John M Takla, DDS

I’ve been going to Dr. Takla for a few months now and just recently went in. He’s very kind and knows what he’s doing. I’ve never liked going to the dentist but when I started coming to Dr. Takla it’s been a different feeling. I actually look forward to going in and get my teeth checked out and cleaned. Dr. Takla is fast and gentle on the teeth. I’ve gone in during my lunch to get a cleaning and I’m in and out of there in less than an hour. I highly recommend Dr. Takla he has years of experience and is very trustworthy.

Dr. Takla is just the best. I’ve been with him now for 16 years. Very kind and gentle. There have been a few times when I’ve actually fallen asleep in the dentist chair.

Best dentist I have been to so far. Very gentle. Listens to his patients. Highly recommended.

Such a wonderful, knowledgeable, patient dentist. As good as they get. He is a superb dentist, always offering alternatives and ways to work with the patient. Always willing to suggest ways to stage treatments or work with insurance policies. His diagnoses are always right on the mark. He just really knows his field and has a wonderful practice because of it. Staff in his office are so willing to work with you, fit you in for an emergency, work with your schedule. They are so calm and reassuring and always happy to see their clients. I have been seeing Dr. Takla for almost fifteen years. Do yourself a favor and visit a dentist who can make the experience as pain-​free as absolutely possible.

I have been going to Dr. Takla for 15 years. Even when I moved to LA for 4 years, I flew back just to go to him. Any time someone compliments my smile or my teeth, I feel like I owe him and his brother (my orthodontist) the world.
They are always thorough and knowledgeable. I’ve never had an experience where I had felt pressured to take any action. They never make unnecessary suggestions; they aren’t looking to do a procedure just because it’s fun for them or they want to practice. I’ve heard horror stories from friends about their dentists and I just feel sorry that they don’t have the Taklas as their dental hygienists.
Their office is simple and doesn’t scream state-​of-​the art so if you are trying to find a LA-​type ‘dental spa’ you should go to LA. They have everything they need to do a perfect job.
15 years with no real cavities. For the first time, I just got a superficial cavity which Takla filled for me on the spot with no anesthetics. He told me that it would be unnecessary for him to drug me and so I trusted him and he was right!
I was once recommended by him to pull my molars as they may give me problems at the wrong time. I decided against his better judgment as I’m good at procrastinating. I ended up getting an infection in my molars while I was in England. When I came back to him to get them removed, he could have said «I told you so,’ but in his truly kind nature, he didn’t. :)
He is so professional and so personable. He remembers every member of my family that goes to him so well. He really makes you feel like you are the only patient he has. What a gem!
