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 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.
