Patient Testimonials

I never thought I could have a pleasant experience at a dentist, but I'm actually looking forward to going back to Dr. Goff.
Her chairside manner is very soothing and friendly and she really takes the time to get to know you.
You can tell she takes a lot of pride in her work. Highly recommended!

I have been a patient of Dr. Goff's for nearly 3 years and I really cannot say enough great things about her! When her practice no longer carried my dental insurance, I changed my insurance just so that I could remain her patient. I have always been happy with the care I received and I strongly recommend her to anyone who is seeking state of the art cosmetic or general dentistry and exceptional customer service. She is highly skilled and professional, yet also compassionate and easy to communicate with.

I had always been uncomfortable with my smile and recently made the decision to do something about it. Dr. Goff and her staff were amazing! They were so patient with me and explained every step of the process. I was very concerned about the cost but with the many flexible payment options her practice offers they were able to accommodate my budget. I know that I received the highest quality of care and the proof is in my beautiful new smile! People compliment me all the time now on my "perfect teeth". I feel so much more confident and happy. Dr. Goff really changed my life. I urge anyone considering cosmetic dentistry to come by her office and view the book of smiles, containing before and after pictures that demonstrate her super cosmetic work.

I am so happy that I was referred to Dr. Goff by a colleague a few years ago. My experience with other dentists in Santa Monica has not been pleasant and as a result of lots of bad dental work (from supposedly reputable and expensive dentists) I had become a total dental phobic and very cynical of dentists. I used to be so so nervous and shake so badly when I got into the dental chair that the overhead light would swing about! I don't know what it is about Dr.Goff but she is very calming and I feel safe in her hands, Marsha at the front desk sets the tone for your visit, she has a beautiful smile that puts you totally at ease the minute you walk in the super clean, state-of the-art office ( I love high tech gadgets, and she has them all).

Going to the dentist is no longer the horrific experience it used to be, a month ago Dr. Goff took out 3 wisdom teeth and 2 other teeth and put in bone grafts in readiness for dental implants in a couple of months. I cannot believe I went through that in one visit (I did have oral sedation and nitrous oxide) because a few years ago there was no way I would have agreed to any of that. How far along I have come with Dr. Goff!

So if you are a dental chicken, scaredy cat, dental phobic whatever you want to call it, you should go to Dr.Goff and experience her magic. Whenever Dr. Goff tells me that I, or my kids need some work done, I never feel like she is out to rip me off or I need a second opinion. You can trust Dr.Goff, you are going to get a great vibe from her. Stick with your gut and run away from those shady dentists!

I am ecstatic with the service I have been receiving from Dr. Goff since at least 2002. Dr. Goff is a true health professional. While the eyes may be the gateway to the soul and your smile even the gateway to one's heart, the truth is that the condition of the teeth and mouth is a good indicator of overall health.
I grew up in a family of doctors and dentists who all started to retire in the 1990's and I seriously neglected my teeth and visited no physicians for quite a while when I was in my 20's and 30's.

Among the first things that Dr. Goff did was look in my mouth and ask when I had last seen my family doctor.
You would be surprised how many times a dentist can help diagnose serious health problems just from the condition of your mouth. As a result, I not only ended up seeing Dr. Goff regularly, but also my family physician and both my smile and health have improved. I will definitely live longer with my teeth intact.

Dr. Goff has some of the finest training a dentist can get and she has not only mastered cosmetic dentistry, but also the care of teeth that are in dire condition as a result of neglect or disease.
This kind of experience is what a seek from a family dentist for my wife and child.
I have a dentist who not only keeps my smile looking good, but who checks for any sign of dental or medical problems each time she checks my mouth. That's what real dentists do.

In the meantime, Dr. Goff's staff has been extremely sweet and helpful in dealing with insurance billing and payment the whole time. 
I actually "enjoy" visiting the dentist's office and look forward to it - as much as anyone can - because I know the overall visit will be both pleasant and professional. 
The cost after insurance coverage has always been reasonable and I can definitely say I take care of myself better than I did as a young man when my family members all began to retire. 
Go see Dr. Goff and make sure you are in good health!

The best dentist ever! 5 Star Rating - World class

This was the best dentist experience that anyone could hope for. The front desk was extremely nice and there was no wait.
The office was extremely clean and the assistant was very thorough.
Dr. Goff spent time asking questions and even found a jaw problem that had been overlooked by dentists for years. 
This was a pain free experience and I left thinking that I could come back.

PROS: Great doctor and front desk staff
CONS: None

I have never been as pleasantly surprised with the encounter of a new dental referral as I was in Dr. Yvonne Goff. Her gentleness combined with her expertise is evident from the first visit. I was in need of a dental crown and without pain or distress, that crown was in place within a week.

Furthermore, not only is her offive "state of the art". and most assuredly the newest equipment dentistry has to offer, but the remarkable serenity made each visit gratifiying. Marsha, Juan, Cynthia and her accomplished staff. assisted me and my family with utmost efficiency and ease. We will always be loyal patients of Dr. Goff

This woman is great! 5 Star Rating - World class
I had two crowns done, and they came out perfect. She is into teeth, I mean, like, she lives teeth.
It's her vocation AND her hobby so she's twice as smart. I got to wear headphones and listen to Pink Floyd.
The office is immaculate, the office staff are really nice. Painless!
