PATIENT REVIEWS

This is my first attempt at writing a review so please excuse any and all errors (including spelling and punctuation, thank you). The review guidelines ask that friends not write reviews but since I started going to Mike as my dentist about 30 years ago and continued to see him because of his excellent service, care, professionalism and superior skills, and I now consider him a good friend I’m writing one anyway. Mike has treated me, my wife, my daughter and several friends over these many years and has never given us anything less than his best efforts. He seems to have a philosophy of giving the very newest and best available care while at the same time striving to minimizing any possible discomfort. His staff is friendly, helpful and obviously held to a higher than usual level of professionalism. I’d love to start mentioning their names but i’m afraid I’d leave one out and they all deserve praise and are a credit to his office. If you are looking for a really great dentist and have any fear at all, this is the place you want to go to.

I had the most amazing experience at Tuscany Dental today. Their entire staff is so friendly, informative and professional. This visit superseded any other experience elsewhere… Ever!!!!! The level of technology in the office allows for a better quality visit and most importantly, the staff just made me feel so welcomed and at home.

For the longest time, I hesitated to go to the dentist. I was then recommended to come here from a friend because she was so ecstatic about this place. I thought, what do I have to lose? My initial diagnostic and exam was bad. Since I’ve neglected to go to a dentist for so long in the past, I’ve already done some damage over time. The team really pulled together and offered me help to get me on the right track. Since then, I have been more diligent and with their advice, I was able to improve my oral health. And that’s a lot to say after smoking for nearly 30 years. Done with smoking, and time to take back my health one day at a time. Since several months ago, I have been in for regular visits here. The most recent being yesterday (January 16th, 2016). Why? The staff! Palig has been my hygienist, and just the best! So a big kudos to her! It’s never an easy job to do what she does, and she has been patient and simply awesome to me. Thank you, Palig! As long I have my teeth, I will always entrust it to the folks at Life Smile Dental! Thank you everyone! And my special thanks to Dr. Whitley, Goretti and the rest of the staff! You guys are awesome!

Life Smile has been my dentist for years. You wallk in, the friendly staff is ready to help you with their knowledge and expertise. You know your teeth are in the best hands. You leave knowing your teeth were done right the first time! Thank you for your excellent plus caring and service. I very highly recommend them for a great dental experience. Life Smile Dental in Tarzana!

Dr. Whitley has been my dentist for the past 2 years. He is an excellent dentist. He thoroughly explains everything that he is doing before he does it. I’ve been amazed that I’m never sore or have had any discomfort during or after any work I’ve had done. The staff is very friendly and always a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Life Smile Dental Center to anyone looking for a new dentist

I’ve been going to Dr Whitley for something like 15 years, and I’ve never had a bad experience. He’s an excellent dentist and a funny, personable guy. He’s always good about explaining the details of what he’s seeing, recommending, or doing, so you know what’s going on. I’ve never had the fear of dentists that some have, and I think it’s in large part due to Dr Whitley’s calm demeanor and gentle touch. He and all the dental hygienists there go out of their way to make you comfortable and to minimize any pain during your procedures. The office staff are also wonderful. Everyone there is very friendly, and they make you feel like family. I could not recommend Life Smile Dental Center, and especially Dr Whitley, more highly. If you are looking for a new dentist, look no further.

It has been such a delight to receive dental care from Life Smile Dental Center. The doctors and the staff are so professional and friendly. All patients are always welcomed by their warm Greetings. They offer comprehensive and advanced dental services and make it so convenient from making an appointment to their follow up phone calls. There is clear communication and they explain every procedure to ensure the patient is comfortable and informed, which makes me feel a part of the team regarding my dental care. My family and I feel perfectly taken care of after each visit. I Highly recommend their efficient care! Dr. Hengameh Ebrahimi DAOM, LAc

Unlike any other dental office that I have been to – and I have been too many over almost 60 years! I now have two very talented dentists who are always available to take care of my dental needs. Both Dr. Seastrom and Dr. Whitley are professional and highly skilled dentists. Almost as important as their abilities, both Drs. are compassionate and caring. In fact, the prevailing atmosphere of this entire office is friendly, compassionate and caring. I truly feel that I am cared for and valued beyond just being a patient. My father was a patient of Drs. Seastrom and Whitley for many years. I had the opportunity to accompany my father to several dental appointments as he aged. Without exception, my father always received exceptional dental care. When it was time for me to switch dentists, I became a patient of Life Smile Dental. It is reassuring to know that I have found a great dental office!

