Best staff ever! Best experience ever! I was eating solid foods again within days after getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled (September 2020). Exceptional work from a highly talented surgeon. Very knowledgeable and helped ease my nerves by answering every question I had with confidence. Love this place, and I no longer fear going to the dentist because of them :)
It took me a long time to find a good dentist. I am so happy with Dr McKay & his team, they are professional, skilled and have made me feel comfortable regardless of the type of service- cleaning, filling, etc. You never know when you go to a dentist if they are going to be good or not. I’m telling you, the team @Dr McKay’s office will take excellent care of you & your teeth (and gums!).
Extremely patient! Supportive and friendly. Very professional and GREAT work. Ive found my life dentist. Dr. McKay gave ne the confidence to smile again, thank you!
I have been coming here for almost my whole life. Janet has been cleaning my teeth for over 20 years now! The staff here is always so great and welcoming. I truly have grown with this place and I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Dr. McKay and Dr. Grossman (pre-retirement) have been taking care of me through cleanings, teeth extractions, and the occasional filling. The hygienists and doctors are always so friendly and professional, they’re basically family. Deciding to come here is an awesome choice!
I needed my wisdom teeth removed desperately, and everyone at this establishment was so helpful, patient, and transparent with me. The removal process was a breeze! I cant recommend Dr. Ronald McKay and his staff enough.
Update on my previous post. My son had the procedure done for his wisdom teeth and his procedure was a success. He had all of his wisdom teeth removed. After day one in recovery, my son did not complain about any pain. After the 3rd day he was back in school and had no complications. On our follow up visit everything looked great. My son healed very well. Thank you Dr. McKay and Staff for a job well done!
I love coming here. The office is very warm and inviting and the staff is always so friendly. The waiting area is a good size, but rarely are you waiting for an already scheduled appointment. My family and extended family in the area all come here to this office. I think that right there speaks volumes.
My experience at this office has always been the best. They are very professional and I LOVE my hygienist Janet is the best!!
It’s always a good experience at Dr. McKay’s office. Everyone is pleasant, professional with excellent skillsets. I’ve been going since 1967. Started w/Dr. Whytock, then Dr. Grossman, now Dr. McKay & I keep going back. That says it all!😃
Dr McKay & his team areexcellent! This is a firstrate dental office.Everyone is friendly,helpful & patient.Dr McKay is highlyskilled as a dentist.Hes up to date withthe newest methodsto make patients feelcomfortable duringevaluations, extractions& more.

It’s 6:00 am, my tooth aches, my face is swollen, and the pain is spreading from my chin to my ear. A friend got me a referral for a local dentist, and I waited for the office to open to get an emergency appointment. I was apprehensive to make the call, having had many negative experiences, and I was also embarrassed for neglecting my dental care for so long, but the pain had gone on for 3+ days, so I made the call to Dr. Ronald McKay’s office in Glendale. I was immediately aware that Dr. McKay had assembled a stellar staff of caring, compassionate women who make you feel like your well-being is a primary concern, from the angel who answered the phone and fit me in that afternoon, to the kind and thoughtful woman who brought me a protein drink to insure I had something in my stomach, and everyone in between. Attitude and proficiency was A+++, without exception. Within minutes of meeting Dr. McKay, my trepidation vanished. His exam was thorough, and he was attentive to my concerns as we discussed my history and situation. I felt no pressure or judgment. He worked quickly and competently. It was over before I knew it, and he was able to save my tooth with a root canal! If you have been putting off a dental visit, I urge you to call Dr. McKay’s office. I guarantee that you will be more than pleased. There is no better group of people that you can trust with your oral health👍🏻
I have been very happy with my experiences at this Dental Office. I especially love Narine, she is the dental hygienist and does an amazing job cleaning my teeth. I wont let anyone else do it because she is the perfect balance of getting the job done without any discomfort and its apparent she cares about what shes doing and is thorough!!!
