What Our Patients Say

Excellent dentist with a great staff.

"Always welcoming to se so many smiling faces. I came in with a problem and left knowing how I could fix it with proper flossing. What a relief!"

Best dentist ever!

"So thorough, friendly and informative. Never trying to sell you on services. I'm so happy I found Dr. Peri and the staff here. I'll be a patient for life here! Thank you!"

I love it here. The staff is amazing.

"I'm always a nervous wreck at the dentist but not here! They really make you want to come back. Clean and great location. They all make you feel welcome and that's top notch for me!"

"This is the friendliest office and the care is always top notch. I actually look forward to going to the dentist!"

"Dr. Peri was recommended to my wife and I from close friends of ours. We had not been to the dentist since 2019, and the previous shop had closed during COVID. Our experience could not have been better. Everyone is very friendly and personable, from the receptionist, all support staff and Dr. Peri herself. We've so far received a level of care that we had never experienced before with any other dentist office. After photos were taken, a thorough review was done which included recommended next steps, discussing future preventative care and more were all discussed. Although we're not looking forward to the dental attention we need, we know we're in good hands and are looking forward to our visits with Dr. Peri and her awesome staff."

"Dr. Peri Hanawalt Wes and her team are truly wonderful! I recently moved to the area and couldn't be happier with her skilled, professional, and caring approach. My previous dental experiences before relocating to La Verne were awful and I finally feel like I found someone that is genuinely caring about my teeth and their health. She is incredibly professional, kind, genuine, an excellent listener, covid-safe, thorough, knowledgeable, and is clearly a talented dentist given the high caliber of work she has performed for me thus far. I am relieved to have come here and am very grateful for the level of care in comparison to what I had before. She and her team are so welcoming, warm, I'm able to schedule appointments at times that best match my schedule, and the office is clean, seems to be organized very well and effectively run, comfortable ambiance, and even has my toddler at ease as she recently became a patient, too. Dr. Peri and her team also do pediatric services and our child was immediately eased as this is new to her. Dr. Peri explained everything diligently to her, allowed her to hold and use some tools, and my daughter couldn't stop smiling thanking her after her appointment. We even picked up a dentist toy kit for her after her first appointment as Dr. Peri mentioned there was a great one available and our daughter now plays with it each day pretending to be a dentist after school. Another thing I appreciate about coming here is that even though appointments are months apart, the team remembers my family and I, asks about things I mentioned were coming up at a previous appointment, and don't miss a beat. Makes me feel very welcome as a newcomer in town. It's personal touches like that that make a business stand out. If you're new to the area or are looking to switch your dentist, I highly recommend visiting Hanawalt Dental for your cleanings, fillings, and everything in between."

"Looking for a great trusted Dentist team this is it! My family and I have been with them for over twenty years . I have no complaints only respect and I'm so thankful for them. From the ones that clean your teeth to the two Dentists to the front desk. All are amazing and treat me so well. The work they do is first rate."

"I'm writing this review for my parents. They don't Yelp but they spent ten minutes telling me how great this dentist is and said they want to write a review so I offered to write a one for them. They said "Dr Peri gives shots so well that you don't feel any pain whatever. Her skills as a dentist are SO GOOD. She even called the evening after we had procedures to follow up and make sure we were ok. Also, the support staff was excellent. She's the best dentist we've ever had". No kidding, I've never seen them this excited about going to the dentist."

"Excellent everything. I've had 3 appointments so far with 3 different dental assistants (or hygienists?) and they were all great. They were on time and waiting for me for each appointment. Everything is clean, everyone is attentive. Highly recommend!"

"I wish I could give this practice more stars. Honestly the best dental experience I've ever had. Everyone in the office is extremely sweet and welcoming. The exam I had was the most thorough I've ever experienced. The findings were explained in great detail to help me understand and there was zero pressure. For once I am excited to go to the dentist. Thank you so much!!"

