Smiles on Clark

If you need a dentist you need to go here. Doctor and staff are great and you wait while they make your crown so you don’t have to go for another visit. You won’t be disappointed with their service ! :)

MOST AMAZING DENTIST EVER. As a child into adolescence I experienced a few traumatic events with other dentists that made me terrified of going to the dentist. The result was I neglected my teeth for many years and suffered dental damage. Although I live two hours away in Monterey, when the time came I could not neglect my teeth any longer I went to Dr. Waked because my mom lives in Orcutt and I have had nothing short of an amazing experience. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY PAIN ANY TIME while under Dr. Waked’s care and have had a root canal and other procedures that with other dentists were traumatic. I live humbly yet can afford his prices and as long as he is in practice I will continue to travel just to have him as my dentist.

After trying more than one dentist in town, there is no one like Dr. Waked and his staff. I have years of dental work to catch up on and I wouldn’t trust any other dentist. From his front office to his assistants, you won’t find anyone better. I have a lot of anxiety with dental work and Dr. Waked is patient and kind, always making sure I am comfortable. I recommend Dr. Waked with complete confidence.

The office staff is amazing. If your worried about over paying for your dental treatments, they work great with you to ensure everything works out.

I’ll be upfront and honest here, I don’t even like going to the dentist for a cleaning. That said, I was very stressed when Dr. Waked told me I required a root canal.
The procedure was quick, relatively comfortable and painless.

I have a ton of anxiety about going to the dentist. As a kid I had an accident that resulted in an extraction and I also had tons of torturous orthodontic work done. Did I mention that i had to have my wisdom teeth extracted with only local anesthesia while pregnant? See the cause for the anxiety? I’ve procrastinated a lot and now, I’m paying for it. Fortunately, my mom recommended that I come to Smiles on Clark and I can honestly say I look forward to coming to the dentist now. Theresa was super gentle during my cleaning and explained everything she was doing. Dr. Waked was also very gentle and understanding. The office staff, Jennifer and Shawna worked wonders to squeeze me in during an emergency. They are all wonderful. I will continue to drive 1.5 hours to come to this office, they are top notch.

I used to hate going to the dentist until I found this place :) I don’t even live in Orcutt but prefer it by far over any others in my town. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, I and my husband were remembered since the very first day we walked in. Super great working around your schedule and your needs. Theres never a wait. It alnost feels like you are the only one there. Thats how quick it ia. I always walk out feeling bigger brighter smile :) literally. Highly recommended!

My children have been going to Dr. Waked for awhile and he is wonderful with them. They always look forward to their appointment. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I finally decided to make an appointment for myself. I had to get a root canal. I was scared and anxious. Dr. Waked understood and explained everything in detail. Took my fears away. It was the most pleasant experience (considering what I was there for). He was fast but efficient. This was the first time I didn’t have to ask for more shots to numb the tooth. I did not feel a thing. I definitely will continue to see him and refer him to my friends.

Our daughter was in desperate need of braces and after prior visits to other dentists with different procedural advice to address the needs of our daughter, we found smiles on Clark to be the perfect place to have her braces done. No surgery, no hassles. Friendly staff and a great dentist. We’ll definitely recommend smiles on Clark to anyone in need of a great dentist.

I had always held off on going to the dentist, until I found this place. I love the staff and Dr Waked is very friendly. Now my daughter and husband goes here. We are all happy we found a place where we can feel comfortable and well taken care of.

Love this place. We no longer live in Orcutt, but continue driving there for my dental needs. Dr. Waked is amazing both as a dentist professional and a person. He is very personable and his manner is very soothing. I like that he has high standards for himself and will work until he is happy with the results — it translates into high quality work and patient satisfaction. Oh yeah, and their equipment is insane — I got to watch my permanent crown being made in front of my eyes in under 20 minutes! I also like the reminder calls from the office — my life is hectic at times and it is nice to be reminded that a cleaning is due, etc.

I have been seeing Dr Waked since he was the director of UCLA Venice clinic and he has done amazing job for me and his recommendation were always great. I have continued to see Dr Waked even after he left UCLA and established his own practice in Orcutt. The drive from LA is a bit long however knowing that me and my 4 year old son are in safe hands is much more important then that.
I highly recommend Dr Waked he is great and patient with what he does and his staff are extremely helpful and professionals

I love this dentist. Dr. Waked is great with my kids. He is able to do procedures painlessly and the cost has been reasonable taking into consideration our poor dental plan. I will continue to use him for all my familys dental work.
