Reviews of PivoSmiles: Jonathan Pivo, DDS
Dr. Pivo is the best dentist I have ever been to in my entire life. In the 6 years I've been a patient, I've never felt pain during appointments for cleanings, cavities, or crowns. He and the staff explain what they're going to do beforehand (great for nervous patients like myself) and always allow the time to ask questions to ease tension; The waiting room, office, *and* the bathroom are consistently clean and smell fresh; Dr. Pivo & his staff have not only been personable & charming at every appointment, they make the effort to know more about me as a person. To top it off, the whole staff has the most delightfully infectious sense of humor.
Here in the big city, dentists are overworked and underpaid, so it's challenging to find one who still manages to remain friendly toward their patients under stressful conditions. Dr. Pivo is a rare find. He's super knowledgeable, has a very pleasant chair side manner, and is respectful enough to actually listen to his patients who are also often under stress and anxiety. His entire professional support team is top notch in every way and they consistently demonstrate that quality dentistry is their number one priority. Pivo Smiles really is the dental team who treats their patients like family.
My wife has been coming to Dr. Pivo for over a decade and has been telling me how wonderful everyone is there. I finally made the switch myself and see what she’s been talking about. Dr. Pivo and his entire staff are so friendly and helpful. They really go out of their way to make sure their patients feel welcome and informed and never feel rushed. Highly recommend.
I've just had cleaning and check up, the former, with Carol, and the latter, with Doctor, Jonathan Pivo. Thank you very much, it was a pleasant experience. Carol has perfectly soft touch and friendly personality. They are both seams professional and attentive. And everything goes smooth.
You were very interested to make an appointment for procedure but no info on financial costs me. I will not commit to any procedure without specific costs to me and available payment options. Therefore cancel my appointment for later this month and confirm via text.
Dr Pivo is a great dentist… I would go so far as to say, he is a master craftsman in dentistry. Dr. Pivo has surrounded himself with excellent staff… PivoSmiles is a dental office of warm, friendly, professional staff.
Such a great dentist. Was recommended to theme and will recommended them to other people. So nice and take great care of there patients.
Dr Pivo is wonderful. I truly appreciate the professional, respectful, and calming atmosphere of the office.
I had a dental emergency and called Dr. Pivo’s office. The staff was fast, friendly and efficient. They got me in to see him and fixed my problem. I can’t tell you how grateful I am and how easy they made the process. Needless to say, I will be returning to see Dr. Pivo.
Dr. Pivo provides excellent treatment and has a friendly manner. His staff, including Carole and Charna, are professional and pleasant. It is obvious that Dr. Pivo and his staff are a highly competent team who respect each other and provide the best care to their patients.
Dr. Pivo and his friendly and efficient staff made my visit quick and easy, with better than expected results. Will be using his services again!
Came in for a cleaning. Appt. was kept on schedule and plenty of time was devoted to my visit. Dr. Pivo did a quick visual assessment of the findings from the tehnician and visually checked my teeth. Very clean and professional in a friendly way.
Wonderful Dentist and office! The entire staff is friendly and I loved my hygienist. The office is bright and beautiful and everyone sees happy to work there. Dr. Pivo is also very kind and I felt comfortable with his advice. Highly recommend.
I have been going to Dr. Pivo for years now. I always feel welcome, and the ladies and the doctor make me feel at ease. Everybody is really nice. I love Carol, my dental hygienist and Shania (I am sure the name is misspelled). Shania is wonderful and makes you feel like family! I never post reviews but if anyone is looking for a dental office and cannot find one, give this one a try. I am sure you are going to have a nice experience (if you can say that about dental services) and you are going to stop looking.

Dr Pivot and his supportive staff continue practicing great service, customer oriented and makes me always feel welcome to his establishment. From the receptionist, dental technician, X-rays technician and Doctor Pivot have their service process mastered.
They make sure that I keep up my teeth clean, protected and avoiding issues with my teeth.
Good Job PivoSmile’s team and thank you!
I found the entire experience of going to the dentist really pleasant. The office itself is attractive and the rooms are up-to-date and well equipped.
When I entered the building, the women at the front desk welcomed me and assured me I would be seen directly. It’s nice to have one’s presence acknowledged.
Every subsequent interaction I had with members of the staff was equally pleasant.
