“Dr. Shahi is extremely competent and she, along with her staff are very professional. Dr. Shahi really cares about the well being of her patients.”

“Always clean, kind and professional. Perfect 10s all the way around.”

“Felt safe and everyone was really nice and very welcoming to my little one.”

“Dr. Shahi and her staff are wonderful.”

“Dr. Shahi and staff delivered absolute superb quality of work. They also provide a clean and safe environment. All necessary COVID-19 precautions were taken before every appointment. Dr. Shahi is a gentle perfectionist which is why I would strongly recommend anyone in need of dental work. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.”

“VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE.”

“Great work; very friendly and informative people. Would definitely recommend.”

“Miriam did an excellent job. I think she’s a very skilled hygienist.”

“I’m so grateful to be a patient in this most extraordinary office!!”

“Always the best patient care and I am always satisfied with results…..would recommend Dr. Shahi and staff to all! I am 100% satisfied, as always. Thank you!”

“I can’t rave enough about Dr. Shahi. I was referred to her for gum surgery, and she eased all my fears by talking me through all my concerns prior to the surgery. On the day of the surgery, she explained what she would be doing, as my case was a bit more delicate and complex. After the surgery was complete, she had reached out to check on me that evening, as well as throughout the weekend, making sure that I was doing okay and if I had any questions and concerns with the healing process. I would highly recommend Dr. Shahi, as she goes above and beyond to for her clients.”

“Always exemplary. Referring people to your office is an action I can do with complete confidence that my bragging about your office will be proven accurate.”

“Love this practice! Pattison and Shahi are a great partnership. Very excited to stay with the practice.”

“Excellent service & staff. Couldn’t ask for more!”

“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!”

“I honestly cannot give enough positive feedback about Dr. Shahi’s practice. If you have excessive bleeding gums that are constantly sore do yourself a huge favor and come straight to Dr. Shahi. There is no one more caring than her! She is one of the best gum surgeons I have encountered and I have been to a lot of periodontists. Her office is very clean and staff is very professional and helpful. Always willing to help! She performed osseous surgery on me last week. She spent all of her time explaining to me what she was seeing and doing, so I would know everything that was going on. In addition, I was a wreck before the surgery she calmed me down before. By the time she was going to start I was ready! Thank you Dr. Shahi :). If you honestly look for an amazing periodontist come see Dr. Shahi and you’ll know what I’m talking about!”

“I feel lucky to have a periodontist who I have complete faith in, and everyone in the office is great. Miriam did a great cleaning on my mouth, and Iris is always wonderful, as is everyone else in the office. I feel comfortable asking any questions I have about any procedure I have done, and Dr. Shahi and everyone else in the office is very responsive and kind. Thank you.”

“I`m so glad I found out about Dr. Shahi. Wish I have had met her earlier.”

“Always a great experience with Dr. Shahi! Today met hygienist Miriam, and could not be happier with amazing and extremely thorough cleaning! Highly recommend!”

“My son went to Dr. Shahi for help with his gums. She was very friendly and approachable. The fees were reasonable considering the procedure that he needed. She also is the only dentist I have seen in Santa Monica that was upfront regarding fees and my insurance. Definitely would go back to her again if necessary.”

“I will preface this by saying that I’ve only been going to Dr. Shahi for around a year now and also that I rarely write reviews, mostly because I don’t have the time or the inclination. But I have finally begun getting traction on a treatment plan that I have been trying to address for years. I have found it almost impossible to find a periodontist that I feel I can trust, have a good rapport with, whose staff is phenomenal and who will get the work done without killing me in the process. And now I finally feel my search is over. As an example, I had two infected teeth pulled by Dr. Shahi in the same day. In the past, pulling a tooth was a crapshoot and often ended up with considerable pain during recovery. In this case I really didn’t even need the pain meds which is significant considering both teeth were infected. That showed me that Dr. Shahi is thorough and considerate. When COVID restrictions came down on the dental industry, Dr. Shahi called personally to inform me and answer any questions I had!!! What?!?! What dentist or periodontist or any business owner for that matter does that these days?? I don’t think that it’s reasonable to expect that there’s a practice that is going to be 100% flawless in every aspect of their operation. But if you place emphasis on honesty, fantastic bedside manner, wonderful staff and minimal pain in your treatments, then I recommend Dr. Shahi in the most fervent possible way.”

