PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Candelora is amazing and his hygienist Joanne is very gentle. I used to have terrible anxiety around going to the dentist due to the fact I was never really numb when work was done and it always hurt. I had seen 6-7 dentists from childhood until Candelora and none of them could figure out how to numb me properly. Candelora figured out how to numb me for my first filling with him. (I think my numbing issues are genetic since my mom has the exact same problem). Dr. Candelora uses a non-standard numbing agent and does 3-4 shots over 30 minutes to get me numb before he starts work; it works like a charm! No other dentist took the time nor had his extensive knowledge of dentistry. I no longer have any dental anxiety since it no longer hurts to get work done. I am a research scientist and it didn’t take me long to figure out he is incredibly smart and keeps up on the latest research and technology in dentistry. He is also very personable and his office staff are all very wonderful and kind. Thank you Dr. Candelora!

This is an outstanding office and I am so glad that we were referred to Dr. Candelora years ago. The doctor is kind, a clear communicator, and he listens. Plus, his work as a dentist is excellent. I absolutely know that he takes my dental health very seriously and sincerely wants the very best for me. The staff is tremendous — I’ve had everyone do a cleaning on me and have always been happy with the experience. Personally, with both the doctor and his hygienist staff, I have never experienced pain. And I’ve had a lot of work done in this office. Also, the front desk staff are always kind, friendly and helpful. He really has assembled a tremendous team. One of the most important things to me is the absolute cleanliness of the office environment. I feel very safe there. We are getting ready to do some major cosmetic work and I am going in to it with total confidence that everyone will be working at the top of their game to make sure I am happy with the result. With all of this, I am speaking from a place of broad, and unfortunate, point of reference. Years ago, we had an excellent Beverly Hills dentist that we were with for quite some time. However, he moved out of the country and sold his practice to a doctor that also had offices in the Valley. He botched a root canal and I spent thousands of dollars getting it fixed by a specialist. I was in horrific dental pain the entire summer, I didn’t get the sense that I was heard or respected, his Valley office was weirdly run and dingy, and in that office he had Fox News on every monitor. So I know what a bad office is and, with my initial doctor and with Dr. Candelora, I know what a quality experience is. You can feel confident that going to Dr. Candelora will be a quality experience.

The BEST dentist! Dr. Candelora’s dental office also has great staff who are very friendly and professional; it’s always a good experience when I come to this dental office. I highly recommend Dr. Candelora to everybody!

Dr Candelora and Dr Taormina are two of the finest dentist I’ve ever worked for as well as being a patient . They have the friendliest most kind staff and are so accommodating in every way. Dr. Ryan Candelora’s work is brilliant and he is gentle and makes the patient feel very comfortable when he works on them. This is why he is my dentist- all around I highly recommend him. I’ve been in the dental field as a dental hygienist for 24 years … and this practice is one of the best of the best! Ask for Joanne and Christy in the front ( they’ve both been their for over 20 years )… get that appointment made ! Xoxo

Dr. Candelora is simply the best! His staff is awesome and professional!! I am one who likes everything explained and I get really stressed going to the “dentist.” I am happy to “yelp” a very happy Yelp for Dr. Candelora. He is professional, kind, and skilled! I wish I could give more stars!! Thank you so much! I am less stressed and very happy! Thanks !

Words can’t fully express how I feel about Dr Ryan Candelora and his staff! I was more than pleased with the results of my veneers! I was treated with respect and professionalism. Dr Candelora made me feel relaxed and he explained everything he was doing, no surprises. I felt great! How many people get to say that about their dentist!?

Just had my last appointment with Dr. Taormina, who’s been my dentist since 1995. Dr. Taormina, who will be retiring after 40+ years of practicing dentistry, is a wonderful dentist, and will be greatly missed. I’ve had positive experiences with all the staff I’ve encountered at this practice, from the friendly front office, to the dental hygienists with the gentle touch with teeth cleaning, Dr. Candelora, who has filled in on a couple of my appointments and will be taking over the practice, and the “Finding Nemo” cast of sea life in the waiting room aquarium. I would definitely recommend this dental practice to anyone that’s looking for a dentist.

I’ve been neglecting my teeth for the past few years so I found Dr. Candelora doing an internet search. With all the positive reviews, I took a chance on the guy and I have not regretted the choice. Dr. Candelora and his staff are AWESOME. I rarely have to wait too long and everyone is so kind. The hygienist took the time to explain to me the status of my dental hygiene using photographs she took. Dr. Candelora advised me on options regarding the crooked alignment on my teeth (wear your retainer kids). He gave me his honest opinion and did not push me like a used car salesman. As patients, all we want is an honest dentist who puts their patients first and not their bank account. In my case, his advise was not to go with the most expensive option because it wasn’t necessary at the time. I would highly recommend coming to this office for your dental needs.

After having Dr. Taromina as my dentist for my entire life, and appreciating his great work, I thought it might be challenging to have a new dentist. Dr. Candelora proved me wrong! He’s great at explaining dental work and is incredibly thoughtful ( and gentle) and makes a trip to the dentist much more pleasant

Last week I had the unfortunate experience of losing my front tooth. I called into their office on Saturday and left a message. Dr Candelora returned my phone message in minutes. He gave me the opportunity to come in and see him on Saturday. I chose to go to their office on Monday. The office staff were so helpful. Dr Kim at the practice, spent time with me explaining what needed to be done. He is very sensitive to the fact that to repair my tooth he wanted perfection, as it is also a cosmetic issue.  I have a way to go until completely recovered, I am so grateful to have found this practice. Very professional, both Candelora and Kim, you can’t go wrong with either one. The support staff were kind and caring. This is the place to go for all dentistry needs!

