"Dr. Makuta is one of the most trustworthy and caring dentists I have ever been to. I have autoimmune issues that have left my mouth very dry causing lots of damage and decay. She has managed to help me maintain the health of my gums and teeth, and has never taken advantage of my need for intense dental care by over charging or making me spend money on things..." Read more

"Dr Makuta takes the time to ask you more than just basic questions about your dental hygiene. She asked about my over all health and took the time to ask about what was important to me. She is a great dentist and very trustworthy. I'm happy to be a patient under her care."

"I'd like to preface this review by stating how afraid I am of going to the dentist. I was sure I'd continue to have this anxiety for the rest of my life until I met Dr. Makuta. She is amazing! Literally, she walked me through everything she was doing; X-rays, (I got to see them on the screen as she took them) checking my gums, everything. I found out my teet..." Read more

"Dr. Makuta is fantastic and everything you could hope for in a dentist. She was originally recommended to me by my orthodontist after I started my Invisalign treatment. I was so happy with Dr. Makuta that I switched to her as my permanent dentist and moved my family to her practice as well. Dr. Makuta's friendly personality made me feel welcome, and her equa..."

"I saw Dr Makuta yesterday for a crown replacement. She is very competent, kind, patient and thorough. I am always in pain after the dentist (even if all I have had done was a cleaning), but I am happy to report zero discomfort after the procedure. I am thrilled I found her!!"

"Dr Makuta is the best dentist I've ever had. Normally, I come out crying from a routine cleaning but not with her. She is so gentle, I can almost fall asleep. Now she is really honest about her opinions. She will tell you that you don't need it and isn't one to add treatments to line her pockets. She even did some cool treatment to my head when I told her I..." Read more

"I tried out five different dental offices where they were always trying to up-sell me until I found Dr. Makuta's office. Dr. Makuta and the entire staff is honest, patient, kind, and thoughtful. They make sure you understand how to read your x-rays so you know what they're talking about and how to best care for your teeth. I highly recommend this dental offi..." Read more

"I love Dr. Makuta. She really took the time to make me feel welcome and cared for. She went over my X-rays and health in detail. She gave me great advice and recommend a filling I know I need by her showing me on the X-ray. The best part, I'm confident she's honest. I had seen a dentist a few years before that had recommended two fillings and a crown that sh..." Read more

"What can a person say about Dr. Makuta after reading the reviews? Dr. Makuta is a very caring person and it shows when it comes to your dental health. I like the fact that Dr. Makuta doesn't over book patients. When you're in her care the spot light is on you and not two other patients at the same time. I've never had to wait and on occasions got started e..." Read more

"When I first moved to Los Angeles, it was the first time in my 31 years going to a dentist that wasn't my long-time family dentist. I made an appointment with an office I had found online and after showing up and getting (what seemed like over an hour of x-rays by the dental assistant) the dentist walked in. The dentist took a quick look at my teeth and told..." Read more
