Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
if you love western movies this is your dentist! i don't think there is anything in this place that is newer than 50 years old. everything is small, old, and a crazy mess of syringes, equipment, open and poorly resealed vials. ok, maybe the doctor may be great but clearly it is time to spend some just to innovate. also for the filling the only thing is to wait because in the far west ultraviolet light did not exist and everything here is themed like in a museum you know the old movies where the barber was also a dentist? if you are intrepid you can experience it for yourself!! yeeeeeahhhhh cowboys!!!
I have been seeing Dr. Fishlyn for many years. He and his staff are patient and helpful. Before starting to see him, I went for many years without seeing a dentist, and I was afraid of what he might find, or what services he might try to sell me. Other than some minor work (a filling or two), and a really good cleaning, he simply set me up for regular twice-yearly cleanings, and it's been easy ever since. I don't know what I'll ever do after he retires!
Dr. Fishlyn, aka Elliott by many of his patients, was initially recommended to me by colleagues over thirty five years ago. He has provided superb dental care for myself, my wife (a former dental technician who quickly recognized what a fine dentist he is), & our son ever since then. A graduate of UCLA dental school, Elliott is not only highly skilled & insightful but also one of the most down-to-earth, sensitive professionals I've met. In addition to evidencing expertise, nothing instills trust in a patient like compassion. Elliott exemplifies these traits. Even though he has a busy hectic practice, he always provides adequate time to treat my family -- which is an important issue since, for the past two decades we have had to commute 95 miles round trip for our Saturday appointments. BTW, his examination rooms provide a unique garden view that has a calming effect during your visit. He also maintains a personable efficient staff. Nancy, his chief hygienist, has worked with him for decades & is highly proficient, knowledgeable & personable. His pricing is also fair. I cannot recommend Elliott too highly.
I've been going to Dr. Fishlyn for over 15 years and he's fantastic. He's helped me with all kinds of dental issues, particularly with crowns. One time I cracked my crown in half, called him that night and he was able to come in early the next morning to help me with it. He's easy to talk with and seems to care a lot about my wellness, listening carefully to what I have to say. Anytime I've had larger dental issues, he's connected me with the best specialists in Santa Monica - one time he called a root canal specialist on the phone while I was in the office and sent me down to the street right then to see him. I feel like I get great care from Dr. Fishlyn. I sincerely hope he never retires because I don't think I'll ever find a dentist as good as him!
I was a brand new patient and complained about tooth sensitivity and no x-rays were taken. Dr. Fishlynn gave me a very brief exam. Neither the hygienist or dentist flossed my teeth. That being said, the office reached out after reading my review to offer me another examination and an apology - which was very kind. The office is comfortable, very short wait time and his other other patients seem to like him very much. I may have caught just them on a bad day but I was not satisfied with the care I received.