Dr. McKay has a lot of new-fangled equipment but what I value most is the way he provides service with kindness, consideration and old-fashioned skill. He and his staff help me feel safe and I love the results. I have been a client for over 4 years and my teeth are healthier as over time Dr McKay has “upgraded” my old fillings and crowns. My husband had a tooth go bad several years ago and his previous dentist sent him to several specialists, and the end result cost thousands of dollars. The next year his previous dentist said he needed to go thru the whole routine again with a different tooth. He went to Dr. McKay to fix the second tooth but this time was better because all the work was done in-house and the savings were significant. The staff does their best to make my bi-annual check-up and cleaning like a spa experience. I appreciate how well Armineh cleaned my teeth. Claudia assisted Dr. McKay with my crown prep and made sure I felt comfortable during the entire procedure. Janett cleaned my husband’s teeth and gave him some handy tips for using his whitening trays. I consider my smile the jewelry I wear everyday and I am happy that Dr. McKays team of professionals are there to help keep it beautiful.
I have had Janet cleaning my teeth for Over 20 yearsShe is the best
I love these folks! The best dentistry team in LA!
Extremely pleasant and professional Team, the practice is impeccable, so clean and finally my Dental Hygienist, Janet, does an outstanding job🙏😊Maryam Saghatelian
From the initial phone call to schedule my first (emergency)appointment to the end of my procedure, everything ran like clockwork. Dr. McKay and staff are professional, honest and kind, and the state of the art office is run efficiently. Everyone took great care of me and made sure I was comfortable at all times.I experienced neither pain nor bleeding during or after the surgery. I am pleased (and relieved) to have found Dr. McKay, and I trust him and his staff to help me maintain my oral health. I can honestly say that I look forward to going to the dentist now!
As has always been my experience, the staff, hygienist and Dr. McKay are all wonderful. I had a very short wait ( less than five minutes) and they handled everything efficiently and with kindness. I had some concerns about starting a new medication, Dr. McKay took extra time to address my concerns and I left feeling relieved. Highly recommend!
Dr. McKay is awesome! I woke up with a toothache and called his office. Got an appointment immediately. I went in and was told I needed a root canal. Dr. McKay did the root canal and 45 minutes later I walked out the door. No pain .... Best experience ever!!
Dental Hygienist was extremely detailed and gentle with a fantastic personality. Would definitely recommend!
First class operation that is made that way by the first class people that work there. If there were one hundred stars allowed for the review, I would post two hundred.
Excellent service and friendly staff. I have been going to this dentist for over 20 years and I highly recommend! They are the best.
Janet is the best ! I drive from Culver City to GlendaleTo see her. The office is very professional and organized. Fair prices. Highly recommend
They are very careful and fully explain what they find, watch, and plan to do. They even take pictures that they can post on a screen that show exactly what they are talking about during the consultation. Considering I am 75, some of my old fillings may need replacing with white resin of some sort. The old amalgam fillings can hold up but the mercury that is in them is problematic. BTW several of my newer fillings over the years are the resin type and are just fine.
I had a badly infected Tooth that had to come out. The process to remove the tooth and then insert a post and put a new tooth on it is a 5 month process. Dr. McKay has been as good as they come in his profession. He is so knowledgeable and reassuring, as he works on you. He continually ask how your doing as far as pain and does Not hesitate to do everything possible to ensure your comfort level is good. His staff are the best exhibiting a friendly and professional atmosphere in the office. I am fairly new to Dr McKay but he has made me feel like I’ve know him for years.Thanks Good work Dr McKay and your wonderful staff.
Dr McKay extracted four wisdom teeth from our 18 year old daughter today, and even though she chose to go without the IV sedation she had a very good experience. First they offered her a Valium to take the edge off. The upper molars came out, no problem. The lower teeth were impacted and difficult to remove; usually if the patient is fast asleep, it’s easy for the dentist to apply all the necessary pressure and ream away until the tooth pops out, but when the patient is awake that kind of activity can make them anxious. When our daughter started to act anxious and worried (there was no pain, just a lot of pressure), Dr McKay stopped the procedure and called me in. After I checked to make sure she wasn’t feeling pain, I told her it was going to feel very strange but just let it happen and it will be over soon. They gave her a second Valium, waited for it to take effect, and just a few minutes later both lower molars were out. Our daughter had no complaints about the procedure, due to Dr McKay and the assistants’ wonderful communication skills and reassuring words, and their patience, taking the time to make sure she was comfortable with everything they were doing. It was great for her to be able to walk out of there lucid and not heavily sedated, although having witnessed that difficulty in the middle of the procedure I would only recommend the no-IV-sedation approach for people who can deal with some discomfort and have zero anxiety issues. He sewed her up well so there was not much bleeding. We were given clear instructions for how to take care of her as she recovers, and so far she is doing very well. Very happy with the outcome!
