Michael A Parsons DDS

I’ve been going to Dr. Parsons for many years and he is great! He is kind and gentle and a really great dentist. He has done root canals and crowns for me and recently had to shave a tooth down that was acting up. He is conservative in his approach and very patient. I would definitely recommend him.

We drive from Dana Point, Orange County to Dr. Parsons. When you find an honest, patient and genuinely caring dentist… you don’t let them go! Lol the front office is full of the same… all very sweet and helpful.
NOT to mention the waiting room… huge and and more like a playroom for the kids! My daughter didn’t want to leave!

Dr. Parsons is not my regular dentist but he takes care of me when Dr. Sherman, his partner, is unavailable. They has been my dentist’s for about 2 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about both of them and his staff in general.
The office is just down the street from my house, so I can walk which is a luxury in the City of Angels. I also love the laid-​back old-​world feel to the office. Everyone is relaxed and yet efficient.
My cleanings have been painless which is a huge plus, and just like the office staff the Hygienist’s (I’ve had two different Hygienists over the span of my being their patients) have always been gentle and soothing. I have a small amount of anxiety about someone sticking a sharp steal implement into my mouth, so I’m especially thankful for a calm experience in totality.
One last positive point. I’ve noticed a trend with dentists over the last few years more and more often they are trying to sell me stuff. Not procedures so much (but that too) but stuff, everything from Sonicare to mouthwash. I don’t mind a suggestion or two, but I’m very uncomfortable with shopping at my dentist. So I’m happy to say there is none of that at this office. Just quality Dental care. So Bravo!

Dr. Parsons was awesome and fast. I had an infection in my tooth and it was painful. Root canal done and antibiotics I am a new person.
Glad my sister recommended him to me.
Thanks for the great work Dr. Parsons.

This is a wonderful dental center. I trust them, I like them and I would recommend them to anyone. I know how hard it can be to find a good dentist and how awful it can be if you don’t — believe me I’ve been there! That’s why I wanted to give these guys a good review. They were so helpful with working out how we could get the best treatment within our insurance coverage. They are family friendly and have served us well with many different kinds of treatment. As a family of four we have a variety of needs. Our two young kids were treated very well here — the waiting room is like a kid’s playroom. My husband needed a root canal and he was very happy — yes happy! — with the experience and the specialist they referred him to. I have had many check ups where no treatment was needed — unlike other dentists who always seem to find something expensive to do. What more can I say? From the lovely receptionist and business office accountants to the high level of professional care, I can’t imagine a better dental center.

Dr. Parsons and his staff are the best in LA! I came here for the first time in 2006 at the recommendation of a friend and I can’t imagine ever going to another dentist as long as I live in the area. It’s even worth making the trek from West Hollywood. Appointments are fairly easy to get, the administrative staff is extremely friendly and easy to work with, the hygienists are polite and not too tough on you if you forget to floss, and Dr. Parsons himself is just lovely — very gentle when doing filling work (I’ve never had a root canal or other extensive surgery, so I can’t speak about that). I can say that I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here and that I plan on taking my fiancé here for his extensive dental needs. ;)

dr parsons and dr sherman (also at family dentistry) were the first dentists i went to after moving to los angeles for college. i had to have a root canal and they squeezed me in immediately (and even came in on a saturday!) for me. it’s funny to hear horror stories of root canals, because the worst part for me was before i went to the dentist — i had no pain during or after the procedure.
i moved to the other side of town since graduating, but i would probably still drive all the way over there if they were in-​network with my company’s insurance. they are right down the street from otis and loyola maramount if you need a dentist!