“Love this medical office, it is a pleasure to go there, everyone is professional and caring. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!”

“Great practice would recommend to anyone.”

“Dr. Shahi is the best! Would recommend for anyone who needs a patient and kind and caring doctor. She takes her time and explained everything to whichever detail-depth you need it to be. Gum grafts and gum flaps, whatever you need she does and she does it great!!”

“Dr. Shahi was recommended to me by my dentist. I needed a gum graft and they worked with me while it was a little more challenging to schedule me due to childcare availability. The procedure itself was fantastic. I had minimal discomfort and she explained everything to me starting with the consultation where I had 1,000 questions. I’m a visual person and she pulled her laptop out and showed me pictures so I could mentally prepare for the procedure. Once this was done I needed some more work done and she worked together with Dr. Rauth. This time no pain. She was a little concerned about something and made extra sure I would heal ok. Overall, I wouldn’t go anywhere else and I don’t even like to get my teeth cleaned. Extremely great bedside manner and patience for the entire team. Would always go back and continue to recommend them!”

“This is the best dental office I have ever been to!! The staff is amazing and Dr. Shahi is the best of the best! Dr. Shahi is one of the most caring periodontists I have been to. She is thorough and gentle!”

“Thank you all for taking such good care of me and being responsive to my concerns!”

It’s hard to find something good to say about gum surgery, but honesty, Dr. Shahi is really a fabulous surgeon. I have recommended her on many occasions to friends and they all agree – she really takes the pain out of it. She has a kind and compassionate bedside manner. She has a great staff and has made the office very covid-safe. I have had gum surgery and an implant done by her and she really makes it easy and takes the fear away.

Dr. Shahi is incredible. Please, do yourself a favor and stop surfing the web for the best dental surgeon in LA. You’ve found her! Right here! I went to Dr. Shahi for a gum graft, and am so happy I did. She is incredibly talented. She works quickly, expertly, and painlessly.

All the dentistry expertise is there (I’m no expert, but I healed great, no infections, not much pain, a fast procedure, great explanations of everything that she was doing etc etc).  What makes Dr. Shahi’s practice more than just a good office, are the intangibles.

The office is warm, kind, and flexible. Led by Iris, the front desk always answer the phone and return calls. They are so on top of things, so you don’t have to be. They work with you and your insurance. They take every covid precaution imaginable. Dr. Shahi’s other assistants, including Miriam, are so kind, and tend to their patients with so much care.

Dr. Shahi leads a bad ass group of health professionals, and I love them! Somehow, I have sutures in my mouth, but am not that uncomfortable. I’m so grateful I (found a) dental surgeon who is both brilliant, and kind.

Seriously, go here for anything periodontist related. You’ll be so happy you did.

Every person who works here really cares about the PERSON who is the patient.

I’m so grateful that Dr. Shahi and her terrific staff are continuing to keep me safe and healthy!! I so appreciate the skill and chairside manner of their new hygienist Victoria!!

Always very pleasant and professional.

I am very pleased with the entire experience. Like many other people visiting a dental office is not something that I get real excited about. I found the staff, doctor and dental hygienist competent and friendly. I felt the hygienist was knowledgeable about how to treat my anxiousness about having a gag reflex. It is not something I usually say but I actually enjoyed having my teeth cleaned! I appreciate coming to an office that is focused on giving the patient a good experience. Thank you.

Dr. Shahi is an excellent doctor and goes above and beyond for her patients! She is very thorough, knowledgeable, and provides excellent dental care – which is hard to find in a dentist. The staff is professional and kind. Highly recommend!

I am very happy to be under Dr. Shahi’s care as well as her entire staff.

I am truly grateful to have 100%+ confidence in Dr. Shahi’s and Dr. Pattison’s knowledge and skill. This office goes above and beyond expectations in every positive way.

Awesome, as always. Great people, great work. Thank you!!!

Visiting a periodontist is scary to begin with since you’re going there because of a problem. I asked Dr. Shahi to be gentle with the way she addressed my potential problems. She did just that, giving me hope that together we’d come up with a treatment plan to save my teeth. She also found an infection under a root canal tooth that I didn’t know I had because I have no nerves in that tooth. Working on that problem for tomorrow. I would recommend her and her wonderful office staff without reservation and with enthusiasm!