Very friendly and professional staffDr McKay is AMAZINGClean and therapeutic office environment
Dr McKay the consummate professional.I’ve been coming to this office since Dr Whytock was my first dentist over 40 years ago.Dr McKay always makes me feel at ease, no matter what dental procedure he is performing on me.Also have to give kudos to the whole staff- very friendly and professional!Thanks,George Yates
I had a bad experience a long time a gap with a dentist that made me so afraid to go to the dentist that I had not been in at least 12-13 years... but a wisdom tooth pushed me to a point that I had no choice but to go. I was in so much pain that I just picked a dentist near me with the best reviews... I called and was lucky to get in the next morning. I must say the experience was amazing from the second I walked through the door... I was a little worried because I didn’t check any pricing before going and the way they were treating me and the look of the hi-tech office made me think... oh this is gonna be expensive. Well guess what!!! It wasn’t any more expensive than any other place. Once I actually got in the chair the service was top notch, constantly being checked on... I was even offered something to drink and a blanket, I even had a personal tv to watch so I wasn’t just sitting there dreading what was to come a wisdom tooth extraction!! Oh boy fun right? When it was time to extract the tooth everything was painless... seriously. It didn’t hurt not one bit, only a lot of pressure, but no pain. Which everyone promised me, throughout... didn’t believe them at first but I was surprised when they held up to their promise. So with all that said... i can assure you... best dentist and dental team I have ever had!!! Hands down!!! Don’t second guess yourself, and no need to read any other post... I’m so sure it will be the best experience that if it’s not I’ll by you lunch.
After months of NOT going to the dentist and then learning my dentist had retired, I made an appointment with this office. It turns out my dental hygienist had moved along with the patients.I loved this experience. The office is clean, bright, and modern. The equipment is, too. It was lovely to see Narene, my dental hygienist, again.Several routines were different from the former dental office: x-rays, where to spit after the teeth are polished, the layout of the room.It was all good. I love this place.
The office was pristine as usual, but extra time and precautions were made to clean in between patients. As usual, Dr McKay was gentle and reassuring. His anesthetic shots never hurt and he reads behavior really well and checks in a lot during the procedure. Two fillings done!
I love this office, they are the most friendly and welcoming dental group I’ve ever been a patient of. Janet is the most gentle hygienist, I can honestly doze off fall while she’s cleaning and polishing my teeth. The staff always has a smile and willing to help schedule your next appointment or whatever you need. Dr McKay Is the friendliest and most gentle guy. I highly recommend this office for your dental needs. And by the way during Covid they are practicing every ounce of prevention possible, I feel safe here.
Been a customer for four year and always an excellent experience.Debbie was always kind and gentle. Good luck Debbie in your retirement.Set you in six months. 😁👍
Dr. McKays office takes great care of their patients! Narine is the best hygienist! I’ve been seeing her for many years, she always gives good tips on how to take care of my teeth. The front office staff is kind, caring and they follow up with all the scheduling needs!
Highly satisfied! Dr. McKays couldnt be any better.His staff is kind and pleasant.If a dentist visit could be called enjoyable, this is it.
Excellent. I have been going to Dr. McKay for years (10? Maybe more). Usually with pretty serious stuff like a root canal etc. And if you can believe it, almost looking forward to it. The entire practice, everyone I ever met, is super competent, quick, efficient, and very pleasant.
