“Went in for my first consultation today and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. All of the receptionists and Dr. Shahi were incredibly personable, went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, and took the time to thoroughly explain the procedures and pricing.”
“I had a wonderful visit at this dental office. Everyone had a smile on their face, a great attitude, and acted professionally. They were very helpful in the office and the whole visit was a breeze. Thank you!”
Never thought I’d rather get a tooth pulled than getting another flu shot! Dr. Shahi is an outstanding periodontist. She talked me through every step of the procedure and made the entire experience pain-free, as crazy as that sounds. The entire office staff is polite and professional. Great communication and follow up. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Dr. Shahi is amazing. So as everyone who works in the office, very friendly. Dr. Shahi is also very friendly, easy to communicate to and very gentle. She did the crown lengthening surgery for me and it came out beautiful. I’ve always had gummy smile issue ever since I can remember because how my upper jaw is slightly lower. I’ve gone through two orthodontic treatments in the past 5 years trying to improve this but I wasn’t 100% satisfied with my smile still although we’ve done everything we could. After talking to my dentist back and forth of how to improve my smile, we decided to do the veneers. To have the perfect result and make my money worth, he suggested me to go to Dr. Shahi first for a crown lengthening surgery to reduce some gum tissue to make the gum line prettier. The procedure went smoothly, Dr. Shahi did a really good job at numbing me, this I had to point out because I almost felt nothing and she had to numb my gum tissue and in the bone too. Just had a recheck with her and the result looks beautiful. I’m already getting so many compliments and people can really tell a difference! Thank you Dr. Shahi for fixing the gummy smile I had for my whole life and made my smile so much better!
I’ve been having some dental work done here. Dr. Shahi is great, reviews instructions with you thoroughly to make sure you understand what you have to do when you leave. Appointments easy to make. They text out reminders which is very helpful. The front end staff are friendly and assists you in navigating your way through the insurance world.
“My name is Carol. I was a dental hygienist for 30 years before retiring and moving to Santa Monica. After moving here, it was important to find a highly qualified periodontist with skilled hygienists in her practice. It took a great deal of research on my part before finding Dr. Rana Shahi. The fact that Dr. Shahi had a Masters & Doctorate in Oral Biology, besides earning her DDS and a degree in Periodontics was particularly important to me. I consider myself very fortunate to have found Dr. Shahi. She took the time to consult with her UCLA colleagues about my case. She is on the cutting edge of the newest techniques, medications, and research in the field of perio. Speaking as a former periodontal hygienist, I am so impressed with the highly skilled and gentle hygienists in her practice. The incredibly trained hygienists and Dr. Shahi have given me a newfound hope that I will retain all my teeth.”
“After receiving a diagnosis from another periodontist that didn’t seem right, I started looking around for second opinions.
I wanted to make the best decision, so I set a few consultations up. Luckily, after a few not so great ones, a friend referred me to Dr. Shahi. I never felt completely comfortable with any of the places I went. That is, until I went to Dr. Shahi.
She actually took the time to walk me through what was happening and answered all of my questions (and I’m sure I asked a lot!) She didn’t rush me out the door and I felt like she understood my concerns. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything so thoroughly. Although I’d prefer not to need any treatments, I left the consultation feeling comfortable scheduling and knowing I was in good hands.
After multiple visits, I still feel the same way as I did at the consultation. The staff is incredibly sweet and everyone is so knowledgeable. I learn something new every time I go!”
Dr. Shahi is fantastic. All the way from consultation through surgery and recovery, she is very thorough, excellent with communication, takes the time with her patients, dedicated to the practice and does fantastic work. Very grateful to have found her. Highly recommend.
I see a lot of great reviews on here about Dr. Shahi and I’m happy to say I share the same sentiment. She is very warm and caring and truly an expert at what she does. I’ve been to other dental offices where I feel they’re constantly trying to sell me unnecessary treatment, thankfully not here. In fact, I’ve never had a better experience at a Dental office. Only things that were necessary were done. The Dental hygienist (Becky) that worked on me is amazingly talented and FULL FULL of knowledge. My goodness, I learned so much about teeth and what’s going on with them when so and so happens. I left there more knowledgeable on treating my own dental hygiene.
Office/Equipment = Excellent
Customer Care = Excellent
Communication = Excellent
Technology = Updated and Excellent
Knowledge = Excellent
I will be back. Thank you Dr. Shahi and Becky!!
This review is long overdue and if I could give Dr. Shahi more stars, I would. I am a person that gets nervous around doctors but Dr. Shahi made me feel 100% comfortable from day #1. I truly appreciate her kindness because I was completely terrified inside during my initial consultation. She smiled and told me that everything would be okay and proceeded to conduct her exam. She was patient, soft-spoken, professional, knowledgeable, caring and truly listened to all of my concerns. After my initial meeting, we scheduled another appointment for a semi-deep clean and 2 days later, gum surgery on the right side of my mouth. I still have 3 surgeries to go after I am fully recovered and I can’t imagine trusting another periodontist to conduct this highly evasive surgery.
Before my gum surgery, Dr. Shahi gave me a list of instructions and told me that she would be checking on me via phone after the procedure. She kept her word and made herself available to me 24/7 for the next 3 weeks as my mouth healed. She called and texted me every day for several weeks. Her sympathy truly amazed me since I had never met a doctor who truly cared this much. I am truly grateful to have found Dr. Shahi. Without her, my mouth would still be in severe pain. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a periodontist in Los Angeles.
