PATIENT REVIEWS

It was so nice to “walk in” downtown to a nice, clean and friendly space where I was welcomed! Haven’t had a dental visit in 4 years and was nervous to say the least! DDS Caligiuri took great care, didn’t pressure me or guilt me and has a very sensitive hand when cleaning. The dental assistants were very nice and thoughtful and I will now be a consistent patient! There is also a great sense of pride to attending an environmentally conscious dentistry that is doing their part in responsible relationships in part with water use and waste

Best dentist I’ve ever been to– makes visiting the dentist an enjoyable experience. Also the best staff and hygienists. Location is also perfect. Overall, a great dentist!

They are one of the best dental offices in LA. You won’t have a problem parking wise because they have a valet for free! You can call the front desk to help you find the parking and they are more than welcome to assist you. Their staffs are nice, professional and clean. When you enter their office, you can smell the aromas. Their equipments are always sterilized. Their dental chairs are comfortable. What I like the most is he explains thoroughly (the dentist), and he take his time to check on you. I called them during COVID for my mom’s condition and he thoroughly examine my mom via a video call. He made sure my mom had a good evaluation and outcome. He refereed my mom to a very good specialist. Overall, we are very satisfied!

I was previously a long time patient of Dr Raymer and now happily with Dr Caligiuri through a seemless transition. Lynn is always pleasant at the front desk and Vanessa is quick to greet with a smile and start the prepping for the doctor. Dr Caligiuri is very warm and professional. I actually don’t mind the “dreaded dental visit” as people usually refer to.  My entire family comes here, so that speaks volumes. Keep up the great work!!!

I’ve had some traumatic experiences at the dentist so I’m naturally apprehensive when I need a cleaning or dental work. Dr Caligiuri is very calming and incredibly accommodating to subside my anxiety I won’t go anywhere else for my dental needs . Additionally, Luz is a huge asset to this office , she’s incredibly engaging and helpful by always working you into your ideal appointment dates and times when possible . I was a regular patient at Dr Mungcal’s Downtown Dental but was completely put off by the hard sell and exorbitant pricing . Environdental is very forthcoming and doesn’t recommend anything you don’t need.

The doctor and his staff and friendly and professional. Came in for a cleaning and check up and the doctor found a loose crown and a small cavity. He explained everything and showed me the X-rays and I felt well informed. Unlike a lot of other places, I did not feel like he was upsetting me. Last week I had the filling and the office was on time, it was painless, and I was out within the hour. Love this place.

Greatest dentist everrrrrr! Honestly, Dr. C is my man! He hooked up my smile and really always has a friendly demeanor and super knowledgeable. Everyone should come here because he’s the most professional and cool dentist. Hey, he even did my deep cleaning after I had my morning coffee. If that’s not dedication I don’t know what is. *swoon*

I am so glad to have found Environdental – not only is it so convenient in terms of location for me, Dr. Caligiuri and his staff are some of the best around. I had a wonderful dentist growing up, then never found one in NYC that I loved (lived there for many years). I’m so glad I had no trouble finding a good dentist here in LA. Dr. Caligiuri is friendly, efficient, and honest. His hygenists have all been great. I appreciate when I ask about something, he gives me options, what the risks/benefits are, and if something is financially worth it (if elective). For instance, I have veneers on my two front teeth. I want to get my teeth whitened, but have been told the veneer’s color won’t change. Dr. Caliguiri was honest and told me I could still try, if I wanted, but to beware of this and that it may not be financially worth it. I appreciated that! Also, as a working professional, his office opens early some days and stays open late on others. Makes it so easy to get in those cleanings!

