David Canale, DDS

I really liked coming to this Dentist. I am in agreement with the quality of work with the reviews here however I was unfairly terminated as a patient at this office for «missed appointments.»
The first missed appointment, the Dr. called me himself to let me know there was a power outage in his office and we would need to reschedule. Why I am being held accountable for this as a missed appointment? This is not my fault. To top it off, the office reschedules my appointment without notification until 4 days prior to the appointment. Since I did not confirm or check my messages until the weekend, they counted this as another missed appointment. WTF!!! The office claims they sent a letter of notification which I did not receive. Again, I agree with the quality of work but I am extremely disappointed at the unfair treatment and poor customer service.

The nicest doctor and staff I’ve ever met at a dentist’s office! Fast, efficient, so sweet and just all around great! Definitely recommend!

Dr. Canale is a really good dentist — one I have quickly grown to trust. I recently broke a bridge and he was willing to see me on a Saturday evening to put in a temporary and then tonight, seemlessly put in the final bridge. High quality, honest and cost effective. Can’t ask for much more. Thank you Dr. Canale and Christie (his incredibly efficient office manager)!

I can’t say enough good of Dr. Canale. I was also impressed to receive calls from him, and he does all his own work. He’s great with my two young kids. They want to go to his office! It’s a relief to find a highly competent, caring dentist who obviously has my family’s best interests at heart. I grew up having a ‘small town high tech dentist ’ as a father, and was disenchanted that so many other dentists I tried are trying to fill my mouth with unnecessary work to finance their expensive offices, machinery and bank accounts! Dr Canale is a great modern antidote to the ‘big office’ dentist.

An «old fashioned» dentist (he does the cleaning! Not a hygienist.) Modern equipment & X-​rays. Was very gentle and thorough.
I have a hard time flossing & he suggested several techniques that are actually working! I’m impressed.

Thanks for seeing us on such short notice! And for working with us on a cash payment. Dr. Canale saves the day.

I’m going to start by saying I have huge dentist hang ups, but Dr. Canale breaks that mold and broke my fear. He’s wonderful! He takes his time if you’re nervous and has a wonderful calm demeanor. His work is fantastic… my teeth are happy too! And his office manager Christy is perfect! She’s such a joy to work with!
My daughter went to Dr. Canale for the first time yesterday and she loved him and Christy as well!
I recommend him beyond words! He’s our dentist for life!

Dentists are often kept at bay unless I have an emergency. When my crown became lose and on the verge of falling out, I had no choice but to seek a dentist out. I have been like a nomad wandering from dentist to dentist. Adding insult to my fear of dentists, I could not find one decent one that was a Delta Dental in-​network dentist. They were all «Premier» which translates to out of pocket expense. I turned to Unilocal and found Dr. Canale.
He is patient, professional, gives me a courtesy laugh at my stupid comments and most of all, has my favorite shows on TV! Seriously, he is everything that has been described about him here on Unilocal.
He is a Lone Ranger and does it all with out an assistant. But who cares? He gets the job done! Christie at the front office is fabulous as well! A note to the wise: do not cancel your appointment or there will be a wait! As I said he works alone, and can’t ship you off to another! But it’s worth the wait!

Dr. Canale is hands down the best Dentist I have ever visited. I even made my husband switch over to him because I was so impressed with the level of service. He is extremely patient and kind.
Dr. Canale *really is* worth all the five star reviews here on Unilocal.
A dentist who is funny, warm, makes you feel comfortable and at home. A dentist who asks YOUR opinions, asks you what YOU think you need done, asks what you WANT done, and only after that, gives his opinion. A dentist who doesn’t make you feel rushed, makes sure to ask several times if you have any other questions –That is Dr. Canale. He seems to genuinely love doing what he does. I felt like I won the dentist lotto the first time I met this guy.

Dr. Canale is a great dentist! I’m extremely anxious when it comes to dental procedures. I had to get my first cavity filled and he was so great with me! I had to have him stop a few times and he was very kind about the whole thing. I’d definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a kind and honest dentist!

Dr. Canale is great. He does his own cleaning and takes the time to educate. He also has been great with my son. The first visit went great and my son keeps asking when we can go back.

Dr. Canale is the best dentist we have found in 20 years of living in the Simi Valley/​Moorpark area. He is very gentle, both of my kids love him. I’ve only had cleanings there and he was great (does his own cleaning). My daughter had a chipped molar filled last week and it went very smoothly. My son had to have a filling about a year ago and he was afraid it would be really painful. Dr. Canale was very patient and in the end the work was done and my son became his biggest fan.

Dr. Canale is THE most wondeful dentist I have ever visited. He is professional, highly qualified, extremely up-​to-​date, conscientious, understanding, compassionate, convenient, and reasonable. He was able to schedule same-​day appointments for both my niece and I. He actually called me on the phone himself to discuss what it was I needed. When I got to the office, he put my fears at ease and treated me like a person, spending time with me, unknown in offices that overbook their doctors. He explained what was happening to me during the procedure and checked in with me to see if I was okay. I felt like I had gone back in time to a little town in the country, when doctors were a part of the community and cared about and went out of their way to take care of the people in that community. I gladly paid cash and did not feel like I would have to auction off a kidney to cover the expense. I have already referred him to family, friends and even strangers. After nightmares with insurance, assembly line dentists, and bad workmanship, he is, simply, THE BEST.
