What patients say about Downey Smile Center
A 4.8 star average from 288 Google reviewers is the headline for Downey Smile Center, but the detail is in what those patients actually describe. The compliments that repeat are about friendly staff and a clean, modern office, and several people bring up gentle and painless care too. These are not vague five star notes either, since patients describe real visits and name wisdom teeth removal and fillings in their comments.
Some patients report 3 plus years with this office, which says more than any ad could. When emergencies happened, patients report the office found a way to fit them in quickly. Few offices keep this tone across so many reviews, and it is the consistency that stands out most.

Got two wisdom teeth pulled in under 10 minutes. I’ll never go anywhere else. These are specialist and they really take care of their patients. They’re extremely nice extremely helpful. They explain everything before they do it and it’s always nice music to calm me down when I come

Dr. Nikjoo and his staff are great! He is also very honest, another dentist told me I had a cavity. The doctor said I didn't and even showed me x-rays to prove it. Be aware of other shady places and always get a second opinion. The prices are reasonable and the office looks nice.
