Ryan Partnoff, DDS

Dr Partnoff and his staff are amazing!!! They are all professional and friendly. I’ve had bad experiences with other dentist. So when I came to see Dr Partnoff I was nervous but he made me feel so comfortable right away. He made my teeth beautiful and my insurance covered most of the work. You check with Rosemary (who is usually at the front desk) to see if they take your insurance. She’s the sweetest lady. I never had to wait, every visit was quick and painless. The office is located on a busy street in Pasadena. There is no parking lot but I always found street parking in front or across the street. I highly recommend him to everyone, both kids and adults. You won’t be disappointed.

I have been to many dentist and had horrible experiences. But this dentist office is so amazing. The whole staff is friendly and very professional and Dr. Partnoff oh my lord a side the fact that he is good looking he is the nicest person ever. He doesn’t try to take advantage of you he is very conservative. I have recommended so many of my co workers and my whole family goes to him. #1 in my list.

At the risk of sounding like a «copycat» reviewer, I want to add my praise to Dr. Partnoff and his staff for coming through for me when I needed help! I was a patient of the wonderful Dr. Grifka and worried that I might have to go elsewhere when he retired. He «gifted» us with a very talented and professional dentist whose skills belie his youth. Dr. Partnoff always manages to squeeze me into his schedule when an emergency arises and always takes the time to explain whatever procedures and/​or treatments will be needed. Today I went in to have a crown reset. He got me in on short notice, took care of the problem and even helped with the insurance costs. I don’t think I received any «special treatment». This is how he and his staff treat all their patients, and that’s why we keep coming back. Five stars for Dr. P!

While on vacation in Pasadena I experienced an excruciating toothache that needed immediate attention. Dr Ryan Partnoff was able to squeeze me in for an initial evaluation. He was very friendly and kind as was his very competent staff. He did a great job in alleviating the pain and clearing up an infection. He followed this up with a root canal and rebuilt my tooth so that I could continue on my vacation and wait comfortably for the final necessary work when I returned home. If I were staying in Pasadena, I most certainly would have had Dr Partnoff do the final work. I was extremely pleased with his professionalism, kindness and competence.

I might know one person who actually enjoys going to the dentist, that person is not me, but thanks to Dr. Partnoff and the rest of his staff, I don’t dread it… which is big for me. I’ve been going to this dental office since I was a kid and although I never looked forward to dental work, I always looked forward to seeing the previous dentist, Dr. Grifka and his wonderful staff. Every visit was like a mini family reunion. Dr. Grifka entrusted Dr. Partnoff to fill his shoes, and he absolutely has. I look forward to seeing everyone at the office and even enjoy their reminder phone calls. They are all so genuine, friendly and helpful. Dr. Partnoff is kind, knowledgeable, trustworthy and gentle and really takes time to explain procedures and options. The office is nice, small, clean and they have awesome video glasses with a decent selection of movies to distract you from the drilling if you should need a cavity filled. I have sent a couple of friends their way and they have been very happy as well. I have heard quite a few dental horror stories from friends of mine who’ve tried random dentists. I feel very fortunate to have a good one, with a great team!

When Dr. Berger and Dr. Grifka retired and sold their dental practice to Dr. Ryan Partnoff, we decided that if these 2 excellent dentists thought we’d be in good hands we could trust their judgment. That has certainly proven to be true. Not only is Dr. Partnoff a graduate of one of the top dental schools and a very skilled dentist, he also is a kind and caring person. I have a lot of enamel wear which makes my teeth very sensitive, so I’m grateful for Dr. Partnoff”s gentle touch. He always explains what he thinks should be done and why, and then lets me make whatever decision makes sense for me. For anyone who has been turned off by a pushy dentist trying to convince you that you need to spend thousands of dollars on dental work, Dr. Partnoff will be a refreshing change. My fiancé doesn’t write reviews on Unilocal,but he wants me to add that he has total confidence in Dr. Partnoff having had some extensive dental work done by him during the past year.
The reason I decided to log in and write this review is because of something that happened a few days ago. On the Thursday evening before Memorial Day weekend a big piece of bonding broke off a tooth that is very visible when I talk and/​or smile. We had plans to get together with friends and I didn’t want to wait till after the long weekend to get it fixed. Dr. Partnoff”s practice is usually closed on Fridays, so I called the emergency number hoping that someone would be covering for him that could fix my tooth. Dr. Partnoff called me back right away and said he’d meet me the next morning. When I arrived, he had his baby daughter with him, explaining that he had no back up day care, and she played quietly while he did the work without an assistant. Thanks to him I was able to enjoy the holiday weekend.
I happen to know that Dr. Partnoff has also participated in health care forums where medical and dental care are provided to low income folks with no insurance. That’s further proof of what a caring person he is.
If you need a great dentist, call Dr. Partnoff. You’ll be in good hands!

