Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:

We found Garfinkle Family Dental when our kids had moved on from their pediatric dental office and my wife and I were tired of driving an hour and a half to our westside dentist. We can’t recommend Dr Mindy and Dr Adam highly enough. Their staff are wonderful and the office is modern and efficient. They have handled all our dental needs for the past year and have made visits a friendly, even enjoyable experience. Can you imagine saying you like to go to the dentist? Recently I had a dental emergency over the weekend. Dr. Mindy offered to come to the office on a Sunday to help repair my damaged teeth. The whole office has gone above and beyond expectations to schedule me with the other dental specialists I needed and follow up with me in the evening to see how I was doing. The Garfinkles are a family dental office that treats you like family!

Went to Dr. Mindy for a routine checkup. I’m a big wuss when it comes to the dentist but she was gentle and did a great job. We also took my little one to see Dr. Mindy and all went well with her too. It’s nice to see family offices around, they seem to care a bit more. The other patients in the office seemed to be happy with her husband Dr. Adam, as well. Clean office, professional staff, 10/10 will go again.

After moving from Santa Monica I was in need of a local dentist. I looked online and took a chance on Garfinkle Family Dental. I am SO happy that I did. She take the time to explain things, and listens to your needs and concerns. I was having bad jaw pain and locking and she was able to diagnose the cause and fit me with new retainers. I no longer have jaw pain! I also have very sensitive teeth and she takes extra precaution when cleaning to avoid causing sensitivity to my trouble areas. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Mindy, she will take great care of you and your teeth!

We recently decided to make a move to a new dentist. We have been very, very happy with her and her staff. She is very enthusiastic, diligent, friendly and is a great dentist. A welcome addition the the community. You will be thrilled that you chose her for your dental needs.

So happy I found my way from Sherman Oaks to Agoura Hills to see Mindy Garfinkle again after she opened her new practice with husband Adam! The drive is more than worth the care, humor, honesty and of course, professionalism!!! Some dentists seem to want to ‘sell’ you that you need this or that done… I never felt pressured by Mindy to do anything that wasn’t necessary. Just love her approach and how my mouth is treated with such respect! If you have kids, I can only imagine how comfortable they will feel under Mindy or Adam’s care. These folks are just the VERY BEST!!! Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

Yesterday I took my three children to Garfinkle Family Dental and was very impressed. From the beautiful renovated office, the friendly office staff and Dr. Mindy herself what a wonderful experience.  The exam and cleaning was quick and painless for my 4 year old and 7 year old twins. Dr. Mindy was such a pleasure and kept my kids entertained throughout the whole process.  My kids even asked when they could go back…such a change from their former dentist.  I would highly recommend Dr. Mindy and Garfinkle Family Dental.

Would give seven stars if I could. By far the best dentist I’ve ever had! The Garfinkle team are expert at what they do. Unlike many dentists I’ve had, they are patient and when explaining the problems with my teeth in friendly layman terms. They are both genuinely friendly and wonderful to speak with. The office is clean and welcoming. Great experience

★★★★★

Let me start off by saying…….Agoura Hills is 1 Lucky City to have the Stupendous team of Dr.Mindy and Dr.Adam Garfinkle to attend to the Dental needs of the Community!!!! My Son and I make the one and a half hour drive to receive all Dental Care with them. My Son and I both have gotten numbing injections prior to seeing Dr.Mindy, and it was a very uncomfortable and painful experience. Now, neither one of us has any reservations or anxiety with getting numbed for completion of Dental work!!! I also Appreciate that they don’t treat me like I have gone to Dental School, and that they explain things in Laymans terms. I always walk out of Garfinkle Family Dental feeling like I had just had a Relaxing Spa Day 🙂 You won’t Go Wrong by becoming a Patient of this Great Dental Team !!!!!

I can not say enough great things about Garfinkle Family Dental. I saw Dr. Adam and my three year old saw Dr. Mindy. Both of us had a wonderful experience! The office is gorgeous and the staff is super helpful and friendly. I am so excited that I found Dr. Mindy and Dr. Adam for my family! They truly are the BEST!

