Michael L. Mandell, D.D.S.
Dr. Michael Mandell grew up in the San Fernando Valley and graduated from Reseda
High School. He received his Bachelor's degree in Zoology from UCLA and returned
there to join the first class to graduate from the School of Dentistry. He received
a post-doctoral fellowship to do research at the Royal Dental College in Aarhus,
Denmark, where he did original research in the field of periodontal disease with
the world-renowned Dr. Harald Loe. He returned to the San Fernando Valley after
his time abroad and shortly afterward joined Studio City Dental Group.
As the senior managing partner of Studio City Dental Group, Dr. Mike has been instrumental
in establishing many of the innovations that make your visit as comfortable and
pleasant as possible. Dr. Mike takes great pride in the quality of the treatment
he personally provides. His general dentistry practice at 91607 emphasizes cosmetic
dentistry, implants, and endodontic (root canal) treatment.
Dr. Mike is a lifetime member of the American Dental Association and the California
Dental Association. He has been an active participant in the Internet Dental Forum
since its inception. This allows him to exchange the most current dental information
with other professionals worldwide.
Dr. Mike is married to his college sweetheart, Louise, an adjunct professor of Art
History at Los Angeles Mission College. He and Louise raised three children in their
Sherman Oaks home: Elisa, a professor at California State University, Fullerton;
Eleni, a singer/songwriter; and Joshua, an attorney who lives with his wife and
the grandkids directly across the street from Dr. Mike and Louise.
Dr. Mike loves to travel, especially to Italy. Photography is his avocation, and
his photographs adorn the walls of Studio City Dental Group. He has been an avid
scuba diver, runner, mountain climber, and cyclist, and is now a member of a masters
swim club.