I’ve been coming to this office my entire life. First with Dr. Grifka up until he retired (he was amazing and so friendly, made me want to be a dentist at 10, lol). Now my family and I see Dr. Partnoff. After seeing Dr. Grifka for years, I didn’t think another dentist could rival his gentleness or manner when working on teeth. Dr Partnoff definitely does! Amazing dentist, gentle, and very courteous. And the staff makes you feel like family. I love that the same faces who were there when I was a kid are the same ones I see now and introduce my daughter too. You will never be disappointed here!

The receptionists, assistant, hygienist, and Dr. Partnoff himself were all friendly and professional. Knowing that I’m leaving the country, the doctor even sent me an e-​mail detailing what needs to be done in my local dental clinic. Check it out, you’ll like Ryan if not also the rest of his team.

I love Dr Partnoff. I actually drive from Long Beach to see him. I am sure i pass hundreds of great dentists on the way, but I wouldn’t change even if I got a free cleaning. Love the staff too!

I am writing to express my deep appreciation for the privilege of being a patient in Dr. Ryan Partnoff’s Dental practice. I can’t imagine a single patient ever leaving his office and not feeling the same compelling urge to write a thank-​you note.
There isn’t a single detail about his practice that doesn’t personify customer service. The staff in the clinic is professional, friendly and helpful. The waiting area is very welcoming and comfortable.
Treatment rooms are serene and comfortable with large open windows that invite patients to look out onto the cheerful sunshine and the blue sky. And the equipment is state-​of-​the-​art which gives patients a sense of confidence in his care.
The most valuable asset of the practice is, by far, Dr. Partnoff and his staff. Everyone is kind, courteous and considerate. Rosie”s bright smile and warm ‘hello’ greets patients as we walk through the front door. And I especially appreciate that she is sensitive to the fact that I don’t get around easily and she is always ready to assist without my even asking her to do so.
Olga and Melanie are always friendly and attentive. They explain what the plans are for the visit in advance of the actual event and they always make sure I don’t have any questions or concerns. Dr. Parnoff also takes time to explain what needs to be done and why, in easy-​to-​understand terms. He speaks slowly and softly and his entire demeanor puts me at ease. He makes me feel as if I am the most important person in his day.
As a healthcare professional, I have tremendous admiration and respect for the incredible manner in which the practice is run and managed. As a patient, I have deep appreciation for the thoughtfulness and attention to detail that the staff consistently offers. Dr. Partnoff’s commitment to excellence is evident in everything he does. I am blessed to have him as my dentist.

Our family has been going to this dentist office for over 25 years!
First Dr. Grifka (retired) and now Dr. Partnoff.
Our children don’t mind going to the dentist… that speaks volumes!
Great office staff and assistance too! Friendly and warm. Great dental work! We would highly recommend Dr. Partnoff and his staff.

I’m not a wuss, I just didn’t like going to the dentist. If all the poking, proding, and drilling wasn’t enough to make me cry, the bill sure was.
Luckily, my anti-​dentist days are now over. I can’t say that I rejoice in song and dance when I head into Dr. Partnoff’s office, but I can say that I always leave with a smile. And isn’t that the point of going to the dentist in the first place? To show off those pearly whites?
So here are the reasons why Dr. Partnoff’s office made me smile:
1. I got a $ 25 gift card to my place of choice. I picked target. I can get all life’s essentials (like toilet paper and a new TV) there.
2. They translated all the insurance talk for me to make sure that I was covered.
3. The dentist is mighty cute.* Enough said.
4. They explained everything to me in non-​dental terms and didn’t push me to do anything unnecessary.
5. The office was so clean, I’d use my toothbrush even if it fell on the floor in here. No joke.
6. They have cool video glasses.
7. I didn’t feel any pain. In fact, at one point I pinched myself just to check and see if my nerves were still alive. Don’t worry. They were.
8. The office temperature was very pleasant. (I forgot a sweater that morning but was still super comfy.)
9. The front desk lady told me a funny joke. And it really made me LOL.
And last but not least, they made me smile because:
10. They gave me my favorite kind of toothpaste. Colgate. Score!
