Laura Manuel, DDS

Absolutely HAPPY camper here !!!
Today was my 3 visit to Dr Laura’s office
My first thought was super friendly and really clean (good signs). Her front seat staff is professional and helpful answering many questions, making sure I felt safe and welcome. (relaxing waiting area)
The only thing I noticed was that every client received the same level of care .
I’ve gotten my teeth cleaned twice before here and enjoyed the care every time .
Today was my first time getting some intense work done and DR Laura and her staff had me so relaxed and taken care of. I didn’t feel a thing. Her patience and love for her craft was felt in everyone little application to my teeth. She has a gentle but intention touch. I knew I was in good handles.
I am grateful to a great team of professionals this is Dr Laura team…
I look forward to our next visit ! (Weird that I enjoy the Dentist)
You will too !!!

I’ve been coming to Dr. Manuel for years! It’s always a feeling of warmth and familiarity. Today I was introduced to Dr. Will Grella. He is the new associate and let me tell you just as brilliant and talented as Dr. Laura! Thank you for extending your dental family and insuring that all your patients are taken care of in the best possible way! I would refer and refer to this practice and both Doctor’s always!

Worst dentist I’ve ever been to, staff was horrible, hygienist cleaned my teeth and the next I felt like I got punched in the mouth. They also told me that my insurance would cover everything, came to find out it didn’t after the fact and got stuck with a huge bill. I will never go back there.

Best, best dentist you can find! Competent, dedicated, sweet, fun crew, never had happier teeth. Highly recommended for all your dental needs!

I found Dr. Laura Manuel when my dentist of 20 years retired. I reluctantly looked for another Dr. On Unilocal.You would think it’s easy to find a good one, WRONG! From the moment I called their office, I felt like I was home. The staff is beyond friendly, they know you by name. I barely know them all yet. Had a great cleaning with the nicest hygenist (sorry don’t her name).
Frankly I was not comfortable with so much attention. I know, crazy right? They moisturize your lips, they give you blankets, even toothbrushes with built in tooth paste. I’m getting spoiled here. Then there’s Dr. Manuel. Man, I love her. She’s so inviting, accomodating, funny, and talented. Even my husband who is deathly scared of dentistry gave her two thumbs up. They are super sensitive to his fear, and made it such a pleasant experience. She actually wants to know you, your family, along with your dental health. After my husband’s visit, Dr. Manuel herself called my husband to make sure that he was ok. Who does that… that’s right, Dr. Manuel!!! I loved my previous dentist for 20 years, but I’m so thankful I found her. Thanks fellow Unilocalers! I hope you check her out, she’s amazing!!!

Dr. Laura and her team are amazing! This is the best dentist office I have ever been to! The entire staff is so friendly and kind and always go above and beyond for their patients. They also perform the best cleaning I’ve ever had — very thorough. And they have you in and out in a jiffy! Never had to wait more than 5 minutes. Love them!

Only the best dentist I ever had. She did my invisilign. Completely satisfied. The entire staff is very professional, attentive and up on their dentistry knowledge. I actually LOVE going to the dentist.

I have been a patient of Dr. Manuel for a few years now and I would refer any loved on to this office. The staff are always professional and they run an efficient system. I have had many dentists and have experienced other competent services and also have had dental traumas (burns from chemicals, dry socket) and it has been hard for me to find someone I trust to take care of my dental needs. I am so relieved to have found this office. They are very personable and you feel welcomed each time.

This is one of the best dentist experiences I have had in my life. Everyone at Dr. Manuel’s office is very friendly and knowledgeable. This was my first visit here and I am happy to announce that this will be my dentist as long as I live in LA. I felt safe the whole time and very well treated.
I also got a nice little «goodie-​bag» with samples for my specific needs.
Will recommend!

Are you looking for a dentist where you feel cared for and without that stereotypical fear of going to the dentist? This is the place. Dr. Laura and her staff are extremely pleasant and professional. They use modern technology to make the X-​rays and cleaning as comfortable as possible. They are the rockstars of dentistry, so you do need to make your appointments well in advance, but it is worth it for the care you will receive.

The staff is well organized and friendly. Haven’t been to the dentist in years and I had a great experience here. Laura was so gentle with me and explained everything before laying a tool in my mouth. Highly recommended.

I don’t even know where to begin with my review of Dr. Manuel and her team other than to say that I absolutely ADORE them.
I needed an extensive amount of dental work when I relocated to Long Beach, and I’m so incredibly fortunate that my co-​worker recommended Dr. Manuels’ office. My co-​worker boasted about how amazing they are, but based on prior dental experiences, I was skeptical. In previous dental experiences, I was treated like a number, shamed by the doctors about my teeth, and the dentists always tried to upsell me a new product. I showed up to Dr. Manuels’ office feeling nervous and embarrassed, but I was immediately put at ease. Besides the fact that her office is beautiful and accommodating, each member of her team possesses a warm, friendly demeanor, and they all have a great sense of humor.
Dr. Manuel and her team are absolute professionals, dedicated to performing the absolute highest quality work, while also establishing relationships with their patients. I love that they are perfectionists and they never let me settle for anything less than their very best work. They demonstrate integrity, compassion, and regardless of what I was in for during each visit, I never dreaded going. Who knew going to the dentist could be so damn pleasant?! :)
I’d gone through the majority of my life never being able to smile, or covering my mouth when I did. After my dental work, I had to teach myself how to smile without covering it. With my new smile also came a newfound confidence that I attribute to their amazing work. Thank you Dr. Manuel and your team, you have undoubtedly changed my life. I am forever grateful.

