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 as well)

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.

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!

Yelp Review: Its Dr.Shahi warm, CARING and knowledgeable personality which brought me back here- she has this cool, calm and collected aura and make you at ease with the scariest scenario(surgery!!).

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.

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.

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. Rana Shahi is the best of the best, please stop looking because you have found exactly what you are looking for. Dr. Shahi cares so much for her patients and does amazing work by going above and beyond for everyone who walks into her office. Dr. Shahi and her team make you feel right at home, by receiving you with welcoming vibes and outstanding customer service. Do not hesitate on calling Dr. Shahi’s office right now to make an appointment because you will not regret it one bit!  –9/12/17

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

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

Google review below:

“Dr. Shahi is the most caring doctor I’ve ever met! She is kind and empathetic, and with her you know you are in good hands!”

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

Dr. Rana Shahi is the best! She did surgery on my gums and did a top of the line job. The recovery was simple and I healed perfectly. I appreciated her attention to detail and care.  Every experience I’ve had with her to date has been smooth and perfect. She even called me 2 days after my surgery to check-in and make sure I was healing as planned. The staff that supports her was also very professional and ensured I had everything I needed. I highly recommend Dr. Rana Shahi for any procedure you may need. –7/1/17

Always exceptional. Becky is amazing for dental cleanings. Dr. Pattison and Dr. Shahi are the best. 4/17/17

Bottom Line:  My overall experiences at this periodontist have consistently been SUPERB.  If you are looking for a periodontist, you have to come here.  This review is not based on one visit but on numerous visits.  One of the best thing is that it is also open on Saturdays.  If I could rate this place 6 stars out of 5, I would have because they save my teeth.  I will not go anywhere else but here.

Experience:  I came to this periodontists for numerous services: consultation, deep cleaning, wisdom tooth extraction (all 4), and tissue checkup.  All of my visits I had superb experiences.  Becky was the dental hygienist that performed my deep cleaning.  She is friendly and nice.  In addition, she is very very thorough and is passionate about what she does.  You can see the passion from the work Becky performs.  It is hard to explain but once you experience it, you will know.  I had a great deep cleaning experience with Becky and continue to ask for Becky for future cleanings.  I am sure all the other dental hygienists here are great as well.
As for my consultation, wisdom tooth extraction, and tissue checkup, these were all performed by Dr. Shahi.  Likewise, my experience with Dr. Shahi was also great.  Dr. Shahi was the one who gave me the treatment plan.  I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted with local numbing just recently.  At first I was terrified because of all the stories from my family and friends.  I can say that my wisdom teeth extraction experience was not terrifying but great and painless.  I did not experience much swelling and pain the day after the extraction and would have to attribute this to Dr. Shahi’s skills.
Of course, I cannot forget the front office staffs.  The front office staffs are also great, nice and friendly.  You are greeted when you walk in and they are very helpful in answering my questions.  As you can see, I have visited this periodontist a few times.  Every time, my experiences from the front office staffs to the dental hygienists have all been great.  Best of all, I have them to thank for saving my teeth.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Dr. Shahi. I needed to be seen urgently on a Saturday for a bad tooth infection. I contacted her medical office and she was able to squeeze me in on a Saturday afternoon, for which I am so grateful. I was so nervous but she quickly put me at ease and had a very very gentle hand. She had me out of the office within an hour and even called that evening to check on me. I highly highly recommend her.

Without a doubt the best oral surgeon in California. Really truly competent. The best of the best. Received award as top 100 dentists rated by his peers. Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Pattison.  11/11/16

I have been seeing Dr. Pattison for years for general periodontic services of mostly a preventive and maintenance nature. All has been well, as he has kept a good watch over my overall dental health. However, just in this last week, I had a minor dental emergency and needed to see Dr. Pattison on a more unplanned basis.

I must say, I was so impressed at first by his office itself, with the immediacy of the appointment time that was offered to me. Previously, I had only made appointments far in the future. When push came to shove, they were there for me.

I was seen by Dr. Pattison, who examined me and presented three possibilities that could have been causing my issue, the evidence that supported each possibility, and what the outcome would be in each possible scenario. He spoke to me as if he knew I had the intelligence to understand all the intricacies of his explanations, presenting his plan of how he would determine the cause of my problem, which would then indicate the recommended treatment. It was evident how much he enjoyed his work, and the commitment he had to solving and fixing my problem.

I think that, in this situation, Dr. Pattison really had the opportunity to shine. After all those years of seeing him for prevention and maintenance, I was able to see what he was really made of. He stepped right into action and demonstrated his competence and expertise.

I have so much confidence in him, which is very reassuring after having seen him for all these years, and finally, learning that I had placed my trust in the right person.

He receives my highest recommendation.

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

Dr. Shahi was amazing! She was so thorough and gentle through the whole cleaning process! Highly recommended!

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 was amazing with my daughter. Her ‘bedside manner’ was as good as I have ever experienced.  She made my daughter so relaxed as she went into surgery. Her follow up care following the surgery was first rate. When I came to yelp, I was not at all surprised to read the other rave reviews and 5 star ratings.  She deserved every one! –9/25/16

I am the worst dental patient anyone could ever imagine.  After a bad experience almost 15 years ago, I stopped going to any dentist, essentially playing a kind of dental roulette and hoping that all would be well.  Finally, when I was forced to deal with extensive and very painful dental problems, I was referred to Dr. Shahi who has somehow managed to resolve these issues with extraordinary expertise, gentleness and remarkably good humor.  She has the gift of being able to relate to all of her patients in a way I have never experienced before.  In addition, her staff is just as accomplished, and everyone makes you feel as if you are in safe hands in every respect.  I feel incredibly lucky to have found Dr. Shahi just in time and plan to stop being such a baby about going to the dentist — as long as I can keep seeing her. –7/26/16

Dr. Shahi is one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. She is very friendly and was very attentive to my needs and concerns. Dr. Shahi answered all of my questions thoroughly and I never felt rushed (which happens a lot when you go to the doctor). She was very concerned about my well being during my surgery and would check in with me. Overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Shahi and her staff. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Let’s put it this way, I have never felt so comfortable with someone who is putting sharp objects in my mouth. I had a few procedures that needed to be done and Dr. Shahi did a magnificent job, I have the smile to show! Most importantly, Dr. Shahi was very attentive and considerate of my comfort during the procedure, rare to find!  True professional and so kind-hearted, I felt immediately at ease with Dr. Shahi.

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.

Dr. Shahi has been my dentist through an extensive periodontal treatment over the past three years. I believe that her dedication, confidence and positive attitude were integral in the very successful outcome of my case. I had many surgeries with her and never felt anxious because she always communicated very clearly, and was so careful that I didn’t experience pain. I am forever grateful for the restoration and healing I received from her care. She is truly a talented and caring doctor!

My experience with Dr. Shahi was outstanding. She takes her work very seriously, was very caring, and had a delicate touch. After my experiences with Dr. Shahi, I referred a family member to her who needed a procedure. She did an excellent job and if she didn’t move to California, we would still be seeing her here in Indianapolis.

Never felt so comfy with a dentist in my life!!!!!