Each member was professional and efficient, taking the time to explain procedures as well as the equipment, always with my comfort in mind.
It was clear that they enjoyed being part of the Pivosmiles team and took pride in their work.
Of course, the atmosphere starts at the top.
Dr. Pivo was terrific. Professional (of course), knowledgeable, and personable. He answered any questions I had, and and suggested a course of treatment.
I am more than satisfied with my initial visit, and happy to have found a personal dentist.
Thank you.
Had a fantastic experience here as a new patient of dr Pivo and team. The are all so nice and welcoming.
Good care
Too long wait app was 2
I came earlier around 1:45
Was called to see hygienist after 2:30
APp fro 2:20 was called ahead of me
Not ok
Dr Pivo is one of the best dentists very professional honest and exceptional unlike most other dentists in the area I highly recommend
Dr. Pivo is a fantastic Dentist and his office team is terrific! I went in for a routine cleaning and was not surprised when he discovered that one of my teeth needs a new crown. It had been bothering me. I trust his recommendations and know from his prior work on my teeth that his skills are Second to NONE!

Absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever been to. The staff is so nice and warm. They always go the extra mile to make me feel at home and that goes a long way. They even remembered that I just had a baby and they surprised me with a heart warming card and balloons. Dr Pivo is so incredibly professional and has taken great care of me and my teeth. I’ll be coming here for years to come.
Great experience dr Pivo is very knowledgeable and considerate and caring
He is wonderful dentist and has great help in the office and wonderful hygienist.
I love dr Pivo’s office. And I never thought I would say that about any dentist’s office!! Everyone from the receptionists, to the dental hygienist to dr pivo and his amazing assistant - they are all friendly, welcoming and professional. They really care and that comes across clearly!! I would highly recommend them to anyone!!
Great dentist. Great experience. Be sure to try the baby back ribs too!! -JS
I started receiving dental services at Dr. Pivo's office late last year and have had several appointments since then. I have found the whole team to be warm, caring and professional. The office staff have gone out of their way to accommodate my busy schedule. The services I have received to date have been professional, thorough, and gentle, and everybody's just... nice. They greet me like an old friend. Highly recommended.
Phenomenal. Dr. Pivo is amazing and his staff are awesome. I’ve never had a cleaning anywhere that was so professional and painless. The hygienist didn’t hurt my gums at all. Highly recommend .
Carol was one of the best hygienists I have ever known, Gentle, thorough and helpful ideas for me. I am a dentistry phone, but I am absolutely religious about dental care because I have lots of issues. So that is a BIG compliment. Front desk staff is outstanding. Only met Dr. Pivo for a few minutes, but I was happy to receive plain advice instead of a lengthy sales presentation. Lovely immaculate office.
I have been going here for many MANY years and everyone is ALWAYS professional, friendly and proficient in what they do. I LOVE having my teeth cleaned at least every 4 months. Both Carol and Corey are great hygienists, Seana is a fabulous dental assistant, and I feel great in Dr. Pivo's hands. Thank you for always taking such good care of me.
I am 77 and Doctor Pivo, his staff and facility are the best, most patient friendly that I have ever experienced. Grace & perfection on all levels.
Wonderful experience! I hadn’t been able to get any dental work done for over a year, and was pleased to find this one through a friend’s recommendation. Exam and cleaning went well, we went over my goals and needs in the coming years, and I feel glad to have finally found my new dentist!
Dr. Pivo and the entire staff are friendly and professional. I was seen right on time and Dr. Pivo walked me through every step of the process. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist.
Dr. Pivo and his staff are fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough. I used to live in Canoga Park but have since moved to Pasadena and continue to visit them every 4 months for a cleaning because I appreciate them that much! Not only that but when I was addressing my OSA issue Dr. Pivo recommended a great surgeon to help with a septoplasty to aid with my deviated septum/enlarged turbinate which has greatly helped breathing at night. Woohoo! Before then I purchased a mouth guard which has helped reduce the sharpness of my shark teeth, so another win being a part of this dentist office. They're worth the drive.
I have been taking my kids to Dr. Pivo for the past five years. From fillings to invisalign, we have been very happy with his treatments and his kind accommodating staff. I took my 3 year old there for a check up and Dr. and his staff were gentle and made it a very calm positive experience.
