⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Pediatric Dentist — A True Lifesaver! We had an incredible experience with Dr. Laleh Vakili, and I can't recommend her highly enough. After some truly upsetting experiences with previous pediatric dentists — including one who wanted to put my daughter under general anesthesia for five supposed cavities (which turned out not to be true) — we were desperate to find someone honest, kind, and competent. Enter Dr. Vakili, who was all that and more. She was able to see us on short notice, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in the right hands. Her entire team — from the front desk staff to the hygienists — was warm, professional, and incredibly well-organized. The atmosphere is welcoming and child-friendly without being over-the-top, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Dr. Vakili took her time to explain everything clearly, gave my daughter a thorough exam, and quickly realized that the previous treatment plan was not only unnecessary but completely overblown. She addressed all of my daughter’s dental needs in a single visit, with incredible care and attention to detail. It is rare to find a healthcare provider who is both technically excellent and completely trustworthy, but Dr. Vakili is exactly that. If you’re looking for a pediatric dentist who will treat your child with integrity and compassion — and not push unnecessary procedures — this is the one. I only wish we had found her sooner.

Dr Vakili was recently able to take care of my son's urgent dental need. Her office staff is always nice and accommodating. The office is clean and bright and takes COVID precautions seriously. Dr Vakili herself is very warm and knows how to engage with children to make them comfortable. We take all three kids there and they absolutely love it. Her new office has a spa like ambiance and the best waiting room for kids with books, toys, movie playing and even a little robot doggie. I highly recommend her practice!

This team is amazing! We were at another pediatric dentist’s office that was also very good, but we switched here because it was closer to home. At the time, we were worried about the changeover, but in retrospect, it could not have been a better decision! We highly recommend Dr. Vakili’s team; they are next level.

We absolutely love Dr. Vakili and the entire team! From the moment you walk into the office, the atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and genuinely kid-friendly. Dr. Vakili has a gentle, patient approach that immediately put my child at ease—something that isn’t always easy at the dentist! They explain everything clearly, take the time to answer questions, and treat children with real care and respect. The staff is just as wonderful: kind, efficient, and always smiling. It’s rare to find a place where both the kids and the parents feel so supported.

Patient Review

I’ve been taking my daughter here since she was 2 years old. At first she was apprehensive but after warming up to the assistants, she’s so much better. Dr. Vakili and Dr. Lam are amazing dentists and my husband and I couldn’t be any happier. For us it was hard choosing a dentist especially because we have no insurance but we are willing to pay out of pocket knowing that our daughter is in good hands. We love the new x-ray system that they use, it is a hand held xray machine that limits the amount of radiation that my daughter is being exposed to. Coming to Dr.Vakili’s practice it feels more like we are part of a family other than just being at another health care facility. I highly recommend bringing your children to see Dr.Lam or Dr. Vakili, I’ll definitely be sad the day that my daughter ages out of their office.