Very friendly place. They don’t push unnecessary procedures on you. Norine cleans my teeth better yet more gentle than anyone I have ever used.
Great, friendly staff and truly professional dental care.
I would like to recommend the dental office of Dr. Ronald McKay, the office is very clean, the staffs are very professional and helpful especially Ms. Janett. Please visit their office at 1150 N. Brand Glendale, CA Highly recommended. Thank you Dr. Mckay, Ms. Claudia, Ms. Jocelyn and Ms. Gale for your kindness, especially Dr. Mckay for his kindness to us and understanding. Appreciate it so much. God bless always.
Dr McKay has a pleasant staff, especially Janette my hygienist. She is the best and most delicate hygienist I’ve ever had in my whole 64 years. I would highly recommend Dr. McKay and Janette to any and all of my friends. Very professional and a nice new facility . The text reminders they send help me remember my appointments and help me be there on time.Sincerely,PAUL
I was referred to Ronald McKay DDS by my old dentist Dr Berg. We have been with Dr. Berg for almost 40 years, so it was hard to think about changing. I came to his office were the personnel made us feel comfortableIt was nice to see some known faces like Nadine and Daisy.After my usual cleaning it was found that I needed a new filling. This became a complicated procedure to a point that I needed urgent care.Drs Lai and McKay came to my aide and prescribe some medications for pain and infection. Then Sol and Linda help me until I saw Dr McKay again. He checked me and assured me that I will be ok. I have confidencethat I will be ok with my new dentists.
I went for my usual cleaning at Dr. McKay’s, but this time it was with Janet, a great hygienist. She was gentle but thorough and made some helpful suggestions in my brushing. Everyone there is wonderful! Thank you 🤗👍😁💗
Wonderful experience all around. From the lovely, friendly, helpful office staff, to the friendly and professional dental staff, they make going to the dentist into a relatively pleasant experience.
Great practice! Been going to Janet for years. Dr McKay did my vineers almost10 years ago and they still look great no problems, I have recommended him to people and they all are happy, quality work😁
Went in for a cleaning and it was the most thorough and professional cleaning I’ve ever had. The office staff is very friendly and I like that they don’t try to pressure you to get a dental procedure.
The staff here are super friendly, They made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I will be going back and I highly recommend this dentist to anyone.
Dr. McKay repaired a cracked tooth, also removing an ancient silver amalgam, during a 2 hour period. Well done! I followed up 2 weeks later to improve the bite; he removed a small pointed structure that interfered with the teeth chewing correctly. Remarkable improvement and satisfaction.Follow up on April 14, 2021: regularly scheduled cleaning with Narine; excellent!
My first time here. Very professional and understanding. Friendly staff.
This was my first visit, aside from a cleaning, and I was impressed quite positively by the friendliness and professionalism exhibited by all members of Dr. McKays staff. Its obvious these people see the importance of teamwork. My previous dentist retired and highly recommended Dr. McKay as his successor and I certainly can see why he made that choice. Dr. McKay is personable and highly competent dentist that handled my somewhat difficult task without a problem and in a surprisingly short time while still being able to converse pleasantly with me. I live in Mission Viejo but I will certainly continue as a patient because of the very pleasant experience while undergoing a treatment for a repair one could only as describe as somewhat less than pleasant. I dont think things could have been handled any better.
Janet was excellent during my cleaning, very professional and accommodating also very knowledgeable . Awesome experience
So thankful my co-worker recommended Dr. McKays office to me. I had a dental emergency and the staff and Dr took such good care of me. I was embarrassed about my teeth and they were so kind to me. They go over all the procedures and benefits thoroughly. Office is immaculate and state of the art equipment.
Great staff, very fast and friendly Office. Dr. McKay is very good at his craft. I like the hygienist and overall the place is super clean and Dr. McKay is awesome.
I really have enjoyed going to this dental office. Everyone who works here is very nice and friendly. Dr. Vickie Lai gave me outstanding customer service and with a smile besides! She is a true artist. Narine, my dental hygienist, is always glad to see me, and she does a fantastic job cleaning my teeth. She makes my smile look so good! The office staff, Deysi, Gail, and Keli are especially friendly and kind, it is a pleasure to see them all. They really make you feel welcome here. The holiday decorations Gail puts up are terrific. You cant go wrong using this dental office for all your dental needs. I highly recommend them.
