UCLA Venice Dental Center

"I’ve seen a lot of dentists over my years, but Dr. Yunus is by far my favorite. His knowledge and expertise gained from being a part of UCLA’s Advanced Clinical Training in Restorative Dentistry always puts me at ease. His interest in who I am and enjoyable banter made my dental experiences not only bearable, but ones I looked forward to. I know no one looks forward to seeing their dentist, but if you need to get dental work, Dr. Yunus is the guy to see!!!"

"They always pay such attention to detail, especially Ania the student dentist working on me now and all the professors that oversee are so knowledgeable and always give me the best and most excellent results, I couldn’t be happier."

"August 1, 2023 I had an appointment at 10 am as I had lost a filling on my right front tooth. I filled the necessary docs even though I had been there in 2021 When I was called the clerk called out Elena twice. there were about five people in the lobby and I did respond that my name was Eleanor. The clerk went back to verify the name she wanted. It was me, Eleanor. She asked me to sign on a small black screen I asked her what it was and she did respond," didn't you read the paper I had been given "? I am 78 yrs and don't always retain everything I read. Sort of like her calling me the patient by an incorrect name. I was taken to the x ray room and a doctor came to interview me and my reason for being there. She took a look at my missing filling and asked if it hurt, I answered "no" She said today they would just do x rays. I was distressed what about the missing filling and the doctors response was it would be done in about two/2 months! I asked if I should brush around that tooth and dr said yes, because i could get germs in it if i didn't. Because part of my tooth is missing isn't there a great possibility of the tooth breaking or cracking? Dr again said it would be about 2 months because they have lots of patients. Is that standard? Not even an offer of a temporary filling? I got my $54.00 back but left with a hole in my tooth. I don't know where to go because one of the great fears in my life is the dentist. Tomorrow, I have a Pensioners Luncheon and ask if anybody knows a good dentist? Two months wait period is really excessive. What will my tooth be like in two months with a hole in it?"

"I’ve been going to the dental in UCLA Venice for many years. They’re always been very professional very nice . I did two implants with the breach five or six years ago it was amazing ,this year I am doing another three implants with the breach and extraction and I have to say that Dr: Brandon Gibson it was very professional very kind, and such a good doctor . I know he will have a very successful career. like I always say if you find something to do with your life that you love, that is the key of happiness!!! People can tell when you are enjoying what you doing for the energy that you transmit. So whatever you do in life love what you do !!! And he does. Thank you Brandon."
