Practice Profile Page

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 This visit superseded any other experience elsewhere… Ever!!!!!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.
