We took the hour drive up to Simi Valley from LA just for Dr. Hart. When we found out he moved to a different practice, there's no question we had to follow him wherever he went.

Dr. Hart is amazing as always. His gentle, honest and human approach is what has kept us his patients for life. The ladies at the office are equally amazing. Receptionist was warm and friendly. The hygienists were thorough too, so much so I thought I was done after they scaled my teeth-- I would have been happy with the way my teeth felt after the hygienists worked on them. But, then Dr. Hart came in, and boom! My teeth were even more glamorous.

THANK YOU!!!

I came in I couldent find it at first . When i did see the building looked old. Inside was really nice. There customer service was 100 percent. They were concerned cause i waited a little long. They also offered me if they can charge my phone . They kept checking if I was ok, even the dentist said he is going to see me fast and quickly. I got called but before I did I used the bathroom . The bathroom is really clean and smells good. The office is well kept and smells good also. Dr Hart apologized again for the wait. They x rayed. My teeth and let me listen to pandora any station I wanted to I put it on hip hop. They didnt care even if it explicit that was cool. I told him my tooth hurt and the experience I had at a previous dentist. He said well you have a hole in your tooth like me fill it he did and set me off no charge. Very nice and polite. I loved the office how they treat their patients. A+

Going to the dentist is something I've always hated. Something about the sound of the drills makes me cringe.

I called Dr. Hart's office to make an appointment for a check-up and cleaning and they were able to give me an appointment the very next day. When I arrived at the office, I waited no more than 15 minutes to be called in for my appointment.

Rosa took my X-rays and did my cleaning. She did a great job and made sure to tell me exactly what she was doing at each step, creating a sense of comfort. Dr. Hart came shortly afterward to check my teeth. He saw that I had a cavity and was able to fill it right then and there. He said that numbing would not be necessary since the cavity was not deep, but he assured me that if I felt extreme pain at any point, that I should let him know so he could go ahead and numb my gums. He filled my cavity with minimal discomfort on my end. I also told him that my teeth have been sensitive lately, so he gave me a high fluoride toothpaste to see if that would help.

I was in and out of the office within an hour and ten minutes! Dr. Hart and his staff are truly wonderful. I highly recommend them.

I've been here 3 times now and had a positive experience every time. Dr. Hart does a great job of numbing for procedures and overall I'm very happy with how comfortable I've been. At my last dentist, the injections always hurt and the numbness would wear off during the procedure. Here, I'm topically numbed well prior to injections and I'm staying numb through the entire procedure.

When you pull up, the outside of the building doesn't look very nice (it's in a strip mall), but the inside is modern and very clean. There's a roku tv at every chair, which is a nice touch.

DR. Hartounian at Dental Center of Simi Valley is the best. I had a $20,000 Dentist bill and was literally sick from my teeth... They helped me with My insurance it's down to about $5800 & got me better!! They are A+++ gave me options & actually helped me with a very serious infection on VERY short notice.. Yea... it's just a dentist visit to most people... Not me and Not them. Thankfully working with them has been A-OK and they have The Gas (Could NEVER do it without it).. I would Fly here from Montana for appointments if I had to!

Dr. Hart and his staff are very welcoming. I like to call him Dr. Painless. He insists on making you feel comfortable, not only by his work ethic, but he has Netflix and TVs in every station.. His equipment is up to date and digital. If you or your children are terrified by dentists then come to Dr. Hart, it doesn't get any better than him.. SERIOUSLY....Glenn R.

"OK, so this is a long one. Bear with me. My mouth is a mess. It's going to take a shit ton of money to fix it and that's overwhelming and the reason why I've put it off is because I haven't found a dentist I can trust. Until I met Dr. Hart. My co-worker recommended him to me a few months ago, and I went in for a routine checkup and upon meeting him, I felt immediately at ease and trusted him instantly. Finally, I've found my dentist soulmate (don't you wish dating was this easy in LA lol).

Over the years, I've heard from other dentists I've seen say stuff like you need a crown, you need fillings now, extraction now, you have to do this now or you'll die blah blah and I just never trusted them or I felt they were trying to take advantage of me.

Dr. Hart broke down the things I needed that were immediate and the things that I could wait for. His receptionist team are amazing, they work with your insurance, break down the costs, even give you follow up calls to make sure you're feeling OK. Dr. Hart expresses urgency but in a way of a concerned tooth fairy, not a greedy person trying to make money fast. I never felt the pressure with him which is why I go to him because I know that he actually CARES about my wreck of a mouth.

Dr. Hart told me I needed a root canal, something I've been putting off because of the horror stories I've heard and the cost. I finally bit the bullet and got it done and OMG... my first root canal was a PLEASANT experience. The whole time he was telling me that I was doing a great job and apologizing TO ME for it hurting (totally not his fault, it's a freaking root canal, it'll probably hurt), his bedside manner is impeccable. That's why I keep coming back to him.

This is getting long, but there's one more story I'm sharing and then I'm done. I'm leaving the country in a few days for vacation and my stupid bottom left wisdom tooth decided to grow in (all my sympathy goes to teething babies now) and it was hurting to simply eat. I purchased Orajel and was going to just deal with it when I got back, but the receptionist (think her name is Dana) insisted I come in the next day first thing just so he can take a look.