"I don't know why I waited so long to switch dentists. I've been going to another local dentist that I didn't like but I loved my hygienist. Knowing I was going to need dental work done I decided to go to Dr Roger and Dr Peri from a recommendation of one of my husbands patients. Boy am I glad I did. They are hands down the best dental office I have ever been to. Every single staff member is so professional and friendly. My initial exam was extremely thorough and they take into consideration your well being. My second visit was my cleaning. Let me say that she was very gentle and gets the job done. I could go on and on but I'll close by saying do yourself a favor if you need a dentist or are thinking of switching come here. You will be so glad you did. Thank you to the entire staff of Hanawalt Dental."

"I am easy to please...but my picky 6 year old is another story. Nobody likes going to the dentist...well now i have a child who does. Hands down the best place ever for adults and kids. We saw Dr. Peri and I can't say enough about how great she was and her bedside manner was phenomenal. She was full of energy and made my 6 year old so comfortable. She definitely knows her stuff as well. My son asked when he could go back to wear the cool sunglasses Dr. Peri let him wear. This office definitely has this family of 5 for life. Couldn't be more satisfied with a dentist. You won't be disappointed for sure!!!!"

"My 92 year old father just relocated to LaVerne and was looking for a good dentist. Drs Hanawalt have been thorough, professional, friendly, and punctual. I highly recommend this dental group."

"Great customer service , I loved how much time they took in my consultation to explain everything I needed to have done! Also brought my 6 year old son in to have his check up and they were great with him !"

"Dr. Hanawalt and Dr. Perry are excellent dentists and great employers. Their staff, who make you feel like family, have worked at their practice for years. I have yet to see any staff person leave. Pricing is reasonable and the quality of work is outstanding. I'm never offered services I don't need, which always occurred at my previous dentist, and they always accommodate me around my work schedule. I highly recommend both Dr. Hanawalt and Dr. Perry."

"Dr. Hanawalt and his incredible office staff literally changed my life. On the first visit, they conscientiously attended to my fears and anaphylactic reactions to medications, then made a plan for me which required surgery with another dentist. I saw Dr. Hanawalt for approximately six months before, during, and after the surgery. He brought me to complete healing and a restored smile! The personel are exemplary in professionalism and sincere concern for all who walk through their doors."

"INTERESTING. There are 7 reviews for this dental office. HOWEVER, the only one that shows up without a 'filter' is the single negative one. Great. So, to try and counteract that, I'll reiterate my previous review. This is an EXCELLENT dental office. If you want a REAL person to care for you...then this is the dental office for you. Dr. Hanawalt's daughter is now on the team too..which allows better Dr. availability."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Hanawalt since I was a teenager. I had my first crown put on at his office and was pleased with the results. I have a tartar issue and have to have regular cleanings. I am always seen by the same technician and she is awesome. She remembers my history and is warm personable. I would recommend Dr. Hanawalt to all ages."

"I have been going to Dr.Hanawalt's office for many, many years. My mom went to him first and because she highly recommended him, I went there. I must start by saying that I have always had severe anxiety when it came to going to the dentist- so much so that I avoided going for many years. Everyone at the office is friendly, warm, and inviting. They were aware of my stress issues and treated my very kindly. After I had my daughter, and she got her first teeth, she too started going to Dr.Hanawalt. Mine is one of the few kids that loves going to see the dentist. She LOVES Dr.hanawalt. He always goes out of his way to chat with her and make her feel at ease. I now see Dr.Hanawalt's daughter, Dr.Peri. She is just as wonderful and experienced as her dad is. I would highly recommend either one of them. They are friendly and accommodating, always able to give me an appointment that fits my schedule. Their dental assistants are all very nice and always do a great job. No one likes going to the dentist (except for my daughter) but since you need to go, I highly recommend Dr.Roger Hanawalt's office."

"The absolute best! It had been a very long time since I went to a dentist. I was referred here by a close friend who raved about Dr. Peri. She was not wrong! The staff is so friendly and kind. They made the process of being a new patient very easy. And Dr. Peri? The best dentist I have ever been seen by! She took care of my immediate problem, helped layout what would be needed throughout the year, and explained everything to me in a very easy to understand manner. I appreciate this office very much and look forward to being a patient for a long time to come!"

