“My experience with Dr Shimanov, Dr Camilla, assistant Richard and front desk staff Eddie and Maria were professional and friendly. They all behaved like human beings and treated me with respect as a human being. All were great people and professionals. I recommend this office without reservations.”
Edward K.July 1, 2026
“Richard took complete thorough x-rays. Dr Shimanov discussed evaluation and treatment plan thoroughly in easily understood language and terms. Dr Patel performed two fillings successfully which I was happy with. All three people were professional and treated me as a person. This includes Maria and Eddie at the front desk for check-in and check-out. ”

I don’t usually enjoy going to the dentist, but Dr. Leo Shimanov actually made the experience surprisingly pleasant. He explained everything clearly before starting and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The treatment was smooth and painless, and the staff was great. Honestly one of the best dental visits I’ve had.