I see him and he takes a look at my mouth and says I'm going to need to go to an oral surgeon when I get back. I whine, "All I wanna do is eat all the pasta in Italy. It kinda hurts to chew, can I use gauze?" Immediately, he is sympathetic, calls me poor baby, takes another look in my mouth at my upper wisdom tooth and was like, "Hey, I can shave down your crown so it's not pushing up against your cheek." EUREKA! My mouth immediately felt better. I ate later that day and I wasn't in pain for the first time in days.

How freaking sweet is that?!? Just so I can eat pasta, he goes in and gives me a fix so I can enjoy my trip. He's just such a kind person, I seriously cannot rave enough about him. I want everyone to go to him, but then I don't want everyone to go to him because he won't have time for my mess of a mouth. This practice is top notch and I cannot recommend him enough. If I could give them a million and one stars, I would.

OK, all done, byeeee!"

I had the most INCREDIBLE tooth pain in one upper and one lower molar. The pain was UNBEARABLE and can confidently say it was the worst pain I have ever been in...even my tongue grazing against my tooth would send me shooting through the roof. BIG PROBLEM: I was leaving the country the next day for a week!! Dr. Hart squeezed me in immediately that same day after speaking with me over the phone. I was absolutely pain free when he was done (Besides being a little sore from holding my mouth open and being poked at for a little). I was SO worried that I would have had a ruined trip from the pain, but I was pain free!! I really couldn’t believe the difference. It was night and day!! Would definitely recommend him and his office to anyone who is in need or dental work or is scared of the pain. This Dr and office is Great. Oh yeah and you can watch Hulu or Netflix or listen to Pandora while getting your work done!!!!!!

"Honestly, best dentist I've been to in my life, and I've lived all over the country!! Dr. Hart was thorough as well as friendly - considerate of pain and my sensitive teeth, while fixing things other dentists have ignored in the past (like 2 chipped teeth!) Costs are very reasonable and the office staff/dental assistants are friendly and helpful! I received a flier in the mail, after having needed to scout out a dentist on my own. After researching the places in my general vicinity, I found that Toluca Dental Studio seemed to have the best reviews, and pictures of the interior, and, as the flier indicated, free teeth whitening offer as a bonus! I called and made an appointment - my first time through, they cleaned my teeth, put in *several* necessary fillings, as well as perfected my chipped teeth (been that way since childhood). My follow-up visit the next week, they polished my teeth and fit me for a nightguard (as apparently, I grind my teeth at night) and had me in and out in under an hour so I fit it into my workday lunch break! I return tomorrow for my custom-fit whitening trays (FREE!!) and nightguard. Looking forward to returning back in six months for regular cleaning and embracing my healthier smile :)!"

"This is a fabulous dental practice and Dr. Hart is extremely good with people, an excellent "bedside manner". Everyone in the office is friendly from the moment you walk in. I am a bit of an anxious dental patient, and am always a bit nervous when choosing a dentist. I had a relatively difficult experience recently at a different dentist which left me particularly susceptible. But here, they really do every small thing to put you at ease. I recommend this practice and Dr. Hart to everyone!"

"Let me start out by saying that I am terrified of going to the dentist and I don't just mean I get nervous, I have literally cried every time I have gone due to bad experiences. It's been hard for me to find a dentist I can trust. I have poor genetics and my teeth have always had issues even though I brush and floss twice a day. Yesterday, after multiple tries and failures with other dentists I had an appointment at Toluca Dental.

The receptionists and assistants did an amazing job to make sure I was informed when my appointment was, what my payment would be after insurance and the whole process I was going through. (This is so rare! I've been stuck with bills before due to receptionists at other offices telling me I was covered and not double checking) I feel like the ladies at Toluca dental did everything they could to make me feel comfortable and informed.

As for my dentist, Dr. Hart, I couldn't be more thrilled. I told him I was nervous and he made every attempt to make me feel comfortable and make the whole situation light hearted. I was a bit worried that this would mean there was a lack in actually dentistry and I couldn't have been more wrong! In one day I had 5 fillings, a deep clean and a temporary crown put on (which looks identical to my old tooth!) it was almost painless! I thought I would be more sore to be honest! The next day I got a call from reception to see how I was doing. It's hard to believe but i can't even tell I had ANY work done. No pain, no swelling and I can barely tell it even happened. My teeth feel better then they have in years. For a busy mom that's a big deal!

As for the pricing, it was better then any other place I've gone and they use all the latest equipment. Thank you Toluca dental!

I recommend this place to anyone looking for a new dentist!"

"As a new resident to the 818 I needed to find a new dentist. I always drive by this office on my way to one of my favorite Thai spots Rustic Spoon. I decided to finally give them a call and set an appointment and see what they are all about! From the moment I walked in I felt at home thanks to Jessica and her funny jokes! Then Estephania called me in to take some X rays which I hate doing, but she killed it and made the X-rays go by very smooth. Now I was passed on to Dr. Hart and his assistant Stephanie. Dr. Hart throughly broke down all the X-rays to me and explained exactly what needed to be done to my teeth. He went on to do an amazing job with my cleaning and also filling a cavity on one of my front teeth. Then Stephanie finished it of with a solid polish and took my impressions for my whitening strips! Stephanie was so sweet and full of joy! An overall great experience and happy to have found my new home for dental work in the 818 !"

I don't like going to the dentist like most people. This was the absolute best dental experience I've ever received. I was referred to them through 1800dentist and went there for an infected tooth and had it extracted and a bone implant placed in. I experienced no pain not even with the injection. Best experience I've ever had and I was really nervous going now I'm excited to go to other check ups etc!