This was my first visit, on referral, to this office. The staff were friendly and efficient, and my periodontist, Dr. Shahi, was extremely thorough, with a calming presence (no small thing!) and very clear manner in explaining the various issues to be addressed in resolving my case. I was very impressed.

Professional…office has taken all the Covid precautions. Dr. Shahi phoned me later after my visit to see if I had any questions and how I was doing. I would recommend Dr. Shahi to all my family and friends. I am so grateful to her and her staff for treating me. Thank You!

Would absolutely recommend Dr. Shahi to anyone in need of a periodontist. Knowledgeable, personable, and keeps me informed on what work is happening and why. Look no further, really.

Dr. Shahi and her staff are top notch! Even during COVID the office was cheerful and accommodating with plenty of protocols in place for safety. My teenage son had two procedures on his gums with Dr. Shahi and he came out with flying colors! Little or no pain or discomfort afterwards. I also had to undergo a procedure due to a gum infection and my recovery time was quick and I was feeling better fast. Always friendly and informative, Dr. Shahi really spends the time with her patients and goes the extra mile to inform, prepare and make sure that her patients know exactly what to expect. If she does not feel that her area of expertise is right for a procedure, she is generous enough to recommend a colleague. This happened recently with my son. I really appreciated that. It made me feel like she was really looking out for my son’s best interest. Appointments are easy, the front desk is efficient.

All of you are terrific, thanks for your warmth and support.

Art was so gentle and thorough. Best teeth cleaning I have had in a while.

Have been going to this dental office for many years and am thoroughly pleased with the service and care I have received.

I feel fortunate to have been going to Dr. Pattison’s for many years and now continue with Dr. Shahi at the helm. I cannot say enough good things about them. I respect and have complete trust in their management decisions for my care. Not quick to do x-rays or invasive procedures but always when rightfully indicated for best care and dental maintenance. The dental surgeries are executed with great skill and expertise with great care for my comfort and safety, and with optimum outcomes – I say this coming from a healthcare background. The support staff are the best, especially Iris. I met a new dental hygienist today, Art, who gave me a thorough dental cleaning with gentle, careful and precise hands. I love Dr. Shahi, Dr. Pattison and their team. They are the best!

I’m so pleased that I have the BEST dentist, dental hygienist, and staff in the world!!! As a former dental hygienist myself I know how to evaluate dental offices and this one is by far the best!!! I’m so grateful to them!!

I was anxious not only about my upcoming dental surgery but also going into the office during the pandemic. Dr.Shahi took the time to answer my numerous questions and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. My appointments have been as pleasant and caring as could be during these very trying times.

Great experience, will return.

I came to see Dr. Shahi for an extraction and bone graft. I’m definitely a person who has anxiety especially at the dentist. The experience exceeded my expectations. Although there were some moments of discomfort (my tooth was particularly hard to extract) I felt no pain during the procedure. The recovery went just as she explained with minimal pain. She certainly did a great job of walking me through all the steps before, during, and after. I never felt rushed in her office and her staff was by far the sweetest. Overall I get very well taken care of and my fears and nervousness were handled with patience and kindness. I definitely would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Dr. Shahi!

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.

“Professional, patient, gracious, and informative – thank you.”

The best staff, doctors, hygienist Patricia, I always feel welcome.

Excellent care and attention. Thank you!

Dr. Shahi took complete x-rays to look deeper into my issues. She made me feel confident in her knowledge and protocol for quickly solving my problems.

First rate professionals. Dr. Shahi is a kind, smart in the heart and head periodontist. No small gift for those of us with perpetual dental challenges. I walked into the office with dread and left with supreme confidence that I was in the of best hands. Tammy and Christina are friendly and ON IT. A relaxed atmosphere and welcome calm. Welcome to Dental Heaven!

A great, caring, smart, and honest periodontist. I only go to her for my gum grafts and gum issues. I love her and her awesome team!

Excellence in every way. I feel very secure that my dental health is in the best of hands at this periodontal office. They have been ultra careful with covid19 guidelines and procedures. I was completely comfortable with their covid 19 protection protocol.

