★★★★★

Great Staff!  Thank you!  I just have to say that Dr. Rios makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed.  She has a calming presence with a gentle touch.  From a basic cleaning to a deep cleaning to a tooth extraction (wisdom), I always feel 100% better and more importantly, healthier, after leaving her office.  Again, thank you Dr. Rios and your entire staff.

Excellent! I followed instructions–called from the parking lot to say I had arrived. I was told to please come to the door (wearing my mask), where I was greeted and interviewed briefly about my temperature, any recent symptions, etc. I presented the info sheet I had filled out, and I signed it. Then I went in for my dental cleaning. Hilary was very thorough but explained that she was not using the water spray or doing the dental brushing after the cleaning–because those two things might cause aerosolization of virus. Dr. Rios checked my teeth. Everything about this appointment was excellent.

Dr. Marina is the best dentist ever! Her hands are very light and she is very gentle. She explains everything she is doing and is very honest. I live in Texas but whenever in LA we visit her. Friendly staff.

★★★★★

Dr. Rios is professional, gentle and very sweet. She also has very small, deft hands which is the opposite of my last dentist. I was a new customer and from the initial phone call the staff was friendly and helpful. When I arrived, I only waited about five minutes after I finished my new client paperwork. They take xrays of your teeth and I saw everything on a pc screen right in front of my face so I knew she wasn’t trying to sell me on work I didn’t need. The cleaning was painless, and I am not joking. She kept saying, “this might be a little sensitive, you might feel this now,” but I never felt a thing and I didn’t have any soreness afterward. At the end of the cleaning, they gave me a list of things I could have done (all elective, such as a night guard for teeth grinding, deep cleaning of the gums, etc.) but never was there a sales pitch or pressure to buy. I really liked her. Also, she is very affordable! My initial exam with cleaning and x-rays was only $59.00.

★★★★★

Dr. Rios is not only a competent professional, but also a superb human being.  Her attention to detail only compares with her dedication to her patients.  One feels at home with her friendly and personable staff.  Convenient location and hours of service is just the icing on the cake so to speak.  I never miss an opportunity to recommend friends and relatives to marina Dental Care.

As writtenn by someone else: “A very high quality and fairly priced family neighborhood dental office that is a rarity these days. Truly a pleasure to go there knowing that the dental work will be first rate and I will be very fairly treated without worrying about someone trying to overcharge me or trying to sell expensive services that are not needed, … with Dr Marina Rios, who is genuinely caring and honest.”

★★★★★

I’ve been going to dentists for a long time, and Marina Dental Care is the best by far. The offices are kept clean, quiet and professional, and the staff is superb. I had a root canal, partial deep cleaning, and a crown in past year, and I can’t say enough about how positive my experiences have been. Dr. Rios is patient, kind, and smart. She takes time to explain everything she’s doing. Her staff is the same from Ester at the front desk to all the dental hygienists who work so diligently and who care about doing a good job. I was referred there by my daughter and after each visit I make it a point to thank her. The cost is reasonable and you get incredible care for your precious teeth.

★★★★★

Dr. Rios is an excellent dentist. She is very patient and caring. She takes the time that is needed with you. I feel very comfortable with all of my visits. She is also very good with children, my daughter actually likes going to the dentist because of Dr. Rios.  Marina Dental is also honest and reasonable with prices, not like other dentists that I have had experiences with (always out for the money). The staff is also great and always very pleasant.  I highly recommend Dr. Rios.(Marina Dental)

My husband and I love all the staff at Marina Dental Care. The doctors and all the staff display amazing customer service.  Esther, who works in the front office, is very patient and provides all the necessary information you need prior to your visit. Since COVID-19, they have followed all proper protocols and recommendations from LA County of Public Health when providing their services. Dr. Lee and Dr. Marina are one of the best dentist I’ve ever had. My husband and I finally found the perfect dental office and will continue to seek dental services from Marina Dental Care as long as they are in business. I highly recommend Dr. Marina and her team!

★★★★★

My experience at Marina Dental was as good as a dentist visit could be. I arrived a few minutes early to fill out paperwork and I did not have to wait long. It had been several years since my last cleaning and Dr. Ortega-Gonzalez did not give me a hard time about that, just recommended I come more often if possible. The cleaning was great, all the equipment was modern and they did not try to upsell me on things like whitening or braces. Overall, a quality experience and I have already scheduled my next appointment with them.

★★★★★

I love coming here for my dental cleaning with Dr Marina and her team! They are great! They are so good that even my kids love having their teeth cleaned every 6 months here.. They fight to see who will be seen first..  They are very patient with kids. I  this highly recommend this place!

★★★★★

5-star dental office and I should know, growing up the son of a dentist who was totally loved by his patients. Dr. Rios is the kindest, gentlest, most communicative dentist I have ever known. How often can you say that it’s a pleasure going to the dentist? I can now! The entire staff at Marina Dental Care is outstanding and caring. And they perform their jobs well in this clean, beautiful office. An actual 5-star dental office. Seriously.