I truly love coming to the dentist! Cindy always does an incredible job making my teeth look sparkly and Christi is always so awesome in working with my crazy work schedule. All staff is lovely and friendly. Dr. Candelora truly cares about your personal health and really hears you out on all your concerns about your dental health. I’m so grateful I found them!

I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of my family’s teeth.  Dr.’s Candelora and Kim are absolutely amazing!   I have had a lot of dentists due moving around when I was younger, but I will never go anywhere else.  Their prices are reasonable, great cleanings, and they are so knowledgeable.  Also highly recommended for cosmetic services!  They really care about you as a person and are so personable it almost makes you look forward to going to the dentist!

I have a severe dentist phobia (due to a childhood dentist who pulled my tooth out without telling me he was going to!) so I have always been very nervous about visiting dentists, even as an adult. I’ve been going to Dr. Candelora for about 1.5 years and am so relieved and happy that someone recommended him when I moved to the area- he is the BEST. His office staff is always so bright and cheerful, and Jeannie (the technician who cleans my teeth) is simply amazing. Both Jeannie and Dr. Candelora are aware of my dentist phobia and do everything they can to alleviate my anxiety. I feel relaxed during my visits (which believe me is a huge change for me). I cannot recommend this office highly enough!

I have been going to Dr. Candelora for over 6 years now (probably longer). He took over the practice of my dentist who was retiring. Dr. Candelora is soooo personable and friendly and puts you at ease. I like the fact that he knows all the newer procedures and performs them to my comfort level. Like others have said, the entire office staff is great too. They are always welcoming when I go for my semi-annual cleaning and exam. I used to work in the same buidling as this dental office and later worked at another company a block away so going here was so convenient. I live and work in the Pasadena area and still drive to Glendale for my dental needs. Its so hard finding a good dentist so I don’t mind the drive because Dr. Candelora is such a wonderful dentist.

I have been a physician for the last 44 years. During my career I have had the opportunity to interact with numerous healthcare professionals. My standards for how a healthcare professional in any field should act, listen, and care for any patient they may see is very high. Not only is Dr. Candelora one of the most caring and dedicated healthcare professionals I have ever had the pleasure to know, but his entire office staff is among the best I have ever encountered.

Dr. Candelora and his staff are all fabulous. First of all, I am nearly always sitting in an exam chair within 5 minutes of arriving. The hygienists are very gentle but thorough, and are all very friendly. Dr. Candelora uses up-to-date equipment with a very gentle touch, and is a great guy. He doesn’t try to upsell or recommend things I don’t need done, and he follows up when there’s a problem. I highly recommend him for adults and children alike!

Dr Candelora and his staff are all superstars to say the least.  They have turned my frown upside down on more than one occasion. From the back office to the front receptionists, they make you feel like one of the family. Thank you all for your genuine compassion and outstanding patient care.  You guys rock!

I am a new patient of Dr. Candelora. After many of my friends raved about him, now I get why. He is very personable, runs on time while still managing to go slow and explain everything. Glad I have a new dentist with a wonderful team!

Excellent dentist. Recommend him to all my friends. Truly an all around good person, with the best demeanor and skills as a dentist. An hour drive is never an issue for this level of service. Everyone in the office from reception to hygienist is friendly and professional. I never give reviews, but could not be happier with this office.

Drs. Candelora and [now] Kim are very personable, respectful, and most importantly, capable dentists. I struggled for years to find a quality dentist in L.A. after moving here from elsewhere and was finally fortunate enough to be recommended by someone to Dr. Candelora. He’s always been great about explaining things, taking time to understand any issues, and handling things right the first time. His staff are all very friendly and great people, I recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist in the greater Los Angeles area as he is worth the drive from wherever you are.

Dr. Candelora is an awesome dentist… He’s been my dentist for the past twelve years and will be a patient for life…. Regardless of your dental problem, Dr. Candelora takes the time to discuss and explain (with all of his patients) what their treatment options are, conducts gentle exams and uses exceptional gentleness during those most uncomfortable procedures…. His staff is very professional and provide exceptional customer service.

Best. Dentist. Ever. Dr Candelora’s office was referred to me several years ago, and I have been repeatedly impressed since day one. The facility is clean, the staff is kind, the service is impeccable, and his medical treatments are superb. This is THE place to go for your dental care!

From start to finish, a delightful experience. Odd to eay about a dental appointment, perhaps, but nonetheless quite true. I felt safe, all of my needs and concerns well cared for, and I had fun. Come on…highly professional staff that is on point, and you actually enjoy your visit; what more can you ask for?  I am grateful for the recommendation that led me to this office! 10 friggin stars !!

Dr. Ryan Candelora is such a warm, approachable, friendly dentist who does excellent work.  He was referred to me by a friend and co-worker, and I could not be more grateful.  He saw my mother today on an emergency visit because her front canine tooth had broken off.  He reattached it, and it looks great!  A big thank you to him, his staff, and his office!