I think Dr. Rana Shahi is the BEST!….The first visit I had last year was for gum surgery and I did not feel any pain…..after the surgery, I went home and never had any pain…..amazing!!!!….today I had a “deep cleaning”…..I was given shots of novocaine and truthfully did not feel hardly any needles going into my gum…..I have been home now all day and absolutely no pain at all after all that…..Dr. Shahi, as far as I am concerned, is wonderful and I would recommend her to everyone….Thank you Dr. Shahi…see you in a month.

Dr. Shahi is my guardian angel. I cracked a tooth the first couple of days into the pandemic. I had fear and panic running through my mind wondering what I was going to do. Dr.Shahi came to my rescue. Because it was a dental emergency she stepped up and was able to pull my tooth and get me fitted with a temporary bridge. She was kind and gentle and literally had the hands of a surgeon. I would highly recommend her and I would give her and her staff 10 stars if I could. Thank You Dr. Shahi for your expertise and kindness.

Dr. Shahi is amazing. Everything that Dr. Pattison wrote about her is correct. She is professional, knowledgeable, warm, and caring. She broke some difficult news to me about my teeth in a very empathetic but direct way, and began treatment for the problem, explaining everything as we went, thoroughly treating the problem, and minimizing discomfort as much as possible. I am very grateful to have her as my periodontist.

The service was excellent, the staff was friendly, and Dr. Shahi, the dentist was incredibly professional.

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!

“As always, excellent service, lovely office and a very nice staff!”

“I have been coming here for many years, and always admire their attention and caring.”

Everyone in the office is very friendly. I love the interesting articles that are emailed to us and the appointment reminder text we get 1 week prior to our appointment.

I’ve been a long time patient of Dr. Pattison, he is just the best!!! I wish he could be cloned.

Dr. Pattison is top notch, and his staff are helpful and professional.

This office rocks! Everyone working there is kind and caring! Dr. Pattinson took great care in making sure I was comfortable. Dr. Pattinson and Dr. Shahi are game-changers in dentistry! I am lucky to have met them and their staff! Dr. Pattinson personally followed up with me by voice next day! Super important and a nice touch!

My mouth has never been in good shape — genes maybe?  Anyway when I was about 40 FIVE dentists told me I had to have my FRONT TOOTH pulled out!  This was in the infancy of implants and I felt desperate!  I went to Dr. Pattison and he literally worked a miracle on that tooth.  He gave it so much special treatment and wizardry — actually he was surprised and delighted at how the pocket closed up.  He said,”I can’t guarantee anything but looks good… “. I continued to see him 3 times a year and he would sometimes clean my teeth *himself* because he had certain things in mind. Super conservative, super attentive to detail.

I am now 70 and I still have that tooth.  10 years ago I moved to Chicago and my mouth has really fallen apart from the crude, bad dentistry in this town.  I only got to appreciate Dr. Pattison even more once I saw what the rest of the world was like!

He is super honest.  He is super skillful.  He will do everything to save your natural mouth and avoid radical intervention.  I miss him more than anything else in LA.  And that is true.

He also has an impeccable reputation with his peers and teaches at USC one of the top dental schools in the US.

“Nothing but the best experience at your practice!”

Dr. Shahi is as adept as she is considerate. She takes the time to explain every step, so as to set one at ease. She made an otherwise painful procedure seem more tolerable.

Everyone was friendly. Dr. Pattison answered my questions thoughtfully. He told me what was happening during the procedure. A gum graft is not an enjoyable procedure but Dr. Pattison and his staff made it as pleasant as possible.

Wonderful staff! Always have a great experience.

Today was my last visit to Dr. Pattison, as I’d been referred to him solely for a dental implant. I have been absolutely thrilled with Dr. Pattison and his staff. He is probably the warmest and kindest dentist I have ever encountered. He thoroughly explained each procedure and gave immediate feedback on my healing progress. I can’t recall ever having such a pleasant dental experience in my 70 years. I, again, want to thank Dr. Pattison and his staff for being so kind and technically adept. I only wish that I were able to receive general dentistry at this office.

Very professional! The team takes its time, and are very thorough!

Dr. Pattison was amazing!

Very clean and professional.

