Elli Abtahi, DDS

Dr. Elli and her staff, especially Stacy the hygientist are excellent. They are both very gentle and have a great patient rapport. I am a physician an understand how stressful it can be to see many patients, yet the whole staff always has a smile on their faces and a warm welcome. Dr. Elli has allowed me to bring my twin daughters in to my appointments to get them used to the dentist and the office before they need their own actual appointment. ABOVE and BEYOND!

Dr. Elli Abtahi and hygienist Stacy are both super fabulous! Thorough, friendly, professional practice. Beautiful office space… feels light, comfortable and relaxed.

These people are not my regular dentist, but are closer than my regular dentist, so when a porcelain veneer popped off, I went to these guys to have it reattached. They told me they could not reattach it permanently, but that they could attach it firmly enough until i could get in to see my regular dentist. i had a conference i was attending and didn’t have time to go to my regular dentist. i thought i was saving myself some time… The veneer popped off again after 18 hours, and i was eating very carefully. Not only did they refused to reattach it for free or refund my money, but they said it was my fault that it popped off in the first place and that by paying them to attach it in the first place, i somehow agreed to not hold them responsible to do good work. Be aware of this when you’re looking for a good dentist.

Dr. Abtahi and Stacy the hygienist are great. Dr. Abtahi is very friendly and thorough and she is especially great with our kids, who actually now LOVE to go to the dentist… that alone speak volumes! :) I highly recommend her!

I had the worst experience with this dentist and her entire office. I wouldn’t send my worst enemy here. Went in for a filling she was sent to get a root canal, which is obviously fine, in the process has a root canal retreat, well when I went back to her she insisted I get an entire new crown which I was told I didn’t need! She did a horrible «patch» job, got very snotty with me, wouldn’t do the work I asked for and her staff is extremely rude!!! STEER CLEAR!!!

The best, enough said.

Dr. Elli is awesome and so is her team!
I have been going to this dentist for about 3 years now, and have always had such a great experience. The staff is so friendly!
Stacy, the hygienist, is great and very good at the art of making conversation without making it totally awkward for you while you’re sitting there with your mouth wide open. I appreciate this because I used to go to a dentist where the hygienist would always be asking me questions and I’d be like, «exactly how does she expect me to answer this?» as I’m blubbering a bunch of gibberish with my mouth gaping open… anyway…Stacy is awesome.
The best thing about Dr. Elli is that whenever you get work done she makes a house call that evening to see how you’re doing, make sure everything is okay, and remind you of any further instructions. I was totally caught off guard the first time this happened because I’ve never had any kind of doctor do this, but it is so nice!
You also can’t beat the location, the office is in a residential area of Laguna Beach, so at least while you’re going through the hell of getting your teeth drilled there is a calming ocean breeze blowing through the room :)

This dentist is one of the best, she is very comforting and takes her time with you… Stacy the hygienist is so caring and the front offic manager Jodie is there to help you with appoitments and billing… I have recommended this dentist to serveral of my friendss and they are now long time patients… check it out, where else can you go and view the ocean in a cottage and have your teeth checked up on…
