PATIENT REVIEWS

I have been a dental patient for approximately 10 years. At first I was suspicious. That is who I am. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed being a patient and have found Dr. Bimbli to be straight forward in his dealings with me. Recently, I did a short stray to another dentist with the thought that I could have more cleanings and then I went back home. (two insurance policies) The other dentist was a joke. In my opinion and experiences the entire office staff has been very professional and attentive. They have not tried to over or upsale dental procedures to me. For years I had expressed interest in fixing a small “gap” in my front teeth. (if you have one that is fine.) At no time did they try to push this procedure on me. When I noticed the problem was not going to get better, I decided to move forward. I was given an extremely fair price. I went with the offer. Invisalign. I am so happy that I went forward. I feel that my “stock” has gone up! I know no Dentist can win them all but this one has won with me.

I had a wonderful experience here. The staff are friendly and made me feel comfortable. I was seen promptly each appointment time. They did not try to push any unnecessary dental work on me. I am very satisfied with my cleaning done by the hygienist. Glad I found a dentist I can trust!

Super clean facility. Professional and friendly staff. Dr Bimbli spent so much time with me and explained every detail and option possible in regards to my dental dilemma. I went to him as a 3rd opinion believing that I needed 2 implants according to 2 other Dr’s. Well fortunately I am now going to have a bridge instead. Dr Bimbli was the only one that was honest enough to tell me that I most likely would not have enough bone even after grafting to guarantee the implants would be a success due to my personal circumstances . He could easily have agreed to take a chance by recommending the implants and make more money. However, that is not what’s most important to him. He has given me a very affordable treatment plan that I am sincerely grateful for. I know I’m in good hands when my teeth are more important than money! Laura S

Dr Bimbli is a wonderful dentist. I had a extremely painful cavity fix here. The job took it least a totally of 8 hours. He is one of the best dentist I have ever been to. He is Very kind, patient, caring and does a fast and efficient job. Thank you dr and the assistants for taking care of me!

This place is above 5stars, we went there with a nervous patient and unsure if the staff would be understanding. We were blown away by the warm greetings from the moment we walked in regards to the receptionist to the staff to the Amazing Dentists. They explained everything in detail and didn’t rush us as and made the entire experience perfect. The staff gave us good news , NO CAVITIES ,ALL THAT WAS NEEDED WAS A GOOD CLEANING. The cleaning felt the best after smooth and fresh. To sum it up, we had no reason to be nervous coming to these guys and gals.

Dr. Bimbli’s office had been seeing our family now for around 15 years! They’ve taken care of us from baby teeth to wisdom teeth and are very flexible on making and (sometimes) having to change an appointment. It’s nice to feel like family and have someone you can trust when it comes to dental care 🙂

I would like to compliment the office of Dr. Nicolin Bimli. Recently, I returned to Dr. Bimli’s office for dental work, after a 4 year absence. Frankly, I couldn’t afford to see a dentist and I only had insurance that covered the Exam and X-rays. Now that I couldn’t wait, I remembered Dr. Bimli who is a great dentist and a fine human being. I reconnected with his office even though my “GUARDIAN ANGEL DENTIST” Dr. Eileen Para was no longer there. Dr. Para was superb . However, after my recent experience with Dr. Bimli’s office I am very happy that I returned to the Hawthorne Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, I’m very pleased with Dr. Rastogi and Dr. Bennett (She’s a Sweetheart). His office staff is wonderful and people like Patty and Juan make you feel like it’s a family setting instead of “Business as Usual”. Phil Fixico

I have been coming to this dentist office for years! I have recommended many people to this dental office based on the professional level of the staff. What I obsoletely love is how the two ladies (Patty & Isabell) in the front office give me the detail information of my dental insurance and what I need to get done. The doctors are always constantly reassuring that you are not in pain. I highly tell people to go… at least for a quick check-up and you will LOVE the service!