Very professional and friendly staff.
I’ve only had two cleaning here so far and they went very well.
I’m hopeful and confident that my upcoming implant crown will go just as smoothly.
Always a great office, doctor and staff!! Though I have always hated going to the dentist this place is a plus with staff , exam and cleaning !! Very thorough.
Dr Pivo is the best! His staff is super friendly and getting a cleaning here is the easiest and most comfortable experience I've had with any dentists I've been to!
I had a very good experience with PivoSmiles. Everyone was super friendly and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Entering the office you are greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Pivo is kind, gentle and caring! This was my first visit and I have found my new dentist! Looking forward to a long relationship.
My best experience ever by far at the Dentist. The staff is amazing!
Extremely friendly front office, doctor and technicians were very professional and also friendly.
PivoSmiles is an awesome dentist office with an amazing staff! I highly recommend them for your dentistry needs!
Wonderful dentist and a terrific staff. Dr. Pivo is gentle and comforting and so skilled. He is everything you can ask for in a dentist.
Great office located on Magnolia and Coldwater anchored by Walgreens. The front desk staff makes you feel right at home immediately when you walk in the door. Everything was on time and it was extremely professional but run office. A fantastic experience that is super easy for anyone that works or lives in the valley. This is a great place to take care of your teeth. The team was very professional examining and providing with solutions by priority. I have been going to Pivo smiles for a very long time now and it is a really great place everyone from Dr. Pivo to the staff and my very friendly hygienist. I highly recommend Pivo smiles if you’re looking for a dentist office in the valley or in all of LA. You will walk out with a great smile. I guarantee it!
Dr.. Pivo has been my dentist since he’s moved to this location at Coldwater and Magnolia. I just recently had my teeth cleaned by Gina who did a very thorough and careful cleaning of my teeth. She was very gentle and insured I was comfortable. The entire staff makes you feel welcomed and answer any questions you may have. He’s up on the latest technologies and his office is very calming for those who don’t really like coming to the dentist. Highly recommend Dr. Pivo and his staff for all your dental needs.
I love Pivo Smiles! Dr Pivo is a great dentist. And Carol amd Gina are a amazing hygienists. And Channa is the best! The care here is great!
This is my first visit to PivoSmiles. The front desk service is courteous. My hygienist was friendly, informative, detailed and took her time to take the x-rays and do a deep cleaning for one quadrant. I have my next appointment set up and hopeful to have a good experience. As I had previously experienced high tech machines for X-Rays at other facilities, I feel the machine could be upgraded.
I'm terrified of the dentist. My husband recently went and liked how Jonathan Pivo was calm and talked to him and husband has gone a few times now. So I decided to go. I haven't had work done yet, since I'm pregnant, it was a check in and plan of action. I felt comfortable and not judged by the work I need. So I have faith! Going in next week to have my fillings done.
First time time visit and super happy. Staff and Doctor were all expert, friendly, and professional. No crazy wait to make an appt. Not overly crowded. Upfront and clear about what's covered. Clean space. EZ free parking. Totally coming back.
Staff was great a fun experience the dentist was very knowledgeable and experienced The hygienist did a very thorough and deep cleaning The girls at the front desk were very friendly and knowledgeable when I left I was glad to smile again. Just saw dr. Pivo went in to have 6 crowns done he took his time there was no pain very experienced dentist I felt very comfortable in the chair and when I was done I was very happy with the results the staff was great everybody there greeted me with a smile the people in the front took care of me worked up my bill it was done fast very efficient I am very happy with my smile now I have temporaries but the permits Will be on shortly and I’m sure they will be fine.He is a very good dentist and I will be coming back
Everyone at Dr Pivo’s office is always courteous, professional and friendly. If I have to go to the dentist, I am happy to come here. Thank you for such wonderful and respectful service!
Everyone is so friendly and professional and knowledgable. They make you feel comfortable and you leave feeling as though they really care about you not only as a patient but also as a person. It's an office you look forward returning to.
I felt very safe and comfortable going into my appointment. The staff was just as friendly as always while still being able to keep everyone safe and healthy. Temperatures were checked, masks were worn, and I was really happy to be able to go back to the office.