Dr. Rana Shahi I have to say, was one of the 3 best people I’ve seen concerning my oral and dental health.
Let me begin by saying as a child, I had a dentist I was so afraid of. His office was cool, he had hamburger time in the waiting room so I could play that video game. And I always knew when I left his office I could get into the treasure chest and pick toys. I also knew upon coming into his office that I would have a choice to open my mouth or he told me if I didn’t open my mouth he’d shove the Novocain up my nose. Needless to say I was completely frightened of the dentist. From the age 5 on I was always terrified of visits to the dentist.
This last year I had come up with some pretty severe dental issues, I had had an abscess in the tooth, I’ve never had anything like that before, and I was scared. I was referred to the dentist who referred me to Dr. Shahi. She was actually the last person I needed to see in the process, I have to say she was the most gentle periodontist I could’ve ever wished for. Her work is delicate and calming. I had to have some skin grafting done which I had no idea what that entailed and I was completely frightened. But she’s an incredible doctor,
and I was calm and comfortable enough to take pictures of her doing the procedure.
If you’re anything like me and frightened of the dentist she is amazing and I highly recommend her. I will post the pictures I took they’re completely on flattering but to give you an idea of how comfortable I was the pictures worth 1000 words. She’s also extremely compassionate and cares about her patients and that really matters to me. She rules!!
In the photos you can see her stitching my gum which I never thought I would ever be possible for anybody to do with me without having a complete spaz attack. 8/23/18
Dr. Shahi was incredibly sympathetic throughout my entire extraction and implant process. She made sure I understood what was going on in my mouth and guided me through the steps I should take to promote proper healing. She was very responsive whenever I had questions (or freak outs…) and has an overall kindness that makes you feel like you’re in good hands. These qualities are also reflected in her staff, Cecilia and Rebecca, who put me at ease at every visit. I can’t recommend Dr. Shahi and her office enough! 7/5/18
Dr. Rana Shahi is by far one of the best periodontist around. She is absolutely amazing. I had a tremendous amount of work done and she made me feel so comfortable. She is competent and confident. I love Dr.Shahi, and she is amazingly beautiful. Thank you Dr. Shahi for all that you have done to make this world a better place.
Very professional, I highly recommend Dr. Rana Shahi. I will be back for all my dental work.
I am so happy to have found Dr. Shahi! I was referred to Dr. Shahi from a General Dentist. Her bedside manner is the best! She is careful, meticulous and very warm while she works on you. I am nothing but impressed with her work. I would (and have) recommend she and her hygienist staff over and over. Woohoo, I finally found a great dentist close to home!! Thanks, Dr. Shahi! –9/23/17

Referring dentist here. Working with Rana Shahi has been great. Dr. Shahi has been excellent with her clinical treatment and communication with her patients and I. I’d highly recommend her practice for your periodontal needs! –8/8/17
Dr. Shahi is great! She is incredibly warm and caring about her patients. She was very informative at my first visit and eased my nerves tremendously. Fantastic dental experience! –8/8/17
Dr. Shahi is hands down the most compassionate, skilled professional! She’s not only an awesome surgeon but a sweetheart who really cares about her patients and even does volunteer dental work abroad! Rest assured you’ll not only receive the best periodontal care, but also feel comfortable and well cared for.
Amazing periodontist, fantastic support staff and office. As a general dentist that is practicing near Marina Del Rey, I always recommend her office to friends, family and patients. In my many years of practice, it’s difficult to find a surgeon that is not only skilled but kind, honest, ethical and empathetic. In LA her office can be difficult especially for my patients in the South Bay to go to but believe me, she is worth the visit. Look no further for your surgery needs! –7/18/17
Always exceptional. Becky is amazing for dental cleanings. Dr. Pattison and Dr. Shahi are the best. 4/17/17
Dr. Shahi and her staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming. I was very nervous walking in, but they all put me at ease, explained everything in detail, and made me feel like I definitely made the right choice. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Shahi to all my friends and family. 10/22/16
Best cleaning of my life! I have been going to Dr. Shahi for years because she takes great care of my teeth and has the gentlest touch! Her calm demeanor puts you at ease and her extensive training in periodontics gives you the peace of mind that you are truly going to the best dentist! Looking forward to visiting this practice again soon! 10/16/16
I come from an overseas country and after a long search I finally found Dr. Shahi. She was suggested by another dentist and I can only thank him for this. I had a very serious problem but Dr. Shahi and her staff were fantastic with my disease. She has a great knowledge and she is a very careful person to her patient’s needs. I live in LA for a few month and I have problem with language but Dr. Shahi is always very kind, patient and in these months I feel like home. I met many dentists over the past years but for me she is the best. –10/9/16
Dr. Shahi is one of those doctors–the kind you come across and should never let go of. I went to her office with some serious oral conditions, and subsequently she had to perform two surgeries. During the surgeries, she was gentle, concerned, and checked in on my needs constantly. The same mannerisms were true post-op: Dr. Shahi was always there, immediately responsive to any of my needs. Her kind demeanor and excellent medical skills are unparalleled. I cannot imagine how horrible my health would be without her, and I look forward to continue having her as my physician.