If i could give this dentist 12 stars I would. He is amazing,kind gentle,polite and not greedy!!! I have been coming to him since about 1996. initially i drove 10 miles to be seen at his office but in 2006 I moved 60 miles northeast and 5 freeways away but i and my large family all drive 60 miles to see ONLY DR Bimbli. He does wonderful work and is honest. He tells you up front what work can wait and what will become a problem soon so you can make your own decisions about the order of the work and what you can afford . His copays are by far the most reasonable of any dentist ive ever been to . He did my daughters veneers 10 years ago and she still looks stunning and gets compliments on her teeth all the time. Thre have been no problems with her veneers all of these years. He has done all types of dental work on me and my family including difficult extractions of broken teeth,root canals and IMPLANTS. He transformed my smile from a stained ,wide-gapped-tooth, low class looking mess to a pretty,normal, white smile with no grey gums at the top like my old dentist did

Long over due review as I like yelp and use yelp often. Me and my family have been coming to dr Bimbli for 7 years now. That alone tells you how great is care is been to us. Today we are here for one of George follow up treatments . George was on car accident Where he suffered teeth damage .. we directly from ER of the hospital headed to his office where everyone accepted us with great care. My son Ended up with 1tooth knocked out completely and 1 half broken from the accident and some other damage in his mouth and Dr.Bimbli spent 4 hrs making sure that George was well medicated and his teeth looked almost like nothing had happened when we left his office. The staff of dentists and assistants are extremely fast and efficient at what they do. The team in the office works well in getting you inside and checked up as quickly as they can. George teeth will be ongoing treatment but we are sure one day he will be fully recovered and his smile will be even better than before… We trust and believe in care we get from Dr. Bimbli.

Great dentists! they can do pretty much anything and they utilize the latest technology in dental procedures. Plus prices are fair. They stay current on modern/cutting edge dental techniques and to prove it their wall in the waiting room is filled with extra certificates and training they received in recent years.

Dr. Bimbli’s office is an example of how all dental practitioners should conduct business. He and his staff do great work, but just as important is they are honest and dont try to rip you off. Isabelle works with you and your insurance company so you pay as little out of pocket as possible. I’m very glad I was recommended Dr. Bimbli and his team!

Well, its been 16 years since I’ve been a patient here, too bad I had to move out of state. I’ve been very thankful to Dr. Bimbli for taking care of me all this years. I wish I could find a Doctor/Dentist like you. Thanks to Daria for the excellent job you did today, Cynthia who took care of me when I come monthly for my braces and everyone that works there, I forgot all the names. I do recommend them highly, I wouldn’t stay with this dentist for so many years if they aren’t outstanding, caring, knowledgeable, and best of all very professional.

dr Bimbli has been my family dentist for more than 15 years. He never hurts my family. His prices are affordable and reasonable. Staff is courteous and friendly. They are our dream dentist.. In 2006 I moved 60 miles away and I continue to come here.i have never gone to another dentist since finding him. He has done my large family’s complete dental care including beautiful crowns restorations,partials veneers and today im here for a bonefgraft to prepare for a dental implant. Their scheduleing is amazing and it always feels like you are a VIP. Dr bimbli is gentle and kind NEVER harsh or rough like the many other dentists ive encountered over the years. He is the SouthBays best kept secret.I will never switch to another dentist.

He did two difficult fillings for me, and I was amazed at how he was able to make and keep my mouth numb with no epinephrine (I cannot take it) for this long procedure. It was a completely pain free experience. He obviously has superior technique and skills. I’m so happy he has taken over the practice!

Just moved in the area and I had my 1st appointment today. I really appreciated how Dr. Bimbli took the time to explain what he was looking at (x-rays and all that). I’m happy to have found a dentist who takes genuine interest in communicating with the patient.

Great place. The doctors and staff are good people. After a bad experience with my past two doctors this place seems like heaven. They work with you and your insurance not trying to rob you blind. They also work on you with the less amount of pain. You have to care to do the job and for my family we believe they do. Thanks to my friend who referred us.