Everyone I met today was so kind and gentle and patient with me! I hadn’t been to the dentist for a few years after a horrible experience somewhere else but Armineh (hope I spelled that correctly) gave me newfound hope! Thank you!
So happy to have a great denist. My visit could not have gone better; Well, maybe less sleepy on the music would be nice. I drove 35 miles to get there today, which Ill gladly do to go to this dentist office with friendly, capable staff.Second visit great too. The oral photos to see details is cool. No sleepy music this time : )
Beautiful clean office, warm, friendly helpful staff
I wouldn’t trade an hour or two at Dr.McKay’s for a week in Paris! HE’S THAT GOOD!!
Lovely I got the best cleaning I’ve ever had. Entire staff is very nice, friendly and professional. Office has the best equipment for everything!
Great Place to get your dental! Great dental team, and service. Dr Mckay did a root canal, no pain during or after the treatment. Recommend!
Dr. McKay is the very best dentist I’ve ever been to by far! He’s so kind and knowledgeable, and his delightful staff can’t be beat. They are all so wonderful, the office is super clean, the wait times are never long, and my teeth are in terrific shape as a result. I’ve sent many friends and peers to Dr. McKay and they are all very happy as well.
I walked in terrified and left completely calm an reassured.
Had to have extensive work done on my teeth, a root canal plus oral surgery. All went very well, I was very pleased, Dr McKay and the staff were great. Nareen has been cleaning my teeth for years, shes the BEST!
Dr. McKay and his team are excellent!
We moved here after Dr. John Berg retired and his dental hygienists moved to Grossman McKay. We love Narine and Deysy. We have gotten to know everyone at the new office too. Thank you.
He is the best! Excellent Dentist, Personable, Fast, Clean office, and, Excellent Hygienists!! And I have a Dentist Dad and Brother!!
I was really impressed on my visit. All staff were so friendly, welcoming and professional and the practice has excellent Covid-19 safety measures in place which made be feel very comfortable. Thank you to all
Never been there but receiving spam email from them!
Best dentist in Glendale. Love the staff. They make you feel special. I love Dr. McKay! Ive been more than satisfied with his work and highly recommend him.
Im convinced this place is actually a spa. Dr. McKay is very polite, informative, and respectful. Everyone else there is also very personable and well-mannered.
My crown work went very well and was performed quickly and efficiently.
Excellent service. Friendly, kind people. Highly recommended. Thank you as always.
I had my teeth cleaned by Armine today, and she did a great job! She was meticulous, and very kind. I’m always impressed with the cleanliness of their office, but especially with COVID, I’m especially grateful for their spotless environment.
They did a great job, with little or no waiting ....
I have been a patient at this dental office for over 20 years and I continue to go there because Dr. McKay and his staff are the BEST!! They are the best staff, have the best technology, are so warm and appreciative of their patients and they do excellent dental work with no pain no matter the procedure.
Excellent, professional caring work. Dr. McKay and his staff are exceptional, efficient, very friendly and make you feel like you are the most important patient they have. From the moment I came in for my appointment to when I departed I knew I was in very safe hands.
In for first time for a cleaning. Narine did an awesome job- very thorough and professional. Office staff were great and safety measures in place as I was only one in waiting area.
The office is efficient and all staff and doctors do good work. The office practices all safety precautions during this period of health uncertainty.
Janet was amazing! Spent extra time on me to make sure my teeth were perfect! Im going back for sure
Wonderful experience, everyone friendly knowledgeable and prompt to answer my questions.Im looking forward to my next appointment.No cavities!😊
I would like to recommend Dr. Ronald McKay Dental located at 1150 N. Brand., Glendale CA 91202. Very nice work and professional treatment as well her staffs especially Ms. Janet, Ms. Jocelyn and Dra. Lai and most especially thank you so much Dr. Mckay for your kindness. Appreciate it so much with all my heart. Thank you so much.
