"Love Dr. Guss and the team!! My wife and I have been seeing them for about 7 years now and we couldn’t be happier with their care and services. Dr. Guss is super gentle and the whole team makes you feel like family. We live in East Hollywood, but make the trek out to Simi because we couldn’t imagine going to any other dentist. We also constantly try to refer our friends and ensure them the drive is more than worth it! I’m always happy to say, “I love my dentist!”"