My husband and I love Dr. Rios and Marina Dental Care. We moved from Michigan to Los Angeles 3 years ago, and I am so grateful that my husband found this place. My husband has never liked going to the dentist, and this is the first place that he has been to and actually wanted to return. The staff are incredibly friendly, gentle, and highly efficient. Hilary is wonderful and one of the best hygienists I have ever been to. She’s so attentive, careful, and thorough all at the same time. We really like Marina Dental Care and would highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Dr. Rios for the past two years and am a huge fan. During that time we’ve done cleanings, fillings and a crown, and the results have sll been great. Marina and her staff are totally professional, caring and attentive. The office is immaculate and cheery. All my visits have been so positive that I actually look forward to returning, which is more than most people can say about their dental care!

★★★★★

I have been going to Dr. Rios and her team for well over a decade and I have referred her to friends and family because she has always been kind and caring, not just with my teeth, but as a person as well. Dr. Rios is gentle and makes you feel comfortable in what could be annoying routine checks. I actually don’t mind going to the dentist because I know she’s taking good care of my smile. I plan on bringing my little one to her as soon as she can have her first dental check up. 🙂

I have been going to Marina Dental Care for a few years. Dr. Rios and her staff are caring, friendly, welcoming, and run a very clean office. Dr. Rios has done a few procedures on me with which I have been very satisfied. Hillary who is the hygienist is gentle and thorough and does a great job. I am very happy with my experience at Marina Dental Care.

First time appointment. Caring professions who explained what’s going on. Very technical set-up resulting in efficient Xray process and addition photos taken during the exam and cleaning. And to make it even easier – free parking. Ignore the large sign on the adjacent building that is another dental practice with similar name.

A very high quality and fairly priced family neighborhood dental office that is a rarity these days. Truly a pleasure to go there knowing that the dental work will be first rate and I will be very fairly treated without worrying about someone trying to overcharge me or trying to sell expensive services that are not needed. Plus their office is super neat and clean which gives you added confidence on just how professional and well run this dental practice is. I am a senior and have had many dentists over the years as I have moved around, from big offices to small offices, and this one is simply the best. I came out of my last appointment with a big smile on my face feeling and knowing that my regular dental review and cleaning were done right by an excellent hygienist at small office lead by a terrific dentist, Dr Marina Rios, who is genuinely caring and honest.

I think Dr. Rios is knowledgeable and gentle in her care over your mouth and teeth.  I refused to go to a dentist for years until a friend told me about Dr. Rios.  I like the fact that she is very personable!  I tell others who have not yet found a dentist they are comfortable with to visit her.

Marina Dental is the only place that I will go to get my dental work done. As someone who used to fear going to the dentist, I can honestly say it is now a pleasant experience. Dr. Rios is honest, kind, and has a gentle touch. All of the staff are so friendly and making appointments is quick and easy. After another dentist told me that I needed thousands of dollars in dental work, (THIRTEEN ROOT CANALS) I came to Dr. Rios for a second opinion. Thank God I did. Needless to say she saved me from being bamboozled. I have recommended her to all my friends and family. Visit Marina Dental, you won’t be disappointed!

Marina Dental is great. Everyone there is kind and caring. Dr. Rios does a great job making even difficult procedures much easier and less painful they would usually be. Highly recommended.

Every time I come here, I run into a dear friend. I love sharing the good news about a great dentist. The customer service here is excellent and I always leave feeling well taken care of, regardless of the extent of dental work that I received that day. My children are not scared to go the dentist. Dr. Rios is very kind to them and very patient with them.

Dr Rios is one of the most gentle dentist I have ever experienced. She is very knowledgable and very caring. She has taken care of my daughter since she was a child and always made her feel comfortable and gave good advice for great results. Dr Rios is a wonderful dentist that I fully recommend. My daughter is now 18 years of age and I want to thank Dr Rios for all the years of protecting her teeth so that now she can have a great smile. We are both very happy with service from Dr. Rios and her friendly staff.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR

Dr. Rios started her office with a single philosophy in mind; to provide the best possible dental care to her patients by putting their interest first. For last five years she has been able to accomplish that and provide her patients with an affordable dental care. Dr. Marina Rios has a special way of dealing with her patients. Because of her tender care, she is loved by her patients, adults and children alike. She has over 20 years of experience. Dr. Rios received her doctor's degree in 1988 at Nova Friburgo School of Dentistry in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After moving to the U.S., she got her license to practice in California in 1997. She has attended a number of courses offered by University of Pacific and UCLA, among other institutions. Her foreign education is an asset because it offers her a different perspective in Dentistry. Dr. Rios is very conservative in her approach and she puts her patients' interests first. Once you place yourself under her care you will notice the difference.
