Dr. Michael and the whole staff at Westside Pediatric are thoughtful, caring, and do everything to make my daughter feel comfortable. I can't recommend this dental group enough.

This office is perfect for kids. Friendly, warm, comfortable. Dr. Gross is smart, personable, and good with kids. My daughter had some bad dental experiences and she left there with a bounce in her step (and a unicorn).

We took our 20 mos old to his first dental visit with Dr Gross this morning. He was very gentle & attentive to our son, & we had a short & sweet first visit. It was great to ask him questions about tooth brushing, etc. in a non-stressed environment! Extremely helpful visit!

They may have started as just a dental practice for my kids, but their addition of Dr. Delshad has made it a place for the whole family. He is an amazing dentist and helps me take great of my teeth. Highly recommended!

Dr. Gross is such a nice guy and a fantastic dentist. I am so grateful my children go to him. Our daughter had a freak accident in a remote part of Sequoia. We were able to schedule an appointment right away when we arrived home to Los Angeles. Dr Gross said my daughter would be fine and nothing to worry about her teeth. He didn't even charge us. My daughter came home all smiles as she thought she was going to have a tooth pulled out--luckily that didn't happen! My kids love going to the dentist because of Dr. Gross and his awesome staff.

E services that I receive from Westside Pediatric Dental Group is excellent. Dr. and the staff are friendly and ensure that I am properly informed about everything. My kids also loved the place and now they want to go back to dentist! I would have no qualms in recommending them to friendly and friends.