Talk about going above and beyond! Dr. Caligiuri is so professional, polite, kind and absolutely the best Dentist ever, and Luz is so sweet, kind and helpful. I had a dental emergency a few weeks ago. on a Sunday, and I called the office over the weekend to leave a voicmail to have the office call me when they’re back in to schedule an appointment asap to get my broken crown repaired. Within an hour from leaving my voicemail, I received a call from Dr Caligiuri, (on the Sunday, his day off.). He then suggested and offered to meet me at his office that Sunday afternoon, to put a temporary crown on until we could get a new crown ordered. I am so happy I found Environdental when I moved in DTLA a couple of years ago, and it’s so conveniently located near my loft on Olive near 8th Street. The “above and beyond” excellent service and brilliant dental work, I have received over the last couple years is truly amazing, and I am forever grateful!

I am beyond grateful for having found Dr. Caligiuri. He is caring, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and an absolute professional. He is transparent and explains everything in great detail. During the initial consult he went through all my X-Rays and told me his concerns, what things I should keep an eye on and what things I shouldn’t worry about. He didn’t try to sell me products or unnecessary procedures. When Dr. Caligiuri began working on my teeth, I appreciated his chair side manner, dedication to his art, passion for precision and perfection that guaranteed my dental needs would be well met, from cavities to crowns, with meticulous attention to detail and innovation. As for his staff, they too are amazing. Luz was kind and courteous and ever so accommodating with scheduling. Bottom line: For those who have busy work schedules Environdental offers evening hours and Saturday appointments! Oh and they are located conveniently in DTLA (near Whole Foods).

There fast and very nice and the staff is amazing and funny and fun they make ur day way better if u have a bad day they make it better with their positive attitudes especially when ur getting ur teeth done you’ll enjoy ur time there.

I really like that Dr. Caligiuri practices environmentally friendly methods and that was the deciding factor when I choose this dentist in DTLA. Bonus is that he makes each visit professional but also super easy because of his great personality. Anyone looking for a dentist in downtown Los Angeles should definitely check him out!

This place is awesome. I am one of the few (weird) people who actually likes going to the dentist, and Dr. Caligiuri makes it easy. The front desk staff is great, and there’s very little wait time. After cleanings, they even give you a warm towel and glass of mouthwash.  Validated parking and early morning appointments round out the many reasons why I love this place.

Today I had my second appointment with Dr. Caligiuri at Environdental. My last appointment I had an intensely, deep cleaning as I was going to be having a root canal within the next two weeks. Dr. Caligiuri was very gentle and the cleaning was not uncomfortable for a moment. Regular teeth cleanings are usually painful and this one was a deep cleaning. It was the best cleaning experience I have ever had. I was surprised that the dentist himself performed the cleaning. That impressed me and told me a lot about the way he feels about making sure his patients receive the best care. He is thorough and has a great personality, he is welcoming and friendly, and you feel like you trust him immediately. And you should because today I went for a root canal that I knew I needed for the past year and a half, but put off until now. He was able to fill it without giving me a root canal. He placed a protective layer over my root, fully cleaned the tooth and then filled it. It was my very back tooth on the top, which is considered a molar, even if you’ve had your wisdom teeth removed like I have. The whole process took less than a half an hour, if you can believe that. During my initial exam when I had x-rays and they showed that I would definitely need the root canal, just as another dentist had told me over a year ago, Dr. Caligiuri went the extra mile by doing a cold test on the tooth and surrounding teeth and he immediately knew he could save me from the root canal based on my responses to the cold test. He had to do some drilling today to find out whether or not my root was completely exposed or not, but he was right. The last two dentists at another dentistry both agreed there was no way around a root canal, but this doctor had a feeling he could save me the discomfort and expense of a root canal. He was right and it was a great experience. Like I said, he was quick and thorough- a rare combination. The rest of the staff at Environdental are the nicest people too. They are genuine and kind and made the whole experience of going to the dentist a pleasure as opposed to what it usually is…going to the dentist. There is no question that this is the best dental practice in the greater Los Angeles area.