★★★★★

5 stars are not enough! I came to this practice because I had a horrible experience at a different office in Westlake. Thank goodness I found my way here! Dr. Mindy and Dr. Adam run an amazing practice that’s reliable, trustworthy, and overall fantastic. They are superb dentists and amazing people with great staff! I recommend them to all my family and friends.

★★★★★

From scheduling my appointment to walking out of my visit, my entire experience at Garfinkle Family Dental has been phenomenal. I love their online scheduling feature, the scheduling coordinator was so responsive & made scheduling my visit a breeze. The office is beautiful & cozy, I felt welcomed right when I walked in. The woman at the front desk was so kind & made the new patient paperwork process so simple & I was immediately introduced to the dental assistant who was so gentle in taking my xrays. I love Dr. Mindy, she’s so caring & attentive. It was so nice chatting with her & I really appreciated her explaining each examination process. She is so motivating & shared with great oral care at home, my teeth will be in great shape the next time I see her. I’m so excited to come back for my next visit & will be telling all my family and friends about my amazing new dentist!

We have recently moved our family to Garfinkle Family Dental and it has been a really wonderful experience. Dr Mindy is a caring and friendly person and her entire team is super-professional and also very accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. It’s always a beautiful thing when you can find wonderful health partners/practitioners for your whole family

★★★★★

Drs. Mindy and Adam are both exceptional! Not only are they talented professionals who provide top care for the entire family, they are also very caring and make kids’ dental visits extra special and fun. Our two year old daughter had her first visit today, and she could go back again tomorrow and every day. Not only are they wonderful, their staff is lovely and helpful, appointments and billing are easy, convenient location with easy parking, a beautiful office (with lots of toys and space for kids to play!).

Megan C. from Calabasas, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Garfinkle Family Dental is hands down the best practice our family has ever been to! The office is clean, welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly. We have a two year old and were anticipating she would be too scared, but Dr.Mindy made her feel at ease and actually made seeing the dentist fun for her! Dr.Mindy and Dr.Adam are very professional, sincere, and truly care about their patients. I’m so relieved we found them! 5 out of 5 stars!!

My husband and I are so happy we changed to Garfinkle Family Dental after our dentist retired. We’ve always been happy with our dentists but Dr.Adam and Dr. Mindy are amazing – professional, gentle and PAINLESS. The office and equipment are state of the art. We live in Marina del Rey and don’t think twice about the beautiful drive along the coast.

★★★★★

This has to be THE BEST dental place I have ever been to. I LOVE Dr. Mindy! She is so beyond sweet!! I’m a get in, get out kinda gal, and that’s exactly what they do here. They’re very accommodating with 7am appointments and always treat you with respect and sincerity. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone who lives in the Westlake/Oak Park/Agoura/Calabasas area!!

Marti B. from Los Angeles, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

This is a great dental practice! The staff and dentists are super nice with extensive experience! We changed dentist from another local office that we were unhappy with, I am so happy we did! Dr. Mindy helped me perfect my smile and Dr Adam helped my sons with their dentistry needs. They do great with both adults and kids! I highly recommend them!

Robert B. from Los Banos, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I originally heard of Dr Mindy and Dr Adam because a client of mine referred me to their office a while back.  Like most people, I don’t love going to the dentist, so I put off my first visit until I had an emergency.  And it was an absolute EMERGENCY by the time I made an appointment.  I have had a lot on dental work on my front teeth, and one day while eating, my front tooth broke off! Thankfully, it didn’t cause pain. But I work in a high end business and I couldn’t go to work looking like I did! Dr Mindy got me in immediately and made me a temporary, right then a there. No need for me to wait or set up an additional appointment.  Since I travel a lot for work, Dr Adam made me an additional removable temporary that I could take with me, in case I was out of town and had any trouble.  Now that’s what I call customer service!.  I am so grateful to the doctors and I will be referring them to anyone and everyone!  Thank you Garfinkle Family Dental!!!

The dynamic duo! My husband and I are so happy that we found Garfinkle Family Dental! Being transplants from Boston, finding a new dentist could have been daunting, but thank goodness for the day we received their mailing announcing their new practice. As many others are pointing out, the team here is extremely welcoming, professional, and caring. So happy to be supporting this young family in their new business. Thanks for everything!