Best dentist ever. Entire staff are professional and follow safety guidelines.Janet worked very hard to do a thorough job cleaning my teeth.They all rock!
Dr. McKay and staff are very kind and caring, They go the distance to really take care of their patients.Thank you.
My dentist of 40+ years retired and referred me to Dr. McKay. Lovely office, friendly staff and Dr. McKay was great. He was very personable and kept me informed of everything he was doing as he took care of my dental issue.
Going to my dentist office is the best and most professional experience I always have there. Dr. McKay is absolutely a great dentist.
I let reception know that I had arrived. They came outside to let me know that they were ready for me. All personnel had PPE. They took my temperature. They were wiping down the exam chair and drying it when I entered. State of the art equipment; friendly, competent personnel; Effective strategies for treating terrified patients. What more could you ask for.
100% BAD. I was told $1,000 for a root canal and then charged $1,600, he did not fix what I went in for, the tooth he did work on hurts all the time and when I cried ouch when he hurt me he yelled I dont hurt people!.
Clearly a team of caring professionals. From the phone receptionists, to the hygienists and dentists, everyone has always kept me well informed and educated. I have known when and how to better use my insurance and was clearly explained the different treatment options available. They are also great at prevention. There goal is definitely not to keep getting the same patients back for problems that could be avoided. Im definitely getting better at taking care of my teeth and understanding its long-term effects. Thank you.
My friend and dentist of 48 years, persuaded by the mystery of the Covid-19 pandemic, decided it was time to retire. This predicament left me unprepared and out of my comfort zone until my wife read some excellent reviews about Dr. McKay. When you walk in to his waiting room it appears you have entered the boarding area for a journey into outer-space. The modern methodical design of the dental office with efficiency in workflow and with state-of-the art equipment is impressive. The dental office is safe to visit during the pandemic because the staff takes great care to sanitize all the surfaces for infection control measures. Masks and all PPE are used by both Dr. McKay and staff to ensure the safety of both patients and staff. He is surrounded by a small army of skilled professionals and a pleasant clerical staff to comfort any preexisting apprehensions. Coming to Dr. Mckay, you will find him friendly, honest, knowledgeable and highly skilled. Throughout the procedure he explains every step in detail while performing his art efficiently and with a light touch. Once the procedure is complete, he will provide detailed instructions, supplies and schedule a subsequent appointment to evaluate his work. In addition to the quality workmanship, you will take with you a meaningful quote displayed on his monitor, Excellence is not a skill, its an attitude.
Great dentist and dental staff. Positive atmosphere - very efficient friendly customer service. I love that they create the permanent crown while you wait. The skill level in that place is very high. They make it pretty effortless and I never have problems after having work done there.
Me and my family have been going to this practice for years. As the owner of a manufacturer of dental equipment, I can say that I have been in hundreds of dental facilities and have delt with hundreds of doctors,, assistants and front desk people and I am pleased to report Dr. McKay has built a beautiful facility for his practice on North Brand,, has great ladies at the front desk and terrific assistants and a fantastic hygeniest in Janett. Moreover, Dr. McKay is a phenominal dentist, up on all the latestequipment, techniques and protocols.
Had a great experience all new equipment did a great job told my friend about it
Truly a 5 star experience.
Great experience. Dr MCKay and his staff are excellent. Very modern, comfortable office. The latest technology.
Great service and wonderful people!
I could not be more pleased by the dental services I received today at your dental office.
Narineh who did my cleaning was amazing, one of the best cleanings I’ve ever had and so friendly! Office is clean and staff is extremely nice.
My first time using this dental office since Dr. Berg closed his office. I had my teeth cleaned by Narine. My wife and I have had our teeth cleaned by Narine at Dr. Bergs office for years. She is be best dental hygentist you can find. She is very thorough and caring. She is the only reason I drive across town from Cheviott Hills on the Westside to Glendale.
My first visit. Courteous reception. Dental procedure on time. Good experience.
Pain free dentistry. Friendly staff. Always a great experience!