"From beginning to end, this office is welcoming and efficient! Chris and and Tina at the front desk are so helpful and funny. Every one of the ladies in the back are top notch! And, Dr Peri is gentle, skilled, thorough and engaging. She makes you feel like you’re the most important person in the room! She and her dad, Dr. Hanawalt, make patient care their top priority. Thank you!"

"I finally got to have my teeth cleaned after having to postpone due to one thing after the other, including COVID. So glad they were able to reopen. Hanawalt Dental did a great job of making patients feel safe during this time. From the check-in to the check-out! Thanks to the whole staff that is so warm and caring! I highly recommend."

"I had a very positive experience at Hanawalt Dental. I was having issues with a filling from my previous dentist... Dr. Peri clearly explained my options and her recommendation. The hygienists were friendly and provided a thorough cleaning. They even gave my infant daughter a quick check up. Dare I say this was a pleasant visit to the dentist... I will be back!"

"Hanawalt Dental is fantastic. My family has been going here for several decades and we feel that the quality of care has been consistently outstanding. Moreover, everyone working there is friendly, kind, and caring. Two thumbs up!"

"Dr. Peri and her staff, are the BEST on the Planet ! I wish I had discovered them Many decades ago..."

"I’ve been going to Dr. Hanawalt my whole life and I love it! Everyone I’ve met there is skilled, attentive, friendly, and caring, and I keep coming back even though I’ve moved farther away because I can’t imagine going to any other dentist!"

"Hanawalt Dental came highly recommended by multiple friends and it is now my favorite dental office. Everyone there is kind, professional, and helpful."

"My family and I have been coming to Dr. Hanawalt for over 20 years! We love this office. The staff is great and everyone is very friendly and professional."

"You are always met with a smile from the staff and Doctors. Prompt & Professional Service. Keep Up the Great Work Team Hanawalt."

"The best dental office!! Excellent, caring dentists and the staff is top notch.!"

"No matter what you're having done, this office offers the best in dental care. So efficient, do not try to sell you services you don't need and are truly kind people."

"Everything about this office makes me want to stay with them for the rest of my life!!! Dr Peri is skilled and friendly, the staff has been there for years. I get anxious at dental appts, and going here makes me calm!"

"My hygienist is always amazing. Peri is also one of a kind. Just had cleaning done."

"Wonderful people! Always positive and always prepared! I needed special accommodations and they were able to accommodate me with no problems."

"Emergency appointment and everyone was grand. Kind, professional and thorough. This was my first time there and I will certainly go back."

"Great as always!!! Fast, approachable, professional. Dr Peri and her team are a local private dentist team with all of the background and equipment that a larger network has. They are hands on and listen to the patients."

"Excellent experience! Friendly, thorough and extensive exam, with lots of explanations along the way. I look forward to continuing treatment here for a long, long time!"

"Friendly, professional, and completely on schedule. Trustworthy professionals that make the experience pleasant."

"I have been a patient of Hanawalt dental for over 20 years. Both my children were patients too. I am extremely satisfied with my care and and the quality"

"My wife and I have been going here for years. My wife started first. I switched to Dr. Roger Hanawalt because she was so pleased with the care she received (I didn't like my dentist @ the time). It is nice to see Dr. Peri Wes take over the practice from her father. Comforting to know that there will be quality dental services in La Verne for the foreseeable future. Office staff is always friendly and helpful."

"I've been a patient at Hanawalt Denistry for over 40 years. The service has always been exemplary and the staff if very nice. Dr. Hanawalt (who was fantastic) has now retired and his daughter has taken over. She is fabulous and I love her too."

"My first visit at this great office today and it was amazing! Dr. Peri did a great evaluation of my mouth and exrays, office was extremely friendly and I felt I had always been going there! I was very impressed with every aspect of my visit. I am so glad I decided to come to this office! I will recommend this office to every one I know!"

"Absolutely phenomenal care. Friendly, professional, heartfelt, skilled, experienced, honest, upfront, affordable, and comforting. I cannot imagine going anywhere else for regular dental care."