Best teeth cleaning experience ever! Very professional and friendly staff. Super clean facility. When my longtime dentist retired I asked our new insurance agent for a referral and he enthusiastically recommended Dr. Pivo. Now I know why. #grateful
Dr Pivo is a great dentist, very knowledgeable and skilled. Hygienists are friendly and very good at cleaning and taking care of your teeth. Recently remodeled office with new equipment. Friendly office staff that make you feel comfortable and relaxed. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for a great dentist.
Friendly, efficient service. Discussed what I needed but in a comfortable and respectful manner. Comfortable and convenient, my new dentist for sure!
Warm, wonderful, and professional dentist and office! I’ve been going here for years and I’m always impressed by 1) the kindness, humor, and gentle approach of the hygienists, 2) Dr. Pivo’s skill, understanding, and dedication to patient care and comfort, and 3) the front desk folks’ empathy, professionalism, and responsiveness. I couldn’t recommend this practice more!
Dr. Pivo is the best, he and his assistants have created what feels like a family oriented dentist's office. It reminds me of the small town dentist I used to go to as a kid.
Very friendly and very professional, plus the office is taking Covid precautions very seriously with UV air purifiers next to every exam chair.
I honestly tell all my friends to go to Dr. Pivo and everyone that has has thanked me. Sometimes businesses in LA can feel like a money grab or a scam, but Dr. Pivo's office just feels like a good dentist that wants to take care of you. Like I said before, he's the best.
I have been going to PivoSmiles for many years. Dr. Pivo is awesome. I had a new dental hygienist today, Monica and she was wonderful, so caring and careful, and fun to talk to. I also adore my other hygienist, Carol. Everyone at this office is great.
This is such an amazing operation. The entire team provides caring attention to your needs. In a time of poor customer service and lowered expectations, Pivosmiles is a beacon of light for dental care.
I had a wonderful experience as usual. The office is clean, they made with feel safe during this Omicron surge. The office staff is friendly. Carol the hygienist is very informative, and friendly. Dr. Pivo is a great dentist who I recommend to everyone!
Love the attention and care they give! Definitely one of the best dentists I've ever had!
This office is very professional and efficient and Dr. Pivo is a very caring dentist.
I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Pivo after going to the dentist who previously owned the practice. This place is such a gem. His team - some from the previous owner and some new hygienists - are simply delightful. They greet me every visit like an old friend, and Dr. Pivo is so detailed and thoughtful with his care. He and I talk about all these things he researches and studies outside of just what you’d expect in his day to day, and he’s helped me uncover issues with breathing that I had no idea were related to my teeth. Plus the front office is soooo helpful with insurance questions and getting you off any waitlists if you want to try to come earlier than your set appt. Five stars all around.
Another great visit and service… Andrea was gentle and very thorough with my dental cleaning and taking X-rays. She was also very soothing for me as I had a hard day and she made me relax and feel well while she took care of my teeth.
My husband and I have been going to Dr Pivo's office for many years. He and his staff are always so friendly and courteous. They are easy to reach and always get back to you in a reasonable amount of time if you have a question. Their office has a small town feel yet they are located in a big city! I love that! And they do great dental work!
Dr. Pivo is the best dentist I have ever had. He is highly skilled and very gentle. I avoided going to the dentist for a long time and needed a lot of work by the time I found Dr. Pivo. I am so glad I found him and would highly recommend him to everyone.
Best dentist and dental hygienist ever! Highly recommend
I've had a great experience at Dr. Pivo's Dental office. I can't thank them enough for the wonderful and thorough care they provided. From start to finish, the process was clear, straightforward, and thoughtful.
If you care about your oral health and are looking for the best dentist in the Culver City/Los Angeles area, I highly recommend Dr. Jonathan Pivo. This is coming from someone who was very reluctant to visit any dentist due to past experiences with other dentists.
Thank you so much Dr. Pivo, and I can't wait to visit again.
For medical reasons too complex to explain, my dental care poses many unique challenges. Dr. Pivo and his colleagues understand this, but also understand that EVERY patient has their own unique "mouth-print" that may require special attention.
And special attention is what Dr. Pivo and his team are all about.
A great example is a dental prosthesis I have that needed special kinds of toothbrushes to get at hard-to-reach places. Appreciating these challenges, one of Dr. Pivo's dental hygienists went above and beyond the call, diligently researching various kinds of brushes until they found several that might for me. Not one, but several.