They’re so great! I hate going to the dentist but Dr. Whitley and everyone there are so nice. They make you feel really comfortable and do a great job. Last time I got something done there, he even called me that evening to ask if I was doing okay! I was so surprised. Definitely check them out, I promise you’ll love them.

Dr. Whitley and the entire staff at Life Smile Dental have been my dental office since about 1993. They are extremely attentive, friendly, and a very competent staff. Anytime I have a procedure, Dr. Whitley calls me that evening to inquire on how I am feeling. It makes me feel that I am just not a number in a file, but part of their “family” of patients. The dental hygienist, Jeanette, is not only very competent in what she does, but very friendly. Patty, the registered dental assistant, is extremely gentle and conscientious. When she is assisting Dr. Whitley, I feel she knows exactly what he is going to ask her for. My husband and I both agree that they are the finest and continue to go to Life Smile Dental even though they are not a provider of our medical plan.

I have been going to Life Smile Dental for approximately 15 years and everyone there is fantastic. They treat me very well and explain everything exceptionally well. I am happy with my teeth cleanings as well as the minor work they have done for me. They are as good as it gets. I can’t imagine going elsewhere.

I would like to say that first off this review is long over due. I have been going to life smile for almost my whole life. The staff is polite and very friendly, they are like a family. They are always concerned for your dental health and make sure you get what you need, when you need it, and are always on top of reminders. When it comes to having a teeth cleaning it is a breeze and they get you in and out while still providing the best quality care. My experience with Life Smile is always a Super one.

Dr. Whitley and team are friendly and very professional.  I’ve been going to them for 6 years now and have recommended them to numerous friends.  Honest and caring is what I wanted when I was searching around for dentists.  I found it at this location.  I tried 3 other dentists during 6 months as a trial test and this Doctor one my business.  Give them a try and see for yourself.

I have been coming here for almost 13 years now! I love Dr Seastrom and Dr Whitley. They are kind, well-priced, and great at what they do. Going to the dentist should be an enjoyable experience. To top it all off the staff is amazing! Even my kids are excited to come to the dentist. I highly recommend Life Smile Dental.

I have been a client for nearly 15 years, but I feel more like family here! I’m very particular about my smile and do my best to keep my teeth as close to perfect as possible. Life Smile Dental has the most professional, yet warm staff, from the office to the hygienists and dentists, Seastrom and Whitely. They have the latest technologies which makes preventing dental problems and mouth maintenance easy. The rooms and equipment are very clean, which is important to me. One thing that I must bring attention to is that I have NEVER had to wait…your appointments ALWAYS start on time! I could never downgrade to another dental office or dentist!

These are the best dentists that I’ve ever been to. I worked next door, and had a major emergency – crown came off, nerve was exposed, etc. They got me in immediately and moved their schedule around so that he could do an extensive and involved tooth removal, and then called and checked on me all weekend. There may be less expensive dentists, but I will never go to another dental office. The entire staff is friendly and helpful.

This is for Dr. Whitley, I saw him through my Invisalign treatment. His office is very accommodating and the staff are always pleasant. I never felt like he was too busy or the office overbooked. I felt he had an excellent understanding of Invisalign and the process and as a result my teeth came out fantastic. The office also feels more technologically advanced with their ability to use a painless laser in replace of drilling for some procedures.

A couple weeks ago I had a bad accident resulting in very painful cracked and chipped teeth.  I was referred to Life Smile by my boyfriends family swearing they have the best Dentist ever, Dr Seastrom.  The day I came in he was out of town, so I had the other amazing Dentist, Dr Whitley.  There was a lot of work to get done, appointments to be made, and thanks to this place it all got done fast!  Dr. Whitley, along with every single other staff member(I wish I knew their names because they know mine) made my entire experience as pain free and accommodating for me as possible.  They all remember me when I walk in and it’s just a very warm and friendly environment.  When you are with Life Smile you truly are treated like part of the family.  I actually like going to the dentist now 🙂

I’ve been seeing Dr. Robert D. Whitley since I was a preteen. I’ll do the math for you: Dr. Whitley has been my dentist for over 20 years. When I moved to NYC to attend college, I had to try to temporarily replace Dr. Whitley. It was a NIGHTMARE. No one, and I mean NO ONE came close to matching Dr. Whitley’s skills, competence and overall gentleness and kindness. Dr. Whitley saw me through my years in braces, my issues with discoloration once the braces were removed, cavities, fillings, and crowns, as well as later issues with my jaw and bite. He takes his time evaluating situations and ultimately makes wise, thorough decisions based on his years and years of experience and talent. Besides being an incredibly gifted dentist, Dr. Whitley is a lovely man.