From the receptionist that greets you with a smile, to the dental staff, and the dentist, you are made to feel like you will be well taken care of.  My husband, and I, are finally fill like we are in great hands.  They are always on schedule with your appointment, and explains everything up front from start to finish before doing work.

I have been going to Dr. Bimbli’s for almost 5 years and I tell you I fear the day I would move too far from them because I don’t know if I can find another dental practice as good as his! Everyone single one of their staff members is highly professional, kind and eager to help. First and foremost the people at the front desk, Patty and especially Isabell are superb! Isabell has been working with me and my family all these years and I tell you she is very considerate of your time and money! When I was still attending UCLA, she made sure to consider my college-life schedule when helping me make appointments taking into account the fact that I would have to drive back home or I’ll only be back home for a short amount of time. She would always try to make sure that everything I would need to get done will be accomplished within a day or so. Most of the time this allowed me to get my cleaning and if needed get some fillings done. I really appreciate also the time she takes to explain to me the procedures and the insurance side of things. She is very patient and definitely answers all my questions (post-grad life, need to learn all these things now xD adulting!!) leaving me completely satisfied and reassured and she always tells me if I have any questions to feel free to call her 🙂 I love that they definitely try to help you save money! Recommending how to go about things when it comes to insurance!!!!!! So never hesitate to ask questions! All the doctors, dental hygienists and staff always make sure you are comfortable. I love that they go above and beyond and that they really care for their patients. I remember one time one of the female hygienists took a little extra time to make sure my teeth are completely cleaned (I swear I flossed more after that!). One of the male hygienists or dentist or assistant (sorry I don’t know D;) always makes me laugh and always makes sure I feel comfortable!! But what really compelled me to finally write a review for this place is how much care and concern Dr. Bimbli showed me when I finally agreed to get my wisdom teeth extracted. He has been explaining the procedure to during each visit and after 4 years of trying to delay the procedure as much as possible, I could no longer do so since these bad boys were starting to say hello to the world (and they were punching, pinching and just being plain mean). I delayed my procedure because I was traumatized by my friend’s wisdom teeth extraction experience from another dentist. When my friend got his wisdoms pulled he bled a lot and took a very long time to heal! On the day of my extraction, I was slightly nervous both because of the pain and the impending post-op experience. I even asked Isabell if it would be possible to order my medications ASAP, so I can just go to the pharmacy to pick it up, she explained to me that certain meds she can order ahead for me while others I would have to go in person for identification check, but told me she would double check with Dr. Bimbli before the procedure (which she did). When Dr. Bimbli came in, he gave me a thorough run down of what is going to happen and may happen after the extraction. He explained everything as nicely and as reassuringly as possible, whether he does this to all of his patients or remembers that I have been avoiding this procedure as much as possible his calmness and confidence in his ability to perform this procedure helped calm me down and feel that I was in the best hands possible! Even during the extraction, he made sure I was comfortable and was attentive to any signs that I was in pain. It was funny when you are under so much anesthesia you really don’t know what is happening in the numbed areas! I was clenching my hands together so hard (mainly due to fear not really due to pain) that he noticed and told me I can calm my hands since he already took out the tooth. After the first tooth was out the rest were pretty much a breeze (especially the top ones). When the extraction was done he even asked me if I wanted normal stitches or the ones that dissolve, telling me that the normal ones hold better but if I live far the dissolvable ones were a better option if I don’t want to come back for them to remove it, so living close and wanting them to check the healing progress I asked for the normal ones. Once the procedure was done, he made sure I understood the medications he was prescribing and how to take care of the wounds. A week later and ALL IS GOOD!!!! 😀 My wounds healed up nicely and I wasn’t under a lot of pain at all! Dr. Bimbli explained that he tries his best to make sure that he only makes small incisions, unlike other dentists who may try to make larger holes to make the extraction easier the consequence being a long healing process and a lot more long-term pain. Overall Thank you!! Tip: When using the yelp voucher, bring a print-out to make the process easier 🙂 They are new with this system and are still learning but they will still honor it!