Like everyone in the office, Dr. Pivo's colleague didn't do this to get some extra service fee; they did it because they are not only a professional, but they care. Their interest in the quality of patients' quality of life beyond the dentist's chair is a reflection of Pivosmiles' exceptional standards.
Dr. Pivo & staff are absolutely top notch. My grandsons and I feel very comfortable and well cared for, with all our dental needs.
Gentle, thorough, highly capable & lovely.
Everyone at Pivo Smiles = 👍 …
My experience has also been excellent, and I've been Dr. Pivo's patient since he bought the practice. Very professional service. Reception staff is friendly and efficient. Every time I've had cavities filled, it's been with minimal discomfort and with excellent results. Dental hygienists are professional and nice as well. It's also great to have very little wait time because they don't overbook and accurately predict appointment periods.
Parking next to the dental office is also good.
I feel so lucky to have found a dentist office like Dr. Pivo’s! Karen is always there to greet you, and every hygienist I’ve seen is knowledgable, kind, and easy to talk to. Prior to moving to LA, I had only been treated by one other dentist for 15+ years and I can say Dr. Pivo and the entire staff there are the most welcoming team. I’ve now been going to Pivo Smiles for 5 years and trust all their suggestions, they have only helped better my teeth/gums and aided in finding relief to my teeth grinding. Thanks for all that you guys do!
Dr. Pivo is a very skilled and friendly dentist. He has hand-picked equally skilled and friendly staff. I saw Hygienist Gina today for a cleaning. Very gentle and very thorough.
Dr.Pivo & staff are very professional, knowledgeable,& friendly. Office staff very accommodating if appointment needs to be changed; office & all rooms are clean,staff is very aware of all covid protocols & guidelines. My experience there has been positive.
Dr. Pivo and all the hygenists, as well as desk staff, are all extremely helpful and nice. I've also never waited in the lobby...ever. I'm always right on time for my appointment and so are they! I moved a little far away but I enjoy their work and customer service enough to stay with them.
Dr.Pivo and his staff are great ,very professional and caring. My husband and I have been Dr.Pivos patients for over 12 years . Highly recommend him.
Everyone in the office is very nice and accommodating.
Dr Pivo is knowledgeable and compationate, he makes you feel at ease. I drive a great distance to go to their office but would not change it.
Dr. Pivo’s office is easily one of my first referrals when someone tells me they’re looking for a dentist. His office is so punctual and buttoned up. Everything is a smooth experience from appointments to billing to scheduling and insurance. Then the experience with Dr. Pivo and team of dental hygienists is suburb. They even guessed the gender of my baby LOL that’s how close we are. Couldn’t recommend them more - have also been helpful in finding recommended specialists that take my insurance, which is unheard of - especially in LA.
Dr.Pivo is, quite simply, the best! He is knowledgeable, skilled, & gentle and takes away the typical and normal phobia that I experience when I have a dental appointment. I have done several procedures with Dr. Pivo and the discomfort level was always at a minimum. Also, Dr. Pivo is punctual and I never have to wait more than a few minutes.
What more can you ask for.
I've never had to wait for more than a couple minutes.
Dr. Pivo is extremely knowledgeable and a great dentist.
The hygienists are gentle but thorough.
I highly recommend...
I have never written a review before, but my experience at Dr. Pivo's office was excellent, and deserving of one. Before coming to Dr. Pivo I hadn't been to the dentist in over 4 years. I wish I had found Dr. Pivo sooner. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I definitely don't feel the agony of going to the dentist anymore.
Dr. Pivo is excellent , he has been our family dentist since 2008. When Dr. Pivo moved from Culver City to all the way to the Valley, I followed him . Great care and very professional. The Team is awesome.
