Gennady Orlovetsky, DDS

Tragically, Dr. Orlovetsky passed away on October 9, 2014. His patients all received a letter stating what happened and that Dr. Dmitry Aminov had purchased the practice. Dr. O was more than my dentist, he was a caring, compassionate honest man. He is missed greatly and my condolences go out to his family.

I got denied by my regular dental office for a cleaning because I’ve already exceeded the number of exams for the year! WTH?! They’ve got them in every profession… I called and asked if they offered free consultations to see if I needed surgery for my Bruxism (night time teeth grinding). I was told they did. So I went in and the doctor asked to look in my mouth then asked who my General Dentist was. So I say «What do you think?» He states «Yes you do grind your teeth.» I said I already know that but I’m here to see if I need surgery or if there is a different way to get rid of my Bruxism, and he says «Oh I am not the specialist.» I said «Well THAT is who I was here to see!» These people are just after money. Running a business is one thing, but taking advantage of people is another altogether! DON’T GET DUPED!

Dr. Orlovetsky is the best!
He is friendly, gentle and explains all details of what work needs to be done as well as the financial. I am nervous in the dental chair and he checked every few minutes to see if I was okay. He took extra care with my root canal and was very thorough with the follow up visits and the final crown.
He has called me personally from his cell phone to check on me and I felt like I could call him anytime if I needed him.
He works with you financially and there is no up-​sell here. He won’t tell you falsely that you have all kinds of work and that you need to come back over and over again.
I highly recommend Dr. Orlovetsky and the Alamo Family Dentistry!

Love this dentist office. So friendly and they do a great job. I was so impressed with my first visit, that I just kept coming back.

I found Dr Orlovetsky very friendly and his staff as well. they treated me with very little pain and did a great job of making me feel comfortable. I will be coming back for further work to be done.

If no one picks up their phone (non-​business hours, busy?, etc)… Dont be surprised if Dr. Orlovesky calls you within a few minutes from his own cellphone and tries to make up an appt thats convenient for you.
Gawd he is so accommodating! He is so good!

This dentist gives dentistry a better name. He replaced all of my silver fillings in 2 appointments. On the first appointment I was nervous because I wasn’t very fond of needles or drilling but the second time, I was excited to get the rest done because he did such a great job! No pain and no awkwardness! He’s very friendly and courteous. In fact, my second appointment was on my BIRTHDAY!!! I could have chosen a different day but it was a present to myself. THAT is how good this guy is! Don’t forget to floss! :)

Whoever is reading this, understand that I write a review only if I am seething with anger or jumping for joy. Obviously, with the 5 star rating, it’s the latter.
I was referred over to Dr Gennady for a set of porcelain veneers. I had about 4 visits with him for the entire process and every one of them got better. He quickly builds rapport, not simply for business reasons, but because he is a great guy. He explains everything he is doing in detail, avoids pain at all costs, is extremely polite, and is very affordable compared to other dentists. My veneers came about better than I expected, all 10 of them. I will now be going to him for all my dental needs in the future.
Also, the previous review about his office assistant simply isn’t fair. Nothing about her is rude.
You need to go in for a free consultation and meet the whole team and see for yourself. Afterwards, you too can then can write a raving review. :)

Can’t give a review for the actual dentist. Didn’t get past the receptionist. Called for some information, and she wouldn’t give any over the phone. Every other dentist’s office I called tried to understand my situation, and provide me with something to go on. This one didn’t speak English very well, and was quite unfriendly and short with me.
The dentist might be great, but I’ll never know :.(

Five stars to Dr. Orlovetsky — he is one of the best dentists in town. Last week I took my 6-​year old son to him. I was quite nervous because my son is a very sensitive boy who is scared of literally everything when it comes to medical field. Dr. Orlovetsky was simply amazing with him, he knows to put kids at ease and distract their attention in a right moment. The whole thing took more than an hour, and when I told my son that we had to go back to in a few weeks to finish with his treatment he was totally fine.
The office staff is very friendly and courteous, they would always find an appointment time that is perfect for you. I live in Studio City and I have tried a few other dentists in our area, but Dr. Orlovetsky is just the best! I highly recommend him to everyone!

Dr. O when you see a whole family going to see Dr. O you have to know that is a good thing. I had been struggling to find a good dentist since i had moved to LA from the Boston area years ago. I have to be honest it was pretty dismal in the past so i had a lot of issues. Instead of being like lets just do this and that he allowed me to choose trust me i have a war zone in my mouth. It helps a lot to have a good connection with your Dentist especially someone that works pretty much by himself and has a staff dedicated to trying to help you achieve your goal. The process he makes it as pain free and if you do feel something well he’s sure to knock it out. The main thing about Dr. O is he cares he takes the time with you and gives you the time you deserve he isn’t just pulling teeth or putting you through some crazy painful process he’s actually there to help his patients that’s important especially in this day in age because i see a lot of people who they see money and that’s all. I went through 5 root canals in one day with another Dentist but with Dr. O he will work with you all the way to get you the results you truly deserve. I highly recommend him! That’s a lot coming from the worlds biggest scardie cat and i HATE going to the Dentist. So this should be 10 stars.

