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.

Patty, my hygienist was terrific, as is Dr. Shahi. I’m very happy to have found her office.

Dr. Pattison is a great doctor, always listens to what I have to say and explains the procedure and what to expect. I have known Dr. Pattison for over 5 years, he never ignored to return my phone call. I trust with my medical care. I would highly recommend Dr. Pattison.

Liked the fresh flowers. The teeth cleaning suite was very clean and had natural light.

Dr. Pattison is an excellent periodontist. He answered all my questions and concerns. The staff is also outstanding. The receptionists are very friendly and very helpful with any matters related to appointments, payments and insurance.

I am very pleased with all aspects of my experience at this office. This is probably the best experience I’ve ever had at a dental office.

“I would definitely refer anyone to Dr.Pattison and staff. They were professional and courteous. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and kind. I strongly recommend Dr. Pattison & Staff – you won’t be disappointed.”

“I can’t say enough nice things about Dr. Shahi and her staff. From their friendliness, professionalism, and expertise – you won’t find better.”

“My first appointment was perfect. All staff were really lovely to me and my baby.”

Have been a patient for over thirty years. Very satisfied.

Gum surgery, not an easy experience. But Dr. Shahi is superb.

Dr. Shahi is really good. I went because my orthodontist recommended her for my surgery. She is really kind and great at what she does. I got my surgery and I barely had any pain. My Invisaligns hurt way more. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Pattison was patient and answered all my questions. The entire office staff is always very friendly.

Excellence on every level. I am truly grateful to be cared for by this excellent practice.

Becky is wonderful and everyone else too.

I was very pleased with my first experience at this dental office. The staff was exceptionally friendly. Dr. Pattison was very thorough in his exam, was able to detect my dental problem with the help of a 3-D x-ray and discussed alternative treatment plans to me. He was the most interactive and instructive dentist I have ever encountered.

I’ve been coming here for a long time. Had 2 implants and 100s of cleaning with Becky – 5 stars!

I feel comfortable going to Dr. Pattison. I have a very difficult case. He has been able to treat my dental problems in the best way possible.

Dr. Pattison did an excellent job of explaining what I would be experiencing, and I appreciated his follow up phone call after the procedure. His staff is friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend his services.

I couldn’t be happier with the quality of care, the knowledge of Dr. Shahi and her expert surgical skills. I feel like I’m in very good hands!

I would give 10 stars if I could. I had a swollen gum for a month which caused my nose and ear to be swollen. I was so suffered. My dentist and another periodontist couldn’t find the real reason. Dr. Patterson sat down and told me all the details. He found the reason. He is so patient and so nice. I will suggest anyone who has gum problem come to visit him. I love their Hygienist also. Super nice and very professional. 5/6/19

Visiting Dr. Shahi’s Dental Office was truly a professional experience. The office manager, Rebecca introduced herself and assisted me on the phone before arriving. I was pleasantly surprised upon my arrival she recalled all the details for my visit. Dr. Shahi was punctual and quickly met me to discuss pre and post procedures of my visit, a VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE periodontist and definitely a subject matter expert. After the procedure she even followed up with a phone call in the evening to ensure there were no complications. I drove from San Diego and I will continue to seek her professional service. DO NOT HESITATE, CONTACT HER OFFICE AT THE EARLIEST IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE DENTAL RESULTS. I felt this post was necessary to share with those that may also be suffering from dental discomfort. Best regards.

Excellent, wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Dr. Shahi and the entire office were wonderful!!!

I was able to get in to see the Dr. on the same day. When I called to make the appointment I was greeted with a very kind and knowledgeable receptionist. The staff and doctor are all extremely kind and professional. I found my experience to be very stress free and positive. I would highly recommend to family and friends.

Dr. Pattison is a genius. he saved my front tooth when three other periodontists said it couldn’t be done. he is honest and doesn’t put you through a lot of unnecessary treatments to pad the bill. And whatever he does do, you can be sure it’s going to turn out well. (reviewed on Dr. Oogle)

Becky is wonderful! I feel I am very lucky to be under her care for many years now. I really appreciate her attention to detail and very friendly demeanor at all times.

As a former dental hygienist, I had high expectations that my dental problems would be addressed and Dr. Shahi did not disappoint!! She is extremely knowledgeable as well as caring. Her dental hygienists have extraordinary skills and experience. I’m so fortunate to be a patient there!