"I've had the same hygienist, Shelby, for about 15 years. Can't say enough about her. Professional, friendly, and thorough. I've followed her to a few different locations. By far, Dr. Hanawalt is the best. Dr. Peri is great! I've learned so much about my teeth since going here. I highly recommend this practice."

"This is a very professional organization that does everything right the first time and they are a very warm and friendly staff. You will actually look forward to going to the dentist when they are done with you!"

"After 20 plus years with the same Dentist I decided to make a change! Met with Dr Hanawalt Wes and staff for a new patient appointment. Staff was friendly, helpful, and CoVid safe. The consult was so thorough. Explanations of X-rays and plan for my treatment was easily explained and very clear. I appreciated the printed invoice for my future treatment. Left feeling like I made a wise choice to change providers!!"

"My family and I are new in town. We were referred by my coworker. The entire staff were very polite and professional. I enjoyed the fact Jennifer and Doctor Peri Hanawalt were attentive and thorough with my examination. Every issue was explained in detail. I appreciated that. Yes I'm guilty of not staying consistent with dental visits in the past but this office has changed my perspective. Thank you again for a wonderful experience! See you soon!"

"Professional, skilled and caring. They go above and beyond. Personable staff and established community dentistry."

"I love the staff at Dr Hanawalt's office. They are all so sweet and very patient. Dr Peri and Dr Hanawalt really care about their patients. They spend a very generous amount if time with you. Nothing gets missed. I am looking forward to continuing my dental work with them and have never experienced such good care with any healthcare provider. Thank you to everyone at Dr Hanawalt' s office. Your the best."

"We are long time patients of Hanawalt Wes Dental Practice. Being with this wonderful staff is like being with family. Everyone in the office is very professional, but also very caring. We have never been in a more pleasant dental environment. The entire staff is kind, efficient and knowledgeable."

"This dental practice is a pleasure to visit. The staff are friendly and treat you like you actually matter! Most importantly, the dental care is second to none. I know I'm getting the proper care and that it's being done at the highest level. I would strongly recommend Hanawalt Dental to anyone that needs dental care!"

"Fabulous experience as always. Great staff to help with dental needs. I like the procedure of teeth cleaning then Dr Hanawalt inspecting my teeth. I love this dentist and staff."

"I went to Dr. Peri after a fall had broken a filling in a front tooth. They got me an appointment the next day and did the exam and repair the same day!!!! The filling is perfect, you cannot tell where the real tooth ends and the repair begins. Dr. Peri's "chair side" manner was great, she checked often to make sure I was comfortable, and let me know what was happening every step of the way. I would highly recommend Dr. Peri at Hanawalt Dental."

"Wonderful Dentist and Staff, high tech dentist equipment, took time and explained in detail what he was doing. I would definitely recommend to family and friends!!! A++++ service!"

"I see Dr. Hanawalt every six months and have always had excellent care from him and his staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Hanawalt."

"Very good dentist and hygienist overall... Had a crown that needed to be polished to remove some rough spots, had to set an appointment a week later! This could have been completed in about 10 or 15 minutes later instead of waiting an extra week."

"Hanawalt Dental is the ultimate family dentist. I have been going to this dental office for over 10 years and I can honestly say that I have never visited a more professional, welcoming, and talented dental group. Roger and Peri are both incredibly talented dentists and they clearly take great pride in their work. The only thing that rivals their skill is their complete transparency and honesty. Peri and Roger will give you an accurate assessment of necessary treatment and will never try to up-sell you or overcharge you. In short, Hanawalt Dental is a premier dental group and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a dentist. Thank you Peri and Roger for the great service!"

"My wife, Stefanie, and I are new to the Hanawalt dental practice. We couldn’t be more pleased with the professionalism and compassionate manner in which we have both been treated. We feel confident that with the help of Drs. Peri and Roger that our dental health will be greatly improved. Shelby and Pam are wonderful hygienists. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Thank you all!"

"Doctors in this office have cared for my teeth since 1961. Dr. Hanawalt is very skilled, gentle, caring, thorough, friendly, and accommodating. I have had a few emergencies with my teeth and he has always been able to work me in right away to bring relief. For routine repairs like fillings, crowns, and root-canals, he is the best. I have dealt with most of the staff members and all are tops."