Bonnie S. from Canoga Park, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Mindy is the absolute best! She is amazing with all three of my kids. They are always excited to go to Garfinkle Family Dental. The entire office is friendly and always accommodating. I would highly recommend Garfinkle Family Dental.

★★★★★

Garfinkle Family Dental is everything you could ever want in a dental office and so much more! The staff is friendly, kind, and accommodating. The office is not only beautiful, but clean and kid friendly. Dr. Mindy and Dr. Garfinkle are absolutely the best in the business. Their dynamic accommodates every and all types of people. I can get my husband near the dental office, but he actually reminds me now that it’s time for his cleanings. My daughter has a blast coming to see Dr. Mindy, and I can’t imagine going to anyone else than this office. Thank you Garfinkle Family Dental! You’re the best!

★★★★★

Dr. Mindy was by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to. She was tremendously kind and put me at ease right away. She is also clearly an excellent dentist because I never felt any physical discomfort under her care. I had three cavities filled and never felt a thing. Also she did a beautiful job because I can’t even tell which tooth, if any, has a filling. I love this dental office because the ambiance is very nice and they have the most modern and top of the line equipment. I was shocked that I had a cavities and she could sense my surprise because he took the time to actually show me the cavities in my mouth using this high tech camera they have. Overall I highly recommend this dental office. I felt very cared for and Dr. Mindy did a very thorough job. My teeth have never felt so clean or looked so white after a cleaning. I can’t wait to come back in 6 months for my next cleaning!

I went to Garfinkle Family Dental after a friend of mine had referred myself and my children to the office. I am so glad I met Dr Mindy and Dr Garfinkle!!! The office was beautiful, clean, and state-of-the-art. I saw Dr Garfinkle and my three children saw Dr Mindy. Dr Garfinkle was warm, caring, and I felt as though I was seeing a friend, rather than a dentist. He took the time to listen to my concerns and needs, and the fees were more than reasonable for us as a family. My kids also had a wonderful experience! They were talking the whole way home about how much fun they had and they couldn’t wait to go back! Not typical for teenagers visiting the dentist:) This office gets five stars! Thanks Dr Mindy and Dr. Garfinkle!!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Adam and Dr. Mindy Garfinkle. We heard about their practice through a family member, and after glowing reviews, decided to give them a try. I was mortified to learn at my visit that I had first cavity (!), but Dr. Adam was incredibly patient when answering all of my questions and walking me through my X-Rays. He calmed all of my fears for the small procedure, and made it virtually painless to boot! I was incredibly impressed with the attentiveness, service, and overall experience with Garfinkle Family Dental. As I have family in the area, I will now be scheduling my dental appointments to coincide with my regular trips to SoCal. Look forward to seeing them again in 6 months!

My son goes to Tutor Time, and Dr Mindy Garfinkle came into his class to show them how to brush thier teeth! He was SO excited to use his new tooth brush, that I made an appointment for myself! I recieved the best care at Garfinkle Family Dental.

Macara B. from Agoura Hills, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Hands down a great family dentist! The office was able to accommodate all 3 boys  getting cleanings in one day!  Dr. Mindy is friendly, warm and excellent at connecting with her patients so they feel comfortable. The office is state of the art, clean, and beautifully decorated. Garfinkle Family Dentistry is a little gem in Agoura Hills. I highly recommend anyone who needs a dentist, or is looking for a change to try Garfinkle Family Dentistry. They really give superior customer service and patient care.

I had a dental emergency while on vacation.  I saw Dr. Mindy at Garfinkle Family Dental and it was different than any dental visit I have ever had, and I have been to many dentists .  I was seen immediately and everything was explained to me in a way I understood.  It was the most relaxing experience I have ever had at a dental office.  There was no pain and I actually enjoyed the visit, I felt as though I was a friend, not a patient.  The office is clean and modern and the staff was great.  They even accepted my out of state insurance.  I am going to get my teeth cleaned on my next vacation

Stephanie D. from Lancaster, CA (Source: Yelp)