Coming from a horrific dental experience that left my molars filed too far down, I was nervous going to a new dentist to get my molars fixed. Right away Dr. Pivo's office was friendly and wanting to help! Chanya, was amazing at making me feel welcomed when taking me back to the room and stayed talking with me. If you're reading this, I'm sorry if I spelled your name wrong. She is absolutely wonderful! She made me feel like I've been going there for years and truly listened to my molar horror story. When Dr. Pivo came in, she helped me explain my situation, giving extra dentist language descriptions to help pin point the problems. It's a rare and wonderful thing to find a professional who truly listens. THEY LISTENED!! I left with a date for the following week to fix my molars!! I was SO excited!! Again, greeted with BIG smiles, Dr. Pivo built up my molars. To bite down for the 1st time in 3 months and not have my front teeth clank hard, IS fabulous!! Knowing I needed to get used to being able to use my molars again, but the filling may need adjusting, I have another appointment the following week. That follow up is tomorrow and I know they will listen to what I need adjusted and take care of me 110%. I am SO happy I went to Dr. Pivo!! He and his staff are absolutely amazing professionals that CARE!! I will be having my husband and daughter go for their cleanings and spread the word on how FABULOUS Dr. Pivo and his team are!!
Incredible dentist. Nice office, welcoming staff and Dr Pivo is very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend
I highly recommend Dr.Pivo and his staff for all of your dental needs.
I am absolutely terrified of the dentist so I’m anxious at my appointments. Dr. Pivo and his amazing team always make me feel relaxed and cared for. The whole team gives great advice, recommendations, and treatments. My latest appointment was right after re-opening during the COVID-19 pandemic. The team took my temp, made sure my pen was sanitized, and provided additional sanitizer for my hands. I felt totally safe there.
I travel 20 miles in LA traffic, that says volumes. Dr. Pivo is amazing!
I love dr pivo! he’s the best dentist I have ever had . he’s honest , very knowledgeable everybody in his office is super friendly, wouldn’t go to another Dentist.
Dr. Pivo is an incredible Dr. who takes time with each patient and answers all their questions and will give you a thorough evaluation of your teeth. All the hygienist’s are very professional and very nice. Highly recommend!
I started seeing Dr. Pivo years ago when he first opened his practice in Culver City, but I eventually moved to the Valley. When I more recently learned that he moved his practice to Valley Village, I was thrilled. He is a patient, kind and knowledgeable dentist and person. He has wonderful bedside manners as does his assistant, Shania (who I absolutely adore, by the way) and everyone else in his office. They are all friendly, helpful, professional and responsive (Diane is the best). Dr. Pivo is extremely quick, yet thorough, in an every single procedure he does for me. Parking is also easy and free, which is always a plus. I'm very happy with Dr. Pivo and his office, and I highly recommend him.
Dr. Pivo and his staff were welcoming and friendly they were just great and my appointment was taken care of fast and without any pain. They took the utmost care during the covid crisis and I will recommend them to anyone who needs a great dentist.
It is always a pleasant experience, despite my phobia! The professionalism and clear care and concern for the patient's welfare and comfort has me looking forward to my next appointment.
Dr. Pivo and his team are absolutely amazinnnngggg!!!! I love going to the dentist office first time in my life. Dr. Pivo is so meticulous, caring, professional, compassionate, explains everything in detail and he happily answers all my questions. Well, I also need to mention that him and His assistant crack up so many jokes, I laugh with my mouth wide open . I love their sense of humor, I get free entertainment also. I never considered getting Invisalign, and now, due to the utmost respect and trust I have for Dr. Pivo, I am going to get them. I know it's gonna work out perfectly. I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Pivo and his awesome team . They rock! 10 stars!!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I was a client here when Dr Pivo came on board and of course having no problems with my old dentist, I was skeptical not knowing what was in store for me with his retirement and this whole new' Pivo Smiles.'
Well....I couldn't be happier. Dr.Pivo came in with a new,fresh innovative approach to dentistry and I feel like I'm getting a dental face lift. We're redoing some things and changing others. Along with healthier gums and teeth my smile has improved and so has my self esteem.Thank you Dr.Pivo and staff(all my girls) for taking care of an old client, like a new one.
I'm so happy I found Dr Pivo!! I recently moved to the area and needed to find a new dentist. I was afraid to try someone new because I loved my previous dentist and even considered making the drive back when I needed to! LUCKILY I was referred to Dr Pivo and couldn't be happier.
Everyone at Dr. Pivo's office is welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly, the location is very pleasant and all dental work has been PAIN FREE!!! No pushy sales or upselling. Dr Pivo gives helpful advice to avoid costly procedures and I love his honesty!
Very happy patient.
Dr. Pivo and his staff are always friendly and efficient.
