A very kind person and dentist. I mean, extremely compassionate and calming. Highly recommend for hesitant or nervous individuals, especially teens or children. She patiently explains everything before she does it and will even say that it is their decision, they are in control, etc. Cannot recommend enough for a frightened kid.

That is why I drive 130 miles from Los Angeles to San Marcos to get to Nordahl Dental office, so my teeth can be cared for by Dr. Rima Shahhal. Dr. Shahhal has been my family dentist for the past 22 years. In short, that is the place where I get super dental work with no pain. On behalf of my wife and our two children, I would like to thank you and your friendly staff for the great job you have been doing to help us over the years maintain healthy teeth. Your friendly smile always sets my mind at ease whenever I set on that dental chair. Thank you. God bless.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shahaal's (almost) since her opening! Her practice is very patient centered: helpful billing staff, supremely knowledgeable hygienists,a spotless office, and a supremely knowledgeable dentist. Dr. Shahaal makes coming to the dentist a pleasure because she is kind, gentle, thorough, and artistic. Not only does she makes sure that your teeth and gums are healthy; she strives to make any repairs (fillings, crowns etc..) natural and beautiful! She and her staff strive to give every patient their best each day.