I’ve been going to Environdental from almost the beginning of it being in existence, and I highly recommend the business. Dr. Caligiuri is great, friendly and thoughtful, and does a thorough and quality job. Luz, his assistant, is warm and welcoming, flexible on appointments and helpful in the reminders. I love the location – clean, new, and environmentally friendly. And its even across the street from a Whole Foods, so you can get some shopping done after an appointment. Thanks, Environdental!!!!

Fantastic experience. Dr. Caligiuri is patient, empathetic, and happy to answer any and all questions. I was dissatisfied with my previous dentist, so I came here after a friend highly recommended I make an appointment with him. I was worried about the procedure I needed, but Dr. Caligiuri was kind, efficient, and explained everything to me before he started. The procedure was as comfortable as it could have been, and I left happy with the whole experience. Luz is also very warm, friendly, and enjoyable to talk to. Both of them have exceptional bedside manners and are truly excellent at what they do. The office itself is beautiful, with complimentary coffee and tea, and after each visit you get a hot towel, mouthwash, and chapstick. Parking can be a little tricky in the neighborhood, but it’s absolutely worth it for the quality of the experience. I’ll definitely be coming back here in future! I’m so glad I found a dentist I like in Los Angeles. If you’re looking for a new dentist (or want to switch dentists), you can’t do better than this.

Dr. Matt made me feel comfortable and was extremely professional. He completed a thorough examination of my teeth and gave me upfront honest advice on how to proceed forward. I hate going to the dentist but Dr. Matt made it a painless for me to get my dental work done. I recommend him to anyone who needs a new dentist.

I have honestly never felt so comfortable at a dentist. As one who typically dreads going to the dentist, I no longer feel that way with Environdental. I was just in for a filling and cleaning, and the whole experience was pleasant, pain-free, and without stress. The most impressive part of my visit was Luz’s high level of competence with my insurance. I use an uncommon insurance company and have had troubles with it no matter where I go in LA. However, Environdental gave me the opposite experience. Prior to my visit, Luz contacted my insurance company and found out exactly what they would cover. She then emailed me a very understandable PDF before I even came in that showed what my plan covered and what I would owe out of pocket. Very impressed!

Dr. Caligiuri is an excellent and caring provider. He and his team are efficient and professional. I LOVE my teeth again thanks to Dr. Caigiuri! Easy parking and across the street from whole foods

This is place is great in so many ways. I called and made an appointment with Luz. A day before and an hour before your appointment you’ll receive a text reminder of your visit. First off they have a great location overlooking whole foods, so you can grab a bite to eat before you have a procedure or maybe after it to grab something for later, or flowers for your SO. The parking is a bit tricky at first, you can park on hill between 7th and 8th in the middle parking lot, if it’s full you’ll leave the keys with the valet, if not just park in an open spot. And you can get validation afterwards. Inside is clean and modern. Luz will help you out with the paperwork and she’ll walk you in to an open room. The room is well lit, with modern dentistry furniture and a soothing framed picture to look at. Even the chair you sit in feels premium, I really like the attention to these details. With a great music selection you will feel relaxed the whole time. I came for the evaluation and came back for a deep cleaning and to patch up some cavities, the whole process was great. Dr. Caligiuri explained everything in plain English and was happy to answer any questions I had; he did his best to make me feel at ease. After your checkup, they’ll give you mouth wash and a hot towel, if it’s your first time in, they throw in a complementary Chapstick, which is nice since your lips can get dry during the whole process. This is definitely my go to dentist now, and I highly recommend him. Never thought I would look forward for my next check up!