Dr Pivo and his whole staff are great. Dr Pivo is so gentle and explains what he is doing throughout the process. I now actually enjoy going to the dentist.
Love PivoSmiles! They were able to squeeze me in when I had some crazy tooth pains even though it was a last minute phone call. The staff are super friendly & helpful!
Dr. Pivo is the best -- knowledgeable, personable, professional. The staff is excellent, I've had several hygenists and each is very skilled and thorough. The office is spotless and parking is easy. From teeth whitening and cosmetic work to more difficult medical procedures, there's nothing Dr. Pivo can't do. Highly recommended.
Super friendly staff. My family has been going here for years. Everyone in this office is very thorough and knowledgeable. Dental visits sometimes get a bad rap. Honestly, this is a nice place to visit. Give them a try!
Love, love Dr. Pivo and his friendly staff. My appointments are always on time and completed in an efficient manner. My teeth and gums are well taken care of.
Love this place, it’s an independent family owned business and everyone there is friendly, professional, never pushy, extremely helpful and it’s always such a good experience ... which is not always what you say about a dentist office! Love, love, love that my teeth are taken care of at PivoSmiles.
Never loved going to a dentist as had some bad experiences, but going to Dr. Pivo he and his staff make you so comfortable and I feel well taken care of there. All so very nice in that office!!
My recent experience involved 2 quadrants of deep scaling!!!
If u know anything about THAT, its not the most awesome thing in the world to deal with...
HOWEVER...
My hygienist was so kind and nice, but more importantly, SOOO ACCURATE
It was actually (and Im serious), a PLEASURE to have her BRILLIANT expertise all up in my mouth!
I look forward to quadrants 3 and 4 in a couple weeks!
I have a severe anxiety disorder and now I love going to the dentist because of Dr. Pivo and his awesome staff. Small town vibe, no one judges you, everything is thoroughly explained, and they’ll bend over backwards to make sure you’re comfortable. Thanks guys!
Dr. Pivo does excellent work. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, takes care to get everything just right, and cares about his patients. There are other dentists who are located closer to me, but I won't go anywhere else.
An appointment at Dr. Pivo’s office is an absolutely fantastic experience. From the entire staff to the Dr. himself, I couldn’t have asked for better service and a friendlier atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
I been coming to Dr Jonathan Pevo for almost two years, everyone is friendly and professional, they also provide great service. The office feels like you’re going to a friends house for a dental appointment. Thank you guys!
Dr Pivo is a fabulous dentist. He is patient and kind. My whole family loves Dr Pivo and his employees. I highly recommend him.
Friendly staff and great service! I was in and out in a reasonable time and they are taking all necessary COVID precautions. Very happy to have a new dentist near home in the valley!
Dr Pivo and his staff of assistants and hygienists are knowledgeable, professional, communicative and friendly. No upselling of services. I highly recommend this dentist. Easy to access office and plenty of free parking too.
I had my second visit this week.
It was very simple: I made an appt, I parked on the street (45 minutes in the meter), checked in at desk, Doc saw me right away, Doc performed the cleaning and exam, Doc advised me to floss and to use Listerine-type mouthwash to stave off gum disease (I'm 40 y.o.), Doc advised me to consider braces for serious crowding, Doc took X-rays, Doc showed me the X-ray pictures immediately and pointed out where cavities would look like if there were any. Doc gave me a little bag with oral hygiene tools inside.
Whole thing took under 40 minutes. Very pleasant, with Doc's calm voice and family anecdotes during cleaning.
Here's what Doc did NOT do: Doc did not try to get me to pay for useless teeth-whitening (I'm a technician, not an actor), Doc did not push specific referrals on me for orthodontists (I don't have six grand lying around to pay for braces), Doc did not give me phony diagnoses and doom-and-gloom prognoses (other dentists have solemnly informed me that my teeth are pock-marked with 22 small cavities that require immediate attention).
Doc's staff made the insurance stuff very easy for me: I walked in, staff identified me. Later I walked out with my next appt set for a future date as covered by my insurance. No repetitious paperwork. Clean.
Love DDS Pivo and all the amazing staff. I have been coming here even before DDS Pivo started. I no longer live in the area, but make the drive to see everyone and get great service. Thank you all for years of excellence
Very friendly staff and they treat every patient with respect and with utmost care. They make you feel at ease and comfortable. I have been going to this office for over 30 years and I have always been pleased with their service.