WoW!! Is the way I will begin my review. Dr.Mindy at Garfinkle Family Dental is a Dental Superhero in my book! At my age, lets just say i have been to just a few dozen Dentists over the years. I am extremely scared of injections given during treatment, but Hallelujah i dont have to be anymore!! She truly gives the most painless injections  and her technique is flawless everytime!!!  Dr.Mindy makes you feel like an old friend the minute she introduces herself. The office is relaxing and quiet, and well designed and decorated. Garfinkle Family Dental is definetly a Phenomenal  place to handle all your Dental needs!! In fact, Dr.Mindy is So Great at what she does, that I drive an hour and a half each way to see her!!? And, she’s worth every minute of the long drive 🙂

Due to some crummy experiences with an orthodontist as a kid, I’ve had life-long anxiety around the dentist’s chair and anyone poking around in my mouth. I’ve now had fillings done with both Dr. Mindy & Dr. Adam and I can say they are hands-down the best dentists I’ve ever been to!  Both of them are talented at administering the pain-numbing needle: it was quick, completely painless, and numbed me perfectly. (Which is not always the case – I’ve had horrible numbing, or lack-of-numbing, experiences in the past with another dentist). Both Drs Garfinkle are really outgoing, fun to talk to, and immediately put their patients at ease. Everyone who works there is very friendly. I wish I could give more stars.

Fantastic!! I found them by looking at reviews of dentists on Yelp. Yelp is how I find good business now after dealing with not so good business in the past. They’re really as great as everyone says. My front lower tooth chipped. I didn’t think it could be fixed without re doing my whole tooth and they easily fixed it within minutes without a huge crown. It looks great and you can’t even tell it was ever chipped. They put a crown on my back tooth yesterday and I didn’t even need Novacaine and it didn’t hurt at all. Needless to say, I’m very happy with them!

This entire office is so professional and unbelievably kind and helpful. I have been driving to childhood dentist in the city and finally gave in because cannot do the traffic and am so happy to have found them and to slowly migrate us all to this office including our baby someday soon. Thank you Peggy for all your help and thank you Dr Adam for being so welcoming and warm. Recommend :))

This was by far the best dental experience I have ever had. I’ve avoided the dentist for about two years but my last dentist was so awful and wouldn’t listen to what I was telling him was wrong. I went in first for a full set of x-rays and they told me everything I needed to have done, but waited a few days to start the work (I hate when you think you’re going in for someone thing simple and leave with a bunch of work). They told me how much everything would cost before hand and were so gentle when working on me. The office is BEAUTIFUL and so clean. I’ve been telling everyone I know about them. Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!!

This is the best dentist that I have ever been to. The staff are friendly and professional. The office is clean and well designed. The dental care is up to date with the latest and greatest and excellent overall quality! On top of this Dr. Garfinkle is very personable, really the nicest person. I really can’t speak more highly of this dentist and dental office!

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR

Adam and Mindy Garfinkle have been practicing dentistry since 2011. After working as associates they decided to open their own practice. They wanted to focus on building lasting relationships and providing quality care to their patients. Come see how they can make you smile! As an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California, Dr. Mindy studied Biology and Art History; she didn't always want to be a dentist. She knew she had a passion for both science and art, but she wasn't sure how she could combine the two into a fulfilling career. But after working with dentists, providing care to patients and seeing the transformations that dentistry allowed, Dr. Mindy knew she had found what she was searching for. After attending the prestigious University of Michigan School of Dentistry and graduating in the top of her class, Dr. Mindy continued on in a post-doc residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry, focusing on esthetics. It was her love of art that first sparked her interest in the field of dentistry, and it is what makes Dr. Mindy strive for not only a functional result, but a beautiful one as well. Together with her husband, Dr. Mindy provides thorough care to her patients in a comfortable and relaxing environment. Although Dr. Mindy enjoyed her time in the mid-west while she completed her education, she was eager to get back to her Southern California home. She is happily married to her husband, Adam, and together they have a handsome little boy who was born November 5th, 2016 and a beautiful Toy Husky named Meeka. Although Dr. Mindy stays busy with work, travel and spending time with her family, there's always enough time for her to cheer on her favorite football teams... Fight On! Go Blue!
