I had not gone to a dentist for over 2 years. The last dentist I had was so bad that I was scared to go to a dentist again. My co-workers were going to Dr. Ernie and said he was wonderful. I had a filling come out so thought I had better go in. Dr. Ernie and his staff made me so comfortable from the moment I walked in the office that I have no problem going to the dentist now. He is, by far, one of the best dentists I have ever had.

I have had a healthy fear of Dentists and how much it was going to hurt, untill I met Dr. Lavorrini. He let me know it never had to hurt. This dentist is a perfectionist and that is why we take our kids my daughter just had the implant now we are going to get the crown done. My daughter decided she wanted a diamond in it Dr. Lavorini went out of his way a few times to make sure everything is going to look the best. That is what he is TOP OF THE LINE. He will send back a crown if it's not perfect he has done it for me for years. I don't have dental insurance right now and Oakland is at least 45 min. drive on a good day for us. He is worth it you will have a perfect smile when he is done. We are cash patients we could go anywhere but we want the best so Dr. Lavorinin is our man. THANKS DOC!!!

Before going to Dr. Lavorini I had not been to the dentist in 9 YEARS. Since then everyone has been absolutely fantastic & has taken great care of me. I am a big baby when it comes to going to the dentist & having any procedure done, but they are patient, kind and make sure I am not in any pain. Dr. Choi, the periodontist, is also really wonderful. The receptionist actually remembers my name & asks me about my daughter. Last time I was there, she even noticed I had cut my hair! Talk about service. I have recommended them to 6 of my friends and all of have gone & loved Dr. L & the staff as well.

I love Dr. Lavorini. He has a really conservative treatment approach and a great way with people. He''s also very skilled- he did a composite on my front tooth because I cracked it when I was 12, and it looks beautiful. I'm actually nervous for the day that he retires.

I have a fear of the dentist, and every time I go to Dr. Lavorini's office I leave in a great mood. His entire staff is increadibly nice and beyond helpful. Dr. Lavorini himself is extremely nice, and has a great bed-side manner and sense of humor that completely puts you at ease. Also, if you need nitrous oxide, he seems to be in tune with exactly when to turn the gas up during intense drilling so that you don't even notice. Another great thing is that they don't price gouge. In fact, the first time I went they gave me free nitrous. And the next time I went in they gave me a free desensitization treatment for a sensitive tooth. They take pride in truely caring for their patients. I have never had such a great experience with a dental office.

Dr. Lavorini is an outstanding dentist because he and his staff make sure you're comfortable. . I have Cerebral Palsy & Ernie knows how to work people like me. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I had Dr Lavorinii for several years and he is great. He is a dentist for all the rest. He is artistic and has a great sense of humor. I wish i lived in the area just so I could go to him. He and his staff are wonderful. He also takes care of his patients when anything happens outside of his normal hours. I was shocked when I went to another dentist and was informed that no one would help me (a crown that they had put on fell off and I was leaving the country the next week). I was spoiled. The work is excellent. He is a very very good dentist.

Dr Lavorini is a really nice guy. The most impressive thing about my experience w/Dr Lavorini (who shares a practice with Dr Gloria Fong) is the facility - Oh my goodness! It is so nice and clean and modern and high tech. You can watch cable TV while they work on your mouth... There's a screen above each chair for when you're reclined - And one on the wall for when you're sitting upright. It doesn't feel like a dentist's office at all - It's very comfortable which for someone with dentist anxiety like me, is very helpful.
Everyone who works there is really nice... The front desk folks are friendly, the hygienists are too.
As for the treatment - The cleaning was effective and painless. He's happy to explain everything in great detail, too. However, one of the fillings Dr Lavorini gave me broke and he refilled it but it still gives me a lot of trouble. The others he gave me are okay. It may have broke because of my TMJ-related tooth-grinding. His suggested solution to the TMJ was a mouthguard that ended up making my TMJ worse. If you have jaw problems, I would ask for a referral and try to go elsewhere to get it treated. But for routine dental work, Dr Lavorini is a good dentist and I've heard good things about Dr Fong, too.