"Having discovered a hitherto unknown technology problem that corrupted the electronic file of a scan of my teeth, Dr. Peri brought me back for a second scan after making sure that the technology problem had been corrected. She and Jennifer, her assistant, apologized for the problem (which was certainly not their fault) and then proceeded to do an expeditious yet careful second scan, checking to be sure that it was securely saved and received by the lab. This problem was handled exactly right, so that my already high opinion of the Hanawalt practice became even higher. What a good feeling to be in such a competent and considerate place for my dental care! Thank you."

"First time I have ever been to a dentist and got in promptly with virtually no delay. Staff excellent, very professional and dfriendly. (Tina, Jennifer and Jeanine)> Dr. Roger Hanawalt's exam was extremely thorough, and his p resentation of findings was excellent. Loved the shiny folder with all the info in it, along with photos and x-rays. Follow-up emails appreciated."

"Dr. Hanawalt is a consummate professional dentist. He is a man of integrity. He will never overcharge you or have work done that is not necessary. His hygienists are fantastic. Their teeth cleaning is superb. Everyone in the office is friendly and helpful. I have been served by Dr. Hanawalt for over 20 years. You couldn't find a better dentist!"

"This dental practice is truly unique, where patient care is valued above all else. The quality of dentistry and the personal touch of the dentists and of all the staff makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. I always feel that I’ve gotten my money’s worth and I tell everyone I know to go see them if they need any dental work! They are the best!"

"'ve been going to Hanawalt Dental for over 10 years now and I must say, I'm hooked--they're totally awesome. They're professional, efficient, prompt, thorough and anticipate any issues in advance which makes my life easier. And, I usually get a laugh from my hygienist with my dumb jokes/anecdotes. Thank you!"

"I have been a patient of DR Hanawalt's for over 30 years. Having a life long fear of dental work, Dr. Hanawalt, Dr. Peri and their staff have always calmed my fears. This appointment was no different. They genuinely care for their patients, and our comfort. They've been a blessing, In my life!"

"I continue to be impressed by this office. Since my last visit they have taken extraordinary precautions to minimize covid-19 dangers, including the ventilation system among many others. I felt as safe as possible during my visit. The quality of care, as usual, was top notch."

"The weeks and months dragged on since the cancellation of my routine cleaning due to Covid closures, I was grateful for the re-opening and scheduling of my cleaning. It was a symbol of "normal-ness" that I have been missing. The entire Staff took so many precautions to protect all of us and communicated instructions clearly and kindly throughout the process. I wasn't surprised - I've come to expect it here. They are simply the best and I value their friendship and expertise."

"I was apprehensive about having a dental appointment during a pandemic but, the Hanawalt team has everything well in hand. Aside from wearing a mask as you enter and leave it was the same positive experience it has been for over 25 years."

"Great office. Very professional, clean and friendly. They are always running on time which I appreciate. Both doctors are great but I usually see Dr. Peri and she’s fantastic. Highly recommend!"

"Very friendly, efficient staff. Office is a 10 in cleanliness. No waiting - they get you in at your appointment time. Pricing is a bit above average but so are their skills. I recommend and have no desire to look elsewhere."

"Friendly staff made me feel right and home and safe. The hygienist did a great job cleaning my teeth and was very gentle."

"I have been coming to Hanawalt Dental since I was a little kid and have even now brought my husband here. Everyone on the staff is excellent and friendly."

"For many years I have gone to Dr. Hanawalt for all my dental needs and I have always received excellent care."

"I saw Shelby for the first time on Monday. I had a very nice visit. Thank you Dr. Hannawalt for another stellar employee!!!"

"Pam is a great dental hygienist. Very skilled, attentive, and informative."

"I went to high school with Dr Walt I need to see him but don’t know if he can"

"I really appreciate all the new precautions being taken to keep everyone safe - thanks for the extra effort on our behalf."

"Gentle, attentive & awesome...can’t ask for more."