I moved downtown earlier this year and needed to find a new dentist and am thrilled I found Dr. Caligiuri. I did a cleaning in April and another one in November and had excellent service for both. Dr. Caligiuri is so nice! He really takes time to speak with me and build rapport. As a new patient, my first visit was to meet with him so he could determine the proper course of treatment. Then I came back for my cleaning on a different day with a hygienist. Dr. Caligiuri did my cleaning at my most recent visit. I have never had a dentist actually do my cleaning before. Such service! Very friendly staff. Good location and close to the subway. The office is very clean and modern. This place practices eco friendly dentistry. They maintain a high quality of patient care while limiting consumption of earth’s resources. For example, they use glass beverage and mouthwash cups, instead of paper. It’s so nice to come out of cleaning and have a glass of mouthwash and a hot washcloth waiting. They really put thought into the details. I highly recommend Environdental

Dr. Caligiuri is an absolutely phenomenal dentist. His office is extremely well run, all of the staff is wonderful, and they provide exceptional care. They are not at this office every day and they have some weekend and evening hours which are very convenient. If you’re looking for a dentist you should definitely go to Environdental!

If you want an honest dentist who cares about preserving as much of your original teeth as possible, Dr. Caligiuri at Environdental is the perfect person to go to! His philosophy is simple: to keep your teeth healthy with minimal invasive procedures, that’s good for you and also good for planet Earth. This symbiotic mission is something me and my wife respect greatly about Dr. Caligiuri, as his goal to simply make a treatment plan necessary to keep your natural teeth as long lasting as possible. Dr. Caligiuri’s environmentally friendly clinic is also revolutionary, his care and attention to detail for the patients is truly an impressive experience that makes keeping your regular checkups and keeping your teeth healthy a breeze and something look forward to! Thanks so much Dr. Caligiuri, and also his awesome assistants, Luz and Wendy for the care. Happy teeth, happy patients!

Clean, friendly and efficient service. Dr. Caligiuri is kind, professional and pleasant to be around as he’s performing work on your teeth. Probably the most thorough cleanings I have ever had are here. I actually look forward to coming here for my regular check-ups and cleanings. Great find in DTLA!

Best dentist I’ve ever been to. Not only does he take great care to make sure that procedures are as comfortable as possible, but his work is fantastic as well. Every time I’ve had work done I’ve been 100% satisfied. I’ve never thought that something different could have been done or that more could’ve been ground off, etc. it’s always been perfect. This guy is the best. I highly recommend him. I’ll continue seeing him no matter where I live or work.

Staffs are really professional. Dr. Caligiuri is really pleasant to be around and very personable. I had my crown done and it fell off, I called the dentist and he right away call me back and made a special trip to his office on the weekend to fix it. I will not hesitate to recommend him to everyone!

NEW PATIENT Scheduling an appointment was easy. When I walked in – the lovely Luz greeted me – she shot my x-rays & then Dr. Caligiuri took his time consulting with me. He is a professional dental genius – gentle yet thorough. I’m beyond thrilled! This is a clean and efficient practice. Thank you Dr C and Luz!

I’m writing this review because before I found Environdental, I had disliked all of my dentists and had a perpetual fear of visiting dental practices! Dr. Caligiuri is really nice, professional and non-judgemental. He explains procedures clearly beforehand, and unlike previous dentists I have had, never makes me feel like he is suggesting unnecessary work. His calm demeanor puts me at ease as he works gently but meticulously on my teeth. I would also say that I feel less pain that with previous dentists. Luz is also really lovely and friendly, and I love the reminders she sends for my appointments. I also really appreciate the mouthwash and the hot towel at the end of each appointment. The interior of Environmental is spotlessly clean, peaceful, and beautifully designed. I have never had to wait more than a couple of minutes in the waiting room, and usually walk straight in! I recommend this practice to all of my friends in need of a dentist!

I absolutely love my new dentist! Dr. Caligiuri is very friendly, knowledgeable and honest. I arrived for my first appointment and he made sure to answer all of my questions. His staff was also very friendly and thoroughly explained the prices for my work that needed to be done. Parking is validated, which is always nice in DTLA and is located just around the block on 737 S. Hill St. You can also cut through the parking lots to get to his office without having to walk all the way around the block. I would definitely recommend Dr. Caligiuri to all of my friends!

