Excellent service and attention for my mother who was hesitant to reach out for help with crowns that were done many years ago elsewhere and she wasn't quite satisfied with the job. Dr. Gohar and her team in contrast were incredibly kind and professional with creating a treatment plan for my mother and the end result was amazing. She's finally regained the confidence to smile again, and we're both happy and grateful to Dr. Gohar and team. We can't recommend them enough.
You haven’t had a proper cleaning until you’ve visited Nelli. She is meticulous, precise, and has the gentlest bedside manner. Her warm personality and ability to remember every detail, no matter how much time has passed, make each visit exceptional. I switched to her a while ago and can’t imagine going anywhere else. She’s truly a hygienist for life
I just had my semi annual teeth cleaning this morning with Nelli and really can’t say enough good things about her. No only is she incredibly knowledgeable but she is thorough, super friendly, warm, and genuinely caring. She was very mindful of my tooth sensitivity, took her time, and made sure she completed the cleaning efficiently and without rushing. As a bonus, shortly after I returned to work, two coworkers commented on how white my teeth look. Nelli is excellent at her job, and I always leave feeling well cared for and confident in my smile. Highly recommend!!
I had a great consultation. The doctor took their time carefully examining my teeth and explaining everything in a clear and reassuring way. I never felt rushed, and all of my questions were answered thoughtfully. The experience felt thorough, professional, and very well handled. Overall, a great job and a positive first impression.
Dr. Gohar’s office is amazing. I’ve gone to other dental office that my friends’ recommend but I went back to Viva Smile after one visit from another clinic. Viva Smile’s staff are just beyond words, they helped me so much not just with my treatment plan but also my payment plan, they made it easier for me to make payments since dental work cost a lot. The office is well kept clean and modern, their machines and equipment are up to date. But you can’t beat a good staff/team that will make you feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you Dr. Gohar and to your amazing staff. I will definitely recommend you to my peers.

I started coming here when I moved to California. It was just a local dentist with good reviews. Somehow now I’ve been goin to Dr. Gohar for 10 years. Over that time she’s replaced bad fillings and crowns and always did excellent work. I recently got Invisalign as well and as always, excellent work. Highly recommended. Zero issues after all these years. My wife also is a patient for just as long.
After seeing an ad from this place, I instantly felt it was the right fit for me and I was right. Everyone on the team was so kind and welcoming, and Dr. Gohar is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also very thoughtful. I’ll definitely be back soon 💗
Very good dentist. Comfortable atmosphere.12/02/2025 Update: Great dentist. No upsell at all. She is straight forward on advice. She and her staff are upbeat and friendly. They make going to the dentist something to look forward to every time you have an appointment.
Absolutely amazing experience. The entire team treated me like family from the moment I walked in.

I’m currently 8 months pregnant and recently started my Invisalign journey, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff made me feel so cared for and comfortable. They were patient, gentle, and always checked in to make sure I was okay, which meant a lot during this phase of my pregnancy.A special thank you to the Doctor Gohar and Anush for making everything so smooth and stress-free. They explained every step clearly and treated me with so much kindness. What I thought would be a difficult process turned out to be surprisingly easy because of them.I’m truly grateful for how well they handled everything — it made my journey not just manageable, but actually enjoyable. Highly recommend!😊😊😊😊
From Ear Pain to Pain-Free — Thank You, Dr. Gohar!I’ve been going to Viva Smile in Van Nuys and seeing Dr. Gohar for over 20 years — and honestly, I will never change my dentist! She’s the absolute best.Recently I had really bad ear pain and went to the emergency room. They said it was an ear infection. The next day (Saturday), I went to an emergency dentist — only because Dr. Gohar’s office wasn’t open that day — just to make sure it wasn’t a tooth issue. They told me it was a sinus infection. By Monday, I decided to see my dentist, Dr. Gohar, and sure enough, she figured it out right away — I needed a root canal.That was just a week ago, and today I went in for my follow-up. My tooth feels amazing and I have no pain at all. Dr. Gohar really knows her stuff and takes such good care of her patients. She explains everything, makes you feel totally comfortable, and you can tell she genuinely cares.If you’re looking for a dentist who’s skilled, kind, and trustworthy — go see Dr. Gohar at Viva Smile! You’ll be in the best hands. 💙
This office is amazing! The front desk team Anna and Nane are so welcoming, and the entire staff is truly exceptional. Everyone is professional, kind, and caring, you can tell they genuinely value their patients. You’ll receive top-quality care here. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for outstanding dental service!
Dr. Gohar and her staff have been personable and respectful of my needs and my time. I have been under her dental care for over 15 years. Both my husband and I agree that she is knowledgeable in the latest techniques of her profession.
Viva Smile Van Nuys will be my go to dentist moving forward. Came in for an emergency root canal and was able to get it addressed as soon as I arrived. Great experience & customer service from beginning to end. Would recommend to my friends and family🙂↕️
Amazing dentist! Super kind, gentle, and explains everything clearly. The staff is friendly and the office is clean and welcoming. I always feel comfortable here and know I’m in good hands.
It’s hard to find a great dentist! It’s even harder to find amazing people. Thankful we found Dr Gohar! She is the best of both worlds! The smile she greets you with is so heartfelt. It’s obvious she is truly passionate about her career. The work done behind closed doors is a testament to her commitment to serving her community. She’s amazing! Pay her a visit today and let her know Alo sent you! 🙂
