★★★★★ 5.0 Kelli Reed · Feb 2026

I like this dentist so much more than any other I have been to. They are great but you have to schedule far out in advance. They were helpful with my treatment plan and I go to them even though they dont take my insurance anymore, they give me decent prices for paying out of pocket and remaining a client. They always remember me, are nice, and I like the Dr. is nice too. I specifically like his technique for injecting novacaine, which causes me anxiety. I just really like them and am happy with the crowns and fillings they have done for me. They do not accept HMO is the one caveat, though. Otherwise, fantastic business.

The best dental care I’ve experienced in three decades The staff is very attentive and extremely quick to respond if/when there’s ever dental emergencies. I know that because they’ve helped me on numerous occasions and they’ve carved out time out of The Doctor’s busy schedule to accommodate helping me. Doctor KARAFIN And his staff go above and beyond for their patients…… And that is something that I have unfortunately never had a chance to experience until I walked into their office and became their patient about a year ago For anybody out, there is looking for a dentist that’s reliable and experienced and extremely intelligent and very good at what they do… I recommend this dental practice with an easy rating of five stars without a doubt. God bless!

I cannot recommend SoCal Smiles enough! I've been a loyal patient for over ten years, and this past Friday, they truly went above and beyond. I broke a crown and called them in a panic, and they managed to fit me in for a same-day appointment. The team was incredibly efficient, and I was in and out in just three hours with a brand-new crown. The fact that they were able to take care of me so quickly, especially right before a weekend, is just a testament to their professionalism and patient care. I am so thankful for their incredible service and have always been impressed with this practice.