This is the absolute best office I have ever visited. Everyone is friendly. Office and treatment rooms are immaculate. Dental hygienist is the most thorough one could ever hope for and periodontist is skilled and completely conscientious. There is no better place to have dental work done. I have been coming to this office for many years and would never change.

One of the best dentists and dental surgeons in LA. I RECOMMEND him and his associates without reservation.

Dr Shahi was very open to explain all parts of the procedure which put me at ease. Less than 24hours later I have no pain just soreness. I am very satisfied with the experience.

It’s Dr.Shahi’s warm, caring and knowledgeable personality which brought me back here – she has this cool, calm and collected aura and makes you at ease with the scariest scenario (surgery!!). Professional, gentle, with a soothing voice and very beautiful – perfect representation of what a modern dentist should be! Dental students should aspire to be like her. Beauty and brains!

Best in LA for periodontists.  Dr. Shahi and Dr. Pattison are extremely professional and thorough.  I have been going to this Dr. for 10 years, and never had a problem.—They are available 24-7 for emergencies. Also the dental hygenists in this office teach at USC and other dental schools. The staff is courteous and professional.  It doesn’t get better than these drs.

The doctor was very caring, knowledgeable, and patient. He took a lot of time to explain everything to me. The staff was very friendly.

Everything is always good in your office. Patricia is wonderful and Dr. Pattison is a superior dentist. 10/16/18

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.

You guys are the absolute best. I really appreciate the accommodation for a last-minute visit, the personalized follow-up phone calls, and options that are presented so that I can contribute to my care plan.  9/20/18

I doubt anyone ever said they “fun” during a dental appointment but that was my experience; very pleasant. Rebecca (reception) was gracious and answered my questions regarding the paperwork. Cecelia (dental assistant) introduced herself at the beginning of the exam. Dr. Pattison patiently LISTENED as I explained my issue. He EXPLAINED the procedure and showed me the equipment being used (my favorite). He was CONCERNED about my pain level and gave me a CHOICE of using Novocaine (I declined). He TALKED me through each step of the procedure. I really appreciated his taking the time to show me the equipment; amazing technology! Thank you! -Dean C. 9/15/18

As much as I dislike having dental surgery – coming here makes up for that and I always find myself mid-procedure being like “hmm this wasn’t so bad”. Thanks Rana for always being sweet and taking time to discuss things with me. I walk into the office scared, talk to you and then walk into the room confident. Office staff is also a highlight. I always look forward to seeing everyone! Thanks for making something so awful so enjoyable!  9/9/18

Dr. Shahi and her staff are outstanding. It’s a blessing to have such great care.  8/24/18

I feel confident that Dr. Pattison can help me with my dental problems. He has a great deal of experience.   8/23/18

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

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Dental hygienist Patricia is a gem. I always enjoy my visits to the office.   8/22/18

I find Dr. Shahi to be the ultimate in a competent, caring, and compassionate dentist. I don’t think you could do better. This includes her staff from the front desk all the way to the technicians and the hygienist. All top-notch!  7/6/18

It’s very comforting to know that the people taking care of you know what they’re doing and care about doing a good job. That’s always how I feel after visiting Dr. Pattison’s office. 7/6/18

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

My visit to Dr. Pattison’s office was exceptional in every way. The office staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Pattison was welcoming and professional. He took the time to do a very thorough exam and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend this periodontal practice.

My experience at this office has always been excellent. I would not go anywhere else.

I was referred to Dr. Pattison for an implant. Aside from the total success of his work – I am so delighted with HIM & his lovely staff. I was very scared, but they kept me at ease and all was smooth, gentle & kind! I couldn’t see ever having such an involved procedure ANYWHERE else! (reviewed on Dr. Oogle)

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.

Dr. Shahi is by far the best periodontist there is she is competent, and confident. Dr. Shahi did a tremendous amount of work, and she made me feel comfortable I could not have asked for a better experience. Dr.Shahi thank you for all you have done to make this world a better place. –4/1/18

The second I left the office yesterday I left a review on google. That’s how happy I was with my visit. Rebecca was so so incredible. I could really go on and on about how much Rebecca turned my visit into something I was sincerely dreading and frankly panicked about, into a doctors visit I was actually looking forward to happening again. She made me feel better and calm when I was scared and stressed. I came in crying and left with a huge (and temporarily toothless) smile on my face. Dr. Shahi was insanely sweet and patient with me. Gentle in every way and when I broke down crying she knew exactly what to say to calm me down and gain that doctor/patient trust. I have to come back for more work and my dental situation is not a great one but I know this doctor and her staff will take care of me and help me along the way. I feel that I am in good hands and with people who actually care about my health. –3/13/18

Rebecca at front desk could not be more incredible. I can’t say enough about this office. Dr. Shahi is gentle, very patient and couldn’t be more sincere if she tried. I walked in today a complete mess, stressed out, crying. I walked out feeling completely taken care of.

