I couldn't recommend Dr. Nalbandian more! I'm not a huge fan of the dentist as it is, but I had the best experience imaginable with her. She was a clear communicator, answered all my questions, and spent extra time with me, going above and beyond to give me the best care possible. I'm so grateful to have found her - 5 stars!

I highly recommend this dentist. As a patient who has not had the greatest experience, it was nice to come across someone who cares to listen to your needs and concerns. The staff was very friendly and professional. The direct dentist to patient treatment was greatly appreciated. It is a nice and clean establishment.

I can’t say enough good about Dr Nalbandian and the practice. She explained everything so well and I felt completely safe there. I have a bit of anxiety seeing a dentist. But Dr Nalbandian and her team were so kind and really helped ease my anxiety so much.
Amazing bedside manner and amazing care all round.
I was seen quickly and felt like I was in the best of care the entire time. I look forward to future appointments here.

I had such an amazing experience at Dr. Nalbandian’s office. Its rare for me to go to the dentist
and leave feeling calm and willing to come back for another visit. I appreciate the attention to
detail and time that the staff put into taking good care of me. I never felt pushed or ‘sold’ they
were very upfront and honest.
More than 1 year agoCC
I am so happy I found this dentist and this office. Truly exceptional care. It’s conveniently across from Costco (I ran errands in the area afterwards), and the office is bright and clean on the inside. There was no wait for my appointment and I was seen right on time. The hygienist was professional and friendly, and I loved Dr. Nalbandian. She did a great job of establishing rapport, was gentle on my teeth and gums and checked in with me to make sure it didn’t hurt, and she was thorough and efficient. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment which was already made and I’m really happy to have care established here now. It was such a positive experience for me — can’t say enough good things about my appointment.

Amazing office and staff. Everyone I interacted with was sweet and attentive and the appointment was very no nonsense and cut and dry. Dr. Nalbandian was wonderful and calm and talkative but a great listener. Great appointment!

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Nicole as my dentist. Her honesty and clarity in her approach to dental care truly set her apart. In particular, what stood out for me was her unwavering professionalism.
Prior to finding Dr. Nicole, I had a rather unpleasant experience with a dentist in Mission Hills who recommended two fillings and a deep cleaning. What troubled me was that the same dentist had recommended the same procedures for my wife, leading to a loss of trust in their judgment.
Upon the recommendation of several individuals who praised Dr. Nicole for her integrity, I decided to seek her expertise. To my delight, her assessment was refreshingly different. Dr. Nicole not only confirmed that I didn't have any cavities but also assured me that a deep cleaning was unnecessary.
This experience left me genuinely impressed by her commitment to providing honest and transparent dental care. Dr. Nicole has become my go-to dentist.

I became a patient of Dr. N about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. I feel like I finally found an honest dentist that doesn't try to upsell me with treatment I don't need and genuinely cares about my health. Great office and team, I will be sending me friends and family to her.

Amazing compassionate Dentist, very knowledgeable and gentle, she is really caring and takes away any anxiety one could have from dentists, I've never felt this calm in a dentist chair, I highly recommend Dr Nalbandian, you could not ask for a better dentist, thank you Dr Nalbandian, you are an amazing dr.
More than 1 year agoSN
I have been terrified of the dentist for YEARS. Like horrible anxiety driven by endless dreams of losing all my teeth. Dr. Nalbandian has made going to the dentist not suck, which is a huge step for me. You can tell she actually cares about you as a patient and develops a treatment plan based on what you actually need.
I literally hadn't seen a dentist for over 5 years before seeing Dr. Nalbandian and she didn't make me feel bad about it. That may sound silly but it was a big hurdle for me. She's super professional while still being really kind. Highly recommend her to anyone!
