“Dr Uka was stellar. It’d been awhile since I’d visited the dentist and expressed my worries, but she was reassuring and took time to explain things as she was doing them, as well as, talk through her recommended treatments. The XRay tech (didn’t catch her name) was equally awesome. Big smile and great bedside manner, also taking her time to answer my questions.”

About Dr. Ndidi Uka
Dr. Ndidi Onugha-Uka believes that "the simple act of smiling not only makes you feel better, but look better," and restoring that confidence through smiles is what inspired her to become a dentist.

She then earned her Master of Arts degree in education with an emphasis in psychology from Pepperdine University. Later, she attended the University of Southern California's Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery. Not only is she an active member of the Angel City Dental Society, but she also gives back to the community by feeding the homeless and volunteering at food drives and health fairs. In her spare time, Dr. Onugha enjoys cycling, running marathons, traveling, cooking, and reading. Her dream is to be a successful and great dentist, wife, mother, and daughter while living by the philosophy, "it is with hands and hearts that make the world a little better place."

I had a very good visit. The doctor got right to the point where I was having pain at. She explained everything in details.

1st visit and FYI for others -
I made an appointment for teeth cleaning. Staff recommended a deep cleaning. I did not want a deep cleaning and requested the standard cleaning for today. Staff did not allow me to go basic and stated that they could not deviate from their recommendation. Great staff, but I lost 1 hr 20 mins due to their policy. Filled out multiple pages of paperwork and went through a full set of x-rays.
1st time experience. Entering a dental office for cleaning and exiting the office due to their right to refuse the requested service.

Highly professional and friendly staff. Didn't meet with Ms. Ndidi herself, but the onsite dentist did listen to my concerns regarding some of my recommended treatment plan. I did not wait long to be seen either.

Super friendly and timely staff. Dr. Ndidi took her time to walk me through all my options and provided recommended that my insurance would cover, because I would max out my annual limit.
