Dr. Violet Akhondzadeh, DDS

Very VERY happy with the service. She’s super nice and really helpful. I’ve been recommending her to all my friends for the past 8 years (been my dentist for 8 years). Love Violet and her little crew

Had the best experience ever here at the dentist :) I haven’t been to the dentist since I was in middle school and from Dolores at the Front Desk helping me out with everything to the X-​Ray tech Brand Campos witch is my buddy since high school did a great job to Dr. Violet and her assistance made everything comfortable and easy especially when she said she giving me a shot in my gums witch I hate shots didn’t feel anything thanks you guys for everything see you next week for my second half :)
I recommend everyone check her out and go

I highly recommend Dr. Violet. She is very professional and the care I have received from her and her staff has been excellent. Both my husband and I are happy to have found her.

Dr. Violet is great! She really knows what she’s doing, is caring and makes sure you’re comfortable through any procedure. All the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Going to the dentist isn’t always cheap so they have great payment plans and work with what you can do. The neighborhood is great to walk around in too.

I called to make a appointment and talked to a very nice women «Doris» I told her what insurance I had 3 times and she said yes we take that. When I got in there and she took my card and ID. I sat and did the paper work she ask me to fill out and when I was done she told me They did not take my Insurance, But they were having a deal that I could get free Xray and exam. I said what good would that do me if you do not except my insurance how would I pay for it? I was pissed off. I again told her 3 times «Way would you tell me 3 times that you did when you do not. They got me there on false pretense. And when I was there (It should have been my first red flag) The doc calling her and and asking if this or that person had paid. NOT HAPPY. She is all about getting money

I have had nothing but a phenomenal experience with Dr. Violet. From the moment that I walk into a serine waiting room to the point in which she tends to my teeth. She is extremely thorough, gentle and professional when it comes to addressing any and all of our families dental needs. We have been coming to see her for the past 7 years and highly recommend her as the dentist for all of your dental needs. She is family friendly. Doris is the front receptionist that provides a calming atmosphere which makes any visit a fun and enjoyable experience.

Have both my regular check ups and ortho done with Dr. V. Very helpful in answering any and all questions. Appointments are keep on time, no waiting. Very friendly staff led by Doris at front desk. Definitely recommend for all dental needs.

Dr. Violet is great! I had not been to a dentist in a long time, and had a terrible toothache. Since I didn’t have a regular Dentist, I chose the dentist who could see me first, and I lucked out. Dr. Violet could tell I was in a considerable amount of pain and was nice enough to start my root canal that day. She was remarkably gentle and precise when numbing me up, and I didn’t feel a thing throughout the whole procedure. I would recommend Dr. Violet to anybody seeking a new dentist. Her staff is very nice and even if they weren’t I would still come here for Dr. Violet’s competency

I am very happy with Dr. Violet! I had a bit of a nightmare transferring images & xrays from my last Whittier dentist who was going to charge me for that service. When I told Dr. Violet of this, she was wonderful and offered to re-​do the xrays and images in her office FOR FREE. WOW! Needless to say that was a great first impression.
She has been very patient with my obvious fear of dental work, and has a very gentle hand with the needle. Her staff are very friendly and are great at contacting you about your appointment. Very happy!

Very pleasant experience, staff is very friendly and Dr. Violet is a sweetheart. They sent reminder texts of your appointment date, big plus for me, I don’t have to worry about forgetting about it. They are open long hours and I didn’t have to take time off work to make it to the appointment. I’ll bring my teenage daughter and will recommend this little gem uptown Whittier to everyone who needs a dentist.

She was the first and only dentist to offer numbing my gums with Novocaine when I warned her that I was going to be very uncomfortable/​borderline screaming with my teeth cleaning (when the dentists use the high pressure «water-​pick» to take out tartar, this process always feels like ice picks to my gums). Dentists in the past just cleaned my teeth and I stayed in pain, gripping the chair, during the entire cleaning, even though I have told previous dentists the same thing. Now getting my teeth cleaned is NOT a torturous event every 6 months.
As far as I know, she only takes cash or dental PPO (no dental DMO).
However, I always get in and out within one hour of my scheduled appointment. Previously, with my dental DMO, it took at least 3 hours total.