My family and I have been patients here for many years. The staff is excellent and the dentist is everything you’d hope for in a good dentist. I highly recommend.
Update: I've changed my rating from 1 to 3 because the office was willing to refund my out-of-pocket costs for the crown and, while food still routinely gets trapped between the crown and its neighbor, (just flossed out some turkey bacon), it's not as bad as it was before. I think the gums have adjusted a bit, possibly.
Original review:
Job: Crown install
Pro: His bedside manner was fine.
Con: I have to think of him 5 times a day when I floss, which I now have to do 5 times a day, because I tend to eat solid foods in some form 5 times a day, and for the first time in my life I have a food trap between 2 teeth where solid food reliably parks itself in the space between the newly crowned molar and the neighboring molar after I’ve finished eating.
I have never before had an issue anywhere in my mouth where solid food remains lodged after I’ve eaten. Never. I’ve contemplated sharing images of the smorgasbord I floss out of my mouth storage throughout the day, but haven’t had time yet.
I went in for a follow up with Pivo a few weeks after install to explain my predicament to him. He couldn’t have cared less. He simply practiced defensive medicine and denied there was an issue. His guy took an x-ray at what seems to be the right angle to not show the actual space between the newly crowned molar and its neighbor. Pivo then poked around the tooth, told me there was no “food trap”, told me that while the gums were sitting lower than they had been, it was because they were actually healthier than they had previously been, told me to floss, and sent me on my way.
And so, I continue to floss 5 times a day to remove “food” that becomes “trapped” between the newly crowned molar and its neighbor after I’ve eaten solid foods, which I do 5 times a day, leading me to have to think of Dr. Pivo and my unfortunate experience with him … 5 times a day.
Conclusion: find another dentist
The dental hygienist Reut was the best ever. Crystal clear. Efficient. A perfectionist. Highly credible. Encouraging. Naturally cordial. I will be happy to keep seeing her.
Nice dentist. Friendly staff. Great location.
The office staff is great! I always feel welcome by them all. I am one of those cowards when it comes to a dental visit, and they always put my mind at ease!
I don't ever write Google reviews, nor are we ever very excited to go to the dentist. I left Dr. Pivo's office just now thinking to myself how lucky I was to have found him. I wanted to call all of my friends to share my excitement with...Yes, excitement! from a dentist? Let me explain...
In my 54 years of life I have been to probably 10 different dentists. I really wish I found Dr. Pivo sooner. I will spare you the details but I will tell you that if you are looking for a dentist that really cares about the patient you need to know Dr. Pivo. WOW...
He performed the pre root canal work I needed. Most fear the dreaded shot of Novocaine. I literally asked him to tell me when he was about to put the needle in. His reply was.."I already did it" Unreal! I felt nothing! Zero! Nada. He explained in explicit detail every move he makes. He is so gentle, so caring and trustworthy.
I had wanted longer front teeth. After years of grinding them down, I was ready. Pivo performed unbelievably artistry on my front teeth. He lengthen them approximately 2 mm. Took him less than an hour, no shot, no pain, pure and simple art. This man is an artist. I looked in the mirror and could not believe the magic he performed.
The world needs to know this man exists.
Dr. Pivo you rock!

Carol gave me a very thorough cleaning and pointed out four areas that caught her attention. Dr. Pivo later took pictures of those areas and determined that I needed to have a few fillings.
I just had the filling and Dr. Pivo and Shonya did an amazing job!
Wonderful place with excellent people. Always on time. Never over charge. Absolutely couldn’t recommend this dental office more.
The doctor was accommodating and helpful and personable. The technicians were friendly and understanding. The office was nicely decorated and clean. Overall I felt comfortable and taken care of.

I have been going to this dentist office since 1999. They are such a great group of people. Growing up in England where dentists seem to be more like sadistic torturers, having a dentist that I like is wonderful.
My experience getting my teeth cleaned and gum checked was fine!
Chanel, my hygienist, was very nice and made the cleaning as painless as possible. Valerie in the office was super-friendly.
Went for teeth whitening. When I arrived I was greeted right away and given paper work, them taken right in for the procedure. Everything was explained clearly. Everyone was so nice. A very efficient practice.
