Prepsky Devoree D, DMD

I moved to LA in 2013 and, much to my surprise, although I had religiously seen my so-​called «rock star» Boston-​based dentist at least once a year for 25+ years, I discovered that I needed extensive work including 2 extractions, a root canal, 9 crowns and 13 cavities. I did not believe the first dentist who told me I needed about ½ that amount and was introduced to Dr Prepsky by a very close family friend. To say I am «afraid of the dentist» is an understatement (I literally cried at the 1^st 20 appointments), so when she told me the whole story of what she thought needed to be done I thought I was having a nightmare. It took about a year to get through all the work and to say that Dr Prepsky and her staff are professional and kind is like saying the Beatles are good. Dentistry is a passion for Dr Prepsky, as my friend told me, and I learned what this means during this life-​changing treatment. Not only is the practice of dentistry a passion– KINDNESS and EMPATHY for patients undergoing dental treatment is a passion. The absence of pain is a PRIORITY, and thoroughness and preventative care are hallmarks of Dr Prepsky’s work. As if this wasn’t enough, Dr Prepsky discovered that I had an arrhythmia that had also gone undetected– not «just» a dentist– a medical doctor too! As I mentioned, I had seen the East Coast «superstar» practitioners and Dr Prepsky outguns them hands down. I cannot ever thank Dr Prepsky enough, nor can I make a higher recommendation.

What an amazing dental office. The front office staff is very warm and friendly. The dental assistants are very personable and not to mention Dr. Prepsky is a phenomenal dentist. I had never had such a thorough dental exam in my life! Dr. P is very knowledgable, kind, and patient. After I was finished with Dr. P, I met with the dental hygienist for my cleaning. She also showed me how to floss my teeth properly (sadly, my last dentist never did). I left happy with clean teeth, thank you to Dr. P and staff!

When people tell me that they hate going to the dentist, I tell them that they haven’t met MY dentist. Dr. Prepsky has the training and skills that go beyond general dentistry, (DDS); hence the DMD after her name, (Doctor of Medical Dentistry). She treats the whole patient with care and attention to detail. She is interesting and interested. and has a great sense of humor, which goes a long way when you’re sitting in the chair, unable to carry on a two-​way conversation. Everyone on her staff works as a team, with an equally welcoming attitude and presence. You are always made to feel special. This begins from the moment you walk into the office. You are greeted by name and with a smile, and never have to wait more than a few minutes. If you are reading this review because you are considering changing dentists, stop looking; you have come to the right place.

There are not enough positive adjectives to adequately describe Dr. Prepsky and her office staff. I will start with gentle, caring, professional, empathetic, confident, knowledgeable, ethical… did I mention gentle and caring. I have been to dozens of dentists in my lifetime but there are none as wonderful as Dr. Prepsky. it is hard to believe, but I actually look forward to going to the dentist. If you look at the traits necessary for a health professional to be deemed exemplary you will see that Dr. Prepsky meets all those traits and more. Her office staff is superior. They always make you feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Prepsky and her staff are friendly and so welcoming. If I could rate Dr. Prepsky higher I would but unfortunately 5 stars are the most you will allow me to give. All that needs to be said is as a dentist there are none better than Dr. Prepsky. I just wish I felt this way about all my doctors. n

Dr. Prepsky is unique as a dentist in my opinion in that her energy is so «catchy». Going to the dentist isn’t exactly a sought after day’s happening so it’s great being with HER because She’s vivacious, confident, extremely through, and clearly does n0t seek to nickel and dime a patient. She’s generous with her time and engaging with her explanations. The office is run as a very tight team and that can only be the result of top leadership. And naturally, hiring great people. My Hygienist, Kirsten was amazing.
The fees are nOt the best deal in town But, when I get quality, and sound prevention, I do realize the big picture in the long run do make the fees fair and a better overall investment in my dental program. I think I found my new dentist here.

I had my first Prepsky visit today by recommendation from a friend.
What a great referral! She’s a really great person and runs a really nice operation.
I was totally surprised at how comfortable and fun her office was. I would never have guessed what was there. The whole office had a very positive energy both aesthetically and with the staff. The décor is NOTHING like you’d find in a dentists office. Totally tasteful and kind of therapeutic.
Her staff was super accommodating. One of them even ran out and fed the parking meter for me. Her main assistant was totally knowledgeable as well. Between her and Dr Prepsky, I walked out with a newfound education.
I really liked Laurie, the hygienist as well. Very sweet and easy to talk with (which is odd for that happen considering the contraptions they have in your mouth for the hour.)
Overall … A huge thank you to the friend that recommended her. I’ll absolutely be back.

Dr. Prepsky and her staff are out of this world! I appreciate that Dr. Prepsky and her TLC for both my teeth and my husband’s. She leans toward the conservative side as a dentist and takes overall precaution in dental care. Christie is my hygienist and is really great. They take dental insurance, too, if you have it.
