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 💗

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. 💙

The moment I met Dr. Gohar, I knew she was going to be my doctor. She provides individualized care and treats her patients with compassion and respect. She explains every procedure in a way that is easy to understand and answers all your questions. I was hesitant about starting Invisalign, but after talking to her, I’m grateful I decided to go ahead, and I'm almost finished with the treatment. The entire office staff is very kind and knowledgeable.