“I was impressed with Dr. Shahi, she was super professional. She patiently answered all my questions. I will recommend her to all my friends and family members.”

My dentist recommended Dr. Shahi for a crown lengthening I needed. Scheduling was easy and the woman at the front desk (Tammy) was nice and immediately put me at ease while scheduling. When I met the doctor she was also nice, friendly and calming while explaining the CL procedure and didn’t seem to mind re-explaining to ease my mind. At my CL appt. she was again calm, gentle and made sure I was comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shahi!! (reviewed on healthgrades)

“Best dental office! Incredibly knowledgeable and competent dentists and hygienists.”

“Perfection! Everyone went out of their way to help me with my challenges.”

My first visit was in the 80’s. Competent staff, friendly and professional.

“Great experience and attentive staff.”

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.

Have been coming here for years. Becky is outstanding and Dr. Shahi seems fab.

I’m so pleased to be a patient of Dr. Shahi!!!

“The welcoming office and professional approach…calming and assuring. I am grateful to have found these exceptional professionals.”

Dr. Shahi is wonderful. She took the time to explain the procedure and answered all of my detailed questions. I was also able to talk to her on the phone prior to my procedure appointment to discuss any last minute concerns I had. During the procedure, she was detail-oriented and precise. Post-operatively, Dr. Shahi has excellent follow-up. It is clear she truly cares about delivering A+ work for her patients.

I am completely satisfied with all of the office staff, ranging from the receptionist, dental assistant staff and Dr. Pattison. Iris, the billing clerk, has been especially helpful in investigating my payment options.

Patty is gentle and friendly and makes my cleaning visits less stressful.

The BEST!

Continued excellent care!

“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.”

Dr. Pattison always addresses my needs in a professional manner. I appreciate the way he answers my questions in depth.

Dr. Pattison and his staff took great to make sure my needs were met. Dr. Pattison was very thoughtful, caring and thorough with my examination. I would highly recommend this team!

I have had many years of excellent service.

I am very happy with the service I receive at this dental office.

I always receive great service from your office. I appreciate that very much! Thank you!

Very professional & friendly.

“You guys are da best!”

“Very pleased!”

“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!”

This was my first visit to this office and the staff were extremely warm and friendly. They were helpful with all my questions and made sure they answered all my questions. What I thought was going to be a 30 minute consultation turned into 1.5 hours of answering the abundance of questions I had. I walked away feeling very comfortable with the impending procedures knowing I am in good hands. Thank you ALL.

Dr. Shahi has completely changed my opinion on dentists. After having a troubling experience with a dentist in the past I was reluctant to get dental work done ever again. Dr. Shahi has amazing table side manners, works quick and painlessly. After having to get a tooth removed last year she got me right into her office so I won’t wait in pain, and now I have my boyfriend seeing her for his dental work as well. The whole office staff is nice and answers every time I call as well! (posted on Yelp too!)

I always feel that I’m getting the best care possible when I visit Dr. Pattison.

I’ve been a patient at this office for over 25 years (I think). I trust everyone implicitly.

Have been coming here for a long time – great practice!

Outstanding dental care.

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.

Everyone was incredibly friendly and very professional. It was a very professional, clean office. I was very impressed, even though I’m terrified to be at a dental office at all, but I really appreciated the professional and kind demeanor of everyone.

Wonderful environment!!!

Excellent and very professional care.

I always have a very pleasant experience with Becky my hygienist. I have been seeing her for years and she is extremely professional and very thorough in her exam and cleaning. I am always impressed with Becky’s attention to details. Dr. Pattison and Dr. Shahi are also very professional and knowledgeable. They both take time with me to explain the details about my specific dental issues or concerns. I find it very easy to work with the front desk staff, they are always a pleasure! Everyone in this office is very friendly and helpful, that’s one of the biggest reasons I have been a patient in this office for many years!!

Dr. Pattison is an amazing man. Great demeanor, super intelligent. I am blessed to have found him.

Excellent experience in all regards.

Great People

The staff was very professional and friendly, from start to finish. Although the surgery I needed was not a lot of fun, they made the experience as bearable and pleasant as possible. Dr. Shahi made me feel very comfortable with the procedure from our initial consultation visit to the day of the procedure. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Excellent work!

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!!

Very Professional, competent and friendly staff.