Ten year + patient rating. Dr. Pattison and Dr. Shahi including the wonderful and accommodating staff A FIVE STARS RATING. Every Visit. Every Time. My Mom is now a patient and wishes she had switched years ago. It’s hard to find a caring office like this these days. I highly recommend. –2/17/18

After battling with gum issues my entire life I was thrilled to find a periodontist that truly cares about helping me. Not only did Dr. Shahi explain everything super clearly she was extremely sympathetic. I never feel like I’m being sold on unnecessary treatment. If you need a periodontist I can’t recommend Dr. Shahi enough. Her front office staff is also very attentive and so so nice! If you want your gums to be their best go see Dr. Shahi as soon as possible!  –2/14/18

I’ve been a patient for over thirty years. All of the above five star ratings never change. Excellent dental care. Excellent office staff.  1/9/18

I saw Dr. Shahi back in February 2017. She quickly diagnosed and treated my dental problem. She is an excellent periodontist who works fast and painlessly. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain dental procedures. Most of all she is caring and patient. Her staff is very nice and her office is clean. I greatly recommend her.

“Dear Dr. Shahi, I want to thank you for making my gum surgery yesterday so amazingly painless and for making me feel so relaxed and confident in your procedure. I have had no swelling or discoloration even after 2 hours in the chair and no pain at all. And, this is the day after the procedure. You are an incredible surgeon and I would highly recommend you to all my friends. Also your staff – Rebecca, Cindy and Kim – just the best! Friendly & compassionate. I felt like I’ve known all of you for years, even though we have just met. Again, thank you!”

–This is a card received at our office. We are so happy that our patients have an exceptional experience and take the time to let us know. We love what we do.

Very professional, I highly recommend Dr. Rana Shahi. I will be back for all my dental work.

I was very pleased with the friendliness of everyone. Rebecca was wonderful and Dr. Shahi was great. She explained everything before and as she was doing the procedure. I received a list of instructions as well as a review of these and what to expect afterwards and what to do if any problems arose. I also received a followup call to find out how I was doing. –11/15/17

If I could leave six stars, I would. Dr. Shahi was able to diagnose and treat my dental issues so well that I continue to get compliments from other dentists on her work! She always made me feel comfortable, informed, and cared for. I believe that she is extraordinarily talented and that her genuine care was integral in the rapid and thorough healing process that I experienced. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a fantastic periodontist.

I have seen Dr. Pattison now for many years for implants. He’s simply the best. In addition to his obvious superb professional skills, he is a legitimate, warm human being. And, as is nearly always the case, the staff reflects the boss, so it is always a pleasure to go there. I can’t recommend him and his dental practice strongly enough. –11/1/17

I am so happy I found Dr. Shahi! I was referred to her when I needed a specialist. I was so scared but she made me feel so comfortable. She was very detailed, easy to talk to, and did a great job. I have also seen her hygienist which I was very pleased with. I now go in for regular cleanings. So happy to have found this office!  10/24/17

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

Dr. Shahi has been so kind and understanding. She explained everything to me so I would know what to expect. The staff is also very nice and the offices are very clean.

Dr. Shahi is an awesome doctor and an even better person. She is kind, generous, and skilled, and you will be in the best of hands. Stop searching – you’ve found the periodontist you’ve been looking for. –8/23/17

I had an emergency for my 10 year old daughter and Dr. Shahi was just fantastic! She saw us right away even though it was getting late, was the sweetest with my child and made her feel so comfortable. She acted quickly and very skillfully.  She was knowledgeable about her work and explained everything clearly to us. She saved the day for our family, and all that with a great smile and the most compassionate attitude.
I will definitely come back to see Dr. Shahi for myself and recommend her office to anyone who needs a great Periodontist!!

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. –8/17/17

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
