Complete Family Dentistry

Had a tooth extracted yesterday needless to say I was completely terrified. The staff made sure to keep me calm and talk me through everything and kept reassuring me that everything was going to be fine. Dr. Thanki is such a terrific dentist that makes you feel so comfortable in the most unpleasant situations. He even called me this morning personally to check up on me. By far the best dental practice I have ever been to.

Best dentist in the world! We have seen Dr Thanki after years of looking for the right(caring, sensitive) dentist. The work is NEVER unnecessary and always very fair. He works to help you find solutions and calls you back(himself) as quickly as possible. I cannot say enough how impressed we are with his staff. They ARE the best. You will be treated with respect and given the best possible care for dental and orthodontics. Dr Thanki is extremely knowledgeable and careful with each case.

The atmosphere at Dr. Thanki's office is very nice. The staff is knowledgeable of every procedure and aid you in taking care of your teeth at home properly. Doctor Thanki make sure that you're comfortable and explains the process to a "t". I don't like going to the dentist, but Dr. Thanki and his staff makes me feel relaxed, therefore making my visit a good one everytime.

Undoubtedly the best dentist! I agree with other users....staff is amazing, office is comfortable, Dr. Thanki understands his patients and meets our dental needs without unnecessary work. His work is outstanding! We have done dental and ortho work with him, and we are in the process of bringing all of our children to his office as well. HIGHLY recommend!

Dr. Thanki is a compassionate and charismatic dentist. He is very competent and knows what he is doing in all areas of dental practice from periodontal disease to ortho treatment. He even calls to check on his patients after oral surgery

For the first time in my life, I left the dentist office feeling confident. I'm happy I chose Dr. Thanki's office to get me on the path of improving my smile and confidence.

They were all wonderful. Would recommend for anybody. I had an emergency and they took me in immediately and helped me. My experience was great

I went to Dr. Thanki thrice. I was referred to Thanki’s office when I moved to LA by my boyfriend, now husband. Here’s what I loved about the office:
1. The front desk associate, Kathryn, was very sweet, prompt to help with whatever I needed, and scheduling my family of 4 to get exams (not an easy feat with our schedules).
2. Dr. Thanki’s dental assistant was tender-hearted, thorough with answering questions, and gave an over-all relaxing and calming experience.
3. Dr. Thanki called me back personally the first time. He took us back to his office to introduce himself and get to know us. Great first impression.

I really thought I had found my forever dentist. Here’s why I will not be back, and why my husband and I have decided to find a new dentist:

Let me start by saying that I had a phobia of oral shots as a teen after I received a shot, having no anesthetic applied prior to. I went to Dr. Thanki's office for 5 fillings, meaning 3 shots. I was nervous the entire morning prior to the appt. Dr. Thanki did the first shot, but the second shot, beforehand, I noticed my mouth was not numb, and I could feel everything. I let a “cuss word” out (NOT directed towards any of the staff, it just hurt), but didn’t move or say it aggressively. Dr. Thanki turned off his light, mumbled something about not accepting that language in his practice, and told me I could find a new one. He walked out of the room. His dental assistant let me know that she was going to give me some time to relax, but did a great job of comforting me and reassuring me. Thanki made it seem like I was physically aggressive and a safety threat. I tried to explain that I was very sorry, and did not mean to say it, but he wasn’t having it. My husband was in the next room, waiting for his procedure, and heard what was going on. He came over to comfort me and I filled him in (I’m trying not to cry, feeling like a horrible person as this has never happened before, feeling like I’m a toddler in time-out, essentially). Dr. Thanki comes in and tells me he thinks I need to take a personal day to work on my anxiety. I explain that I already am handling it (I had to stop anxiety meds due to health reasons). Then he recommended total sedation…. EXCUSE ME? I said one bad word, was not aggressive, etc. I explained that I was nervous about the shots, and after we get through that I will be fine. I assure him that won’t be necessary, but Thanki is still insisting. He then bypassed my opinion, and asks my husband, “Any suggestions?” My husband told him if I was feeling okay, then I’m okay. So we go ahead and start over. I again apologize over and over, and Thanki explained why he acted like that. Did the shots again, and I was fine (as promised). He then tells me I need to listen to my music on my phone. I tell him that not hearing things makes things worse, so I would prefer not to. That was unacceptable to him. He put on headphones to a local classic rock station (HATE), but the volume was so low I could still hear everything (THANK GOD). I get through half of the fillings, and then tell him that I can’t hear the music, so can we have the headphones removed? Nope. He turned the volume up so I could hear it. I basically finished the remainder of the procedure unhappily listening to music I hate, when I would have been fine without music (as I had heard most of the procedure anyways). My opinion was not acknowledged. I went home and cried the rest of the day. I was so upset, and felt dehumanized. If he can’t handle my anxiety over shots, he has absolutely no business working on my special-needs child, or other two family members. My husband, who had been in the other room getting periodontal cleaning, filled me in when I picked him up that Dr. Thanki had told him let me know how sorry he was, and said he just wanted me to have a good experience. I understand I should have kept the swear word to myself and selected a different one, but his reaction was completely over the top, and asking my husband to speak for me seemed misogynist. I wont return.

Professional and courteous staff. I never have to wait long to be seen. Dr. Thanki is very kind and personable.

Amazing. I love to smile and the experience there is just wonder. Thanks guys for giving me a smile out of this world. Love you all. I will recommend you all to others.
