had all my old fillings replaced and a new one done. Dr. Doshi chatted with me about a recent concert experience. I appreciated being treated like a valued client as well as a patient under her care. Also, it was as if she and her hygienist, Wendy, read each other’s minds. They were flawless in their communication. Finally, the office staff is cheerful, polite and professional. They manage all the details so you know what you have going on and when it’s going to happen. Add to that their use of SMS text for scheduling, and you’ve got a just about ideal situation.

Let’s face it, going to the dentist is like, well, having your teeth pulled – pun intended! I’ve been to over 10 dentists in my (lets say) mature life. It took me this, so many years, to find a dentist that is so professional, pristinely clean and with a “hold your hand” bed side manor that takes all of the grief away from from this annual (in my case bi-annual) dreaded visit. Dr. Doshi has this zen inner peace that radiates to her patients that just works. She has past on these traits to her staff, so the whole office runs on a mantra styled hum. She not only knows teeth, she knows the whole mouth and all extenuating contributions each part plays in your oral health. I am very happy I found her office and hope this is my last stop in my very long journey in making this once old anxious feeling about going to the dentist now as easy as brushing your teeth – pun intended!

Dr. Doshi is really great! She is not only extremely experienced and knowledgeable but she is also very informative and aware of your personal needs and questions that you may have. She and her staff are super nice and very attentive. She is constantly keeping you informed while she is working on your treatment and asks you if you are doing okay or if you have any pain. She let’s you know ahead of time what she will be doing and what to expect. Her office is pristine and she uses all the latest dental technology and advancements so you really get the best treatment possible. I’ve had fillings, cleanings and other procedures done by Dr. Doshi over the last 20 years however recently I had some major issues starting with an old root canal that needed a re-treatment, plus another tooth that needed an extraction & implant, and also another crown on a 3rd tooth that was needed. Dr. Doshi recommended me to a great Oral Surgeon and an Endodontist for the other pre work that needed to be done and then Dr. Doshi did the post work and my crowns and she is going to do my implant afterwards. She has really made this as easy as possible for me to go thru. She not only checks in on you to see how you are doing later that same day after your treatment, but depending on your treatment, she also sends you home with a little to go bag with Vitamin E oil and Aloe juice in little to go containers to help with the sensitivity area, swelling etc to rub on your gums and tooth area! I highly recommend Dr. Doshi for your or your entire family’s dental needs!

After several glowing reports from friends my wife and I decided to try Dr Bella Doshi DDS in Long Beach. Even though it’s a 20 mile drive we are very happy with her Expertise and High Quality Dental work. No one does a more complete examination. You will be happy you gave her a try.