Dental offices don’t get friendlier than Dr. Orlovetsky’s, and this one does great work too.
After moving to Southern California a couple of years ago, I struggled to find a dentist I liked who also did great work. Dr. Orlovetsky is that dentist, and I would recommend him to anyone within driving distance. Dr. Orlovetsky and his staff are all very friendly and conduct themselves with great professionalism. I always felt I was in good hands — every cleaning I had was thorough (something I didn’t always feel with other dentists) and the filling I received as a patient was painless and done well. Even more, the office was willing to work with my insurance company to make sure I got the care I needed without breaking the bank.
I’ve moved out of the area now, and I’m experiencing something I’ve never felt before: sadness at having to leave a dentist. My boyfriend and I both went to Dr. Orlovetsky, and we feel that he and his office genuinely cared about us as people. Make an appointment today, since we don’t have the option anymore.

Dr. Orlovetsky is the best Dentist I’ve known! Very thorough, gives you options, and most of all his work is excellent! His staff is friendly
I had my wisdom teeth removed and cleaning done. It was painless and quick :) My teeth look amazing!!! I highly recommend this dentist!

Trust — it’s a word I don’t take lightly.
Parents may pass many things on to their children: their looks, their mannerisms, their money (or lack thereof), and worst of all — their crappy teeth!!! Unfortunately for me, I was bestowed with the latter. This, combined with my less than optimal dental hygiene has made me an easy mark for every dentist I’ve ever been to. .. and I have seen many. I have been given unsolicited estimates as high as $ 29K promising me a perfect, trouble free smile. The problem is: I have never gone into a new dentist looking for a miracle. Instead, I’m usually there to address the problem that currently exists, usually a cavity. Naturally, I’ve become very cynical of whose interests the dentists I’ve seen are actually serving.
Which brings me to Dr. O. Of course I brought my cynicism with me when I first became a patient of his a few years ago. However, that cynicism quickly dissipated when he actually listened to my needs and discussed several short-​term and long-​term options, many of which involved other dental professionals. Right then I realized this guy wasn’t just in it for the money — what a novel concept!
In the years since, my appreciation for Dr. O has grown and grown. He always strives to make every patient as comfortable as possible — even difficult crybabies like my wife! It’s very obvious this man cares greatly about being good in every aspect of his practice, and not even MY cynical mind can suspect otherwise.
Trust — it’s a word I don’t take lightly.

Dr. O just did two veneers (correct spelling?) for me and they look awesome. I look like a different person — with perftect teeth. Again — no pain. I can’t believe I like my dentist this much.

It took me about 10 years to find the IDEAL dentist: Super-​accommodating, friendly staff, clean/​high-​tech office, flawless work. You could spend hours, days or weeks trying to find your next dentist, but why? Take my word for it and try Dr. Orlovetsky, you won’t be sorry and you’ll wish you discovered him sooner.

Dr. O is the best dentist I’ve ever had. I found him after I had a horrible tooth extraction that was worse than childbirth by another dentist. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous to go to a dentist after that. Dr. O immediately put me at ease. He always explains everything, so even a regular person can understand. He only recommends work that is needed, and never pushes extra treatments. The work is always done in a professional and painless manner. As a bonus, I don’t think I ever needed to wait in the waiting room. The staff is very friendly and wisks you away to a high tech exam room immediately. Also, I like that when I needed to get a filling, I was told that they have absolutely no silver fillings in the office. The office is clean and modern and the rooms are not claustrophobic like in other offices. I drive for 45 minutes to Simi to see him — a dentist like this is well worth going out of my way.

We found Dr. O through the Penny Saver. Our household had 4 teenagers and Mom and Dad. That’s a LOT of teeth to take care of!
Dr. O always greets us with so much care and finds out what is happening before he even looks in our mouth.
He has corrected past work done badly as well.
We do not have insurance and have to pay cash for our visits so it is very important we have a good experience. We’ve been with Dr. Orlovetsky since 2006 and won’t be changing!
We definitely recommend him.

The best dentist in Ventura and Los Angeles County! My dental history is a history indeed. I’ve had everything from braces at the age of 30 to implants and crowns and you name it. Finally, I have found a dentist who gets the job done. You will NEVER hear «My God! Who made this crown for you?! Or who did this to you?!» in Dr. Orlovetsky’s office. If you have a problem, he’ll get it fixed. He is the most professional and knowledgeable dentist I have ever met. The office is very nice, the staff is friendly. Never waiting in line. You will be seen at the time you are scheduled. Well, after my share of bad experiences in dental field I drive from Beverly Hills to Simi Valley and would agree to drive even further for my dental visits. I have never met another dental professional as experienced, caring, and knowledgeable as Dr. Orlovetsky. I highly recommend this doctor to everyone.
