Dr. Brightleaf is absolutely by far one of thee most genuine, dialed in, health conscious and on point practitioners in her field hands down. She is very well educated, well experienced, extremely passionate about her practice, and still to this day continues to study and take advanced cutting edge courses and training on various new paradigm modalities and dental related practices. Upon my many appointments and experiences with her thus far.. you can tell by the particular order of operations she carries out, her choices and decisions, her suggested recommendations with sincerity, and the honoring of your overall freewill that she has your best and highest good in mind. Not whats in your pocket book. I have watched her repeatedly do everything she can to work with you on your budget while at the same time give the most open hearted honest opinion and recommended advice while still honoring your freewill to choose. Shes not a doctor who will just do or go through with unnecessary procedures just to get more money out of you. She truly wants what is best for the synergy of both you and your dental hygiene. As a holistic dentist, as far as myself and many others I know and have talked to are concerned, she sets the bar. Everything from flower essence relaxants, to non-fluoridated protocols, to Isolite protective catch suction inlays, to properly curing and layering your fillings and build-ups one layer at a time for maximum strength and long lasting durability, to speedy amalgam(metal filling) removal and exposure time, to sitting you up immediately after your amalgam removal(s) and swishing your mouth out with chlorella. Her integrity shows through her actions. Shes direct and a perfectionist, both something to be greatly admired when it comes to your health. I recently had the experience of having her remove all of my amalgams a few months back during one of my appointments. it was an experience I feel very blessed and grateful to have been facilitated solely under her care. After experiencing what I did and all that I have, I greatly have my doubts about most other dentists doing a finer, more cautious, more careful and righteously thorough job. Everyone else who works there is also very sweet, lovely and pleasant. Ruth, Cathrine, Ariel, Anna E, Kim, and the other dental hygienist gal that I experienced, thank you all for being so kind and wonderful during all of our interactions. Its nice to be around such a group of dedicated individuals all working so beautifully toward a cause you all believe in. Youre all angels in my book.

I just had my first visit to Dr. Brightleafs office. It was by no means a "happy" visit in regards to my immediate dental needs and my forthcoming treatment plan (due to me not seeing a dental professional for a couple years). Having said that, Dr Brightleaf and her entire staff (Ruth, Liz, Carolyn who I met) stand out among dental providers and professionals in many ways. Firstly, everyone is consistently very professional and personable …. more so than dental professionals I have worked with in the past. It clearly stood out for me. As part of my first visit, Dr. Brightleaf and get staff were not only thorough n baselining my dental health, but very efficient, professional, courteous , and went out of their way to provide detailed explanations as to where my dental health is (much more so than I am accustomed to). If you are reading this review, you know that Dr. Brightleaf is a "holistic" dentist, which is what motivated me to see Dr. Brightleaf for my first visit …. the professionalism and feeling of ease provided by her entire staff makes me "feel good" about having my dental health needs addressed at Brightleaf dentistry. Again, never a happy occasion to need dental work, but necessary in my case and frankly pleased that it will be with Dr. Brightleaf and her wonderful staff.

As far as Im concerned, dental care starts with the staff and only then comes from the dentist. Every time I go into Dr. Brightleafs office, I am welcomed and made to feel comfortable -- and that actually starts when I call to set an appointment. Under Dr. Brightleafs leadership, these people seem to genuinely care about how Im doing and work to relieve the stress of needing dental treatment. As for Dr. Brightleafs work, I find it gentle and meticulous. I prefer a natural approach to health, and I feel Dr. Brightleafs knowledge and methods are a perfect complement to the work of my other practitioners. She somehow manages to be up to date on the leading edge of dental science while still respecting and practicing the principles of natural and holistic healing. I have had a lot of dental work in my life, starting as a young teen. Thanks in large part to Dr. Brightleaf, I still have all my teeth and better dental health than ever. I am more than pleased to have Dr. Brightleaf as an integral member of my health team and unhesitatingly recommend her to others who ask me if I know of a good dentist.

My first aim in looking for any dentist - a hunt which in the past, has to the detriment of my teeth taken years, is to find a doctor who not only demonstrates a mastery, an intricate attention to detail and respect for their work but MOST importantly the extremely rare ability to handle with compassion, tact and care the more sensitive and squeamish patients. I cannot imagine the state my teeth would be in today if I had not found Ana who I now, after years in her care, count as a friend. Trusting her implicitly, so much so that even though I have moved to another city, recently visiting back to Los Angeles, I made sure to book appointments to continue any work that needed being done as I simply have not found another practitioner in my area who can even begin to compare to Anas excellence.

How wonderful it is to find a fine-excellent-maybe exceptional is the correct word- dentist who cares about the perfection of her work. It may be as small as a filling, as large as a crown but all the details are important and consequently any person that goes to Dr Ana Brightleaf for dental work will receive the benefits of all her skills. Even matching color for the best possible match on a temporary filling is seen to and her staff follows her example of the best that can be done. consider.yourself the lucky one if she has time for you. This is the best dentist in the world! the best dental office in the world. The best care that you will ever get and its Holistic as well, at least as Holistic as you can possibly get. The invisalign braces are fabulous. I love them!

Dr. Brightleaf is the most skilled, state-of-the-art, medically relevant, genuinely caring, holistic dentist of whom I have had the privledge of being a patient. As a strong believer in holistic approaches to health and wellness, I have sought the medical advice of several oral practicioners over the course of many years, and none of which I felt comfortable undergoing any procedures with for treatment of my TMJ. Dr. Brightleaf is the only dentist who I have trusted with my oral health and have been a happy patient for several years. I am always delighted by the level of care I receive from Dr. Brightleaf and her entire staff--they are truly phenomenal and her practice is relevant with the latest research and technology in holistic dentistry.
