Downtown Los Angeles Dentist Reviews

I am leaving this review to warn other new patients to be cautious before agreeing to scaling and root planing/deep cleaning at this office. I came in as a new patient for an exam/cleaning on 6/18/2026. During periodontal charting, the probing was extremely forceful and painful throughout my mouth. I have had periodontal charting done for years at other offices, and it never hurt like this. The dentist repeatedly called out 5mm and 6mm pocket readings and told me I needed SRP/deep cleaning in all four quadrants. I was also told they would not perform a regular cleaning unless I agreed to SRP. I initially agreed because I was worried, but I became uncomfortable, withdrew consent, and left before treatment was performed. After reviewing my records, I became even more concerned. The office diagnosed generalized moderate chronic periodontitis and treatment-planned SRP in all four quadrants, but the periodontal chart from that same visit listed 0% plaque, 0% calculus, 0% bleeding, 0% suppuration, no mobility, no furcation involvement, and no clinical attachment level greater than or equal to 6mm. My prior and subsequent periodontal charts from other offices showed mostly 3mm/4mm readings with only localized higher readings in the back, including an area near a filling/contour issue that had previously been explained to me as making gum attachment more difficult. Based on my experience, I am concerned this office may be using aggressive probing and alarming pocket readings to push expensive deep cleanings on new patients. I have filed a complaint with the Dental Board of California. I strongly recommend getting your periodontal chart, X-rays, diagnosis, and treatment plan, and seeking a second opinion, before agreeing to SRP/deep cleaning here.

I've been a patient for years now and this is still the most trust worthy dentist and practice I've seen to date. They never try to sell you on a service and they're always careful when providing care. Dr. Caligiuri and Luz are a great team!

I couldn't be happier with Dr. Caligiuri. He suggested Invisalign for me just about a year ago and now my smile is really nice. The process was easy and painless. He's also my primary dentist and I would recommend him to everyone. He's not only great at what he does he's very easy to converse with. His team is great too. Five stars buddy!! Thanks Matt!!

Dr. Caligiuri and his staff are always kind, professional and pleasant to deal with. I've left every visit feeling more confident that my dental health is in good hands and reassured that everything has been done with nothing but top-level professional care.

I’ve been using this dentist for several years. The hygienist ( I forgot her name) is gentle but thorough. She is also very knowledgeable about tooth health. This is not one of those places that is always trying to sell you something either. They are big on dental health and prevention. I highly recommend this place.

Very comfortable office, all staff are very friendly. The doctor never seems rushed, and always communicates very well. I've been going there since the opened in 2015.

Dr Caligiuri and his staff are fantastic and even though I have now moved half an hour away, I keep going back because I don’t think I’ll find another dentist as good! The staff are patient, meticulous and gentle, and my teeth are in the best shape. The practice is good about reminding me about cleanings. They have helped straighten my teeth and some major dental work and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s all gone.

After years of hopping from one dentist to another I have always had dentists with some good and some bad qualities, but Dr. C is the full package. His bedside manner is excellent mostly because his craft is not forced. He is delicate, patient, and cares about his practice and you can sense it when he conducts his work. He is always conservative in his recommendations and never tries to upsell you. The dentists and surgeons he has referred us to over time have all been top quality; a product of the fact that he maintains relationships with them and does not refer based on convenience or locality. He has a plethora of information and research to support the questions we ask him and that’s because he is actually interested in and cares about what he does. His staff is always warm and friendly, never cranky or sassy, unlike many medical practices we all know or have visited at some point in time. Dr. C has been our family dentist for over seven years. When we moved an hour and a half away two years ago, we did not hesitate to maintain our relationship with him and the Environdental team. A big highlight: at the end of 2023, during the Christmas holiday, our toddler suffered a minor injury to her front tooth that had us worried she might lose it. We immediately left a voicemail on his personal phone number, which he reserves for emergencies. He called back right way, had us send him photos to assess the damage, and advised us on the best course of action. He then made time in his schedule to see us the very next day. Writing this review is long overdue and we are so grateful to have him as our dentist. Get yourself a delicious lunch or smoothie at Whole Foods and pay Dr. Caligiuri a visit. You’ll be glad you did.