I finally found a dentist with whom I’m very happy! Dr. C is smart, friendly, competent, and professional; I like that he’s very polite to his assistants, too. His office is very modern and clean. His prices are good. Unlike so many other dentists, Dr. C doesn’t push unnecessary services on you. He is efficient and doesn’t make you wait around at all . . . he was totally on time for both of my visits. He corrected the bonding that another dentist had done on one of my molars, polished it up with care, and even smoothed out one of my chipped teeth for free while he was in there. I’m having my girlfriend switch to him, too, as he’s much better than her usual dentist.

After an 8 year gap of not visiting a dentist, Dr. Caliguiri made me not dread the experience. Their space is incredibly clean and modern… and they always play great music through the sound system. This all helps sitting in the chair while you have your teeth worked on that much more palatable. Dr. C himself is incredibly personable and professional. I’m happy to swing by every six months for a cleaning. Would highly recommend Environdental to anyone looking for a more enjoyable experience at the dentist.

If you’re looking for a dentist, Downtown or otherwise, just do yourself a favor and go to Environdental. You will not regret it, I promise you. It’s worth whatever travel or parking hassles you may need to go through to get there. If you live or work within walking distance, then you have no excuse. I went here for the first time knowing nothing about the place; they’re close to my apartment and they were in my provider’s network. I’m now convinced I can never go anywhere else. Dr. Caliguiri and Luz are two of the most warm and welcoming people I’ve encountered in any healthcare environment. The office is clean, modern, and inviting. There’s espresso in the lobby (!!!). After each appointment, they offer a warm towel and mouthwash to freshen up before you leave. Luz had researched my insurance and knew what was covered before I even arrived (it was all covered except one copay). I just can’t speak highly enough about the whole experience – and all this coming from a guy who typically despises going to the dentist. As for Dr. Caliguiri, I’m glad he’s a relatively young guy, because I’ll be visiting him for decades, and recommending everyone else I know to do the same thing. He’s very knowledgeable, but explains everything in understandable terms. Before my first appointment, he sat down and chatted with me for 10 minutes, not just learning my dental history, but also getting to know me and letting me get to know him. His bedside manor is second to none, as is the work he does. So if you’re looking for a new dentist (and since you’re reading this, I’ll assume you are), please just save yourself the trouble and go to Dr. Caliguiri and Environdental. Even if you’re like me and you resent going to the dentist, this place is great enough not just to make it tolerable, but actually enjoyable.

Dr Calguiri is THE BEST! I’ve been a patient for almost two years and it’s always been just routine cleanings. This weekend my boyfriend cracked a tooth and only had one day off in 8 days so I contacted Dr Calguiri on Memorial Day and asked if he could help. The Dr called me back on Memorial Day and squeezed us in for the next day! My boyfriend was not his patient, but Dr Calguiri came in the next day, after hours just to help us! He is kind and thoughtful and we are forever grateful!

This is by far the best experience I’ve ever had at the dentist’s. Dr. Caligiuri is incredibly warm, patient, and personable. His desire and passion to practice environmentally friendly dentistry really shines through in every aspect of the office layout and the visit — everything is “just right,” and there’s never “too much” whether in terms of rinses, instrument noise (actually quietest and most gentle of anywhere I’ve been), to the perfect amount of soap coming out the dispenser at the bathroom. There’s something so elegant about utilizing only what is necessary to get the job done — and it makes for a clean and very positive experience. I will definitely be back, and absolutely recommend Dr. Caligiuri and Environdental to anyone looking for a wonderful dentist and office.

I am new to LA and finding a dentist is very over-whelming. Luckily, I came across Dr. Caligiuri! I hadn’t had a proper check-up in awhile and he was very informative and put my worries at ease. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does and is warmhearted in his manner. Luz is also very friendly and was helpful with me filling out my paperwork : ) Plus, the office is very sleek and modern and being green friendly, I love that he incorporates electronic forms and you can even plant his business card!! I am excited to see what grows!!
