SmileStart Associates

I've been coming here for 25 years and wouldn't go anywhere else for dental procedures. Dr. Shapiro is the best! He's kind and compassionate and always puts me at ease during visits. The staff is also amazing and kind, making the entire experience great!

Dr Shapiro is the best. Been here for 13 years and I appreciate the clean office, friendly staff and high-quality expertise provided at a value. Rosa, my dental hygienist is great and always helps me feel comfortable. Really awesome people.

First thing you notice coming in to SmileStart is a very clean modern office. The dentist and staff really care, listen, and explain everything clearly. Dr. Shapiro is always striving to improve and brings cutting edge practices to his patients. They are using a new completely painless pen injection, which is a game changer for someone like me who has an issue with needles. The office is always available for emergencies and replies even on nights and weekends. Highly recommend!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shapiro’s office for years, even making the drive from Seattle / LA to Glendale because the care is worth it. His team is consistently welcoming, professional, and makes every visit smooth. I’ve referred friends here, and they continue to come back too, which says a lot. What stands out most is how much you can trust the team—you always feel looked after, never rushed. And the location makes the trip even better, with plenty of great lunch spots and Porto’s nearby. Highly recommend Dr. Shapiro and his team.

Dr. Shapiro and his staff are amazing. It starts with their personal touch and care, to great service and prices. I went in to a consultation and stayed for the last few years! Ask for Rosa the hygienist, you’ll have a bright smile and a laugh 😃