This whole office is wonderful. I came in very timid about my dental work– the entire team was nothing but accommodating.
The office is pristine and everyone is very professional. They have great dental plans that show you your path, diagrams, etc. They are great at reminding you of your appointments as well (text, email, and phone call).
I recently had to get some cavities filled and the experience (which is usually horrifying to me) was nothing but pleasant. The team was talking me through the whole procedure and were very sweet.
Dr. Manuel referred me to another doctor for my wisdom teeth removal and he was wonderful as well!
I love Dr. Manuel and her entire team!

Not only is Dr. Laura Manuel an outstanding dentist, she’s an outstanding person. Too much to go into but she has such compassion and integrity.
I also appreciate that she never tries to do dental work needlessly. If you think this an atribute that is no big deal, you should talk to my friend who went to see a «discount» dentist and was told she had seven cavitities ! She’d never had a cavity in her life and now seven. hmmmmm really?
That will never, yes never, happen if you see Dr. Manuel

I don’t know why this is listed as Manuel Laura… Her name is Laura Manuel.
This is the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Manuel is really down to earth and easy to talk to, as is the rest of the staff. Everyone is very sweet and I like that all of the dental stations seem more open. Basically instead of separate rooms, there are partitions separating each chair. This may not be everyone’s cup of tea if they want total privacy, but I personally really love it.
Dr. Manuel and all her staff is amazing and I am so glad I was referred to her by my coworkers.

I have been a Naples Dental Care patient my entire life. Growing up, Dr. Lander was my only dentist. He and his staff were always friendly and professional and made my trips to the dentist as painless and stress-​free as possible.
I remember several years ago when I heard that another dentist was going to be working with Dr. Lander and eventually taking over the practice. I didn’t know who this new dentist was, but I was instantly trepidatious. I tend to fear any kind of change and knowing that some stranger might one day be sticking needles in my gums pretty much terrified me.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Manuel knows how off-​base my terror was. Dr. Manuel is every bit as nice as Dr. Lander. She and her entire staff are so friendly but professional, I found myself relaxed even when faced with a possible root canal. (Luckily, the crown Dr. Manuel applied solved my problem and I avoided anything more serious!)
I am SUCH a fan of Dr. Manuel that I continue to see her even though my dental insurance doesn’t cover my visits. (Crappy HMO Dental plan!!) The treatment I receive is WELL worth the cost. I can’t recommend her enough!

Best dental experience I’ve ever had. I’ve had some horrible dentists in the past and had alot work done on my teeth, so needless to say I was pretty scared of the Dentist. I came in to Dr. Manuel’s office for a toothache since the office is closest to my house (and all the great reviews on Unilocal); stayed for the excellence in the quality of work and service. All the staff are super friendly, caring, and attentive. Dr. Manuel walks me through each step of the procedure so there are no surprises and takes great care in ensuring my comfort. Now, I can almost look forward to going to the dentist… almost :).

Dr Manuels office is so easy going and friendly. I have a large family (6 kids). We have had over the years a lot of diverse work on our teeth and Dr. Manuel and her office staff make it all possible, and also make it so none of the family is ever reluctant to go. Thank you Dr Manuel!

Another Unilocal review I am catching up on, and just have to say that Dr. Manuel is by far the very BEST dentist I have EVER been to. The staff is on top of everything, helpful, and kind, on the ball all the way. the place is clean as can be and there have been some dentist’s office I have literally gotten out of the chair and left due to the filth of the office or some I have never returned to simply because the dental assistant kept cross contaminating everything… Just because they have a license on the wall doesn’t always mean the care or are even clean
Dr. Manuel and the staff there never cease to continuously impress me. I always feel at ease and relaxed knowing my teeth are in good hands.

Hands down. The BEST dentist I’ve ever been to.
That’s saying a lot. I’ve had my teeth drilled, pulled, capped, and other unmentionable cruelty happened to them — and I can’t recall ever having a bad experience here.
Dr. Manuel is professional, attentive, and efficient. The office is small and intimate, which is very welcoming. Not only is it her, but the entire staff are the same way — gentle, attentive, and very very good at what they do.
Can’t say enough good stuff about this place. :0) I especially dig the tranquil scenery panel that’s placed above each of the examination chairs so that when you’re looking up, you’re not staring at a piece of drop-​ceiling. haha
